  1. No shit, thanks man that is some eye opening shit about JH. I knew alot of them made it up but I always thought JH was for sure due to their lease restrictions. You learn knew shit everyday. As an aside a splice of the tram cable must be a pretty interesting job....
  2. We left our cabin around 10am and were up top by 3. Its 3.7 miles and around 3000 vert, the first 2 miles or so are easy trail with maybe 800 vert gain. The difficult part is making sure your in the right drainage and then navigating that drainage. The drainage is really only tight for 1/4 or 1/2 mile but it has two sections that are tricky with skins on. Additionally the boot up the slide was a little slow as lower down the lead guy would be going in to the knee. Regardless we weren't moving very fast, we almost never do. We may be the lazy bunch of tourers ever which is why I think almost anyone can experience the bc. Once we got skis on we were out and back to the camp in an hour/hour and a half and we were seriously fucking around. You could do it in a day for sure but you would have to be moving though once out of the drainage you could negotiate the trail in the dark. One thing to note is that DEC blazed certain portions of this trail with blue and navy blue blazes because theoretically its two trails. Why they don't use more than three colors I'll never know but it can be a little confusing if your not also navigating spatially. If you ever want detailed directions just let me know.
  3. If you lease from the NFS you close when they say. Jackson closed yesterday because they lease and the NFS says here come the elk and all that shit so no more lifts. It kinda sucks but it is their land....jealous of Jordan wish we had 3 more months here.
  4. We always get the precip its just that lots of times the cold air is gone by now. For whatever reason it has stayed cold up north, VT got 4-6" yesterday out of low precip, Daks are 8-10ft deep in April and they almost always go before the Greens. Unless there is a major warmup the Prezzis will go to August. I think somebody said they are doing tux around 4/20 prepare for cold as shit.....
  5. 200 isn't bad but the problem with the daks is the weather too much freeze thaw and wind. I have had probably six trips there junked because of ice. 3 trips to marcy to ski the cone with no luck
  6. Peggy o is one of two decent huts on the ec the other is crag at king which is the tr from last year. No 10th mt on the ec Peggy is 300 a night which is pricey, normaly we do the leanto but there were some noobs on this trip. They also have grace camp which sleeps 6 and is a buck fifty. I'm glad people enjoy this tr hopefully it gets some more people into bc skiing on the ec.
  7. Some dude who works for CB who sometimes posts PR shit
  8. Place: Daks - Gothics/True North Time: 4/1 - 4/3 Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPB2uZZV3HU Weather: Total dumpage didn
  9. Too many pow turns to remember which one was the best but up there was Solly two years ago. Snowed ridiculous amounts for 3 days. Next day bluebird, 4% snow and 25 with nobody around. That's like dream perfect. Wormed are way around into a fav area with big old Bristle Cone pines and boom just fucking epic turns run after run. I'm not sure if that was the best but its one that sticks out in my mind. Had some dope runs at Jay.....Hirafu....1000 other places but that day really sticks out in my mind.
  10. Nice ! Go to Tuxs, everyone should go to Tux's at least once. Taking my brother for his first kinda BC trip sometime in May.
  11. Really cool of CB, can't be there but still really cool.
  12. All I know is Spring Mt. is the greatest mt. in the universe.
  13. Dude I'm down for some $$$ but I'm getting ready to run out the door, somebody bump this monday.

    indeed, I'm hoping the east wind drives all that snow smack into the face were skiing.

    GFS shows rain for the coast maybe up to 90miles inland. Accuweather says maybe 1-2" for NYC area.

    GFS was showing 1-2ft for virgina to vt Certainly don't think we'll see that but still pretty cool potential for April.
  19. Good shit gents, looks like a real nice trip.
  20. Hence why I wrote "60ft of propagation is what you are talking about." Reading is fundamental
