Eastcoast Roll Call TwoTwo/TwoThree A Slow Start to a Big Finish

[cat in january]

Yeah that’s actually the idea you buy the ticket, but not expecting many to show. The mountain is closed that day and only uphill is available. This arose from the mountain manager saying a lot of people don’t pay. Wanted to show it was valued by the community

Edit for tunes

Any Mags traveling from around Saratoga Springs, NY? My daughter found the pair of Ripsticks she wants - skis are there, she's in Boston, we'll be in NW VT this weekend. Any mags traveling can do a pickup for us? We'll buy the beer.

Tokachidake zone from the skintrack parking area…

Beautiful day for a trip through the forest…

9 days of touring on Hokkaido and everything went smooth. Fly home tomorrow. Stoked…

Maine must know you’re coming back because we just got a mean crust. It had been so nice this week

[Vt-Freeheel]

27º bob w/light breeze and a current dry sky. 3 3/4' of rained on snow in the drive. 35º mid mountain.

edit; 8:30 update, almost 4" now with a fresh rain crust acquired since 5:45am, currently flaking big wet flakes.

Farmed some scraps of untracked entering and exiting L Birdland yesterday. Was nice out with a very light midweek crowd of mostly intermediate skiers, like only one track on Mall at 11 o'clock?








Four side by each



Rock bound for some recon. There was a rock the size of a softball on the road leading down to the lift, lol.

Looks a little firm




Note to self, don't be fooled today.




Waiting for my friend in red. The "Jaws" caught a double double eject




You cats need guns? I bet these guys have guns!







Something went down on OTL, noticed several large blood stains on my walk over



Get it today before it locks up overnight!

Black Mountain of Maine is rewriting their uphill policies and I am asking folks to buy an uphill ticket for Tuesday January 31 to show support for uphilling at the mountain. Cost is $17 including a $2 service fee. If any of you could toss in it would be greatly appreciated. In addition to our great glades we have backcountry trails and a glade network developed by gba that extends over to Rumford Whitecap and back.

Thanks everyone. I don’t have access to the numbers, but think we are far exceeding my original hope of twenty

^^ nice! visited the site/trailmap last night. big mtn heavily weighted towards steep, expert terrain. a sort of mount bohemia of the east.
may you stay above the crust!

Got out for day 1 at Cannon yesterday. I found some leftover fresh turns, but per usual at Cannon, I had to dig deep and had a great day...but wow...

What a lift shitshow! Zoomer chair appears to be down for the season. Gearbox is toast and they're scouring the world looking for parts. The Cannonball chair was down and the Tram was having "battery charging issues" so it was super slow to load and get moving...every box. But hey, they've got that fancy RFID passes now...just can't get anyone up the hill.

And thwacky! Wtf. This is what Avalanche looked like...they spent money in the wrong places this year.

Apparently the Bottlewoman and I are pro level at ice storm chasing in Maine. What was groomed was actually pretty damn nice this morning. This hill continues to impress!!!

I've been watching the web cams and Sugarbush has had a constant strong flurry all day long, more so than Killington and Stratton. The base is certainly in better shape than a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully it is not rock hard tomorrow.

Flurry activity. The new three foot storm.

Yer killing me, I could be there in like 45 minutes. I'd be dropping Sabres logos on that thing though, cuz Upstates...

Plan A today was to ski for a bit over an hour and then work on B-net.

We went to plan B, which was just to work on B-net, after things got a bit crunchy. I tried the ungroomed portion of the trail on the first lap dropping off rolls of net, and it was a bit terrifying.

Ktown actually skiied pretty darn well. Rode up the chair with a couple dudes early in the morning that said of the groomed was no Bueno with crust. I was surprised to enjoy how well it skiied. Renegades were the call. Rocker, width, and, I suspect, nose taper made all the difference.

I was on Bent Chet 120s at the River. They made the ungroomed skiable, but I couldn't find a balance point that let me make consistent turns without feeling like I was fighting the crust. Since I had work to do, I didn't go looking to see if maybe a different aspect or elevation (or maybe trees) would ski a little better.
