What I'm most impressed with is that must be a North Korea level lock down on the thermostat. Like my daughter would ninja that shit back up to 71 no time flat.
The pilot light is not lit, so any fiddling with the thermostat is done in vain.
If only they all knew that all I do is flip a switch in the basement to fire up the pilot light! I make it sound like a complicated procedure.

Pretty fuckin cold in my house this morning. First time I've been tempted to fire up the old furnace but I held strong.

Big leaf mulching day. Its like my house has some type of magnetic leaf field.....i feel like every leaf that falls within 200 feet of my house is in my driveway and yard.
Me too. I have to mulch the leaves every week this time of year or it builds up to be too much.

After much research, I just got lazy and got myself some Altai HOK skis. Backcountry cross country skis are its own category, but sort of just seem like tele skis. I was looking hard at the Alpina Discovery 68’s. I dare you to find ANY info about these on their website. I double dare you to find a place that actually sells them. Guess I would have to fly to Slovenia and take European delivery.
Was also looking at the Fischer S-Bound series. Again, seems like a unicorn and couldn’t find them in stock anywhere. The shops around here seem to focus on the skimo crowd as the Big 4 race and the Grand Traverse are big deals here. You can’t walk into a ski shop and throw a rock without hitting a pair of Dynafit’s. On a side note, is it me or does the skimo crowd seem to bear a striking resemblance to the road bike crowd. Both have an air of elitist douchebag and both fall under the umbrella term spandex mafia. And if you are a man and weigh over 147.2 lbs they kick you out of either club.
These are my new HOK’s
They have a permanent skin on the bottom. They seem like toys they are so tiny. 125’s. Bindings similar to snowboard bindings and are adjustable to any shoe.
Snow incoming this weekend, YAY!
Are you going with the single pole?

Has anyone ever heard of Hok skis? I just had breakfast with some of the local women of Marble and this seems to be the preferred winter activity. They are a fat, short ski with a built in skin. You also ski downhill with the skin. These ladies get together and do this several days per week. I asked if I could just use my touring skis with skins snd rip them as usual for the downhill. I was met with some strange looks. Lol. It looks like you don’t really do a ski “tour” per se, more like some hilly XC tracks.

This is cool! You need to get one of those "Tiak" poles if you want to show these ladies you are legit.

The timing between this post and me seeing this sign 30 mins later is flawless. The crazy thing is there had to be an incident to warrant putting up this sign
I'd like to know how they define "diarrhea" because depending on the definition, I might never be 14 days past a previous bout.

I might be the only person who likes the last row of the plane. I feel more comfortable sleeping knowing I don’t have to risk the person behind me giving me a wet Willy or something
Last time I was in the last couple rows it stank like other people's shit the entire time. I would have to be having an extreme emergency to poop on a plane.

Anniversary dinner for me next Saturday, but no worries either way.

Still pretty warm down here. I’m nowhere close to using the heat.

Based on last years Easter weekend activities in Vermont, i was thinking about buying the Ikon in the spring to get Killy and Sugar, among some others for the 2nd annual Vermont tour. but i think only some resorts allow spring access. not sure. not up to speed on Ikon. But then obviously hit some ikon resorts out west the following year.
so, with that, it would be nice if Blue were to offer a discounted unlimited pass to Ikon'ers. i think. i think that would end up better than letting Blue be unlimited on the ikon pass.
The first year I bought my IKON pass I did exactly as you are describing and I hit Sugarbush and Stratton on spring access. Pretty sure Killington has spring access as well.
I plan to celebrate the resurrection Jesus Christ again this year by skiing my ass off.

Big news today. It's not April 1, so I guess this is for real.

Yep, we will go back to Taos the following year but trying to expose the kids to a few other areas.

Booked a trip to Utah in late February. All four of us have IKON passes so we'll hit 4 or 5 different resorts.
Need some new intuition liners for the boots. Gonna roll with the same skis, but I'm going to get some new pivots to replace some bindings I don't like on one pair.
Won't be long now!

There's a whole culture of trash pickers that emerge from the darkness the night before bulk trash pickup. I'll put stuff out on Thursday night in preparation for bulk trash on Friday and it's usually gone by the morning.

Nice soft bumps off and under north lynx were the flavor of the day. Can’t complain about anything when it’s nice and sunny. The brewskis in VT are always on point. Had to make a stop at lawsons for a little apres and we even saw some long lost PASR family members there.

She has fun with it too. Its not about the money, its just a fun contest to see how long we can go before we crack. Life is more fun when you do silly things like this.
