  1. Ascutney was all about the cabin and dark side of the moon trees, the later had two 10/15ft's with super spaced old growth trees. Shit was tits mcgee.
  2. Blue Marsh sucked and the people that ran it are such shit heads they killed two mountains, the other being Ascutney which had epic tree skiing. Laurel highlands was pretty cool for a smaller hill, gss will be happy to know I'm pretty sure they have or will throw something high speed up. The key to that area and Blue Knob is generally it snows alot, they can do 200" semi-regularly which is pretty dope for PA. The knob is covered with logging and snowmobile roads which are excellent with a little base, I don't remember such things at laurel but I only remember being their once.
  3. If you piece it out and want to get rid of patches/books let me know....some cool ass shit in there
  4. I like rude is better than boring
  5. This Ski2live, that is the way I see such things, I don't even agree with everything that I post let alone everybody else but the ban hammer is reserved for truly foul behaviour. We are all big boys here. That said sometimes the ban hammer is deployed here because sallys want to flex nuts.
  6. First of all you can't ban somebody that has a statue at the fishing pond. That's just common sense. Second that's so fucking lame, this website is the same 20 people almost all of which ride at blue together. So what's the deal ?
  7. Nuclear is also by any metric the cleanest and safest form of energy. Its not even close and that's old nuke gen II shit were not talking IFR's and sub critical with fast neutron particle accelerators. Wind or solar power is not powering base loads that's NG, coal and nuclear, variable output production would be peak demand only. Regardless one can be for alternative energy and go skiing, I understand the point your making but one can like wind power for purely economic reasons that have nothing to do with saving the planet or whatever. Wind for example will be assuming increased generation as cheap if not cheaper than many conventional fuels, the EROEI and such is just factors better as your not expending nearly as much energy to produce a Megawatt aka the fuel comes to you. Additionally one can be pro environment and pro economics, the idea that these things are in opposition is pure lunacy, everything everyone has ever or will ever do is entirely and completely dependent on a incredibly specific relationship with nature. The single biggest threat to everything including our economic system is climate change and not because it's going to get too hot, 50million people live in Bangladesh, at best 1/3 are underwater within a decade or two. That's one country potentially sending 15million refugees to who the fuck knows were. That creates conflict, that disrupts an economic system that demands predictability, that introduces an entirely new level of resource competition in an area of the world that already has a metric fuckton of people. it's real bad shit for humans which includes economics and being fifthly rich. Ski areas use alot of juice relative to other things but even if snow was never blown again on planet earth it would have no effect on anything, it's pissing in the ocean. The drivers of energy use is the stuff everyone does all the time, your not using terrawatts blowing snow.
  8. The blob is back, the blob is a patch of warm water of the coast of ak. The blob was around two years ago while it makes ak warm and dry it drives cold air from Canada into our region hence why the two years previous to last season were so consistently cold. This doesn't guarantee jack shit but it's certainly promising
  9. Somebody kept yelling it last year, I want to say it was GSSucks but honestly can't remember, it's the first thing that pops in my head now anytime I see someone hand flexing.
  10. Is that a Case 580 Super N ? Thing is fucking sweet, has SCR and optional ROPS/FOPS certified protective cab with rear wipers and floor mat ! Excellent float in deep pow and certainly unflappable at speed, just a smidge heavy for me at 17k pounds...... EDIT: Hand flexing is bullshit !!!!
  11. My daughter is 22/23 on catching them first ball, I suck I wasted like 30 balls on a zubat.....
  12. Be level 5 and then go to a gym.
  13. Why do you seem to think this is a good thing ?
  14. Same problem its just expressed differently because of axial tilt
  15. Bingo Saddleback could have opened they chose not to. Jay will be open too much money around to throw it away on bullshit. NEK gov't entities will pony up the necessary backing on 4mil worth of loans if necessary. Outside of VR and shit the mts that work are those in which the P&L's are rounding errors in a much much larger enterprise, think Aspen resorts. Ski Co is owned by the Crowns who are JPMC and General Dynamics a couple mil loss or profit is essentially irrelevant to their situation. If your hill isn't going to be owned by one of the mega conglomerates and isn't a one off cash cow type dealio your only future is to be owned by one of those types.
  16. Sands is Alberta, Dakotas is shale. Lots of peeps knew there was shit in there but without ERD and really propants you couldn't get the shit out. Basically you drill a long horizontal string, jack up the pressure with drilling mud and use the propants to hold open already occurring seams in the rock formations and collect the gas or liquid that is forced out.
  17. At least something is frozen in the NEK......finally maybe get the Q out of Burke......I won't repeat my rant on the industry rather I'll just say this isn't a surprise at all....
  18. Monks is fantastic but second to UJ's......hahahah....country bonus....
  19. Is this like a date ? Are you trying to fuck somebody ? Vetri Talula's Garden Amada Zahav Those are kinda par for the course though certainly excellent resturants, however if it's a friend or something I try to pick something that fits their personality or is less well known. Let's say they are into music or like offbeat shit, I want to have the ability to talk in a romantic setting Victor Cafe though I guess that's more well known now. Smaller gems maybe something like Little Pete's, the Royal or La Minette. Bars are the moment, I really like A-bar if I'm out with someone I want to talk to, american sardine bar, south kitchen, varga, garage and if they are cool Fiume.
  20. It goes they should open back up I mean that's good conditions at mrg
  21. Sickbird !! Looks like a real solid trip
  22. Excellent ! Way to get after it
  23. Music: First I only have some shitty cell phone pics, sorry but I'm currently in a no camera ski mode. For many years i was in camera mode but no longer maybe next year. This year in a lot of ways sucked hairy donkey balls, it didn't really snow and the temps where more variable than a drunk Russian on a tilt a whirl. That said it was also one of my most fun years, old people, new people coming together to have fun and i think the shit fuck snow actually created more fuckery which is always great. CO is the spiritual end to my season and with that in mind may I present to you a super quick tr. Friday and Saturday I skied WP it was excellent spring skiing. Sunday I skied Vail and stayed in a baller pad, the Kardashians were also there if your a fucking retard and care about that stuff Monday I skied Ajax and rode a bunch of next years skis. Tuesday is where the fun begins, weather looked like dog shit but at noon it started to come down in sheets. 6" was reported and the plan was on for the holy grail the bowl. Highlands is the best of A$pen and the bowl is the best part of Highlands if you disagree your wrong Stoked to get fresh bowl The trees past the weather station were for sure boner city but the center punch was untracked and considerably steeper so center punch it was. I sent my brother to White Kitchen and told him to send the cornice. hahahahha Because he's dumb and trusts me he sent it. (picture so small) That's not that rowdy unless you know White is 42/38 avg Snow was good All of those pics were taken while my ass was posted up on Steep and Deep which is 42/39 avg snow was real good there too Blah Blah Blah shit was boner city until Saturday, for those that may not know a fine pair of titties almost regardless of size is my true weakness be it CBI and the eternal fried v sauteed or any number of ex's. Now I was sort of burnt out on trying new skis but the Stockli rep had a slamming rack and it was like 60 so shit's on display, she says take the new 95 Stormrider out and I of course agree. Distracted I never did anything other than flirt and didn't notice the brake assembly had a bent right arm which would prove to be my undoing. Two lefts and we are picking up speed but the second I shifted weight to carve right the bent brake arm caught and the ski released and I kept going straight. This did not end well.....well mostly. Aspen Er is actually super nice and very fast, I left with a slightly deflated ego, weird patellar tendon and an upcoming trip to get meniscus looked at. I still skied today at highlands because again highlands is the shit and they do spring right. I took some runs then partied on the deck at cloud 9, took some more runs and then partied some more at highlands alehouse. For the uninitiated Cloud 9 is maybe the best spring party anywhere as for why I read Vogue well because I'm a man of impeccable taste and style. http://www.vogue.com/13419384/aspen-cloud-nine-ski-restaurant-party/ Hey guess what that was actually pretty long.........
  24. It's actually pretty easy to do and it can be tough to find a local shop
  25. Why ask a question just to humble brag ?
