While I personally may agree with your point, That is the purpose of an open forum like this one...for people to share their opinions on a particular topic.

I'm a fan of your posts.

Nice pics. They still got lots of snow there. Unfortunately I probably won't get over to Blue this season...I normally ski there at least once per season.

Yes...by far. My PE's aren't fat per say but they are a lot wider underfoot than what I was skiing on previously and the difference in heavy snow is pretty incredible. So much so that I will never go back to a narrower ski.

really good to hear. Thanks for the condition update.

nice find.

How was the snow on Jane's and Lehigh? Since BB is closed today, I may bring my kid over to Jackson for a few runs on the blues later this afternoon.

Sucks about the snow up there. Greek Peak has been on my hit list for a while. I may head up possibly next season since it's only about 2 hours away.

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza which was nice. The Dead Timber Glades (thank you for the name by the way) are a lot of fun. When I skied WF last year, when there was a lot less snow and it was much warmer, that area was skiing really nice, I'm guessing because of it's high elevation.

I just removed some photos from my camera and wanted to share a few more miscellaneous shots... The view of Algonquin Peak and Colden Mt. from the hotel The backside of Whiteface and Mirror Lake from Lake Placid PARR coming down Lower Valley or Fox (not sure) towards the lift (photo credit to Dan) Slides from the Summit Quad Glade in between Skyward and Cloudspin near the summit with Mt Mansfield in the distance. Lookout Below...This trail has got to be one of the elite in the East coast. Looking down the large ski jump. Anyway good times.

I just saw those pics and WOW. I think I saw that last photo of Johnny Style on a ski mag cover someplace. Sounds like a great time...wouldnt mind experiencing Aspen in the future.

i was thinking about it but I'm not a fan of skiing on the same day that I'm making the drive home. I'll probably take in some more of the olympic sites...probably the ski jumping complex. I did get a chance to go in the Herb Brooks arena (home of the miracle on ice) which was cool.

...continued We spent more time in the trees today than we did on the trails. We made our way up the gondi to little wf where we skied empire to cloudsplitter glades which was epic. Again we got lost amongst tall evergreens for a good 15 minutes. The clousplitter glades were easily the run of the day. They're steep and the trees are tight. We hit the summit again for a run down skyward to blazers bluff to mid mt for lunch. We rode the lookout triple where we skied wilmington. I made my way over to lookout below and Dan hopped back into sugar valley. LB was much softer than yesterday and so much fun to ski. I know I'm missing stuff but we finished with a run off of the gondi to empire back to the cloudsplitter glades to the high country glades to the base. Today was in a word fantastic. It was so much fun to explore the mt's trees and off piste. On one of the gondi rides up a local was telling us how he skis all over the world but whiteface is his favorite which I thought was a pretty big complement.

Day 2...The empire strikes back. Dan and I got a late start this morning. We started off around 9am and took the clousplitter to little whiteface. We skied approach and were ecstatic to find that upper Empire was open! I immediately hoped in. Empire is about 12 feet wide and steep. On the way down i noticed that cloudsplitter glades were open. I continued skiing empire the whole way. We then hit the summit for a leg burning 3100 vertical. We decided to hit lookout mt. where the stoke levels jumped when we found out that the sugar valley glades were open. sugar valley in the definition of eastern skiing. we got lost in the woods for a solid 20 minutes...more to come.

lol... Day 2 coming up. Dan the man woke me up late this morning with a text message that read that coffee there was waiting for me. Getting ready to leave in a few. It's kinda cloudy and overcast here in town but the sun is supposed to come out and brighten things up like yesterday. The rain is supposed to roll in tomorrow through the weekend

Just riding the shuttle back to lake placid. We pulled up to the mt arpund 8:20. The clear sky and bright sunshine remained throughout the day. This was JfskiDans first time skiing WF. His face when we pulled into the lot and the mt became visible was priceless. The snow was a packed powder in the morning but loosened up as the day went on. we took our first run off of the gondola...excelsior to past the mid station to the bottom. we flew down as the snow was perfect for speed. we then hit the summit...skyward to switchback to lower cloudspin. cloudspin is a natural snow trail so there were a number of rocks that we needed to dodge. After a leg burning run on mountain run we hit lookout mt. Lookout below had nobody on it. As we were skiing down the wilmington trail a patroller stopped and i asked if lb was opening. He was just on his way over to drop the rope on it...perfect timing. lookout below is a beast of a trail. it makes outer limits seem tame. We made our way back to the summit to ski upper skyward and a bumped up lower skyward. i cut over to blazers bluff where some one yelled "go for it" from the lift...so I did. Blazers is almost like the elevator but a lot narrower. i finished my day with a 3 mile run down wilmington. there was plenty of runs in between which i'm sure Im missing but today was absolutely stellar. Pictures are forthcoming.

just ate a brownie from the lookout cafe. riding the clousplitter with dan now with bright sunshine and clear blue skies...just missed the first civilian gondola.

There is actually. from exit 30 to lake placid, roadsides and sidewalks are pretty much covered but you can tell it hasnt snowed in a few days. The surrounding peaks are snowcapped.

just rolled into LP not long ago. Our hotel is up on a hill with a sweet view of the surrounding high peaks,whiteface and the bob sled track!

lol...I'll try; or maybe it should be other way around (remember it was my idea to venture into the Jack Frost wilderness )

Tomorrow at this time JFSkiDan and myself will be skiing what is in my opinion the true beast of the east...Whiteface Mt. It looks like we'll have a few bluebird days on tap with highs in the 40s. The Slides are listed as closed (looks like we missed them by 3 days ) but Cloudspin and Lookout Below are listed as open as of today. The spring bumps on Lookout Below should be choice Stay tuned for complete TR's are photos. And for stoke...

I'll take that, plus BB is good to go well into April.

As always, excellent shots bro.

crazy. glad the dude made it out.
