Unfortunately if / when I move out of PA, I'll likely still be posting here as well. PASR is like a group of locals hanging out at their favorite bar that will keep doing so until they can't anymore. I've officially resigned myself to being an internet version of Cliff Clavin. Not to mention there are some pretty cool people here. Looking forward to your Cannon TRs Sally. Best of luck to you in NH.

Elk built another new pond this summer.... Should be filling up nicely.

Ok, I did it! White Mountain Superpass. Cannon, Bretton Woods, and Waterville Valley. Oof, it was more expensive than the Epic Pass.

Ridge you’re really being generous with the likes and Toast is sucking on that like tit for all it’s worth.

Cliff always had interesting stories.

170 feet at the last report.

Happy Labor Day....all "downhill" from here.

After some hemming and hawing about where to get a pass this year, I think I finally decided: Cannon. It's 45 minutes from campus and is the closest White Mountain skiing to East Haverhill, NH, where I work at a boarding school and live in an on-campus apartment. I've been driving the hour back to W. Windsor on weekends lately, which is easy-peasy in good weather and allows me to see friends and stay connected to a community that I really like. I was going to try to find something that would allow me to split my time between VT, and NH, but I hate winter driving and I'm f-ing tired at the end of a teaching week. Plus the cat hates being dragged back and forth between houses. Also, I'll save money not having to heat the W. Windsor place. So my decision now is down to weather I want to get just the Cannon pass or go a couple hundred bucks more for the White Mountain Superpass, which includes Bretton Woods and Waterville Valley. Bretton appeals to me because they evidently have a significant number of intermediate gladed areas. What say you PASRs?

Never go without a pass..you won’t ski as much. But you have a long ski season even two days a week you’ll rack up the days...and you probably get a pretty nice winter and spring break.

Yeah, I was going to try to go without a pass this year, but f-that. Things may be tight but I didn't take a job in the Whites to NOT ski. Blue's pass was the best bang for the skiing buck I've ever seen. Not much night skiing up here, so the potential for hours-on-snow is so much less.

I had a customer who wanted to meet with me today. Fuck that.

Salty did you do any work today???

Well I guess I need to get back up there to check it out.

Did they plant any new trees??

and anytime!

You're welcome!

Thanks for the tag!!!

Thanks, I was actually going to tag @GrilledSteezeSandwich since he tracks the depth of the water in the snow making retention ponds.

Say it with me..."iT's GoOd fOr FilLiNg tHe SnoWmAkInG pOnDs".

My old roommate in Montana would get homegrown weed from his parents and had like a cookie tin filled with it and said help yourself. Wow he said that to the wrong guy lol

Well GSS, I only met a handful of PASRs before I suddenly moved north (though my funnest-ever moments at Blue were hearing "SallyCaaaaaaaaat!" from the chair while I "skied" below! Thank you all for that!) I still check in here because I love the convo and because so many people here come up to VT/NH and know the areas here. And since I know nothing, any advice is most welcome. Since I'll likely be up in NH most of this winter, that means my 1 Br Brownsville condo is largely available during the ski season. It's got backcountry skiing literally out the back door, 30 minutes to Okemo and 45 to Killington. Killer general store with farm-to-table food and an amazing craft beer selection, as well as a riotous Thursday night race league that will challenge the drinking prowess of even the most prolific PASR. Not to mention that weed is legal in VT and my cupboard seems to always be full in that regard. I try to give back, is what I'm saying. 😁

Tomatoes should be wrapping up soon, peppers still going strong, squash starting to turn, more cantaloupes, and pulled the rest of the beets. Been the best growing season we’ve had yet.

This rain reminds me of winter!
