As they say, if you don't like the weather in New England, just wait 5 minutes.

I just re read that. Did you hear that over the cracker barrel while stoking the fire last night? How quaint.

You obviously have no historical reference to New England weather in mid December. Net net, skiing season to date is above average. As they say, if you don't like the weather in New England, just wait 5 minutes. I would simply add: or move.

Case in point, today's conditions....

Was thinking this also.... seems like a pretty normal December all things considered. We've had it good the last couple years, if memory serves right. Disclaiming that this is based on my own faulty memory and perception.

Also, why the heck wouldn't you make cheese with beer in it!? All it's missing is bacon chunks.

Has anyone seen anything about the Irving gas bogo lift ticket deal they did last year?

Killington tomorrow for me. I will be solo probably riding the gondola given the temps.

If you don’t like the weather in New England, ski indoors in New Jersey.

Either way, stop being a cunt.

[Bottleman]

Damn. Checked my pivots and one of them has a crack starting similar to Bottlemans photo, but not nearly as bad. Right side.

Time to search for replacement base I guess. Or get new skis. These have 4 seasons on them.

Also. Seems to be kinda common - https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/top...ink_source=app

My first and last good deed. Glad you found it.

they are awful with that web thingy. but as i typed above mobil IS doing their 2fer thing again. used it for half price tix for openjng day at plattekill.
buy gas in 8 gallon increments to maximize the number of stickers you get. 3 stickers on your booklet and you're set. not all mobils participate - and there's no web presence. albany western ave near SUNY, queensbury at northway (NYS) exit 20 are the two i frequent. as i learn of other locations i'll post 'em here.

Thanks for the info. Where do you get the booklet? Attached is the list I found last years participating locations.

i get mine from the places i listed. typically the ones that participate do do year after year (admittedly small sample size) so last year's list is a good place to start.

Was there a sign or sticker on the pump? Last year there was one through the Irving rewards program. You swiped your card and then when you had enough fillups you logged in and printed the voucher. When you did the voucher you had to choose the ski hill.

Great to see and ski with BD&L today, we all agreed on a 5/10 rating.

Snorth opening Friday should be good as the trails there didn't get skied to grass before the rain and have some base to them.

Glad we connected. Was very fun to get a few runs in together even tho conditions weren't exactly "epic". But it wasn't "fuck/shit" conditions by any means either, so a good day. In fact, given that my daughter's boot fitting issues seem to be resolved, I'd go so far as to call it an epic day.

Friends, family and skiing (pain free) makes for great times any day.

yes, look for a circular sticker at the pump and a poster on the storefront. the list posted above should narrow down your search.

Your comments from yesterday fit very well for today also. Good to finally connect/make some turns with Doremite and as always, Moeghoul was there to get the early bird freshness while I rolled in for the leftovers around brunch time. A welcome 6" to maybe 8" by 2:00 (dumping when I left at 2:30) made things quite enjoyable...looks like maybe tomorrow will be a good day to get some work done.


Thursday

A 20 percent chance of snow showers before 8am. Partly sunny and cold, with a high near 1. Wind chill values as low as -35. Very windy, with a northwest wind 37 to 47 mph, with gusts as high as 70 mph.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Shitty music.

Say, where's your conditions report? Epic today? Blower pow?

Got an early wake up call that the pour had been changed again and had to check on the job. I also don't post everyday, if you need a daily report it is $37 sent PP F&F.



-5` and breezy bob -13` summit, 2 1/7 of new snow yesterday with heavy wind starting around 5, mostly sunny sky. Great day to test that new layer and decide if it is adequate.

Anyone else get those annoying squall alerts on their phone? 3 loud and long alarms with a text and a screen display. No shit I could barely see 30' while I was shoveling.

[biggins]

Squalls were nuts last night in the UV, got white-out-ed twice doing errands around town. We ended with a bonus 1.5" up by us.

Hoping to be back on snow in a couple/few weeks. MRI Thursday will tell me if I'm electing surgery right away or just getting after it in the strengthening department and hoping that does the trick long term. Either way, I'll be getting days in at the hill January/February (do surgery in March probably), so hit me up fools.

In the meantime- if anyone finds themselves at Suicide6 over the next couple of weeks, ask for change at the bar- I will likely be taking up residence there for a bit to hang with friends, snowshoe up and down, and get my stoke up for a return to schussing. Word word.

Didn’t catch what happened? Knee?

Yeah, D, good to finally meet and looking forward to more exploration once things fill in. I will be around Burke and Jay over the holidays but back around in Jan+ when the flakes are flying and work schedule is merciful.

[BigDaddy]

Probably too embarrassed to say, but rumor has it a shoulder injury. Took a bad digger off the stationary exercise bike, I think?

Sympathy beers at the Suicide 6 lounge, J.


And what Mag was driving through my town yesterday morning? Bueller?

[anotherVTskibum]

Friggin' cold this morning in Bethel, after another norincher last night. Resort is showing a three-day total of 8", which is probably about right (I'd have said 6" in my driveway). I wish it would all come down at once, though, because shovelling 2-3" every eight hours is getting kinda old.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Steady wind blowing, 15 min. peak of 29mph and 5` now, Bravo winhold, that Valley House ride looks slow.

Wonder who is in the Bowl today?

[jhyatt]

K1 on wind hold. Riding Snowdon. Fkna cold. Everyone here is from new Jersey. Sun is shining!
What's the best bar here?
