Kton on Sunday and MRG Monday.
-
If the weather looks nice...I might swing up. I still have a debt to pay.
-
There were reports from all over Vermont saying that it was the best snow that people ever experienced in Vermont. Sure enough it was. After 20" from Fri-Sat, there was another 6" over night and it kept dumping all day for another 6" Sunday. It was truely EPIC, it was the lightest snow I ever skied in this side of Utah. It was the kinda day that made a season.

The areas run out of skiers before they run out of snow.

Why do you ski on skis for two days, and then sell them? Wouldn't it be cheaper just to demo the skis for two days. It's the same thing, minus a few hundred.
As for the skis, who, that is serious about skiing, skis on Blizzards.
I have skied on skis for one run, then sold them. I have sold skis that I bought before I even took them out of the wrappers.
As far as not being a serious skier skiing Blizzards.
The level of intelligence is remarkable here. -
I picked up a pair for myself and I know where there is another pair. These are FIS legal skis and real beefy. The Vist system is awesome and bulletproof. Bindings are a 6-14 DIN.
These skis have less than 2 days on them. $400.00

My bad....No can do. I have to pick my son up at the train Monday. I thought he was coming in Monday night at 10, turns out, it is Monday morning he is coming in.
Just as well, I should rest my knee another week anyway.
-
I won't be there that morning since I have work...but we need a PASR member in attendence to witness Philpugs trip to Blue..
They open that day at 7:30AM because it's a holiday..
Does Finndog count?
-
I am trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. Taking care of my obligation to ski Blue and to try out my knee before I head back to Vermont next week. IF and right now it is a big IF, I head up Monday, it will be in the AM, getting there for first tracks and out when it starts getting crowded around 10-11ish. Another IF, if I go, I will be taking it easy.
Right now, it is still up in the air.

My wife tore her ACL and MCL last year and is 100% this year. I might be back on snow at the end of this month with my Strained MCL. After 2 weeks is still hurts and I don't think I could ski on it today if I wanted too. even at Blue..where there is a Subaru day.
-
I saw on Epicski that Phils injury isn't that bad so I guess we'll see him at Blue later this month or in March..I can't wait to ski with Philpugilese..
You should know you should't believe everything you read on the internet.
-
Ouch I've never run into someone who did that before. Did the boots fit right? I usually find it really hard to hurt myself below the waist, it is usually head/arm/shoulder injuries.
I was in hardshell Raichles...unusual but true.
-
Good luck with that. Do you know when you'll find out for sure? If its bad and they say no more skiing just switch to snowboarding - a lot less work for your knees. My girlfriend and my other friend have torn their meniscus and they ride with a brace and have no problems on steeps/jumps/rails anything - snowboarding is way safer for lower body injuries.
No snowboarding for Phil, I blew out my ankle boarding...two screws in it.
-
I know...I ain't all too happy about it. I was supposed to be back at Kton this weekend and MRG the following. I have Steamboat booked for March 3-10 too.
-
This was not intended but...I might not make it to Blue as I promised. Another Bear goes down. I will uphold my end of the bet, it just might not be this season.
-
OK, I have 2 pair of skis that are similier, these and some Seths. I ordered these early on and wasn't sure if I was going to see them and got the Seths "just in case" and low and behold the Goodes did arrive. It is an unbeleavably light ski perfect for someone who wants a ski for back country. I would have no quams tearing up the Seths at MRG or eastern trees, but not a ski of this caliber. I am tempted to put some AT bindings on them, but I know I won't get full use out of them.
I am not actively selling them, but is someone is really looking and wants needs them, I would be willing to part with them. PM me with your thoughts.

TWIN-TIP, BIG MOUNTAIN, MIXED SNOW, OFF-PISTE AND BACKCOUNTRY SKIING - The twin-tip VISIONTM 96 is the perfect Big Mountain ski. It is excellent for high speed Big Mountain skiing. The twin-tip design will help you negotiate those tight couloirs. If you find yourself in less than ideal skiing conditions, the VISIONTM 96's sidecut will easily cut through the ice and wind crust. Great backcountry skiing. It reduces uphill climbing effort by over 50%. It also provides a very stable ride down all off-piste terrain because of its Carbon Fiber construction. It performs amazingly well on packed snow conditions, too. Available in three lengths (175cm, 185cm and 195cm). Ski color: Black / Green Graphics 126/96/113mm 1200grams

Eh, not going. I am going to stay home and wash the car and clean out the garage.
-
Was the Nordica van at Frost today?
-
Stop being a Sally and go skiing Phil..and bring your buddy Ron(finndawg) with you..
Still thinking... IF I go...I will be wearing retro and be easy to spot out.
-
This is looking real bad...even with a free ticket and a demo..should I even bother?
-
Cool Beans Phil, it has to be a day when I can also make it....oh yeah..why are your boots missing a buckle???
Not missing..good things always happen in three's.
Lets see what this weather brings and if its worth heading up or not.
-
Sorry for you, Good for me. Skis have been sold.
Possibly next on the market.
07 Blizzard Titan Nines
07 K2 Seths
05 Atomic M10/Neox 412
Keep posted.

Who do the Eagles play? Is that day free for Suburu owners? Philpug we need to start scheduling a date for Blue..I'm thinking maybe in late February when they have more trails open and packed powder conditions..
Iggles/Giants is the late game. Yes, we have to do Blue yet, might look at a Sunday later this month..or a Monday twilight.
-
I know its not Blue, but I will be up there 1/7 for the Subaru/Nordica day. I will be in a blue Subaru shell/grey pants/grey Giro Fuse/slime green Kryptons. I plan on getting there early and bugging out by 2 at the latest to get home to watch the Iggles.
3/18 in Vermont

I know..if I don't make it, I have only myself to blame. I am gonna try to make it up this Sunday, weather permitting. I have some 08 Elans to get some runs on.
