East MF Coast 19/20.

[Peruvian]

Today was possibly the best day we get this winter.

I can’t tell you how much I hope this statement is wrong.

[buttahflake]

I can’t tell you how much I hope this statement is wrong.

Have you seen the forecast? Stoked to be heading west soon.

[Benny Profane]

And leave gnarly Stratton?

[buttahflake]

Didn’t ski today amirite, bunny? Ohh, you missed a good one.

[slatham]

I can’t tell you how much I hope this statement is wrong.

+1

And to claim reliance on any forecast right now is folly. ITS NOT EVEN FEBRUARY!!! For god sake people, have some faith! And THINK SNOW! That is all....

[buttahflake]

Yeah, good luck with that. Maybe we’ll get a good March, one can hope.

[Benny Profane]

Didn’t ski today amirite, bunny? Ohh, you missed a good one.

Why, no, I didn't. Shame. Missed that blower on the groomers at Stratton. Poor me.

[buckethead]

i dunno benny. i skiied soft groomers on a gloomy looking monday - nothing like the high pressure beauty of last couple of days - but had an absolute blast. the snow was hero fast. closest to skiing with abandon all day all season.

and seriously: some of the best ski days i've hit recently were originally called duds. we all say you can't call the weather more than 3 days out when it looks good. when it looks bad we skip fucking months...MONTHS! :^O that said, a few resords have blown a lot of snow...and there's the place in jersey

Like in Skifishes picture there are a lot of erratics under that tower 5 drop, fun to do with a full house on the single viewing.

Took an afternoon ride up the hill to wander into the brook for a run.
Lift was spinning, might be opening soon

Edges provided quality turns to the bridge

Attachment 313015

Skinned back to the top for exercise and passed a quartz erratic along the way

Attachment 313016

Cat wasn't happy to find a couple of hacks stumbled into our hidden line home. Double railroad tracks stopping every 50-100' wasn't easy to look at. 1/10

Forgot we spotted this interesting lesson on Tuesday. Snowboarder holding his beginner skiing buddy back on the benny hill. First time any of us had seen this.

Attachment 313018


Up to 16` bob from 5` at 5am under sunny skies and no wind as witnessed by the fog bank snowmaking has produced


Attachment 313019

beautiful pics all around...the blurry airs make up for res in gnar
vt free : i still double-take when i see your skis in the pics. even though my bc's are yet to see a run so far this season (all bros and o's yos!).
slidebrook trail looks nice. and steep. cool vantage point

[buttahflake]

Why, no, I didn't. Shame. Missed that blower on the groomers at Stratton. Poor me.

Packed powder!

[FussyDutchman]

Nice to see everybody out enjoying the vitamin D and great conditions, well except for...ahhh, not worth the time to type the miserable bastards name. Enjoy the sunshine tomorrow if you can, might be the last time we see it for a while, winter ain't dead yet.

[Benny Profane]

Packed powder!

Again with that word. Powder. Good lord. You must do a lot of drugs.

[Vt-Freeheel]

Shame indeed Eeyore, if Stratton was as empty as the bush looked today it must have been a blast to zoom teh groom, beautiful fuck'n day out.
Mall walk and Cinnabon, ARP discount on the roll and coffee, pick up a paper copy of the Times to flip through?

Bucket, the Cat says "get those BC's on snow!", my go to ski for woodsey turning in and out of the resort especially now that it's low tide'ish. They are so easy to steer with minimal input. On the other hand, could use some Butta Love on the Winterstieger, better get the cookie sheets out.

Speaking of the Cat, it dragged me out to a NE facing zone today that was loads of fun. Lazy laps and schwack attack. 2200' of gain total.










Todays schist erratic, look hard for the cat face



The Cat noticed this nest along the track and said "I hope they had a successful fledge "




Next weeks weather doesn't look terrible, current forecast shows mixed with no real snow loss. Locked up base that will be hoping for a refresh asap. Currently liking this seasons, low but dense snowfall, as it has been fun to ski with minimal numbers of other skiers partaking. Penciled in next week for some outside work.

[Benny Profane]

Well, I certainly hope there's no snow loss. When you ain't got nothin', you got everything to lose. Low expectations again, I see. Glass half full. How nice.

I was up there last week. What, it's any better now? I just packed up for a trip to real mountains with real snow. Oh, wait, I mean, packed powder.

.

they were my went- to's, the proto lhasa's and lhasa pows have gotten all the runs until i did half a day on the wrens monday where the edges were enough.
yea gonna try to get out 1 day next mid-week,,,yes, crowds have kept limited snow unbothered. mlk monday was a surprise country club day up the way from you.
almost made it back up monday but for poor planning, missed a good one!


benny : post some sick out west pics.
the rest of us will suffer in here, the godawful northeast thread, and we'll miss your presence.


ok i lied, but i tried.

[jackstraw]

Can we get some fucking snow in fucking NH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been very very patient, but I'm starting to lose my mind!

In other news, it's going to snow a lot the next 3 months.

And all youz snowboarders check out the Chill foundation with DMQ Pico take over day on 3/10.

[idahospud]

Again with that word. Powder. Good lord. You must do a lot of drugs.

Do you take drugs, Benny?

[Benny Profane]

Of course. Who doesn't?

[idahospud]

Good! Then what's the problem?

[buckethead]

Good! Then what's the problem?

not all drugs are created equal.

[Benny Profane]

Nuthin'. What's your problem?

[Self Jupiter]

Good! Then what's the problem?

I don’t know!

[Benny Profane]

THE problem is no snow. Or, no packed powder, if you must.

[BigDaddy]

THE problem is no snow. Or, no packed powder, if you must.

Soooooooooo.... there's a dozen different people who are posting about fun days out on whatever hill, and you're saying how it all sucks*

So Bunny










*Maybe it's you.

(but bunny you do get the most attention 'round here - thaf's on everyone else)

[t-the-east]

Another fun, beautiful, soft snow day on the hill! And views for miles and miles.



No action shots, my wife is too damn fast! But it’s been a few days of perfect “packed powder”. Turns you can trust, groomers you can absolutely rail on. Legs are gettin stronger and the knee is feeling solid. Good times

Sure beats mall walking.
