  1. Just ordered a new pair of snowboard boots...Burton Photon, should be an upgrade to the ones I'm replacing.   The boa lace was shredded and while messing around with it before attempting to replace it, it broke anyway. The eyelets for the laces are pretty messed up too...might see if buckmans or True Blue wants to take a shot at replacing the lace so I have a spare pair of boots

    Highly recommend Equilibrium in Middletown, NY if that is on your way back home! 

    Yep, that's where I was planning on going.   I'd like to stop at sloop but they are closed on Mondays

  3. Bolton and Mt ellen both look kinda rough today from the conditions report and the boa lace on my boot is about to break anyway so I'll skip riding.  I'll try to hit Orvis in Manchester on the way home and then maybe a brewery

    When I was a kid Allentown had a Hilton and it later became a holiday inn and now its an apartment building. What did the upgraded room come with?  In Silverthorne I arrived at the Hampton Inn 3 hours before check in and thought I was going to have to sit in the lobby and charge my phone but I lucked out and they gave me the best Suite in the entire hotel.  It had a foyer, wet bar, couch...even a microwave.  They knew I booked through united airlines so maybe they thought I was a Pilot or an executive.  

    Upgraded room is just a View of lake Champlain vs no view and a free drink during cocktail hour

  5. Uber told me me there were no ways home so after 4 brewery stops, I walked through sidewalks looking like this for a couple miles and saw a giant dick statue/rocket ship, while carrying a bunch of beer, until I made it back to my hotel.  Might hit Bolton or mount Ellen tomorrow or might just hit more breweries...both sound great

    I didn’t even have to zoom in to know that was the Hilton...that’s where I stayed when I first visited Burlington with my parents in high school.  You used to be able to go from the back of the Hilton through the Burlington square mall and pop out on church street.  Back in the days when Bernie Sanders was mayor, the whole city was redeveloped...buildings and streets were removed for the mall and church street marketplace, designed by the same guy as Pearl street marketplace in @Barbbeloved Boulderado and the old industrial areas along lake champlain were removed to create a greenway.

    Notice the friendly @toast21602 on that map too. I had a different hotel booked but canceled yesterday morning since i didn’t know what my plans were,  booked the Hilton for $50 less and got an upgraded room

    Enjoy Burlington...that’s where I went to college.  

    Yeah staying downtown at a Hilton...price was actually reasonable and walking distance to some breweries.  Burlington seems pretty cool

  9. At Bolton valley today.   Started out rough, heavy rain and no visibility when I got here but it's not bad now.  Tarponheads friend Paul met me up here and got a morning ticket.   Paul is awesome and towed me a few times when it was a really flat traverse.   Snow is soft and pretty slow in spots

  10. Ah ok.  I'm doing Bolton valley tomorrow but would possibly shoot over to Gore Monday.   Monday doesn't look great either some snow and rain further north and all rain to the south.   Gore looks awesome.   They were sold out last month when I was here but I'd like to get there next year

    Wanna ride Bolton valley tomorrow?

  12. Some other glade and then Timbuktu again...rode most of the day with Enjorales and pops, then cut over to the Jet lift a little before 2.  Was gonna do saddleback tomorrow but calling for freezing rain in the morning.   I'll make a last minute decision in the morning but probably hit Bolton valley and then stay in Burlington and hit some breweries.
