Hi, I'm new to the forum and must say that I'm a little disappointed with the 2011-2012 winter (as I'm sure anyone reading this was.) I started lusting for telemarking after getting out on my cross country skis a few times last winter. I spent most of my time ice climbing that year, and didn't catch the bug for skiing until it was too late.
So I geared up and spent the winter skiing Sundown, with a few trips up north to Suggs and Sugarbush. I got my turn down pretty good by the end of the season, especially for someone who never skied before. I had loads of fun, but I spent alot of time wishing I could venture out into the local woods and do some exploring. I found that I liked skiing the somewhat narrower, twisty trails. I think my favorite was Sleeper at Sugarbush, even more so when the rocks started to show through.
My question is, can someone tell me about the limited potential that CT has for backcountry skiing? Is there anyone out there who, provided we get a decent winter next year, would be willing to take me out on some excursions? I live in the Northeast Corner, not far from some NELSAs, and spend alot of time wishing that it was that wonderful winter of 2011-2012 again. Let's go clear out some woods for skiing, or lobby the DEP to allow a backcountry ski trail, or just talk about skiing in CT.
