Yep. That's the opposite of linear. It's awesome when done correctly. Puts you in the exploration mode.

Oh. Btw...

I mean that the trails are merging and crossing all the time. The map seems straightforward, but I get the opposite feeling from skiing the actual mountain. It's not just a straight trail down all the way where you can often see where the trail ends right from the top of the mountain. This makes skiing fun. It's not technical anymore it's recreational I'm the best sense of it. But that only works when they're open 100% I guess.

Right now it's real good. Yeah, on average it's worse than CB, but this year... unbelievable. And it's more interesting to ski it than BM because the trails and connections are interesting, slope constantly varies. It's just fun.

The third peak us as good as I remember it except even better. Everything is open, between Vernon and Granite peaks there is a gazillion of intricate trails and I keep getting lost and coming to the wrong lift. Gondolas are a little annoying, and the alternative isn't running tonight. This is definitely not a mountain for salty. He would die of exertion on his way back to South. The trail that parallels the 15 minute lift is almost a cross country trail. I'm gonna check if the racers are finally done and then go ride the fourth Bear peak. This is a great year for MC. I've never seen it with so much terrain open, and snow being this good. One trail is gone, yeah, its not even in the map anymore. Locals say it's because if some pipeline crossing it. Hopefully the conditions will stay.

You're just afraid that there's something better nearby

Oh yeah. Riding gondolas with girls

Heeey, there used to be a trail here!! That sucks, so there is only one way down from the middle peak! Blue is gaining trails, MC is closing them.

Oh thaaaats why my chair smelled of it!

Not too bad black. But icy.

The meditative lift.

Damn. My memories are starting to come back. The connecting double lift is the longest and slowest lift ever!! I remember I liked riding it on weekends because it's going through the woods with no slopes and skiers in sights. And you do get tired of crowds at some point here. Sloooow and meditative. Just don't drop anything down. You'll never be able to hike back.

Well, minus one peak for me. It seems like there is no trail down from South peak that wouldn't have at least some park features installed at some point. Im certainly an alien here on my skis. Was wrong about snow. It may be wettish at the bottom, by is alright on the slopes. On the soft side, no ice peaking through.

Frankly I haven't been too fond of MC before... Snow is often not too good, it's warmer than everywhere else, the peaks often become disconnected because of snow again, but today certainly is great! Kinda early spring conditions with wettish snow, but no slush. Three peaks to choose from, Bear peak is almost completely taken by racers. There are tons of them today. Whoever said that it's a loooong walk to the lodge, you chose wrong parking! Next time go to South lot. Lodge is right across the road with two expresses immediately behind. I completely forgot what the terrain looks like! Got to study the map again. They have since upgraded the ticketing to use RFID, and it appears to be identical to Blue's.

You're being unfair to the other forum. I found some of the best discussions there on clothing and gear in extreme VT/Canadian weather. Where else can you find not only the list of articles to wear, but also nice photos of them.

Come to think of it, people here actually loved skiing CB back in those days. And then midnight hit, the mountain turned into pumpkin, and the true virus has taken over. Who's the outsider on the board?

Meh, I feel bad a little, don't like complaining, would've been so nicer if that guy was in a better mood that day. But hey, I get to finish it off, and that's awesome. Hopefully they won't lock and beat me up when I come back

Oh wow... I sent them an email, and got a response today saying that the issue was discussed with the staff, and I can come again to finish the Navigator. Now, why couldn't they just say the same while I was there?

Except that one is camber. Hence the ever increasing rarity.

Yeah, this is a board of riches, I start getting it. Some nice Kastles, some rare and antique Mantras, now a personal tech and a caterer, there is no way I'm good enough for this.

He did mention that it's only one more year before he'll advance to the next tier of CB passes. So I'm kind of surprised that he's not doing it the other way around. I.e. get CB for another year, and only then switch to BM.

I'm jealous of his personal ski tech. I don't even have a gardener yet.

I'm confused. You had those bindings mounted elsewhere, you used a jig, or just had some old pattern handy that you can't trace back to the online sources?

I don't want a wider one. I'd prefer to buy something I've tried, but from all the other reviews it's clear that 83 behaves as well as 88, it's a little bit more frontside oriented and is as stable and crud resistant as 88. Plus it has a tad higher radius than 88. This case is also unlike other manufacturers when narrower skis have different construction and are somewhat weaker (like RTMs). 83 and 88 have identical guts.

Goody. Will axial2 pattern work? https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=189958&d=1476174040
