Nah I can’t give you that satisfaction

@RidgeRacer you ever ski here?

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

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.

where was @theprogram4?

damn that's some good distance. I assume a lot of flatter sections? how's that on your tele setup? i dread flat sections with my setup.

I went to CB yesterday mid-afternoon. Was very soft, but super low traffic so pretty damn smooth. The blue barrels were skiing well in the base area...snow was melting fast.

@Johnny Law and I were there today. Wasn't bad. Always forget how small CB is.

End of season parking lot party will be this Sunday, 3/23.

Doesn't happen at the Premier counter 🤷‍♂️

i see almost nobody on those chairlifts. skiing is great when it's that empty.

Snowboarders suck 🫠

Today was better than expected. Sucks @GrilledSteezeSandwich's panties were still wet from Sunday even though he didn't ski.

People like @mute1080 ask why we keep coming to JH. It’s because when it snows, it doesn’t get any better. The hobacks were bottomless right to the cat track. That’s 2600 vertical feet of amazing skiing. Today was a top 3 hobacks run for me, and I love sharing it with people. I’ve had some amazing days at JH, but watching other people experience it is so much fun.

woo hoo GX010067.mov

Yes today was v good

Conditions were 11/10 today.

@Dirtwolf and I did some inspection today. 800ft vertical foot run near Blue. Needed some more snow but was good enough for the wiggle.

Nothing remarkable about today. Razors was 11/10 on the first run, but the glacial ice popped up on the second run. Everything else was a little chunky. Shouldn't be complaining since it's not even Jan 1 and they're going to be 100% but conditions were better on Monday than they were today, despite the low temps.

Today was awesome.

The few times I've been to RT on the way home from the DC area, I've seen people tailgating. Parking doesn't get any closer than it does there, though. The place is nothing special but somewhere new is always nice.

I'll be there

done
