    LOL. We drove 3 hours each way for a day trip up to MRG. I clipped a small tree on the bobsled track heading out to the 19th hole and sprained my knee, went in pounded some Sip-O-Sunshines, then decided to poke around some rabbit holes around Paradise but not way out to Octopus Garden or the 3 Cliffs. Watching the GoPro video from my helmet later I didn't realize at the time I was singing and skiing to the Cha-Cha Slide.

    DAMN

    Yup, and Wildcat can get 20"+ but the wind will load and scour it so it seems like a regular day on some trails. I loved Bracket but some of my favorite trees at SL are still the small areas just south of the Spillway X-Cut. Steep and the snow just gets piled in there.

    Saddleback is really crushing it. I heard there is already minimal lodging available for the winter.

    Yea tweeting about it is unacceptable and that model of tracking is highly questionable. The peer review process has been quite busy recently. I've done more/gotten more requests to review manuscripts since March than the previous couple years. Think a lot of folks are diving back into older/previously collecting data sets.

    Fall smallmouth pattern is in full swing. Stacking up at the edges of pockets/coves and fattening up on perch.

    Buying that pass yesterday had me watching our old videos in the background while working today. Got thinking about getting the legs ready since no hockey this year.

    Random thought, I'm curious how places like Jay, Stowe, Whiteface, Killington, Stratton, and Loon are going to deal with the issue of enclosed lifts. K, Stratton, and Loon especially. Less of an issue for Cannon...I guess the same for Jay because their upper mountain lifts rarely spin lol.

    Hard to beat the Indy pass. $199, blacked out holidays (we don't bother then anyway for the most part). Plan on 2 days at Berkie, Catamount, Mohawk, Pat's, and maybe Cannon (if Tramline and some decent stuff is open). Getting to Magic and Bolton will be bonuses. Hope to hit Greylock a few times and finally be able to ski the Powerline.

    K sounds pretty rough too, damn. I'd want to get away from there. There are so many other places that have little drama and are all about loving being on the mountain or outside.. My home mountain has nothing of the sort in terms of toxicity, and its almost closed multiple times or had little/no snowmaking or running lifts in previous years lol
  11. PowderBeard
    You have more than that up there (e.g., that stunning old portrait of Patrick Swayze in the woods lol).

    Any out will be a bonus day. It may never start or end at anytime.

    There was a large barbed wire fence ~15 years ago to the left of the summit double. Then my buddy had his pants sliced open while skiing Carter Glades probably 7-8 years ago. I know the ski area boundary is old barbed wire on skiers left side of the area. There is/were also several old electric wire fences for keeping livestock and sap lines scattered around the woods of the lower mountain. It gives a new meaning to "hidden obstacles."

    That is a sweet place to be in terms of NH skiing. Don't know if I would ever leave Wildcat or Black Mountain. Anyone know if the woods of Black Mountain are still loaded with barbed wire?

    Idk how they will enforce it but the county sherrifs were pulling over lots of out of state plates in the spring. Not sure if you've hit it but Platty is pretty amazing and cheap option as well. Probably averages more snow than Gore and definitely better conditions than Whiteface. Their elevation saves them and their marked and unmarked terrain is pretty special.

    Yea must be short supply. Oil is so cheap, just topped off for $1.49 a gallon. I believe a cord of decent hard wood btu wise only equates to about 120 gallons of oil.

    This dude is pumped for winter... https://westernmass.craigslist.org/grd/d/hinsdale-seasoned-firewood/7180524369.html

    About .5" and temp dropping to 61*. Torched and steined again.

    I checked out some videos of Bousquet after Berkshire East acquired it. Their upper liftline looks like the most technical skiing in Mass with big rocks and ledges. Wouldn't mind returning to Catamount after 15 years. Always a fun steep hill.
  20. PowderBeard
    Not sure, luckily there are plenty of spots within 90 minutes and a quite a few in the Berks that get a lot of snow given VT's quarantine procedures.
  21. PowderBeard
    Trying to do reservations is going to be a mess. Lots of skinning for us this winter. Makes it easier with the baby as well.
  22. PowderBeard
    Yup, definitely got some 30 mph or so. Power flickered while teaching on zoom.
  23. PowderBeard
    66* and heavy rain.
  24. PowderBeard
    Yea that is very apparent. I thought it was not modeled to really push north for 3-4 more hours though.
  25. PowderBeard
    Clearing has started and the sun is coming through. Burptown waits...
