I just had the same reaction to this post as I did to [post="251795"]this pic[/post]. :blink:

You mean love at first sight???

And as for Tux, I will ski on Saturday but not on Sunday because of a prior engagement.

Greg, you're scaring me. You're starting to remember too many of my posts. Do you sense stalker? :lol:

Now, to get back on subject. Greg, going to Tux with us? It'll be good prep for hiking Hunter.

So, I see that in school you missed Sarcasam101 :lol:

Greg, the sweet bumps await your visit:

I think his kb may have gotten a bit sticky on that one

Hitting Sugarbush that Friday and then have to be home. Can't swing it. Someday.

Well, I don't think that I'm AZ's type. He shared a room with snowmonster and his blue boots last month at Sugarbush. :wink: :lol:

And I'm not his type either. =(

Well if you're worried about that, you shouldn't be translating :roll:

Snow is plentiful, temps holding up nicely, been in 70s here in NJ, staying in the teens and low 20s up on Washington. Should be great conditions in 2 weeks, can't wait!

Anyone considering it:

Just Do It!

Perfect conditions on Sat, and none of the crowds

How insane would it be for someone to make a trip of it from Michigan to do Tuckerman Ravine?
I know I can't fit it in this year, with all the other plans I have in my hopper, but I'd love to put this on my bucket list, but somehow, I think its Nuts!

Right now it looks like SB on Friday with some folks from AZ, and then Tux on Saturday.

The following is quoted from Backcountry Skiing Adventures, Tuckerman Ravine. :

Falling

If you fall when skiing or snowboarding, get your skis or snowboard downhill. attempt to self-arrest by setting your steel edges hard into the slope, and/or driving the tip of your ski pole into the snow and putting your weight on it like an ice axe. Then breathe deep, say three Hail Mary's, and pray.
