Love the daffy stoke!

[Timberridge]

Daffy Tuesday to spread eagle Wednesday...

[Benny Profane]

Daffys
And back scratchers

That was some dangerous shit
On 200+cm
On a small kicker.

Kids today got it easy in the terrain parks

PS. As for vinyl, many classic albums are being remixed for digital. Mostly low end. Needle groove can’t handle the range

I see that you missed the 90s.

What's the crust report from the higher elevation Greens?

Got a tour planned for Monday at Bolton and my yard's got a serious crust layer.

Monday's a long way off. It could be raining by then. Or sunny. Or snowing. In the meantime put some inserts in your slalom skis for touring bindings so you have all the bases covered.

Hank, woods right now are f’ed...at least near Bolton. Groomers are great, though.

Southern Greens may recover first...the Thursday night/Friday event looks like 6-8" right now but NWS noting that, like previous storms, this one could push further northward delivering even more.

5º and 1-2 mph breeze bob w/9/16" of fresh overnight.
Sweet 3/4" hard crust encapsulating the powder for your off piste pleasures.

lifts not doing so well today. Bravo was stopped 20 minutes ago and the line cleared, now back to loading carvers of the groomed.




Aldos picture had me thinking he could stand in for Rozon of the Quebec Air Force as he had that Canuck look dialed.


7:30s light sleet yesterday turned to mist at the bell with freezing temps top-o-bravo rendering goggles fairly useless, snow was nice and drifted to the rock for a lap



On the 35th or so chair and surprised that only a patrol check track on LL, guess everyone wanted that groomed Middle Earth




My friend made an 11:30 res at Walts for a beer so off to snorth™ the fun way









By 11 the warm nose had pushed in and it was raining lightly to summit, skied damp snow


We went to the brook like the old days





Back at south 2pm to hit some supermank untracked, meh

Thanks for the intel. $39 Monday lift ticket might be the new plan for Bolton.

The way this season is going here in the NEK, it will probably rain here and Massachusetts will get a foot of snow.

^ with all apologies to the north, i do hope we get some love in the cats/taconics. we've got a nasty breakable crust in town this am.

and i do hope the weather picture pivots favorably for all here.

^^ vtfree: nice score! the holiday crowds are good for *something* ... leaving the challenging freshies for the locals.

my last time on the rock

been a while as that was 3 phones ago!
(and i was still on my W9.1FF quad eaters)

Telemark festival weekend (although no races, clinics, etc due to Covid), makes me wonder about a drive down south...

Jay Peak was advertising all lifts will run at 7:30, when I left our home to get on Metro for 8:00 am. First few laps on the Bonnie were fun, groomed with 4-5 inches new snow, but high winds at the top, and moderate freezing rain on your goggles. If it hadn't been so windy, I was thinking of skinning to summit, from the Bonnie, to ski Vermonter. But it would probably have been scoured by the South wind.

I had a couple buddies who skinned up before work yesterday, said with the wind and freezing R up top it was some of the most difficult change-over conditions they'd dealt with in a long time, thank goodness for the secret always-open door to the Tram House. Also saw that they reported 6-8" and knew that didn't pass the smell test, classic Jay over-reporting their snowfall totals again... but hey, I'll take a medium amount of snow with a bullish measurement over no snow any day of the week

[ticketchecker]

yesterdays sugary cheat code snow gave way to carving skis on groomers today, cold to boot!

[From_the_NEK]

I don't think that record sounds any better than streaming music...

for those who like their digital music 24-96 vinyl sourced.
some of the finest rips i've heard.

Noght skiing right now is pretty fun...not sure if you have the bc/night pass, but it was well worth the extra $75 this year.

Nice pics VTF!

Haha so true.

There is something kind of cool about the sound the needle makes. Maybe that's just an old guy thing.

Confirmed this today, lots of searching high and low with Doremite, some soft turns were found in places but unfortunately more were crusty. Lesson I relearned for the 100th time today, when it snows this late in the season go if you can, don't wait until the next day.

Jay over-reporting, no way...bet they had a nice slash pic to help the sell job.

[krp8128]

Damn snow is so iced over I had to go stomp out an area so the dog could poop. For a minute it was comical to watch him try to walk with all 4 legs splayed, then sad
