Moe Ghoul how has Smuggs been?
moe ghoul replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Other Mountains
My 1st job 1st semester freshman year was 4 night shifts at the Gulf gas station in town. I had to count every pack of smokes at the end of my shift, then go to an 8AM class. Then I got a job carding at the door at Wollf's Pub 2nd semester and was behind the bar soon thereafter. Good times as well Seriously, if yer up this way, visiting yer kid, etc, door is open for you and a travel mate any time. No teepee required! Powder Notchy's legs are toast. Before dawn hike to the Madonna hut, still snowing lightly, place was SRO, several doobs and vapes later a few ninjas headlamped their first run. I held out for daylight and skied the single best T2B run of my life at Smuggs. Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Knee to thigh high drifts in some spots, but a legit foot of pow on average. Ltft served some untracked thereafter, they groomed a lot more than they usually do, maybe they want to base build. Then I particle farted on the Sterling lift around 10 and decided it was time to go home and burn my shorts. Every lot was filled, so when I came back with some carving skis and fresh underoos, I pulled the disabled card trick and parked all the way up front in the upper lot. I've mastered not feeling bad, ashamed or guilty doing this a few times a season. It's like my personal parking space! Song choice for 1st run of the day. Really loud, JADIMFP -

No plan, open minded, keeping feelers out for opportunities, no rush. . I'm sold on the Bin 22 concept. I'd tweak it a little, but it's a winning set up. -

Been up here for over a month and don't wanna go back to PA. Heading back to PA Sunday to drop off Mrs. Ghoul, dad's gonna visit for a few days midweek, take care of some biz and mail, then return with the hounds for an extended stay on my journey to 100. Smuggs has had 178" so far and we are in a good storm cycle currently. Pow days have been plentiful. Tomorrow should be off the hook again. Burned a lot of calories and brain cells since October recovering from the water damage and pushing myself to get a lot of other delayed projects completed. House is looking great, I finally got the basement checked off and am pleased with the end product. My hands get so cramped up from working, I've dropped my poles on several occasions. Been pounding Aleve and Celebrex when needed and hitting the pool to shore up some foot issues and achy joints. Next time up, the kitchen is finally back in the cross hairs for some demo work. Got my crop going, and paid homage to JH and the Cowboy bar with some saddle stools. Picked the saddles up for $50/pc at a yard sale 5 years ago. Finally got to do some fun stuff in the shop for a change. Life is good, we're blessed. I put the old toilet outside the garage door with a sign on it, "Flush twice, it's a long way to the White House" and an american flag upside down. Going to take a look at a bar/restaurant that closed down last fall for financial reasons on Friday, possible sheriff's sale on it for steezy fire sale price depending on encumbrances and debt. Less than 50% chance of moving on it, but ya never know........did I mention that it's gonna be deep again Thursday? -
Gettin deeeeeeeep in da notch. Planning on hiking up to the Madonna hut early to catch a sunrise and be the powder notchy. Puking hard right now. Have a safe ride to K, NaCl-y. We are staying on this side of mountain tomorrow.

After we hike some early turns in Belvedere in the AM tomorrow, I could hook up for a few runs with you at Stowe any day you are there. If interested, PM me your digits. I'd meet you at the top of the Sensation quad, there's a warming hut at the top. I pop out of the woods from Smuggs there.

Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches, with localized amounts up to 7 inches, are expected. * WHERE...The Northern Adirondacks in New York and much of Vermont along and east of the spine of the Green Mountains. * WHEN...From 7 AM this morning to 7 AM EST Monday. -

Left Philly around 12. Got here around 9, average speed had to be 80 until we hit Vergennes and the roads turned to shit with some black ice and variable crap lying about. Me and the dogs wrestled in 3 foot drifts on the deck and yard. Extremely stoked about skiing this week. Friendlier temps and lotsa pow = JADIP. -

moe ghoul replied to GrilledSteezeSandwich's topic in Blue Mountain
I find myself posting a lot less when I'm up there, especially with the shit ton of work I had to do. Nothing really remarkable about my last trip up. Most days were overcast and I'm not pulling my phone out for pix these days. Good snow, good conditions, several powder days, 4 trips over to Stowe. Side country is in, over 110" so far for Smuggs, even more at Jay. Cold is going to keep the snowpack solid, so this season is looking good so far. I'll post up some stuff on next trip up. Anyone know if I can take the SIMM chip out of my iphone and simply pop it into the cheapo phone I bought as a replacement?
