He doesn’t care which ones. he’s attempting to make some hypocritical ethical statement about state sponsored glading, whilst he skis in a town/school sponsored glading environment, something he’s been paid to do.

Well if that is his intention I would argue that he should at the least be able to specify what area he is talking about.

Please don't attempt to bring reason to a rock fight. Thank you.

and yes. BMOM. so much yes. was going to go this wkend, but not enough base yet. wait till da woodz arrrr in, then go Go GO.

Woods were in as far as I was concerned. As they say marry your boots but date your skis! There all rock skis eventually! Damn those Beavers get after those woods! Great little hill. Let me know when heading this way. I'll be hitting up the place on Fridays for $25. It rocks.

I suck at skiing. I've never claimed to be good at it. Mediocre. I love it though. The little ECRC inner circle is something to behold. I'm here for pics and conditions.

None. But some friends went and provided me with a report.

I heard low tide, high traffic. Good early. One line was down climbed. Too steep and boney. Braintree.

As for my ability..who cares. Skis have always been a tool to take me to the places I wanted to go. The fact that deep snow is magic is pure bonus, I would still be in the BC if I never learned....having less fun, but still enjoying the Green Mtns hidden, underwhelming treasures. My 6 seasons resort skiing was a requirement. I had fun there but I ditched the vert whore crowd pretty early on. Seriously, I just don't understand how someone could ski the same trails, same resort(s) for a lifetime, or even a decade. I went from having a weird reverence for the aging resort guys still banging away at the wheel going on 40-50 years, to just feeling really sorry for them and being sad to see them at the lift and listen to the same garbage about how good their run was when the reality is anything at the resort on all but the most primo days is nothing to brag about in Vermont.

Still I feel like I make a nice turn or two worth remembrance at the tail gait with a beer and a joint. Looking forward to some long tours soon....

Up high is dreamy, down low is sketchy.


My skis are approx. 1/2 lb lighter due to the ptex I left on all the rocks.

Almost texted you this morning to see if you were going out today but decided to beat my bases up at Smuggs instead. 12:30-3:30 day and place was a ghost town. Lots of soft snow but also lots of base crunching exposure. Very liberal trail opening policies. The rumors of ON3P making strong bases appears to be holding true.

Hmmm, what’s the term when you dislike ski areas but post photos of their side country? asking for a friend.

Snowboarder with shin and tibia fracture. Low tide, kids.

Back-country skiers/riders....please be careful. While the snow at higher elevations may seem epic (it’s probably not), near the bottom of that run we just don’t have much base.... hidden obstacles can be season-ending.

We pulled a snowboarder out of the woods yesterday with a fractured tibia. A hidden rock caused the fall....another hidden rock took out the shin bone.

Thanks to Mt Mansfield Ski Patrol and Cambridge Fire/rescue for the assist.

Sorry to read this, heard the sirens as I was headed out but never saw where they went. Unfortunate but inevitable based on the steady stream of people I've seen going out there in recent weeks. I will stick to my 40"+ rule, which has been reinforced by several experiences/minor incidents over the last week while we were poking around in some less than ready areas below 2,750ft +/-...if only we had more elevation to play in above tha. As Laps, Greenstate and others have mentioned, up high is fabulous.

Doremite, let me know if you want to get out next weekend. Peruvian and I battled the thwack at Bolton Sunday, lots of fresh but not enough yet. Hopefully next weekend's storm brings a little refresh.

I love Mansfield and Smuggler's Notch, the feature, not the resort. Best lines in the state, easily. Anyone fan boys SMR is a dumb fuck. Smuggs seems cool. They let us ride the double up to the pond for free when we came through late that afternoon. Best resort in the state, probably.
That was such a good day. 100" at the stake, last year.

Hmmmm! Still thinking, what’s the term?

[Vt-Freeheel]

Beautiful if cold day this Monday was. Lack of wind resulted in slightly more insulation than I needed, should have stuck with what I laid out originally. As always it is fun for me to get out in the forest even if it is resort sidecountry after a holiday weekend.



Skied really well as there was a base under the 10"+- of settled snow. Ventured 10` to the right where there was little to no base and it was the suck, wouldn't recommend it



Cat was stoked and said "lets do that one more time"



Sure was soft



Pleasant time Saturday sharing a pie and excellent ipa's in Brandon.

Well. Keep at it and don't hurt yourself.
^Looks sweet! Nice pics. Bone zone off the well-tweezed avenues.

Most likely Smuggs figured it was easier to get some Jerry’s off their hill and into Stowe rather than say no.

So.....how'd ya break your neck again Jerry?
They sell a single ride, but the ticket sales folks had left for the day. I love the single ride tours. Sometimes it takes some finaggling. Nothing like some easy verts at the end of an epic. You can swing it on the tram as well, but wear street cloths to buy your single tram ride. Pro tip.

Hit a tree biking, and technically it was neck and back, how is this relevant to skiing?

Geez Jerry...maybe you should stick to the greens and blues.

[Boreas]

I see where you’re going.. yeah broke the transverse process C5-T2 and l1-2(later diagnosis). However, unlike needing a lift to get to the top of a mountain after an “epic day” I walked and rode my ass out, drove home, washed the blood off my face, and drove to the ER.
