JoeGM ...........on 3/8, I typed in "Duh ....ummm ....duh ....what are seeded bumps?" . How is that taking shots ????? So, like, back to the original question: what are seeded bumps?

Cool, so this is what Saddleback is like. This one is on the hit list. There appears to be a dearth of the dreaded "McExperience" :twisted: there.

Ummmm .... duh ..... I don't recall taking a shot at the MAN MADE SEEDED BUMPS, lately. Does Burpee sell seeds for bumps in those little packets next to the Marigold seeds? :lol:

The scraps were rapidly melting. I took care of Cat Bowl for Trail Check and the headwall was out which meant scooting in through Cantelope Chute. The prior night was too warm for a hard freeze, hence no corn. We had wet slop instead. Fall Line was oustanding with great coverage. Bunny -...

For roughly a year, we were intrigued by some NE aspects on an obscure peak in a region known for heavy snowfall :idea: ....... OK, so we finally went for it on Saturday. Under gloomy skies we skinned up, making frequent checks with maps/compasses/GPS' and much discussion and observation...

It wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor; just check out the MRG website. http://www.madriverglen.com

Friday evening, I escaped St. Patrick's Week in the Boston area (I can only take so much, geez) and stopped at the Hyde Away to refuel. I ran into Spencer, corrupting folks from Fayston to Boston to St John's NF :shock: . I didn't check in 'til 2:30AM ..... So, I got a late start. It turns...

Uh-oh ........Saturday, I was bummed out looking at the mountain starting to die. But, skies were sunny and the skiing was actually pretty good. The Double had mashed 'tater like snow while The Single had more corn-like goods. Quacky, Cat Bowl and Lower Glade were especially nice. At the end...

Remember that having fun could be more important than getting your money's worth. Whenever people go to Attitash for more than a day or 2, I always suggest the following: Wildcat. Wildcat's base elevation is not too much lower than Attitash' peak elevation. This means if it rains at...

Duh ....ummm ....duh ....what are seeded bumps?

During the week, Sam' and I contacted each other about getting together for the day at Mad River. I had a voucher for her and she needed a mental health break so there could be nothing to lose for a day. I had taken her to Presidential Range summits in Winter, rock climbing and camping...

With a thaw->flash freeze->holiday crowds looming on the horizon, I lamented via e-mail how several Patrol Directors must be sh*tt*ng bricks over the upcoming weekend. When I rolled into the lodge parking lot after refueling on some well-earned pints, I stepped out onto an ice skating rink...

Plans to earn turns south of Mascara Mountain fizzled as the storm headed even further south. Coverage was OK on Stark Mountain and many technical turns were to be had. Turn exactly on the top of a bump and hold your breath as ya' skate across an ice floe. After my noon stint, I was stiff and...

started off in my truck in the darkness and it was dumping .......dumping rain. I got to Smuggs and it let up in time for our Toboggan Enhancement Day. I was joined by a Smuggs and 3 Jay Peak Patrollers. Andre' and Bill, 2 Montrealers from Jay displayed some awesome telemark skills; Andre...

The overnight freeze made things pretty boiler plate on Stark Mountain. So, I was not too thrilled about doing trail check on Upper Panther. But, whaddya' know, it was very edgeable and enjoyable and the sun was rapidly softening the surface. We figured that some more softening was needed for...

I was suprised at the heavy traffic on I-89 that was in MY way - dang these yuppie touron Massholes ........oh, wait minute, I'm one of those. The new snow musta' stimulated a lotta' snow starved skiers. Anyway, trail check down Panther was very nice. Later, we ran sleds. My assignment...

I'd go to Loon .........and drive the extra 15 minutes north for more snow for $42/day at Cannon. Bags packed, next stop: Hyde Away for well earned pints and then turns at MRG.

Eric had been chided for predicting "phenomenal" skiing for the weekend. So, I anticipated having some fun with that. At the top of The Double, I wrote in "Have a phenomenal weekend" on the whiteboard. Some new snow had fallen on top of the week's snowfall and I flew down Gazelle for trail...

Lookin' good ......LOOKINNNN GOOOOOD: http://www.madriverglen.com/ :D "Good News! The Mountain has received 3"-4" of heavy, fresh snow since last night and it is still coming down! This new snow should make for some much appreciated fresh cover and set us up for some great skiing. Today we...

With the exception of a few pesky water bars, the coverage is fine.
