They need to blast this on the speakers when anyone drops into Stalins stunt ditch on CS

I’m confused. Are we going with a communist, or fascist themed names for the stunt ditch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol as a bumper friend of mine says “wear everything” lol Actually warmed up to mid 5s so nothing you guys did not experience this weekend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

22 Jan BV: quick post and I gotta boogie - driving back today. They opened wilderness peak for first time this season today. Huge backcountry tour scene here also. As noted above this place skis small but still manages to punch above its weight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True (not that I’m winning) but food/ beverage/local vibe is off the charts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s vista peak because I recognized the wind turbine. Did not see a fire tower though, and I went past it on that far trail too. Oh well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No. Is it an actual fire tower or local slang for access to more rowdy stuff? Wilderness peak not spinning so only on vista today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it’s 1700 but yeah ski wise it skis smaller. Some rowdy side shots all over the place though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

21jan Bolton Valley: woke up to -13F so kinda not in a hurry to get outside. Left waitsfield at 9AM and to BV 45 min later. Access road got some STEEP sections. Spicy weather would be interesting… BV reporting 20” in the last 8 days but nothing in the last 72 hr. wilderness peak not open so basically one lift up. My impression of BV is if you mash up smuggs and Magic you get BV. If you like ripping groomers this place is not for you. But it got a gazzilion rabbit holes to poke around in and I was having a hoot. The snow off trail was still pretty good - guess arctic temps will do that.Temps warmed to maybe 4F today but at least no wind so if you dressed like an astronaut you were fine. Plan is to hit opening here tomorrow and ski to noonish and head home tomorrow. Looking forward to another day here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a blast skiing WF with Indigo and son yesterday (~27k vert?). Made the 85 mile traverse to MRVin a little over 2 hours, settled in at the White Horse inn and enjoyed killer burrito and beverages at the Mad Taco. 20Jan Mt Ellen: woke to ~20F but knew temps would drop as the day progressed so dressed like an astronaut and made the 3 min commute to Mt Ellen taking advantage of its throwback Thursday program of Mt Ellen only for $40. Bad day for Mt Ellen only pass if you like diversity. Load testing north ridge quad so all of upper mountain is closed. Inverness lift does not spin mid week either. Only runs are cliffs, hammerhead, tumbler and lower fis. Of which only cliffs was groomed. Cliffs was meh, Hammerhead is sketch up top but good below. Took a header on HH trying to negotiate a large exposed rock band and spent the next 15 min climbing up to retrieve my ski and find relatively flat ground to click back in. Tumbler was ROTD. FaNtastic snow with several head walls of bumps. Really super fun and spent 90% of day lapping tumbler. Lower fis was also pre sweet but looonnnngggg runout with uphills and exposed stream crossings made it a one n done. So pretty much lapped tumblers unti ~2PM when my legs said no mas. Temperatures seriously tank tomorrow and I head to Bolton Valley which I have never skied before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lmao! I’m here at Lake Placid Brewery and pub eating chow before heading to Indigios tiny house after an uneventful drive up and I figure instead of asking how his drive up was to check this site first. Indigo is a GSS-approved poster! Psyched to ski WF tomorrow and doing it with Indigio and son! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a fun weekend . Great conditions and although crowded later could still do reasonable time in lifts. TCS rights side ( no bumps so everyone went there) was absolute $hit (watched a ski school instructor eat it there).left side with bumps was $ as most stayed away Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

1/15...chilly..nice snow..PASR day.

Yeah that’s what I meant by “imbedded” as opposed to typical loose cookies. That there would be the true Himalayan snow leopard of fuk/$hit snow. Totally jelly of skiinyc if she got those goods
-
solid IMBEDDED cookies? Because again if so a new experience for me and I need to check that box off my fuk/$hit snow list
-
I am intrigued by this snow type. I would like to experience it.
