    Trail Maintenance and Power Tools

    I was riding Waldo yesterday and came to an abrupt stop when I saw an enormous old growth tree down across the trail. It wasn't just across the trail. It was the upper potion of the tree with all kinds, shapes, and size branches spread out in every direction. Not only is this tree down the...

    Waldo - 6/8/2010

    Time for the first real MTB ride of the season. Gonna roll at 5:45 or 6 pm depending on who might be interested in joining me. Looking to set a moderate pace. A down and back takes about 1.5 hours. I know they have been working on some new trails over there. Maybe some exploring if there is...

    Sundown - 2/16/2010

    After a white knuckle drive on the way north I was booted up by 6:30. It was hard to tell how much they picked up. By the time I was skiing there was crud every where. I started off on the Gotamas for a goof. My skis felt like I had skins on. I think it was a combination of tacky snow and...

    Mad River Glen - 2/11/2010

    2knees, madskier, and myself met up with powbmps at 10am at the base of the single. A little breezy but a beautiful blue sky. I only did one run off the single (Cat Bowl > Lynx I think). There appeared to be a good amount of loose snow in some of the troughs and crests. Wish I could have...

    Sugar Bush, Mt Ellen - 2/10/2010

    Not sure why... :-) but we got a late start this morning. 2knees and I were booted up by around 11 I think. Flurries all day, visibility at the peak was rough at times. The surface was nice just about every where. Some of the steeper bumped up trails looking kinda gnarly. 2knees hit a few...

    Killington - 2/9/2010

    Stop one on our tour of VT was Killington. Parked at Bear around 9:45. Bright blue skies and temps were reasonable. Took 3 runs before powhunter arrived. We poked around looking for bumps all day. We really canvased the entire mountain. Poached some woods near Rams head. I'll type more...

    Pulled in at 11 to a busy parking lot. Good to see. Weather was mostly sunny. Did a few warm up runs on Canyon and Nor Easter. Then took a run on Toms > Papoose. Took a quick break and scarfed a mound of chili cheese fries. Finished up doing a bunch of runs on NE > Temptor. Right side of...
