Dumping snow big time right now. All the flatlander kooks, on their just purchased touring kits are gonna drive up here. No matter how much we don’t want them up here, so much entitlement, so fucking much.

We sold six pairs of Shifts last week, to people that look like they have trouble buckling their boots. Fat guys in their 50’s, who have never skinned a lap ever. Gonna be carnage, just has to be, and the hospitals around here don’t need that shit. Shop closed yesterday

is the shop still open?

[buttahflake]

Done for the year, hoping to collect unemployment. Losing out on at least a month of work, that’s if the State Parks open on schedule. My return date to the local park is 4/26

[ex-powderbroker]

good luck with unemployment, i dont see why they wouldn't give you the dough.

At least 75% of the klowns I have seen the last week had minimal to no skills and the other 25% was a bell curve of the typical Mad River pre season crowd. Also the bush has few rules, watch out for people, machinery working, trail marked closed = closed and no furry friends. As usual tons of dogs running around.

Doubt those Shifts would have sold but for the resorts closing early. Maybe local ski shops should thank the Chinese.

Good news, year old used 2-3 times touring gear will be on the market cheap next year. Bad news, 75% will be daywreakers, and 20% will be from people who over paid and want a return on their “investment.” Other news, a bunch of people just bought gear, many will now be looking for places to ski next year, known spots will be busy.

NH Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division and Operation Game Thief

7 Hour Ordeal Ends with
Injured Hiker Rescued Off Mt. Washington with the help of the Cog Railway
Thompson & Meserve’s Purchase – Sunday at approximately 4:00 p.m., Fish and Game Conservation Officers were notified of an injured hiker alongside the Cog Railway on the west side of Mt. Washington, approximately 2 miles up from the Cog Railway Base Station.
The initial call came in via 911 reporting that a 35-year-old female had fallen while descending along the railroad tracks and suffered unknown injuries. The hiker identified as, Ashley Furness, 35, of Bartlett, NH had been hiking with another companion when the accident occurred. Furness and her companion had been descending alongside the railway tracks when she slipped and fell approximately 200 feet towards Burt Ravine, striking several rocks. It was these rocks that ultimately saved her from plunging into the raavine, a fall that would have likely proved fatal. Her companion was able to descend to her position, place a call for help and keep her warm with a space blanket until rescuers arrived.

A rescue effort was initiated and personnel from Twin Mountain Fire & EMS along with several Conservation Officers responded to the call. Twin Mountain utilized their tracked rescue all-terrain vehicle (ATV) to maneuver up along the tracks and made it as far as Jacobs Ladder. Conservation Officers utilizing snowmobiles to get as close as they could to the victim, but due to the lack of snow and bare spots, were not able to get very far before they had to stop and hike the rest of the way in.

The rescue crew arrived at the patient at approximately 7:40 p.m. After an initial assessment conducted by a Conservation Officer EMT, it was determined that Furness had suffered severe injuries and would not be able to walk.
Due to the steep, icy terrain, remote location, and overall conditions, Fish & Game contacted the Cog Railway for the possibility of utilizing one of their trains to expedite the extraction of the patient. Cog Railway personnel agreed to help and called in employees to get a train ready.

In the meantime, a rescue belay was set up with ropes, a litter and other essential gear that was utilized to safely get Furness from the precarious position on the side of the ravine up to the tracks.

Rescuers were able to hoist her up to a location next to the train tracks. The train departed from
the base at approximately 9:30 p.m. and arrived at the patient at 10:15 p.m.
Furness was placed in the train and relayed down the tracks to the awaiting ambulance at the Base
Station arriving at approximately 11:00 PM. From there she was transported by the Twin Mountain ambulance to Littleton Regional Hospital for treatment of her injuries.

I can’t thank Wayne Presby and his Cog Railway staff enough for assisting in this life saving rescue,” said Fish & Game Region One Lieutenant Mark Ober. “Without the use of the train, we were looking at a potentially all night rescue scenario which would have included calling in several dozen additional rescuers and technical rope teams just to get the injured hiker down the mountain safely. The temperature was in the teens and the wind was starting to blow which made it feel even colder. “I don’t like utilizing private businesses, if I don’t have to, but this was an instance where it can’t be overstated that time was of the essence and I felt like the best option was to call the Cog and see if they could help. As they have always done in the past, they did not disappoint and were there when we needed them.”

It blows my mind how many people I see skinning resorts, and how many ONLY skin resorts.

Ski Monster here in Boston seems to have gone from a solid selection of lightweight touring gear in the 18/19 season to all beefy, 4-buckle-with-dynafit-inserts, shifts, heavy touring equipment for this season (RIP), I'm guessing because their clientele are all resort skiers, whether they ride the lifts or not.

What kind of low life steals Kinco gloves? Inside or former employees smash and grab with outside connections to sell. No way these are getting sold in VT in a manner the person/s could see an easy cash out.

Unfortunately like true, could be a grab and hold until fall out west.



Speaking of Shifts, here's a gem of a post in a FB thread about Shifts coming unlocked.

It’s astounding how people can’t get this through their head. Stay home and this shit will get better sooner. Drives me fucking nuts.


Edit: puking snow here, they’re calling for 1-3” but it’s already piling up.
