Stowe.

I can't wait. I leave for Vermont i n 4 days!

Thanks. The smell coming off them could kill a horse though

So I scored these Therm-ic boot heaters off Tramdock during the summer and when I went to install them, I wasn't happy with the stock footbeds. I got the elements that you can add to an existing footbed and I'm glad I waited. Anyway, here's the pics I took. My boots (Nordica Speed Machine 12) Removed the liner from the shell Superfeet Green footbed. Line the heating element up Mark my cut line Cut hole and stick wire through Duct tape to secure the wire This covers the element. It has an adhesive backing. Trimmed to fit Cut a slit in the boot liner to stick the wire through I eventually, taped the wire up the back of the liner, and where the wire comes through but didn't get a pic of it. Finished! I did use them yesterday, but it was pretty in the mid-30's. Can't wait to try them for some night skiing soon!

I'm 80% sure I'm headed up after work tomorrow. ETA 5pm-ish. I'll be there with the whole fam New Years AM.

If I didn't have to work, I'd go back tomorrow.

Loved it. I really don't think it's much steeper then Upper Main Street.

Date Skied: 12/28/2009 Resort or Ski Area: Blue Mountain Ski Area Conditions: Frozen Groomed, very windy Trip Report: Had a great day at Blue today. Left the house and it was 38 degrees. 32 when I got to the Valley parking lot. Conditions were very firm and very fast today. Lazy was really smooth, but the Falls runout was like cement cord. Challenge was pretty good. Nightmare into Dreamweaver was a lot of fun. Met up with Kragan. He's a damn good skier. I got to really push my Jet Fuels today to limits I'm not normally comfortable with. Felt awesome! We did one run down Paradise, which was really consistent, got passed by some dude, who was being followed by the Ski Patrol...but they didn't stop him. Damn...could we have been going faster??? Upper Main Street was fantastic. Very smooth and easy to lay an edge into and arc it. The bottom started to get to be a little choppy after Midway around 11:00. Winds were shooting right up Tut's lane today. I also took a run down Central Park, that's a nice alternative to cutting through the park after Main Street. Ski Team was teaching skier irresponsibility on Dreamweaver by setting up their own human salom in the middle of the trail...creating chaos for all the people skiing in their Carhartt's. Brilliant. Oh yeah...the Quad has a VIP line! Wahoo! I bugged out a little before noon as Lazy was in full Crazy mode. Here's today's pics: Riding up the Quad Home Stretch Razor's getting some good base work Lift Line at 9:30AM Nightmare (new tail this year)

Crowds were non-existent until around 10:30, then kragan and I moved over to the Quad. Lines were getting pretty rough around 11:30 and they were doing a terrible job grouping people into 6's because she wasn't wielding the broken ski pole.

I thought conditions were pretty good this morning. Upper Main Street was the shit! Nightmare into Dreamweaver was probably the run of the day.

I'll be up tomorrow (12/28) until around noon and then I'm thinking about going for a night session on Wednesday (12/30). I'll post up a TR on the crowds tomorrow.

Where ever you go, post up a Trip Report on your trip and enjoy.

Glad you had a good time.

Maybe he meant the TV show?

I think I'll be skiing for the opening... If it eventually comes available via On Demand, I'd probably watch it.

Epic is usually the 1st place I turn to when looking for gear reviews.

Racewax.com - get the red/green hydrocarbon pack. I also like Toko System-3 waxes (get all 3 colors).

I like Windham a lot.

Yup. Go get some.

Great pics.

Fox weatherman says there might be lightning and thunder overnight???

Hell yeah.

I've got about 6" with 10" drifts. Waxed the Jet Fuels for tomorrow.

it's a joke. I make my living off people watching endless amounts of tv. hey folks....more channels coming next year! Bucks county & Philly city target >175 HD channels! Wahoo!

Damn....Eye doctor just called and I totally spaced that I have an appointment for Monday morning at 9:30. I may be up later then expected.
