avy danger was low. i knew i had to get out at exactly the right time before the wet slide danger increased. nice eye’s spotting that terrain trap. timing was everything.

yes i booted it in this particular spot. however, there is another gem i shredded in late december. a dawn patrol mission before work. we just kept getting slammed and i…[Read more]

contact a shop in the area that carries voile. closest place is REI in NJ. order through them. do a zip code search on voile-usa.com. does the burton shop in Soho carry voile hardware? call them. they may be able to order for you too. support your local shops. pretty soon all we’ll have is the internet and everything will be made in china.

sick! everyone needs to check out one of the last films titled “avalanche runs with jeremy jones” if you haven’t seen the film “draw the line”.

HOLY SH*t!

have fun guys (and gals)! i’m bummed i won’t be joining you. as always, be safe.

nomad: no club funds? oh well…

nice! cooke rocks. need a sled though for sure. republic is a looong way up if i remember correctly.

there is something very similar to that face “that could keep you busy for awhile” in the spanish peaks. the first peak up to the left from the trailhead. don’t know the name. kindof need a sled to access it in the winter…[Read more]

oh come on! there has to be some riding out there. even i’m finding some pow off lifts. don’t tell me the east is doing better.

SIDENOTE/PLUG: all we need is snow now! (edit)

good to know Flanz. thanks.

i skinned up cannon on saturday. a whole 6-7″. pretty much slippery grass. enough to make some turns though. one quick run. that’s it.

i heard the river is opening this weekend and they have recieved some snow as well. the loaf opens the following weekend i think.

r@1n r@!n go away!

i’ll be in VT on the 17th. 😉

careful if anyone’s heading up mt washington. not advised.

In the clouds with showers of mixed precipitation.

Highs: around 30°F

Wind: SSE 30 to 45 mph increasing to 50 to 70 mph w/ higher gusts

the cold spell is over and dropped some white for us. warming up and don’t expect the white to stick around. get out there!

hopefully cannon is h…[Read more]

good luck with your semester! 😆 does the pita pit need help? kyle might be able to hook it up. 😉

i’m assuming, our splits:

Board – NS 166 Legacy (core) with Premier topsheet
Bindings – Burton mission
Boots – malamutes
Pack – 3 diff dakine’s
Coat – pataguche puffball, golite shell, golite fleece
Pants – brand new sessions gore

sac and saddle have snotels too. check shower falls! double it. who’s been up blackmore?

Shep, i’m having trouble sending you a PM. the mail just keeps going to my Outbox and not getting sent. can you PM me your email? thanks

😯

no doubt. i’m IN!

not to sure that burton would be interested, but it’s worth a shot. doing it close by in VT would definately increase the chances of them showing up with some demo’s and such. if that happened, cool.

has anyone been out to the real splitfest? i have experienced a “scrubfest” in WY and that was very low key grassroots type of…[Read more]

p420: yep. back east. why you ask? i graduated, more professional opportunities and closer to family again for a while. just trying to figure out some info on tucks and meet some folks to do some bc with back here this year. looks like i may find out what the ice coast is all about if i head up tucks early season. 😯 keep hoping i guess.…[Read more]
