You guys/gals have much bigger cajones/ovaries than I do. I'm terrified of lift-served in November. .....hmmm, but then again, to a starved man even a Big Mac starts looking mighty tasty :lol: . Free list served at Killington? .....yup, I saw it happen once. I believe the exact date was...

It's grossly overrated in the East and there really ain't much :twisted: The Selkirks/Rogers Pass has the best tree skiing I've ever seen. Red Mountain is an enormous glade. Fairy Meadow did not have much for tree skiing - the chink in its armour. Dropping into Kicking Horse Pass on...

Problem with that is that I dunno' if there would be enough room at the top, there as it gets pretty steep and rocky up there and it would also mess up Catwalk, a fun little adventure from the top. Face it, October and November simply ain't ski season unless you count scaring the fecal matter...

Hmmmm ...... a very quick learner 8) .

...and the announcement for this year's trail work was posted today and is here: http://www.treeskier.com/mrg/index.html Sharpen the loppers and break out the bow saws.

Into the parking lot at 6:50AM ?..and there were not many spots left. It was Inferno Day and more than 2500 folks showed up at Pinkham Crotch and a festive atmosphere was everywhere. For the second weekend in a row, we were to get TWO days of bluebird skies, deep snow and corn! Woo-hoo, I...

The Presidentials are HOT right now. It?s Observatory to Route 16 and you can avoid a nasty little hole in the Cutler River right where it leaves the Floor of the Ravine by snowplowing down to Connection Cache and dropping into the streambed. Anyway, we did a buncha? stuff on the right side ...

Well, it was Hell on the highway which meant ??Heaven on The Mountain! The upper part of Gazelle was a bit disappointing with a bit of crust underneath. But on the second run, I headed for my favorite off-piste line and got some huge stretches of untracked where it opens up. Off-piste was...

On Saturday, I drew my favorite morning trail check run, Panther. It was fine except for that nasty persistent ice skating rink on the headwall. I spent a good part of the day doing some off-piste runs as the snow cover has finally reached a point where I feel comfortable in the woods. At...

Please don't tell. After all, what fun is an Easter Egg Hunt if you're told where the eggs are! :P

It's there ....don't worry 'bout coverage, now.

I've almost gotten bored to death on quite a number of McTrails.

Man, I was tired this morning. But, with heavy snow falling at 7:00AM, I knew I had to dig down deep and just find a way ? it?s a powder day at Mad River and that?s that. I had a small blister from the prior day, so I need a 4x4, a dab of Bag Balm and duct tape to take care of myself after I...

I got up very early to assemble my gear and head out to the trail head. By 07:59:007, the 4 of us (me, 2 of the suspects from last year and Bill, a former list lurker) gathered in the parking lot. By 8:15, we were skinning and at 10:00AM, we were grinning at the rock that is the Sacred Altar...

I was assigned Paradise for Trail Check. It was kinda? tricky with crusty bumps, windblown, slick spots, etc. I finally felt confident about the coverage in the woods, so I checked out some goods and to be honest, it was kinda? punchy in spots. Nothing too much else to report about the day or...

The real issue at Taos is not whether or not snowboards should be banned, but rather: Is Abe's Down the Road in Arroyo Seco Still Open? 8)

Looks like some snow in the afternoon, tomorrow (2/16). Check out the webcams on http://www.madriverglen.com Yeah, we'll be alright for this weekend.

Well, last weeks 2 foot dump pulled us from the brink of disaster. Conditions were variable, though, with tricky slick spots amongst the skier packed snow. Tricky conditions meant that we were pretty busy with incidents ? much more than we are accustomed to. An off-piste incident made me...

:shock: http://www.tuckerman.org/avalanche/index.html No need to comment on today's (2/11/2005) Avalanche Report. It sez' a lot about the storm!
