The 183 Ice Atlantic Shaman, Vokyl Kuro and the BD Megawatt check out the BD boots too those things give me a boner.

Agreed....though even in the ADK and Whites avy danger is significantly lower in general than West Tuxs is probably the large exception to that rule.

I would argue it does work in surfing as out of towners and newbs don't really catch anything. As to starting shit off the top of my head I would say the Bode thread, the gun comment thread, the thread we are currently in, the Sno/Blue closing threads honestly though I meant the starting shit in a light hearted manner. Imagine how boring this place would be if we all got along the whole time and being passionate about things you love is a good thing.

Hate works pretty well in surfing doesn't it? .........and this whole thing is nothing compared to surfing and you do start shit all the time.

Word is snow is pretty good as there has been consistent dumps over the last few days, there is a layer of rain crust underneath that caused some problems before last two nights big dump. Hopefully that will be burried and no longer an issue. Stowe is 82 per day though you can get multiday tickets and save a little money. Stay away from benchwoods as that is played out, ask some locals about the chin call, the pipeline and goat chute call, spruce, kitchen wall, notch, hellbrook, taft and then keep the directions a secret.

Idaho rocks and Schweitzer is definitely the best enjoy.

No my name is Steve and I think I rode with you tuesday night old beater Ar5's green pants black jacket.....I'm the old head

Nice!

In the east you have to leave the trail map to get the pow alot of the time but I certainly agree with what you saying. I love VT but I would move back west in a second if it was totally up to me. Its just that I can get to Jay in 24 hours if I know it is going to snow whereas the fact that it is going to snow in UT tommorow doesn't really help me as all the prep takes some time. So you add pow days you would never have because you can go last last minute.

Stowe but Magic is good isn't it? Red line can be mad cool

Even Bear is open wtf?

He's not on PASR....he is my boy and so chill his riding go some much better in the last two weeks its amazing

Hahah little shit heads on NS know nothing about VT, NH or Maine. Snow, terrain, vibe all of it is far far better than PA its not the west in some terms but it can challenge you just as much. You want Pow, cliffs, steeps, pillows, BC, booters, rails, pipe it is all there and at a level that is some what comprable to the West. Is it as easy to find and in the same abundance ? No but f*ckers who skip the NE so they can go west once or twice a year are missing alot and that fine because then there is more for me. BTW Go tell sam or soul the last time you rode shit like this in PA - it amazes me that skiers from PA can be so closed minded

Noaa is very consistent as far as weather is concerned and they show a clusterf@#k for this week too with colder weather on the weekend, Jebus just took a giant dump on Bear.

Off strawberry gondola is Demoisy, from the top of the gondi head right up the bootpack and on the ridge look for the notches that indicate the chutes. There are three distinct ones, the widest is on the right the smallest and balliest is far left. Ogden and strawberry peak are good too but require alot of work and some skill. Off John Paul is the no name area which has good pow skiing and a little steeps. If the coke can is running take it to get the extra vert, if you know the area you can ride the backside into Ogden. The Olympic downhill starts up there too, which is fun. The only thing you have to worry about over here is going to far out wheelers and getting into the pyramids which are only ok and leave you with a short walk back to the lift. Lastly ride sisters and look right I will leave it to you to figure the rest out.

Hahah I believe your sarcasm meter must be broken, death gaps aside you have to agree that there is a serious problem with gapers in the parks. I'm not talking about skill level per se but the lack of park etiquette that causes serious problems. I have no particular problem with racers, I used to race alot and still run Nastar occasionally but gapers need to learn the fuckin rules. It isn't the core guys who ride everyday, it isn't the park crew, it isn't the young bucks its the fuckin gapers who are getting carted out on the meat wagon every weekend. I wouldn't let my brother with a learner permit hop in a Veyron just like I wouldn't let him hit 20 footers it called being responsible. When I ride I'm responsible for me and whoever I'm with to make sure were riding smart, so yeah it pisses people off when you are essentially at the mercy of other Jongs who have no idea what they are doing.

The Smuggs people love scrapple if you bring them a block from PA they will through you a free pass.

MRG is the shit ....paradise on a pow day=$$$$$. I like the concept of co-op but they have to be real careful one fucked up year and the whole thing falls apart. It would be interesting to see Magic go the co-op route though they require more blowing capacity.

Last night was crazy four or five times I saw multikid pile ups after a rail or hit, my buddy wrecked on the 30ft and kids where trying to slide it with his face still on the rail. Park crew tries but they really can't do a whole lot. If you built every booter as a death gap that would help somewhat but something has to be done before someone gets stomped on.

Amazing pics it seems your living the good life.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree as far as Bode is concerned, regardless the phone calls to your house is seriously weak sauce. I don't know why people take message board discussions to that level but your right, that shows a serious lack of character.

Hestra the end all be all of gloves

agreed though it seems like the simon/tanner debate happens every year. Anyone remember the first X Games with skiing pipe holy shit was it bad, its good to see the sport moving in the right direction. Sometimes I wish Tanner finished high school, imagine if pipe makes the Olymipics and he would win....a good interview it wouldn't be (he too old thank god). Though Armada is now the fifth largest producer of twins, so he did pretty fucking good all things considered.

^ I don't know you so I won't say things that I don't know to be true but what I don't understand is why you are so angry. I didn't know all of those "facts" about the situation with Bode's cousin but I don't disagree that he may have made a bad situation worse. I wasn't there and honestly man neither were you, so you can read every god damn thing that was written and still not know what actually went on. Even in death penalty proceedings things are twisted and obscured and in some circumstances important details are left out for procedural reasons, all I'm trying to say is to take the broader view on this. Being passionate is a positive quality but it can certainly cloud ones judgment.

I don't think I have ever said anything bad about Bear but I really don't like the two lower (not the anti-jump) hits in Black Bear, the ramps are way to quick with the vert. You get so much flex on the front of the skis because it goes from flat to 60 degrees in two feet of travel. I don't know what happened in previous years the booters and tables were really good, even now the ones in cascade are good and the half pipe hit was $$$$. I don't know why they were built like that but mellow it out the vert come on too fast.
