A few weeks ago I won Platty vouchers at the Tele Colo movie and figured what better way to celebrate World Telemark Day on Tele Sunday. The ride up on the back roads yielded a mix of sun, clouds and fog along with a bald eagle snatching up a squirrel along root 42. Arrived to a socked in Platty with the sun trying to burn thrugh but it never quite happened, temps in the mid / upperer 50's. Started on the double and ended up lapping Blockbuster. Although the entrance was a little spicy there was good coverage once you got onto the trail. bumps (*) on the left side were soft and manageable. Short beer/water break and then rode the face off the triple, good coverage and mix of nice spring snow with some sticky man made here and there. Tele'd until lunch, chicken pesto wrap and ascension pils were bangin'. Legs were cooked after ten tele runs so clamped down the heels for another 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Nice day with a beverage stop as Catskill Brewery on the way home, love that place! * bumps photo credit lifted from @Harvey at nyskiblog - i couldn't find the sun lol

I wish they would rotate that and the hip at the bottom of central park about 15d CCW so us old skate /surf heads could hit side and lip slide it like a 1/4 pipe wave !

coverage was good, hopefully get there again

Ha no nothing fast about us, total elapsed time was 1:35

Fun afternoon lap and a half at Shawnee with pizza and brews at Shawnee Craft

I saw the first civvy ride on facebook with the kids, brave family lol

theres usually at least one big boarder/skier-cross race on NMDW each year Was a nice evening, with the exception of a few slick spots and some weird rolly polly areas the snow was pretty good. Finally got a run on sidewinder! Run of the night was far right main st. I saw @momskeeztoo on the way in, looked like you had a long day lol

that's awesome, it's on my bucket list for sure. Trying to parley it in with a trip to visit family is Pittsburgh but it hasnt worked out.

shit he looks pretty good, he's older than me lol

Afternoon track ski from the house some spots were deeeeeeeep! Crick crossing, nice day for a swim?! Close, but not today motherfucker! #nevertakeyourskisoff beautiful afternoon!

last night was good, true packed powder and pretty smooth. Need some wax though, the natty snow is slow. Did 6 runs in exactly 1 hour which is a pretty good pace for me. headed over to stroudsburg to catch the Tele Colo movie and scored some Platty vouchers in the raffle

yesterday afternoon's flat light and variable surface had me skiing very spazzy, got better as the light came on and sun went down.

queen?!?!? I thought it was Wayne and Garth

I Need to to this soon for a change of scenery

Get caught in a landslide?

And take pictures of their faces when they see what an agile mofo you are on skis!

Last night they were blowing on upper main and starting to fire up fan guns on vista and midway when I left at 6:30 / 35d lol.

Anyone up tonight? May go up for a few and hit dead taco Tuesday in Easton after

Woke up to rain in the B, thought about heading North to try to find the blue line but couldn’t find the motivation. (Shoulda gone, Belle claimed 8”). Saw a break in the hourly and radar around 1:00 and headed up. They lied, soaked to the bone after 5 tele runs, snow was great though and empty. Had fun running the little patch left of Barnies, the Sherbie Simulator lol

Trash bins not on their side anymore?!

I got started at Greek Peak's Nordic Center years ago, definitely worth checking out with rental gear if not a lesson. The closest XC center is probably high point NJ. There was another one around Williamsport but not coming up on the goog There's a lot of cheap used stuff out there these days but it takes a little bit of knowledge/time to sift through to get something you'll enjoy. For someone starting who wants to do ungroomed rail trails, golf courses, parks etc I'd look forNNN BC stuff, its a little wider and more stable than classic track NNN meh better that nothing, get some altai hoks!

Group included an instructor and kids, they got lynched by the fb mob jury. Would love to know the real story, if it was a simple mistake or major dumbassedness...

that's great news! pricing looks pretty reasonable too. Havent charged up and used the aboms yet this year

A few fireman’s miles at Trex

ha i remember when blue didn't allow snowboards lol. A gazillion years ago I had a wood burton board with two metal skegs (still have it somewhere) and a kind of water ski binding, i remember tooling around with it at jack frost and getting chased off the hill fuck i'm old...
