Thanks all for the reports!
Of course, I just heard from my little sister that ski club got cancelled tonight. Probably a good idea, but I had totally psyched myself up to go skiing tonight, even if it would be raining. Looks like I'll be there another Friday night though, perhaps with better conditions!
The whole mountain closed at 4:30 due to the rain. Better luck next time, hopfully you'll come on a day with better conditions than tonight would have been.

Hey all,
Its getting toward the end of the season and i'm still in need of a decent board. Though i am still unsure which board to get. I had my heart set on an agent but the only hesitation i have about it is that i heard the top layer peels and its not too good for all mountain riding. I heard the anthem is still much better for all mountain riding and does well in the park. I ride 70% trails and 30% park but that could change by next season. I weight around 165 lbs. and am around 5'10". I am definitely going to pick one or the other. I know most people on here have more experience with these boards than what I do, so any opinions? Thanks all
Ride DH paired with Ride Beta bindings money!
I havn't rode the Anthem or the Agent but I have an Artifact and enjoy it but its super soft and after 2 seasons of riding it the sidewall started to seperate but it still ride fine. I've heard nothing but good things about the Agent havn't heard much about the Anthem. -

Hey All,
I'm headed to Camelback Friday night, and I was curious if anyone has been there lately. If so, is the snow in good condition? The last and only time I've been there was late March last year, and the snow was crappy.
Thanks!
I was there Sun, Mon, Tues & Today this week and the conditions have been GREAT! No ice nice carveable packed powder it feels like but not sure how the Pocono conditions are gonna fare these 40+ degree days. Go during the day not at night unless you want to risk possible freeze over conditions.
I just checked accuweather, it's supposed to rain during the day Friday and the temp is going to drop at night but it should stay above freezing so it's a toss up for Friday night.

Uhh, I don't ride Frost. I ride Boulder.
But, I obviously have experience with all of JFBB.
I'm comparing the entire mountains at JFBB to the whole mountain at CB.
I was with other people at CB, so we rode the entire mountain instead of my usual park only routine.
I am a HUGE Boulder supporter. I actually get a lot of shit for it.
With that said, I liked everything about CB over JFBB, including the jump lines at CB, which I enjoyed more than Boulders.
But, the crowds and lift lines at CB absolutely RUINED it for me.
CB is definately a more entertaining mountain than JFBB IMO but TT C6 is exactly right. The weekend/holiday crowds at CB ruin it for most people who only really make it out on weekends or holidays. If you have weekday mornings off all winter than I would much rather have empty high speed quads to jump on and lap a bigger mountain with more vert than a smaller mountain with slow lifts.

nice pictures..I leave for VT is 16 hours..
Have a good time man you should have no problem finding the fresh, you going by yourself?

This was my first time at both resorts. To my suprise Killington was not as crowded as Okemo was Sunday. We spent most of our day at Killington riding from peak to peak via the K1 Express gondola the conditions were decent sugar with some icy spots here and there all and all a good day. Pico ended up being quite the adventure the next day.
We arrive at Pico at about 10 and it was pretty dead. We headed up the first quad and headed over to the summit quad and did a little trail riding we noticed the summit had gotten a couple inches of snow that night and the conditions were great. We deicided for the remainder of the day we'd play around in the Summit Glades in search of untracked pow. After a few runs getting a feel of where we can enter the woods and pop out on the lower trails we deicided to jump right into the woods from the top of the summit lift. We ended up following a line through the woods we noticed was marked by blue rectangles painted on the trees, it was all untracked. After awhile the blue makers led us out onto what looked like a freshly groomed trail completely untracked so we started riding down and quickly realized it looked like we were headed for Killington as we seen it getting closer and closer in the distance as we winded down this trail. We seen a few snowmobile tracks and thought maybe we were on a groomed snowmobile trail that lead from Killington to Pico. Halfway down the cord dissapeared and we found ourself in 6 inches of completely untracked powder until we seen a road approaching when we finally reached the bottom. At this pont I was wondering how the hell far off we were and how we were going to get back to Pico where we are parked. Turns out we were about a mile down the road from Killington and we found a shuttle service that woudl take us back to Pico and we just so happen to walk up just in time otherwise it would have been 2 hours for the next one. We told the shuttle bux driver of our adventures and he said we rode down the backside of Pico and knew exactly where we came out on the road, turns out it was a old loggingr road. Epic adventure it was, who would have figured we'd find untracked pow this week after barely any natural snowfall in over a week.

This is my first trip to Southern, VT since I was much younger. I spent a long weekend riding at Jay Peak and Stowe two season ago in March and it seems as if there is alot more to explore off trail in the North the forest is much more open. Okemos woods seemed very dense and I noticed alot of above ground snowmaking pipeline along the trails I suppose theres not to much off trail exploreing in the South? I rode Stratton 9 years ago and I remember the forest being similar.

I got up at 3am picked up a friend in Marshalls Creek and left for Okemo at 4am. We made good time pulled into the Blue Lot at 8:30 booted up and jumped on the shuttle bus to the mountain. We finally got in line for the base area lift that take you up across the mountain so you can ride down to the lifts that service the face of the mountain at 9:30 after being held up at the ticket window by some complaining asshat. We went for the Northstar Express quad which had about a 5-10 min wait and headed to the top the conditions reminded me of the Poconos carveable hardpack with some soft stuff on the sides. We took Upper Mountain Road since it was the only green we seen for a nice warmup run down to Limelight and ended up on the Gore side of the mountain. We spent the rest of the day avoiding the High Speeds and riding the Sachem Quad than hopping on the Glade Peak quad to the top since there were barely a line for both these lifts. We rode Mountain Road and cut down almost all of the trails that it intersects with a few times than went looking for a glade. It seemed like most of the easier glades were closed but we found a double black glade "Double Diamond" origional name and unfortunately found no soft snow it was bumped up and icy. We hit about every blue square we found from the Glade Peak quad for the rest of the day, most of the blacks were bumped or icy. The Zone park was closed all morning for a ski slopestyle but we got to check it out for the last run of the day was having a great run until slipped out on the last jump and wacked the back of my head. All in all a great day even though the conditions werent so great they were better than I expected having last week been so warm. To Killington we go tomarrow morning. I checked the weather and see they're supposed to get 15.4 inches Wed night in Killington but we have to leave Tuesday what crap luck

Just booked my lodging and lift tickets for Killington. Decided on Glazebrook Townhomes which are only 1/2 mile from main base area. It was a good deal thru Killington Accomodations.. the price dropped the day I book it.. so for 4 people w/ 3 day lift tickets, it came out to only $255 per person.
Wow thats a pretty killer deal, it's gonna cost me a little under that for only 200 people one night and 2 day lift tickets. How many nights are you staying?

Nips will be there Friday night through Sunday. I think he is doing the rail comp at Bear on Sunday about noon.
Nice I sha'll see him competeing than hopfully I plan to stop by and take a peak at the comp Sunday.

What's gone wrong with the back entrance access road this season? I know it usually gets all washboardy every season, but this year it seems to be exponentially worse. Has the new regime stopped
maintianing it? On Monday, there was some major heavy machinery work going on, but I could never get a look at what they were doing, perhaps starting the new hotel 
? Anyway, I'm sure they're going to need it this weekend & the following weeK!It's because the ruts in the road and I heard a few vehicles driving down it actually snapped an axel as well as other serious damage so they closed it for now. It really pisses me off to though, I love parking down by the stevenson and being able to very easily access my truck whenever I want.

Whats wrong with Floyd? I remember it being a pretty fun trail to jump into last year if its the one I remember. Just a steep drop thats at an angle facing a river?

Awesome riding conditions today.
Surface was very fast under blue skies and sunshine.
38 degrees at noon made for
bare skin and sunscreen today.
JADIP at JF
This weather is evil though I havn't been to frost, I was at Camelback and it's been beautiful as you described until about 4:45-5:30 comes around and the sun is no more and the temp drops slightly more. The surface turns to what seems like someone dumping massive amounts of granulated sugar over rough crunchy ice unfortunately. Damn this weather I'm not ready for spring conditions yet! How has boulder been at night since they don't open until 3?

Very nice little edit I like it. Bear Creek looks pretty nice this year, I've never been there.

P_Architect, good job on the progression park rebuild. The jibs are much better as they are now above the snow so new park riders can get the feel for board sliding instead of riding over a hidden box thats completely level with the snow. It's actually quite a fun little park if you happen to be comming down any trail that runs into meadows. Good job shrinking the jump in there so anyone hitting them with any kind of speed dosn't have to have that horrible flat landing there was before the rebuild. The Rhodo rebuild also looks real nice with the his/her lip options and a few jibs set up in there now but there is so much more room for jibs on skiers left side of the jumps, stick them double barrels back in there and that extra new 30' or 40' flat box I know you have hidden somewhere. Keep em off big piles like the flat down is on because it's just not neccessary as everyone complained about last years setup with the huge gaps and giant piles the jibs sat on although the flat down is set up very nice I'm definately not complaining.
Good job Will, keep up the good work it's been a pleasure this season!
DONT FORGET ABOUT BIG AIR TOMORROW!
