East Coast Roll Call V---> SO MUCH better then all the other roll calls

[VTColdSmoke]

Thanks Rog, going to try and make plans for a surf trip soon... my buddies made the Smuggs brochure this year, pretty funny! Shots from big Sunday last Feb :drool:



Finally getting some powsurfers sent my way soon, stoked!!

[icelanticskier]

sweet!^^^^^lemmeno when yer coming coast way. powsurfers ftw!

bindings are so over-rated.

in other news, with burke getting jay'd, looks like they may open a coupla weeks earlier and stay open a couple weeks later. 100+ grand into snowmaking improvements should help a bit.

A few updates for the November 10 Eastern Snow & Avalanche Workshop:

1. Location will be the John H Fuller Elementary School, just around the corner (literally) from last year's venue in North Conway, to be followed by vendor displays and socializing at IME (just like last year).

2. Registration is now available at: http://www.esaw.org/registration/

3. One of the presenters will be Karl Birkeland: http://www.montana.edu/wwwes/facstaff/birkeland.htm

4. The official update email to the mailing lists is copied below.

Also, unrelated to ESAW, but related to eastern avalanches, registrations are starting to come in for my own avy course (and I've finally resolved some annoying NSP red tape), so if potentially interested:

Subject: Eastern Snow and Avalanche Workshop - (ESAW) November 10, 2012 Registration

ESAW'ers, The age old truth continues today, “when an avalanche happens don’t be there”. How do we do that?- Never rest in the pursuit to know more about the avalanche enigma and phenomenon. As every snowflake is different so is each snowpack situation on any given day in any given winter. When we think we’ve got snow figured out we’re surprised again. Avalanche professionals around the globe acknowledge no one knows it all, we must continue to learn, discuss and share avalanche knowledge to enjoy a long life in the mountains. There are no experts, we are all students. In this vein I am happy to announce ESAW 2012.

The Eastern Snow and Avalanche Workshop in North Conway, NH is a place to bring together avalanche-minded individuals to share their enthusiasm for snow and discuss topics related to the winter in cold steep climates. We hope this will continue to be an annual gathering of avalanche professionals, educators, guides and backcountry skiing and climbing enthusiasts in the Northeast. It may be for personal interest, to fulfill continuing education and professional development needs, or the impending excitement for the upcoming winter.

Last year we launched the first ESAW which was grassroots and very successful. I hope, even with some modest growth this year, that we continue the same feel that we had last November, intimate, interactive, and fun. In order to allow more participants we are going to move a few doors down to the John Fuller Elementary School Auditorium, while keeping the vendor and social setting with our friends at International Mountain Equipment (IME). Registration and Workshop updates will all occur online at www.esaw.org so follow this link to sign up today. (You can continue to contact us at esawavalanche@gmail.com.) Your registration fee includes all the talks, several raffles throughout the day, coffee, donuts/fruit and social at IME with hops and barley. Any remaining funds will go to The White Mountain Avalanche Education Fund set up to educate kids of the northeast about avalanches. For more information follow the proceeding link to the Mount Washington Avalanche Center website. http://www.mountwashingtonavalanchec...ducation-fund/

We look forward to seeing all of you at ESAW 2012 in North Conway NH on November 10th!

I haven't gotten that far ahead yet with my schedule... but I REALLY want to attend this. It sounds so good. What a great event they've got going.

I should just register now, and figure out how to make it fit later...

Hardest bouldering problem in the Adirondacks is totally no big deal.

I think you just unravelled the Gordian Knot. Doesn't that mean you're going to be King of Asia?

i just fell out of my chair.

[lynchdogger]

Hahaha. That's how I've always felt about bouldering or even hard sport climbs (rehearsing the same moves over and over and over again until you can do them). No offense but kinda like masterbation, really! Much prefer free climbing or soloing multi-pitch routes high in the alpine. To each their own. Impressive moves for the gymnast climber and that's certainly not me! No twinkle toes here!

[PhishDaly]

The "graduate pass" to burke with the 50 dollar addition for burke blows my mind. I am going to have to see if a 20 credit CAD cerfitifacte from the community college will work for this deal. Getting frosty tonight in central NH

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Frost warnings for southern Vermont, ADKs, etc. tonite. Volunteer day at Magic on Saturday...I'm starting to feel it.

[philth]

Yup^^^cold here right now. Bummer, we have a wedding otherwise we would be at Magic. Have fun.

Hahaha. How could you fail at it? What I meant was it ain't the same as the real thing!

And you don't get old unless you choose to!
