Drove up late last night, stayed in Lake George and then to Bolton valley this morning. Rode there from 10 to 2...only hit Wilderness lift this time. Vista wasn't running and I mainly did Timberline side last time. A ton of snow in the trees and soft snow on the rest of the runs. Outlaw woods probably had the best snow of the day

Happy World Telemark Day from Greek! Looks like the band might get back together

Better than expected. sun was out in force for second half of the session. Jlaw, Atomic, Ben, Mix, Boo Bear, Becky Boo, and oh yeah, dont forget Ryan or he gets bent. Sunny and pleasant in the lot.

Hit Pats peak in southern NH this morning. Really crowded but it's a pretty well run mountain and fun for a few hours. Grooming was good, especially on the cascade basin side. Some nice trees off of the hurricane trail but icy so I didn't spend much time there. Getting some Thai food at the place @Johnny Law recommended and then I'll hit Dartmouth skiway until they close at 4

Today was way better than I thought and for a spring day super nice. It's a rare treat to be able to actually see the trails. While not every single square mm was mint I didn't think anything was bad and most of it was quite playful. If tomorrow is anything other than awesome/terrible I'll be shocked.

Super fun morning..Lapped TCS a few times...With no kooks standing at the bottom you could just hammer on through.MS side started to get slightly rowdy after 9,but still fun to ride.Switch was down hill racer all morning...Weather was fantastic and gave a good vibe to the morning..

After Bolton, I drove the 15 minutes to Cochrans ski area. Small place with like 350' of vertical but it's a cool non profit place and for 19 bucks, I wanted to check it out. They have a t bar and a rope tow. No lift tickets, just the honor system whether you pay or not. Underprivileged kids pay nothing or whatever they can afford, which is cool. Grooming was actually really good and I had fun. Only complaint was the t bar lifty playing Nickelback repeatedly. Did 6 runs and now at Zero Gravity Brewing in Burlington.

Back to the hotel in Southern NH, I hung out for a bit and decided to get a brisket sandwich at 603 BBQ in Concord. Some of the best brisket I've had...just on a regular potato roll but I actually prefer that over a thick kaiser roll or whatever. Took my sandwich next door to Lithermans Limited brewing and had a pale ale with my sandwich. Then I hung out at Feathered Friends Brewing, which is a bird themed brewery I guess. Live music, dogs, pretty cool place. Chocolate peanut butter stout was really good, but all the beers were great. interesting artwork in the bathroom, especially the teabagging art. Trying to hit ski areas that I haven't been to, so tomorrow's plan is Pico until early afternoon and then maybe Saskadena Six for a few hours on Indy pass

Fuuuuuck yea !

After panang curry and Thai spring rolls and browsing the thieves of the week. I drove the 20 minutes to Dartmouth skiway. Pretty crowded parking lot but no lift lines. The terrain there is pretty fun, but I only got to hit the Holts ledge side for 6 runs. Soft snow, kinda slow...Don Wardens was closed for racing. After one run, my back binding felt pretty loose. The ankle strap broke in half but the hard plastic part was still working. Made for some funky turns but it was raining at that point so I didn't bother going to get another board from the car. I'd like to get back here on a weekday and check out the rest of the trails, but looking at the map, Holts looked like more fun

Cochrans is usually only open late afternoon/evening during the week. They normally have $ 5 Fridays from 3 to 8 but their hours this past week were 9 to 4 with it being VT vacation week. I enjoyed it there way more than I expected. Pats was a fun place but really crowded. Still cool to check out. I actually hit that instead of Ragged expecting less crowds but that didn't work out I'll post a Dartmouth/brewery report in a bit

Sick sick sick trip ! Pats peak had the only EC FWT skier way back but God damn it got fancy. Cochrans is the skiing family like from way back but also Ryan Cochran Seigle. Sooooo fucking dope you went there sometimes you can't even tell if they are open or not. NE is deep right now, Jay has more snow than alot places out west. It's the best I've seen since at least 14.

However, I hate this post. But I am identical in every way with Alice 27.

I love this post.

Smart you’ll get an extra 42 hours out of your brakes doing that.

Yeah northern VT has a ton of snow right now. Bolton is a really fun mountain. Jay obviously has better terrain but there are a lot of trees and stuff to explore at Bolton.

Here now. Came expecting a spring night sunset sesh on uncrowded slopes. Arrived to flash backs of elementary school skate night at the roller palace on Roosevelt boulevard. Not sure what I was thinking. Conditions are probably a 3.8. sugar bumps. At least there was the sunset.

Tips up tips up no pizza when you need to french fry!!

2/27/25 Batted about the idea of hitting the newest CO ski slope, Echo Mountain, but at 600ft vert, that idea was replaced with going back to Loveland. It’s fast becoming the slope of choice and worth the double-down. Up 2 then lapped a few off 6 as a warmup. Groomers were good but off them was wind-blown and baked, so we decided to go higher. Up the 9 there was a nice cornice in Patriot bowl that had good snow so we lapped that a few times. After lunch we headed back up the 9 and instead dropped into Castle Rock. The snow wasn’t as good as expected. Headed over to Chet’s to end the day. Avalanche bowl, Zoom, Cat’s Meow all held very nice snow and we called it a day. No complaints! Dinner was grilled chicken and stir fry veggies and cheesecake.
