My guess is 2 of the front smoker runs, Marjie and Asp, Tut, cleo, Pharoah, Birches, Marc Anthony and whatever the terrain park zone is called.

We brought enough stuff for at least 3 nites if we decided to extend it. Some of the stuff I had is a bit outdated tech and materialswise, but I didn't want to shell out the money for some fancy micro liteweight replacement at this point in time. My old Army mess kit, a can of salmon, 2 tins of smoked oysters, 2 cans of tuna, 2 lbs of propane, the burner, a cooking pot, a shovel, my bayonet, a full bottle of Cuervo Black prolly came close to 10-12 pounds alone. The pack weighs almost 6.

Props to the new backpack, which made it feel a lot less than that. That said, I'll be scaling back a bit on the next outing.

JFBB is opening? Nice! Enjoy. Nope, I posted that YESTERDAY in the other thread. But nice try to burst my bubble. FAIL.

Read the fine print, didn't your lawyer dad teach you anyhting???? Is he a member?

When: Sunday, 12/6/09 6:15AM Where: Wissahickon Ski Hill http://www.wissahickonskiclub.org/ Conditions: 28 degrees, clear skies, fading full moon, no wind, fresh untracked mildly crusty 1-2" Pulled into the lot at 6AM and booted up. Hiked up Lower Wiss to Upper Wiss, brought the Recons since they're almost rock ski status. Made 2 trips up and called it a day. No need to risk injury this early in the season. Parting shots of the lodge and hill Sunrise over the City of Brotherly Love coming home.

Mission accomplished, anyone hit it before 6:12 AM today?

I've seen them advertised and read up on them. Never tried one.

Strictly Backwoods, mostly just chew on them as a crutch to keep away from cigs.

My motivation to build it initially was to haul my snowblower over to my MIL's house to move snow, but it quickly morphed into potential other uses like I mentioned. FYI, the trailer was a kit by D. Hart Designs Inc. . Trade name T-1000, Max load: 200lbs (I beefed it up to about 400 lbs carrying capacity). Already customized the deck to secure the blower and installed cleats for easy tethering. I'm seriously considering doing residential driveways d/b/a SNONOMOE or SNONOMO' or UNRELIABLE SNO REMOVAL.

10PM...............WMOE weather team making its final report for this evening........Snowfall density has tapered off but snow quality is noticeably drier and still falling at an estimated 1/4 inch an hour, little to no wind and less humidity in the air. Current temperature is 36 degrees and has held within 5 degrees since this morning. Yes, it's still snowing, so...... now that you got that precious frozen commodity in your hands..............what are you going to do about it????????????

I'm either XCing thru Walnut Lane GC or poaching on Barren Hill. I'm making the move for 1st PASR PA turns....................

I've got 3" on the railings.

WMOE news time is..........4:20

I'd like to take a moment to introduce our viewers to the crack WMOE weather team that do a lot of the behind the scenes work to make us glamorous peeps in front of the cameras look so good. Here's Cody, single white male, who handles the cameras behind the scenes, and my young black assistant, Jewels, who made me buy her that fine red coat or she would tell my wife I'm having an affair with her. We are seeing the snow continue to fall at a steady pace, picking up in density and accumulations still less than an inch in Philly, but outlying suburbs seeing more. And now a word from our sponsors, Superfresh and Shoprite, "Where we have plenty of milk, bread and batteries, cuz ya never know...ya might not get out until tomorrow morning!!!!"

GSS took the cherished prize skiing down an entrance ramp in Bumfahk township last year. Who will post up evidence tomorrow? only need a few inches to slide. I picked up a Salomon XC package from Moosejaw for $200 bux that came in a few days before we left for VT. Maybe we'll get enough whiteness to test them out. If we get 4+ inches and it holds into the AM, I'll head over to my property and poach Wissahickon ski club's black diamond.....STOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Hugo!! But a real weatherman gets out there to report it and I left the studio. Currently reporting real time conditions here in Roxborough, where temps are holding steady around 35 degrees, winds out of the southeast around 5 mph and the snow is steady and wet. We'll be keeping you posted throughout the nite as the sheeple frantically run around buying up milk, bread and batteries. Back to you, A.H. .......

All part of my plan to kick it up a notch with BC as the goal. Rome wasn't built in one day, but I like my progress so far and was pleased as punch that a lot of skills from years ago came back intuitively. Cooking on my old Army issued mess kit I used from my scouting days flooded me with memories of people places and things I thought I had long forgotten. I recently built a small trailer, modular style with the idea that I could custom build several setups for hauling kayaks and even creating a small warming hut on it. Moe's wheels are already spinning away in design mode. My buddy had a small boat trailer he never finished assembling and was laying in his backyard rotting away covered in ivy. Here's the wheels and axle after I wirebrushed and primed it and reinforced the axle to hold heavier weight. Modular assembly allows me to take the whole trailer apart in 10 minutes MRG stokage on the fenders. I drive a Honda Pilot, so it's been christened the "Co-Pilot" I finished it on Veteran's Day, so I thru some flags on it and emailed the pic to the guy that left it to rot in his yard. Final cost was about $120, not including materials I already had laying around the house and shop. It cost me almost as much to title it and register it.

Thanks for that report, Shaniqua, looks cold out there, but its nice and warm in the studio.

Sweet, I'm already repacking for next week and don't know where I'm going yet. Knocking out laundry right now, I almost don't want to wash one article of camp clothing just to hang on to the lingering smoky smell for the memory..

Just went outside to put some gear away in the car and saw a few tiny wet flakes here in Philly.

I did quite a bit of prep before hand. Baked off and sliced up potatoes, made a few pounds of teriyaki jerky on the smoker, had eggs, bacon bits, parsely, chopped up yellow and red onions with shallots which we ate on everything. Swiped every kind of condiment packet from minimarts. Buddy brought 2 thick NY strips, killed a bottle of Cuervo Black and 1/2 a bottle of single barrel bourbon. We ate REALLY well. Made a nice tequila reduction for the steaks. Yummers.

Yeah, the camp has a name, but we're keeping it a secret unless anyone can ID it. It's that cool. We couldn't find it on any of the trail or topo maps.

Random shots from Kmart Wednesday 12/2 and Friday 12/4. No shots from MRG due to poor visibility and heavy rain. Lunch at the "Tailgate". Eff crappy overpriced lodge food. Amazing sight along Rte. 100 driving towards Rutland on Thursday. Water was shooting out from the rain. In line waiting for the K-1 to open today.
