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

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Hey Magicians - gonna be there Feb 11-12 to watch my freshman college kid club race. Where’s a good place to stay? (Not asking for a hookup as Mrs.Jam will be w me).

watching your kid run doesn’t take much time so if anyones around that weekend, would be great to make some turns w someone who knows the place

Upper Pass Lodge is first choice. 2nd Choice would be Blue Gentian. 3rd choice would be Snowden. After that, maybe Rowell's Inn but I know they're trying to sell the place - I doubt it will sell fast (unfortunately).

I'm sure I'll be around that weekend unless I get a wild hair and fly to SLC.

MNIAW - thanks. I’ll book whichever of those is available. Funny story, if I got your handle correct from epic years ago I think I bought a pair of Scott punishers off you. Still have em but getting long in the tooth.

Killington was pretty decent today, and not too busy. Fingers crossed these storms materialize.

Hey VT-free… I’m at Lawson’s!

Furano resort in the background, but we’re going for a tour again.

That's pretty funny, I popped in for some cans late afternoon so missed you. Keep on snorkeling!


Got a tip about some deeper base north of 89 I hadn't been to in years

Surprised myself stepping out, seem to have gotten used to skiing 3-5/6 over a thin frozen base



Skiing is still fun


Surreal day in the forest, not a trace of wind at all. The trees were coated with beautiful frost feathers that showered off when the branch was tapped with a pole.






Cat was happy!


25º and calm with a light misting of snow falling, 5 9/16" overnight. Get Some!

Ha! Yup, that was me.

Me on those Punishers at Jackson many moons ago

Jay was decent this weekend with a bit of fresh snow. I poked around the woods a little on Saturday, they've filled in nicely but it's still branchy out there, with some sharks lurking as well. the storm's today and later in the week should help make for some excellent tree skiing. they ran the IFSA junior comp on liftline both Sat. and Sun. which was cool to watch from the chair. Sunday the groomers were firing first thing, but got kinda schralped after a while. Overall I was impressed with the amount of natural terrain they've opened up, should be solid as we keep this train rollin. Skiing is fun.

Who got out there? I'm sticking to the neighborhood as Magic is booked for a private today... lucky sumbisches who picked 1/23 for their takeover.

I decided not to stay at Cannon for a three day weekend and apparently I missed a good day. Storm over performed with like 8" of peter north goodness.

We tapped out at 6" bob, evening weather reports of more to the south.

Snow quality was very good, as dense as you could want without being wet, skied really well. 8/10

Bopped around bush south with Surface Whore for a while then hiked over for a rock run. Only a half dozen tracks and they left me the right edge upper and left on the lower run.






Went back for another round and although more tracked it wasn't too bad



This on the other hand looked bad, most locals know when to avoid this.

Good times are over as the lift opens tomorrow and it will be dirt bottom bumps before long. Really wish they would take the lift out.






More snow coming, happy times

I skied at Stratton today and it was pretty awesome. Not untracked but soft snow everywhere and it snowed hard all day.

Got back to Magic at around 4:00 and got the snowblower working on the 12" we scored.

Pow day tomorrow at Magic but I'll be packing for my trip to the Chic Chocs most of the day before going to Burly to couch surf with Peruvian and Mrs. P. I strongly suspect the West Side will be completely in play tomorrow so for those that can, git some!

You guys have a great time at the mines. Sure you have been reading the avy report so know what to expect

I know I keep thinking this is going to be the storm that turns it around for them and then nope

[ex-powderbroker]

idk, seems like they should get some good snow this week.

[geomorph]

Pats Peak had more than a foot of dense snow that I shredded with my kids after work today. Skinny kid skis don't have much float but they still had fun (although I probably had more fun on the big sticks)

[2nd mate]

Finally made it to BMOM Sunday. With the kiddos lapping the chairs (and a few hours from violence) the wife and I took off to do our own thing uphill.


Bet today was fantastic up there. I plan to be there again this weekend and maybe hit saddleback as well.

Scottski and I pre-celebrated his birthday by pillaging in the Catskills.

Sunday he came my way and laid down his cash to ski my mountain.



Have to admit bucket's pics got my attention. Still we were skeptical about Ridge Run. Turns out it was awesome.





After we had beers, went out to dinner and passed out early.

This morning we had coffee and bacon for breakfast, and then headed to his home hill, Hunter Mountain, it was my turn to pay.

I started following him first thing...



...and it continued all day...





Great fucking day. Seemed like most of a foot up top.

Always love some Scottski pictures. Met him at the Eurobbi last year, great guy.

2nd mate glad you and the family were able to get out to enjoy Black Mountain of Maine. When the snow fills the woods in, it is a special place. Nice kids through second grade ski free. Lots of free sponsored Wednesday night skiing plus $15 Thursday and $25 Friday tickets make it affordable if you can get away end week. The uphill is my personal baby.

[ex-powderbroker]

ooof i saw some Massif du Sud viddy... the deepness.

[buckethead]

not soup



my 2nd choice for so. VT did not disappoint
expectations exceeded over and over.
by late in day constant snow and white-out gusts had filled in
much of the day's early tracks.

The Utica Club game just went up several notches!

Have a great trip! I sure have.

[singlecross]

Some pretty good terrain at Tokachidake…




And a good crew to share it with.


Glad to see some snow and tracks back home for you all.

We’re getting too much good skiing to stop and take any action shots mid-lap anymore.

[Harvey44]

Great stuff! Go bucket!

[Vt-Freeheel]

NY Mags getting after it! Looks like winter[finally]


27º and very windy this morning bob, first wind since Saturday. Nothing overnight but a very light flurry started around 7:45.
