Hardcore nukage, I've been to VT/NH the last 6 weekends and nothing like this. First weekend I have to miss and boom, rip it up.

I thought everyone just steals poles from the rental shop....

Turned out to be pretty good - http://www.paskiandride.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry228113 Thanks for the info

Boardin Nerd didn't have a good time, and there were some icy spots. But the snow was deep in places where the wind had blown it into protected areas Perhaps a bit boney though To be fair to Blue Knob none of the damage occurred on real trails (logging road), and sorry for the shitty pics Ansel Adams I'm not.

Stemboggan is the greatest trail name ever..

Blue Knob has better glades and trees than Hunter/Windham and is 40 mins closer to my house. Hunter/Windham also break my A hole rule, as there are way too many. Plattekill is probably the best mtn in that area but its nearly 5 hours door to door. Bell isn't a bad mtn. but they groom the crap out of everything. Greek is an option. The knob is 3 hours from my house and when they have snow they can have the best tree skiing south of Plattekill.

Plan was knob Sunday to ski some trees but I guess that isn't going to happen. I don't need alot but 6" of base is kind of necessary. Wow I didn't realize they got hit that hard.

Anybody on here live in the Western Part of the state ? Schiff ? Any snow left around town or in the trees ?

DO IT ! When your dead are you going to wish you had 1,000 more bucks or wish you had shredded the gnar with the rich and famous at Aspen.

the knob is the shit, I'm going Sunday post Claysburg dump

Hahah thats not really going to help anyone. My fault for some reason I thought it said 12/08.

Jibshop has next year's for 450, there is TGR thread about a sale at SieraSkis that has them I think for nearly the same price. I saw your verbal sparring on TGR with Rubi so I'm sure you know but they pop up a lot in Gear Swap. You don't have a ton of posts so if you want them let me know and I'll vouch for you. I've had no problems with Gear Swap and have appox. 20 transactions. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=Prophet http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=Prophet

Your Open = $$$$$ I heard 16 today

Your interlogged which sucks, tomorrow you will be fine, it sucks but check out what happened to GMD a few years back. The good thing is this snow is on pretty stable snow pack so things should be total boner city once they take care of a little work

As always the answer is the almighty dollar, non pass holders just don't show up after mid March. Its not even a PA thing, most mountains in N.A. close with plenty of snow on the ground. For example, Alta closes in April while its neighbor stays open until July.

No No your right and I should be the one apologizing. Yesterday was a very bad day in a month of bad days at work. My previous comment to you was childish and unnecessary. Again my apologies. The EHP has no camber out of the box so while your certainly right I would still characterize it as a fun shape. Different strokes for different folks.

Nice man, that's a good size air. Props for sending it. Still I need to know what you ate ? Eggs ? Bacon ? How will I live without this vital info ?

EPIC !! I seriously love it. Though what did you have to eat ?

Go back and read again fuckknob, I don't know what school you go to but go ask for your money back. First post Reverse Reverse and 100-110 ski for hardback ( see that indicates that you should bring two skis one rev-rev and one 100-110 for hardpack) As for your second post re the EHP notice I wrote this - There are a ton of skis out there with fun shapes. (not all are rev-rev but they all have rev camber or sidecut) Its from the same post you quoted

Killy and Mt. Snow aren't anywhere near each other. Snow is in West Dover and there are plenty of cheap places to stay Austrian Haus, Big Bears Lodge, Austin Hill you also have the option of staying in Bennington. Killy is a little more difficult if we are talking dirt cheap, Happy Bear is the cheapest on the access road but there isn't a whole lot more than that. There are mad cheap hotels in Rutland and the best news ever is that Rutland got a Little Cesare's.

Bullshit

Or they do a pay lot, pay and your close don't and wait for the bus. If you don't pay at Flatton your like nine miles away.

Sidecut is only useful on groomers as you aren't carving in real pow, for the most part its a real hindrance as the tails and tips are keeping you from being able to really pivot the ski. Straight logic tells you that most of the weight you put on a ski is directly underfoot and therefore in a powder only ski having the widest part of the ski in the shovels is retarded. You certainly want to get face shots but flotation is super important. The main drawback is that they don't carve at all and can be a little more tricky when it comes to traversing or side stepping but its a pow only ski so who cares. Some manufactures have experimented with multiple sidecuts to retain at least some hard snow skills. The ARG and DPS 138 both have 1mm of sidecut directly underfoot so you can at least make it back to the lift. Camber is the real dealio, a lot of companies are using multiple cambers on non pow skis such as Armada's elf tech and some of the Moment skis. But for pow there is really no reason to have the tips and tails lower than the underfoot. You want the ski to float and avoid the dreaded tip dive. Everyone no matter how well they ski has to some degree change their stance when its super deep or more thick as a result of water content. Skiing from the back seat is tiring as is dangerous as well. With reverse camber you can't sink the tips, I have ARG's and have tried and its just not possible, you can stay in a more aggressive forward stance and really slash and burn. If you ski pow or chop or sun crust on rev-rev and your body is on a conventional pow ski, he stands no chance. They are long and fat but the lack of sidecut means they pivot with great ease so they make a really great tree ski, lots of EC tree skiers still rock spats. Seriously 100% reverse reverse in pow is what shaped skis was to hardpack, once you make the change you'll never go back. There are a ton of skis out there with fun shapes.

The only lifts at Blue worth riding wouldn't run, the 6 pack sits out in the open and the quad runs kind of high. GSS can correct me if I'm wrong but the quad mostly runs in the open and above tree line. The only chance you have is to find a low to the ground fixed grip that is hemmed in by trees. I can't think of any but somebody here might know one. If it was me I might bring a rap setup too as it would just save alot of time. LULZ
