Great report! Fun to see some action in the backcountry... However, i have a short technical question: Why don't you include the picture in your post? Why do you put a URL in there instead of the actual pic with the IMG tag? Cause it makes it pretty hard to follow the text and pics at the same...

Damn! You're right... I did share my "secret" with you! lol! You're making good use of it! Now Vermont is getting a lot more of hi-res pics from Google Earth so reports will get more interesting! Ride on!

Nice and slick report! People were all over the backcountry this w-e to avoid the crowds! I had friends skinning on Camel's Hump and a couple of other friends who ventured around Big Jay. They also decided to check out a couple of spots around Jay... Everyone got some goods...

Got a call from Jay this morning... At 8AM there was at least 1.5H wait to cross the border! Customs are just ridiculous! Jay will loose money in the end... That's for sure! Before it was the speed traps and now it's the customs... Jay Peak does not know how to make people feel welcome when...

Hey man! Why did you ask about Vermont if you end up in Maine??? :lol: Just kidding! Hope you had a blast! I've never been to Sugarloaf... What's the distance there from Montreal? How long of a drive? 2 hours from Sherbrooke isn't so bad... Did you go out for more today?

I just called my parents up at Jay... apparently, it's still blowing hard right now... Probably going to be the same as today... Jet and Bonnie... My opinion, if it still snows tomorrow at Jay, expect the Flyer and Tram to be on hold... If it's sunny or just overcast, everything should be...

I would head out to: -Sutton: It might be very windy tomorrow... Sutton keeps it's snow pretty well.... -Stowe: expensive but... Might be swepped... or over-crowded... you never know... -Sugarbush could be a safe bet... -Smuggler's Notch is pretty closed by... but i've never been in winter...

Hey congratulation Don for dragging your carcass to 3rd place! Seems like thos huge 2.5 tires in the summer do you good for the climbing! :D

Hey Don! Following your friend RedEyes' opinion, you shouldn't be out in the BC! It's just not safe! lol! Good to know you're still samping the goods!

Thanks everyone for all the support! I don't like going under the knife... But after 6 dislocations, i don't have a choice anymore... I'm always able to ride... and mountain bike also... But i'm always affraid it will happen again... Went to the doc for some tests this morning... Operation is...

Yeah, i've seen them up there also... Not the most confortable position... But the view must be nice... And if you think the Freezer is cold... hmmm..... I'm just hoping they're wearing some sort of harness!

We went up to Jay today even tough it didn't snow much this week... Like River said, all lifts had problems at some point of the day... Jay needs to take care of that... At one point, ALL lifts were down... We were in the freezer and the chair stopped... We looked and could see the Tram bouncing...

Nah... Sorry, that's not something i do... Even tough it's sometimes very tempting... @Patrick, JimG: Well, everyone in the group had prior BC experience. 2 of them were just coming back from a 10 day trip in the Kootenay's... Everyone had the proper skills. But hey, i was just "Keepin the stoke"!

And where we were, steeps and rocks weren't an issue... Think of something that looks like BBP... Birch trees and mellow slope...

Hey there stranger! Thanks for the feedback? I'm sorry if i forgot to ask you before i went... But did you follow me 'cause i never mentionned of where i went... But really, what does it matter to you? Scared of loosin' a few inches of precious snow that you and others "local" can enjoy...

Lots and lots of snow... Way above knee deep while riding... Unfortunately, wind blown... so not as light as expected... Very Very cold... but climbing keeps you warm. Location: Sorry, can't tell Review: Not sure it was worth the trouble... even tough it looks very accessible... Above...

Yep! That's right... Things turned sour on Dec 30th i believe... Jan 1st was total crap!

I'll be riding in the backcountry around Jay Peak this weekend... But if the winds are pretty strong, we might try something else... No matter what, it's snowing a bit in Montreal right now... I hope it will snow a lot at Jay... 6 in for tomorrrow morning could be even better!

I was going to say it was the instructor trail... But that trail wasn't all the way were the Can-Am is now... It was more where deliverance now is... When you use to get to the top of the bonny quad, there was a small clearing that you could see as you reach the top. The trail use to get you...

Could it go back to something like this: :shock:
