Refueled with 2 well-earned pints Friday night - things got tough 'n hairy on I-89 ...... but as a Jay Peak patroller once told me "if it's Hell on the highway, then it's gonna' be heaven on the hill". Mad some fresh tracks with my truck in the parking lot - spooning 'em, making tracks...

Mad River Glen. Wildcat, too.

With high hopes, I was on the road Friday night headed for the Holy Land. Let's see, with snow showers in the forecast, I figured 2-4" would fall on Stark Mountain that night and another 2-3" on Sunday, thus giving a 2 day total of 6-12" prior to the 2 foot dump that would surely fall on Sunday...

Grab the musket, powder, shot, bayonet and report to Lexington Green! It was time to rumble! We moved gear to the lifts and carried it up The Single - it's tough work but we love it! Electricity was everywhere! Beaver was outstanding! - I'll bet Ward Cleaver never had so much fun with the...

OK, per our plans, we opened on Saturday .......the big bad Practice Slope, all 350 verts on snowmaking from the 2 cannons. With the vigorous snowfall in process, I was looked forward to earning 'em the next day! I saw Peter and informed him that we would not be opening the Main Mountain the...

I had 1 floating holiday to burn off and the weather wouldn't cooperate for weeks until I ran outta' time last Friday. After a rough workout on Thursday night w/ my trainer, I struggled to crawl outta' the sack early Friday morning. But, my rule is to live your days off to the fullest and I my...

As usual, I expected a miracle in the form of 4-6" to fall overnight ....... so, when I woke up on Saunday morning I was treated to snow dumping at the rate of 1/256th of an inch per hour :roll: . Here we go again. I thought that Perhaps I could get some palatible skiing at SBN like I had...

Don't do it ....just say NO ......go home, dammit ......don't do it. This is what the voice inside my head told me this morning as I trudged up to the ticket window. What I thought would have a route to the bottom turned out to be non-existent - I think that last week, my arse made a phone...

First of all, keep in mind that I was indeed born yesterday (though not this morning)...... :oops: So, I woke up very early Saturday morning and hustled up to Jay Peak, hoping to make my 2 turns of the year - 1st was Thanksgiving if you can call 'em turns - AND catch this forecasted "dump"...

Oh my, the poll reports 1 vote sayin' it was an honest mistake. . . . . . Gee, I wonder who casted that vote? :lol: How much ya' wanna' make a bet it was Roemer. Then he bungled the "cc" on an e-Mail. This is like watching an episode of "The Brady Bunch" ........let's see, Marcia wanted to...

Hmmm ....I have not kept up with FTO or a lot of the Internet for that matter. So much to keep up with and I guess I just don't have the stamina to keep up with it. Is JoeGM really leaving us? I hope not. He can be a little obnoxious at times, but so what, he adds character - deal with it...

Picture labelled "Mayhem" is known as "The Bowling Alley". Well, at least it used to be. I have not skied Killington since April, 1997.

It was that time of year again - time for the Thanksgiving Club to celebrate! .....did I say celebrate? :shock: Threats of rain and freezing rain never materialized, but WaWa's snowmaking firepower did materialize earlier in the week :D . Denis, JimB, ConnorB, Dana gathered and we were not...

Looks like our own Woodi made some nice turns on 'da Toll Road: Turns on Whiteface Kinda' reminds me of a stormy Thanksgiving Weekend (1994) when I was hiking up there postholing to the summit from the base of the extinct Marble Mountain (long day).

Last year, three of us took on a big challenge http://tinyurl.com/s3af9 and were rewarded with adventure and "goals" accomplishment. This year, things got much easier. We were able to drive all the way down the 90km of logging roads to the trailhead for the 2800 foot hoof up and rather than...

I recall that mid-March through the end of April was unusually cold and snowy. I sked The Chin for the first time on First Day o' Spring and then I recall skiing the Julios Chutes at Killington towards the end of April. Yeah, closings happen due to lack of skiers - again, where are these...

CJ Turner was a somewhat prominent bump skier from the early 1990's who shredded 'em mostly at Killington. Nice guy. From southern New Hampshire. I recall he was on the Pro Mogul Tour ....does that exist anymore? Heh, I find this thread odd in that it suggests that bump skiing isn't...

Thanx CJ (are you CJ Turner?), I enjoyed your post. I happen to think that bump skiing is an important part of skiing. One of my highlights from watching the Olympics over the years was watching Donna Weinbrecht get the Gold in the 1992 Olympics. Like, ummm .....guys, I was only asking for...

Holy Fecal Matter. Sounds like a major and intricate effort. Was there a time when ski areas would place hay bales prior to the season and let 'em get covered with snow in order to make bumps? ....or was that some urban legend sorta' thing? Does Burpee know about this seeded bump thing? :lol:

What are seeded bumps?
