    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.

    He put down excess fertilizer during a torch week to burn it up for pics. Some next level trolling commitment right there.

    LOL

    Yea, those mushrooms are pretty amazing.

    Yup, basically zero sleep between 1-4am due to the thunder and lightning. Another inch or so over down.

    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.

    Better heat than snow in Denver. I don't know if I have ever seen a city deal with snow worse than Denver. Their strategy is don't bother plowing because the sun will come out and melt it all eventually. Was there in February for a conference and they got 5-7" over 2.5 days. Never saw a plow and the roads were a disaster around the city.

    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.

    Yup. My grandmother's house in RI was built in 1732, needless to say its a bit drafty. Even our home was built in the late 70s and one of the first things I did was stuff insulation and spray all around the foundation.

    Yup, had our windows open until around 10pm, went to bed with the house at 65*, felt great.

    No dews but a TORCH!

    Only torch will be from some heaters kicking on in the early morning hours. Got to love August.

    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

    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?
  20. PowderBeard
    I guess I can officially say it now since the sun is out lol

    Yea we were up skiing, had a short-lived hour stomach bug hit me while skiing at MRG, tried toughing it out but ended up puking off the lift a few times. Took the following day off, felt better, hadn't eaten in almost two days, ended up putting it down in less than 10 minutes. The day I can eat red meat again I'll make the 7 hour round trip up just for that burger.

    It's been brightening up, still is. Your mountain must be socked in.

    I just don't know how Ritchie is in when they have Studnicka who puts shots on net, doesn't take dumb penalites, and can actually skate with Coyle.
