Last Friday I saw forecast for northern Vermont. Was in my car an hour later and got into my usual Stowe car camping spot around 3:00am after the last 100 miles being some pretty gnarly roads but subie held true as always. Took a nap and caught chair around 8:00 as Stowe was already packed. First two warm up laps were lift serviced deep in woods skiers left of the nose untracked and cut over cloud burst zone. Quickly realized the upper mountain would be firing while everyone else was too distracted by the lift service terrain. So headed up to the chin, however from the top of the climbing gully to the summit was 50 mph winds at 0 zero degrees. Pretty brutal after not expected that and sweating the whole climb up. It paid off though I was was probably 3rd person down then hour glass chute that day. Waist deep not even scraped at the chute. Then cut over to hell brook trail and I think only 2 beat me to it. Skied back to the gondola and climbed back to the chin however the wind and cold was even wore this time... my cheeks being the only exposed skin turned white. Some first timers I passed just below the ridge I hope they did ok and I didn't sand bag them. Skied The Northern slopes off the chin and only one person beat me to it, skied back into Stowe and cut left went deeper then angel food to find untracked terrain which put me back in the notch again. Then skied classic balls falls which was still impressively untracked at 2:30pm. Then the Bruce trail to the matterhorn for a beer and a bus ride back to the car in the lot. Spent the last two days touring here and I'm not posting any information about it cuz that be a crime. Also to go to take pictures and video.

Off and on snow showers in the am...Then some kinda bullshit precip that would just freeze on your goggles... Still some chopped up stuff on the sides that was still sorta OK...but God damn was the grooming unreal...Found some bumps that still had loose natural sill on them....

Hey All, I’m back from a fun night session at Blue mountain the true mountain. Earlier today it was raining and I feared Blue would close at 4pm but alas they were open from 9-9. I arrived at the lower lot around 630pm and it was around 45 degrees and there was a bus in my parking spot. Atomic Jeff arrived about ten minutes later and off to the quad. The only other PASR in the house was TheDude4Bides who was working on whirlybirds and level 3 stuff. First run Paradise and it was nice..smooth and fast..second run nightmare dreamweaver my first time on it since it became a boardercross course the root rollers aren’t that bad. Upper Main Street was $$$ so smooth a little soft some cushion for the pushing..lower was decent..lazy mile was run of the night was fast and the right hand turn you could ride up on the wall..I felt more G’s than an Oakland hooker on that curve. A couple more nightmare dreamweavers and a few crazy miles..quick parking lot beer and out...not enough people for any lines and snow was soft and fast and not that choppy...MSY mad Steezy yo!!

I’m ready for some night skiing in a few. I haven’t night skied in 3 weeks.

I just booked my flights for Colorado in April. Flying direct out of philly to Denver Tuesday 4-14 and back Tuesday 4-21...on southwest with early check in $326 could have been cheaper but the times are good with these flights. I didn’t even know that southwest is no longer flying out of Newark oh well parking is a lot cheaper out of Philly.

So much snow that the pics blend in with the white background on this page. Sick.

Watching the kings and queens of Corbett’s livestream on jacksonhole.com. Sick shit.

38° at top. Heavy Fog, No Visibility, maybe 25 people here. Snow is real good buttery surface with some invisible surprises.... In bar drying off... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Semi legit pow day...5-6" at the North Peak Summit...Lapped the quad chair there most of the morning...then over to South Peak until about two..Not crowded at all...

@toast21602

Perkiomen?! IS that close to Malvern?

@Nipples awesome pics. looks like a fun time.

@Benm your lift comment had me dying lol

Can't be much steeper than falls. And probably has better grooming.

Report post Posted 1 hour ago I was standing exactly where the guy in the yellow is standing, but facing directly to his left, where @toast21602 dropped in. It was a sheer vertical cornice that day and I couldn't believe it when he went it! The drop in this picture looks like nothing in comparison. Mad props to @toast21602 for dropping into the abyss that was Corbet's that day!

My eagles chant is singing Hotel California.

I think they had just about everything open....I didn't go into the trees too far cause I don't know the terrain and didn't want to get caught out somewhere.... Snow was super nice...Low crowd/no lift line....Felt great to ride some pow.....

Ha. Jealous. I was there on the 22nd with my brother. He was doing the eagles chant to anyone who wore a cowboys jersey. I was surprised we didn’t get kicked out of the country club of ski slopes

I was at DV at Christmas and stayed at one of those houses, almost all of the people there who aren't related to me are lame af

and no one followed you in?

oooooh I see that @Shadows is there.

Correct.

You've been killing it man. Stoked.

Thanks for the updates Rummy. See you tomorrow. Should be there around 9:30 or 9:45.

Ok.

@toast21602 This is great!!!

Wow

I'll never forget that run and I'm glad you all convinced to to get first tram with you before my flight.

No I don’t want to get injured or lose a ski.

Nice report Nipples. There’s a new invention called paragraphs.

The adventures sound rad!!!

I'll give a report on today's conditions from our barstools later. [emoji481][emoji481] Presently at TLCITW: 37° FOGGY and Drizzly Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

But Lieutenant Dan, he didn't post any pictures.

Theater of the mind

Sweet pictures bro.

That is a baller day and holy shit the moving around you did, you rode the notch like it was a revolving door !

That ski sounds awesome and I bet you'll be super impressed with the way it skis . Shit it's a ski you made but your layup sounds good and bamboo cores are awesome with triax. 22oz in the bindings should be nice and stiff too. A non metal stiff ski is the best of both worlds. A wood press is baller, I know people do it and at least one could do 60psi with your background you could do some cool stuff with a wood press and I think most people use metal so they don't have to do the math lol Super sick, I can't wait to see them when there done.

I don't know why @NMSKI is laughing.

Fun is not the adjective I would have selected.

As I look out of my office window at the rain, I'd say that is a super legit pow day.

SLC up through Ogden is a freight train paradise
