Popular Post RidgeRacer Posted March 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Riding the gondi solo. New gondolas a swanky AF. My daughter will be here after her physics test. Cloudy at the peak so it may not be the best day for pics but I'll see what I can do for my fellow PASRs. Stoked as always to be at the True beast of the east and one of my favorite places anywhere.

RidgeRacer Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 There's hope. Clouds to the east over in vermont appear to be breaking. At the moment look out and the summit are closed. Sticking to little white face at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Just skied approach to wilderness and made the most miraculous recovery in all my years of skiing. Flat light and foggy I didn't see a lip right before the pitch...came in with speed, saw the lip last minute and tried to stop but it was too late. Did a 180, and backwards wedged on that pitch (wilderness) with speed for about 300 or so feet. Finally dug in hard enough to stop but miraculously stayed up right. Literally had to pull over and just sit for like 10 minutes to absorb what just happened. Edited March 1, 2021 by RidgeRacer 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it clears out for you I honestly don't care that much tomorrow is supposed to be bluebird. The snow is really good and that's what counts. I just hope the summit and look out open soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Dumping out. The last hour or so was skiing with a tinge of accumulated pow. Maybe an inch or so. Never got to the summit. It never opened. It was little WF all day with one run off lookout mountain and toward the end laps off the face lift as everything high closed around 3. Still a great freaking day. Ride home was sketch. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
