  1. My nipples started tingling just thinking about it
  2. You surf? (Or are you like Charlie)
  3. Believe me, all the elements of the trip (i.e., being with my son, skiing, being in northern Vt and enjoying all the killer farm-to-table fare) was more a therapy session for me than anything else. Yolo
  4. If Penn DOT can keep the nav system operational on their ferry then it would not be an issue!
  5. Brief pause in the crazy ass work schedule (was supposed to be over 10nov but the EMA fucked up). So no weekend work! Took the opportunity to head to northern Vt to visit my son. Well since I'm passing through may as well stop and hit killi. 2 ways down from the NRT. Three if you count the first run down from the Gondi. Place was packed as it is only 600' vert. Sugar and hard pack with plenty scraped off. Good bumps too though. Lines were ridiculous but it moved and the singles line was never more then a 10 min wait. They had a dj playing good tunes, people were smiling, tinnies were had. I skied for about 3 hrs and said ok. Only bummer is my right ankle still swollen from running injury so really started to bother me. Removed the middle buckle and much better (3 buckle boot). Glad I went, it was awesome skiing again despite what it was. Superstar is shaping up nicely too
  6. I was a top lot'er for my kids but now changed to bottom lot for the lunchtime fuckery (friend keeps a grill strapped to his pick-up all season). Since I got ~ 90 min commute I often stop at the top lot to "unload" before heading on down (can park in the unloading zone and run up to the bathroom - potty humor never gets old). I did not bother trying to get to the bottom lot during the blizzard last year though
  7. 2008 was a cold November(1st year I got serious about skiing). 2014 was the last cold November I remember. Hope K can pull off the WC
  8. On those windy days the flyer is the worlds coldest lift I swear. One day I'll sack up and do the face chutes. Did the stuff off to the side but never directly in front of the tram house
  9. Still may. I have not been to jay in years which is sad cause I really love that mountain and Nick got his season pass to jay this year Also Jay gives like a 40 percent off with another resorts pass so a lot cheaper than Stowe. Or at least they used to...
  10. May bag a trip out west this year and just do several trips up to mrg and jay. Tbd
  11. UVM sighting relayed to me by #1 son. Hopefully the spigots be fully open soon!
  12. Not pokes but possibly a (albeit big) detour http://www.heinosskiandcycle.com/events I heading over Friday to drop off boots and old skis. Make some $ and blow it on K-tickets
  13. LL Bean has a no-ask refund policy. A pod cast I was listening to recently (forget which one) had a hilarious story about interviewing the employees at the return window. People are returning tents after their once in a decade camping trip or even returning 20 year old shirts because they were worn out. It was hilarious to listen too but also a bit depressing
  14. Porpoises in the line up this evening. Very cool. No pics so think of flipper
  15. Healing thoughts. Sounds unique indeed. 1.2k' and 4 floors? Pls post pics.
  16. Indiggo, where are we going out west?
  17. Yes. Widow Maker is prone to slides. Props to Blue's operation folks

    Make sure to add a yoga session or two every week. Crazy how effective that stuff is
