What's the upcoming weekend looking like? Thinking of making a final trip up there and try my hand at pond skimming

I never suspected that the Praxis would be good in the woods- I assumed they were more for the above treeline open bowl/steep powder. Good review.

what a terrible injury. Jesus. That made me so sick to my stomach. I feel terrible for the kid. He lost his leg. That is so insane.

Well this week would be time to harvest the above woods. They hold snow well and are sheltered from any wind so the snow that falls will stay there.

Where: The BC outside of L.P. When: A week ago. We hit some snow filled wide open low angle glades between 2000ft and 3800 ft. The snow was dope Me and my chicken wings I fell. The better half passing next years xmas tree. Who put that drop there- I fell right after this was...

When I take delta I check the skis and carry the boots on board with my clothes in a carry on bag I travel light.

I'd say just bring the recons. I ski just my chiefs at alta. The snow is soft enough to work 98mm underfoot on any terrain.

dude you'll be fine. Don't sweat the weather. like Dr. jeff said- spring v. powder is really like deciding between awesome and awesome. I was there these dates last year. Some of the days were powder and some of the days were warm and sunny-- regardless both were stellar.

Then you are missing out. Vapor barrier is a must for mountaineering so there's something to it. That's all.

YEa...that's not a good black ...however there are some other cuts made that look awesome so I'm not complaining.

It is bascially the same as a vapor barrier sock. YOu just have to take them off during the day and dry your feet. The idea behind the vapor barrier is that it keeps moisture from evaporating - which is a cooling process- thus it keeps all this warm moist air around the feet. Totally works...

In a related item- has anybody hiked over and poached the newly cut trails? From what I have seen this year they look well covered and skiable.

My toes are ALWAYS cold and the only thing that ever works is plastic bags- like thin grocery bags. Wear against the feet and then socks over that.

heading up this weekend also. Touring the BC and will be at WF...very stoked.

It looks like mix line is finally starting to hold on line that the the NWS burlington predicted...maybe the 6-10 total snow for the northern adirondacks will work out. Anybody know what elevation is doing to this storm- clearly there are area's where cold air is trapped at the surface and...
