I'll be out earlier in the year and around then too. Check with Powder about James Peak cat rides, its like 5 bucks a ride and it is more than worth it. It used to be a rope you would hold on to, now they let you ride in the cab. Powder countries are awesome too but don't miss the bus, its a god damn long walk.

You don't have to snuggle with someone but it will be a better time if we are all in the same relative area, it makes general boozing and planning easier.

i'm down for CO., and I live in reading so I could bring as much Unique Splits as anyone can possibly eat.

There are far far longer in the alps, there not named trails but rather pretty well known routes. The Haute route for example takes about 7 days on skis though it isn't all downhill. I can't imagine what 13 or 20 miles would feel like let alone 80.

Let me know

They have to give some to the park service....640 is kinda pricey for Elk.

Most important thing to remember if you are going to the big C. If you have higher level U.S. government security or any arrests you aren't getting in without the permit which takes 6 months at the very least to figure out. Also its arrests, not convictions, so if you got picked up six years back for drunk and disorderly and they didn't charge you after a stay in the drunk tank you still aren't getting in. Its totally dick but I've seen alot of people flip out or not get to take vacations because they didn't know what the deal was. If your going to go to Whistler check out the island with all the Whale watching, I can't remember the name but it could be cool.

Agreed, go bigger like 100 underfoot and she will have to do alot less work when its deep. This as I'm sure you know is key to keeping a happy relationship. If you got the $$$ go with a DP or the older DB's on TGR, their full carbon so their super light weight. If not go with a nice big fatty in the 160's, you guys look active so I bet she would have the leg strength to push them. Look at the 165 ARV, its in the 90's so it might get the job done and you can pick them up super cheap.

Mt. Washington got 4" of snow last night

Nice dood only spent a couple of days at the beach a couple of years back but that has to be one of the best vibes anywhere.

Brett is fuckin nuts (in a good way) and that thread was great but not even in the same class as this one, Def Jef or the reno whore were good too but this is just at a whole nother level. Little bitch is going to get his for sure.

No need for all that shit mags just go and take care of it lets other would be assholes know the deal. In four years I have never been ripped off.

Right, so if I have to drive six hours to Snow why not add two and get some decent snow and a real mountain. Do they have some fun trails and a sick park ? Sure, but there is better skiing to be had...Hell even S. VT. has a better mountain in Magic. Thats not to say I wouldn't go if my friends were going or in the early season but I don't really care how many more guns they put in.

Unless they find a way to give that mountain some more vert, no thanks

I can't answer alot of your questions as I was only there once my cousin was there for four and 1/2 years. Tussey is flat, small and somewhat boring. They have a park but only in the concept, I seem to remember they would just take a couple of rusty rails and line them up. College has a rail jam every year and Tussey has some serious talent will all the people in the area. Weather wise state college gets more snow than alot of other places in PA but it ain't Vermont. Season is mid december to mid march. If you can go to Blue Knob they have a real mountain and when it snows there glades are pretty good for PA.

Uhh tele only good for the worst part of the BC, going up. I used to ride park all the time to and then you get to some real mountains with real snow and it just doesn't seem as fun. The adventure aspect of the BC is just so much better. I don't know a ton of stuff about splits as I don't really snowboard but I know a bunch of guys who do. Take a look at Prior stuff. Sometimes they have demo splitboards for sale on their site, as well as blems normally they go on sale around October. Though the split kit isn't a bad idea, I heard it is hard to do though and if your in icy conditions people have been known to have problems getting them back together. Are you going soft for pow pow or hard for everything else ? Crampon wise the Grivel G10W will work with all boots including the softs, I know its CO and crampons may seem unnecessary but trust me you will want them eventually. Skin wise your good the Tractors are supposed to be the best. Stay away from the ones Burton made they peel back. Beacon wise watch out if you buy and S1 and use your phone alot, the phone will cause ghost signals and if you have a Iphone it can really screw with the beacon. If you want a beacon that is relatively

Sick Bird ! That's a gnarly cliff to stomp the landing the maybe ten times I've hit one that big I just sort of crash/back slap the LZ serious props to the rider.

That's up to you and how hard you want to push it. I sleep in a lean-to or we tented one year. If you have a nice sleeping bag or are drunk you won't be cold unless all hell breaks loose which happens from time to time up there. Hike from Pinks to Hermit lake (where you sleep) is 2.9 miles straight up it can be rough with alot of weight on your back but anyone who isn't in a wheel chair should be able to do it. I would say on average it takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the weight your carrying. From Hermit lake to the Hilmans area is 5 mins with maybe a 20-30 boot pack up hilmans or dodge's. From Hermit lake to the bowl is 1 mile and maybe 20-30 mins at most. Same dealio with the boot pack. Skiing to work ratio is much lower than riding a chair but that isn't what BC skiing is all about. Tucks should be done at least once by any semi-hardcore EC skier the vibe on the deck alone after sking is worth the trip and if you get a good lean-to it can get somewhat rowdy. The terrain is nearly unmatched on the EC and should provide plenty of excitment. Skiing wise I've always had a pretty good time though its good to go with low expectations, on a good day maybe I would do 5 or 6 runs but I'm lazy so who knows. BC skiing is all about the experiance and the fact that you saw a mountain and went and skied it, if you want alot of runs or defined conditions I would ride the lift. Word of warning it can get pretty sketchy up there if you hit some real nasty weather........

I didn't know they were so popular, with the super light and reliable MSR and Snow Peak jobs I don't know if I would go with it alone. We tried to light ours during the night when it was super cold and it needed some help from the regular stove. Still cool as shit to have a stove made out of soda cans.

Good..... now that I have your attention I present for your entertainment a EC BC TR Dates: April 4 -6 Location: ADK High Peaks Characters: Lenni-Lenape Powder Clowns Music: (Seriously listen to this it makes the TR better) Setup: Every year the high peaks region calls to me to come attempt to claim its gnar. Unfortunately, the ADK

Nice pics and it is mad cool you got to ski the slides

Nice work as always

I will be up there that weekend and maybe the next too, I broke my hand last weekend so I may be a little slow on the bootpack but our lean-to will have plenty of Sly Fox so stop by and grab a beer.
