It was rad. I saw the start and finish lines on the road. Below is a pic of me summiting. The thermometer said it was 40 degrees but I overheated nonetheless and had to stop and take my jacket off and roll up my sleeves. Not sure I want to do it again on bike, I like climbs up to 14% gradient. 20% is tough.

Ok.

The powder was 3 feet deep and I couldn't turn. I had no choice because I would have skied straight into a rock or tree. id love to get better at tree skiing but need some easy and wide glades to practice on a regular basis.
-
I always think it can't happen to me, but then logically I know it can. But life's too short to worry too much so I try to have fun but err to the side of caution when I can.
-
Thanks that is truly a lofty goal to aim for!!
-
I've reviewed the trail map and not sure I have the ability to ski at JH. I stick to well groomed blue and black runs. I dont do trees because I have no clue how to turn in the deep stuff. Though I'd like to get back to JH some day to eat at Nastar Glen's favorite German alpine themed restaurant again.
-
Yes it seems radical but I didn't go back down that way, went thru Bear Creek and the western Poconos to return to the starting point in Mountain Top. Dont like going downhill that much on steep grades because I tend to hit 35-45 mph which is dangerous but fun.
-
20% grade. That's what my GPS said. It's the steepness of the hill. It's called Giants Despair near Wilkes Barre and goes from around 600 to 2100 feet at the top.
-
Steeze only goes solo on his ski safari. Plus he would be in the trees and I wouldn't see him again.
-
It was pretty rad. Climbed 1500 continuous feet which was more than Blue. 20% grades suck on a bike.
-
I thought of it maybe I can use my $100 American voucher. Or maybe Ski2Live can hook me up with some Frontier vouchers for discounted in flight airline peanuts and pretzels. Though not sure I want to deal with transporting my ski boots and RTMs through the airline system.

I am looking for trip ideas this year and considered White Face or Jay Peak. Sounds like Jay Peak would be better. Want to go somewhere different this year and I've already been to Killington and Stowe.
-
Maybe I'll go there instead of True Blue this Saturday. At least the camel doesn't think I'm a dosh.

Once I'm unfairly banned for VPN use I'll just post my annual Vermont trip TRs on Teton Gravity Maggot Research forums instead from now on.

If I'm banned for using a common VPN then I'll never ski Paradise with any PASR ever again... yes, it's skiing together even if I am 500 yards behind.

#3 is ingenious. Would you be able to ban all VPNs? Maybe ban the common IP that myself and Invisible Char use, and then you will clearly see his real IP is not mine.' Or put the common IP in an IP tracking website and you should get one of the following locations: Atlanta, Miami, or Ottawa Canada.
-
Now I'll be unjustly accused of being anyone who comes on here to troll through Windscribe Lite since I've ascertained that Windscribe Lite uses the same IPs from their FAQ section.
-
I've already provided my defense and have no further comments.

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read on the internet. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thanks for that.

Going bike riding. Atomic Root and Toast have me on Strava. If there is troll activity during this time my innocence will be proven 100%
-
Yeah most people thought so but it was only up for an hour or two and it's now permanently deleted. And yet I'm still being lambasted for it all these months later. At least eaf liked it. I miss him.
-
Yes it was all in fun but no one else liked it. Lol. Ah well I served my time for that so if I'm banned again then it will be double jeopardy.
-
No one knows who Invisible Char is. Seems like someone unhappy with Blue's opening and is just venting. People are accusing me of being him which is not true. If I would troll I would do something like Rajeev instead because reading that was hilarious
-
I read some old Rajeev posts and almost spit out my coffee laughing. Hoping for a Rajeev reappearance in my lifetime.
-
Nah too warm for skiing today maybe Saturday, have fun!!
