A friend and I had been talking last year about doing Mt Washington / Tucks. Schedules and weather aligned for a day trip. We were wheels up 7:50am, touched down around 9:15am in Berlin, NH. Grabbed the "rental" (aka the town's old cop caar) and we drove the 35 minutes to the trailhead. We were on our way up by 10:30am. Similar to the last time I did Tucks with @GSSucks and @Justo8484, the Sherbie cross over was ~1.5 miles in. In reality, probably could have started skinning before that as there was snow, but we donned our boots at the cross over, ditched our shoes in the woods, and were on our way to the Hojo's. Got there around 12pm, quick snack, and then we were on our way up to the ravine floor. I was surprise to see how little snow there was compared to my previous visit, so we decided to boot up Left Gully with the option to either ski down, head back up, and then over to Hillman's for the descent. After an easy boot up, we reached the top of the ravine ~1:25pm with no wind under mostly cloudy skies (as forecasted). We decided in the interest of time, weather, and energy, we'd head over to Hillman's as there was some rain and lower clouds in the area. Quick rock scramble over and we were on our way down. Some sporty Sherbie sections always makes for a fun end to the day. Back at the crossover, on went the shoes, and in came some rain which lasted for about 20 minutes or so. It was semi-refreshing as temps were well into the 60s. We got back to the car at 4pm after an elapsed 5h30m. Unfortunately, no celebratory beer as there was still work left to be done. We enjoyed the feeling of putting on flip flops, packed up, and got to the airport around 5pm. Packed up the plane, fueled it up, chatted with an old timer for a little, and we were in the air at 5:40pm with some weather between us and our destination. We climbed to 18,000 and we were in and out of the clouds and icing conditions for most of the flight. I flew the return leg, and I managed to have a decent landing at 7:30pm despite never landing that type of plane before to finish off an awesome day.

Just saw this video. I watched this guy ski down this line last weekend. He had a spotter go ahead to make sure all clear, then a guy videoing him. He was amazing to watch.

That was pretty cool. Thanks for posting a vid that wasnt a 30 min Doug snore-fest.

4-5 inches on top of the ridge at Delaware Water Gap. Couldn't see anything from the top.

Just finished up probably my last day of the season at Snowmass. At 9am snow was already soft in the sun, but round a corner of shade and you hit ice. Hit one spot around a corner and there was all brown with one section just wide enough for skis plus a mandatory frogger hop over some rocks. Hard to see from her but this is where I stopped. Temps were 60’s with a brilliant blue sky. Stopped at the new “Cabin” for a bathroom break. Bathrooms were fancy! Had fragrance jars on the sinks. So Aspen-y! skied onto every lift, nobody there. Closing weekend next Saturday, but I feel like I got my fill today.

Actually 3” in the grass.

My father-in-law used to live across the river from that spot. I would stand on his front porch many days and look at all the potential ski lines. When the D&L trail went in I was pretty excited of the possibility of skinning up to that point. I hiked (crawled) it a couple times. There’s a 10’ high rock spine with pine trees on both sides that went up in flames last night. In February if 2014 there was finally enough snow. My niece wanted to go but the day before she cracked a vertebrae at Blue and canceled.A couple hours later she called me back and asked if I had a backpack, so I carried her stuff, She’s one bad ass girl! We started at Weissport at 10 am and skinned up 2.5 miles and after a rest at the observation platform attempted to skin up but kick turns were difficult so we figured out if we put our back against a tree it was possible. The snow was perfect but we waisted a fair amount of vertical before figuring out how to ski it. I didn’t know at the time that one of my friends had 20 acres on the north side so now it’s a half hour skin up. I’ve hiked it a couple times with my son One really cool place! I’m thinking arson off the D&L after looking at the two places early on . IMG_0543.mov

POW day

Still snowing!!! Booking a lift ticket for the 18 th 🤞

I can't wait. This is my new home mountain. Actually this is my old home mountain. 2002-2008. I get two days at Montage, Shawnee and Big Bear too so that will be fun. Wow. I remember visiting Shawnee once with a friend. It was 2004 so we were like 14. It was April, the last weekend they were open and they had an onion snow the night before. Like 6 inches. Had a blast. Wow. I got yelled at by a ski patroller at Big Bear because I was looking at a closed trail. Next time I go I'll make sure to get kicked out. Wow.

Yeah. BC season pass with Indy add-on. Maybe I'll try the Finger Lakes this year too.

he's a very good snowboarder. i allow it if you also have a plane 😃

you suck 😋

Jeff, you really are next level bougie. This is very cool.

She should visit Lake Titicaca sometime.

Did you do the Indy add on/Bear Creek pass? Shawnee can be fun. Terrain is mellow but any time I've been there in a week day it's been totally empty

I guess the majority of people consume media on the their phones these days, but I still think vertical video sucks.

I know…crazy. My daughter said she might head up today. If it keeps snowing you never know, could be open when you go. I think may 5th or something is around there is officially the closing date, but that could change. Crazy that they’re pushing 200 inches when they were in a drought the first 4 months of the season.

Snowing again. I’ll be out in mid May but I doubt they’ll be open.

An inch at my place 😳 in Southern lehigh county. I’m at 860’ . Guess backyard turns this morning.

Nah I can’t give you that satisfaction

Fo sho! You going??

@RidgeRacer you ever ski here?

My friend Katie got fingered in the finger lakes.

He apparently did 137K. More than any of Donnay's 100k+ days. He did that on days we have night skiing.

If you like to camp there’s a nice spot behind the cliff in the video. Mount Pisgah behind North st in Jim Thorpe is our go to spot for overlooks.

Which observation deck? The one up on flagstaff or the 100 mile view? Either way this sucks. Lots of homes near there. You can smell it up this way.

Rt209 shutdown though Packerton . The observation deck on the East side of the river is in danger.

Good to hear I heard during the monsoons it was raining men and your sister Jaya Singhvi was in heaven…rumor has it around Gulmarg hill station and the Tobyhanna Dunkin’ Donuts that her goat curry and rice brings all the boys to the yard..

Same here. It hits different after ski season is over though

New locker price will be $610, with a requirement that the owner is a pass holder. I guess dead people have been letting their kids and grandkids use them.

Ugh. Kept trying to attach wrong screen print and ran out of time.

Satellite hot spot and smoke forecast

Found a picture of my FIL in front. Latest word it’s done.

Jim Thorpe fire, A Bc ski line of mine. Lots of big rocks. Photo from Justin Selig storm chaser.

I like today’s weather. I have the lights off in my office and the heat off as well feels grate

This is grate! I hope it's winter through July. /S

Yeah if ski season is over around here then warm tf up. Low supposed to hit 19 degrees tonight.
