Probably a great time first thing in the morning when everything is groomed $75 is like a round of drinks no big dealio. My per run cost for my JH trip was prob about $75 1

PSUFrankenstein Posted February 4 Author Report Posted February 4 He has his own run at Waterville...Wayne Wong's Way. Closed for snowmaking though. After Black mountain, I headed towards the coast. Stopped in Cape Elizabeth and took a walk along the cliffs/lighthouse. Really cool place. Then drove north about 45 minutes to Brunswick for dinner...seafood egg rolls and a lobster roll. Then drove to the hotel in Freeport. I was going to hit Maine Beer, but they close at 8. I'm at Mast Landing brewery which is open until 9 and the parking lot is connected to the hotel. 5 3
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Wayne Wong Dong lol I wouldn’t know of him except for old Warren Miller movies and Indiggios crew. You don’t hear about him much these days, you also don’t hear much about chicken Kiev and I fear once the war in Ukraine ends that classic dish won’t make a comeback. 1 1
indiggio Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Black is cool for an old school mountain. Cool trail that wanders through the woods and the little snack shack crabkin’ tunes in the middle of the place. Unfortunately there wasn’t anywhere near the snow it looks like there is now, but it was still a hoot. 2 1

You can ski and have a meal with him for big $850/pp. Nope! Edited February 4 by indiggio 1

I'm probably going to skip a trip put west this year and do Jay, Bolton, maybe Canada depending on when my passport shows up. Or northern VT and NH again 3

Or northern VT and NH again I love how there are so many people in all your riding pics lol lol A laurentian trip i feel like is the most risk/reward like an EC PNW. Definitely want to hear about that one but one of the Massifs is closed this year, I can't remember if its Sud or not but someone in my travels told me. The one i keep hearing about but have never been is Morin Heights, apparently it has cabins and is the most Bohemia like of the hills in that area. 1

I think its massif de Charlevoix or whatever that closed. Sud is on my list but it's also really far. Owls head and mont Sutton are relatively close to Jay so those are doable. Camden snow bowl is great. Views definitely do not suck 5 1
EdBacon Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 Hey @PSUFrankenstein did you hit Magic or Middlebury yet? Will be there this weekend to use my Indy Pass for Independently owned and operated ski areas. 1
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 4 Author Report Posted February 4 Rode at camden snow bowl from 10 to a little after 1. Great place...hit all of the open trails a few times and popped into the open glades a bit. Dodging some rocks and branches on the glades and natural snow trail but decent snow. The views here are awesome. Had a baxter ipa and a small chicken banh mi and started heading east. Staying near Farmington, Maine tonight, hour or so from saddleback 5 1

Haven't been there yet this season but it should be good right now 2
EdBacon Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 (edited) If Platty was on the Indy Pass for independently owned and operated ski areas then my life would be complete. Sadly their owner says Indy Pass is not hxrdcore enuff. edit: Smuggs too Edited February 4 by EdBacon 4
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 4 Author Report Posted February 4 Hit Cushnoc brewing in Augusta, Maine...beer was good, pizza was really good. Stopped at Titcomb mountain for 5 t-bar laps since it's 10 min from the hotel. Cool little place similar to Cochrans in Vermont. It was packed with kids but no lines. 7 2
Johnny Law Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Dude you are balling out ! Enough that it made me put my name on the list for an indy pass and I have a super ikon or whatever already. 4 1
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 Saddleback was awesome today...one of my favorite indy pass places. I'll do a before and after lunch report. Got on the high speed quad a few minutes after 9...did a glade (nightmare glades i think) down to the Kennebago quad. Back to the top and hiked out to Muleskinner. They've had almost 2 ft of snow this week so there were some deep pockets but also some windblown spots. After that, repeated the traverse to hit Casablanca chutes 1 through 4. All had great snow and some untouched lines. Hit dark wizard glades then back to the top and took a groomer to the upper lodge restaurant. Had a spicy tuna roll and a mast landing IPA 3 2
PSUFrankenstein Posted February 6 Author Report Posted February 6 After lunch I hit a few groomers...swapped boards with the intent of hitting more groomers but my first run off the high speed quad after that I hit professor...wiped out on the drop on that, I was expecting a smaller drop with the amount of snow. Hit a bump run then back up and over to Kennebago quad. Hit tight line, which is a steep groomer and another glade that cuts into chute 1. Did a top to bottom run and a few more groomers after that and left around 3. Drove to St. Johnsbury, VT and hit Red Barn brewing for a few beers, Mac and cheese, and live music. Burke tomorrow...probably not riding Saturday unless the wind forecast changes 2 1 2
toast21602 Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 That looks stellar! Damn! Also looks like a ghost town. Was anybody even there? 1
Schif Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 This report is amazing. Is that a new powder board? Looks awesome. 1

It's always pretty empty although I've never been there on a weekend. I did see a few people on the hike to stuff and chatted with two indy passers from the lehigh valley 1
