would you be so kind as to post a quick TR on Saturday after you ski?

Will do! I'll try to do that before I throw down too many beers at Jeff's post skiing. If it makes less sense than usual, you'll know why. :lol:

Actually just the specific location of the best zipperline will do....

pffft, ignore the guy in the green boots... some of us might want to rip the front side while the north face loosens up....


:roll: bumpers are so one dimensional. . . .:flame:

We don't plan on getting there until the NF softens up. ;)

Westchester County, NY and a Mountain near you!
My buddy said as of this morning, its pretty bare....on the front face...I think he said there might be a small sliver along canyon to get down. The NF will have better cover on a couple of trails. I'm on the fence now based on what he said....just not sure.

There's probably some truth to that statement.... :lol:

I took a run down Rollercoaster last Saturday. It was getting a bit bare in spots. But I'll scope it out this weekend. I'm thinking the North Face will have good bumps this weekend. I'll take a couple of runs Saturday to scope it out for the AZ Crew.

I'm sensing a couple of beer fortifide blackberry posts from Cuzzins Deck on Saturday afternoon ;) and if not from there, some beer fortifide blackberry posts from my deck Saturday evening! :)

For everyone's viewing pleasure, if the visibility permits, I'll post a pic of how the main mountain looks when I get up there this evening

I just checked the webcams. Huge brownie on the lower part of Canyon. Although, with enough speed, I'd wheelie over it on my twins.....

You drink beer? Wow. I never noticed that before.

P.S. I need to empty my BeerTender this weekend.

I'll be there this weekend. I'm the guy with the 3-year old linking turns down Disco. Potential for a Gladeiator hat on Cuzzins deck (button and koozies still available).

Husband and 14 yo just left for VT. I can give the non-alcohol NF bump scoop (and the Carinthia take) tomorrow afternoon.

Mount Snow, 7PM-ish tonight from my back deck.

last_weekend_2010_002a.jpg


Quick glance - roughly 2/3rds snow, 1/3 grass on the main face, which per their reports today is the least covered area. Actually had a couple of SNOWFLURRIES hit the windshield of my car as I was rolling into West Dover about 6! Temps falling through the lower 1/2 of the 30's now (9PM ish) with a gusty wind out of the NW

I think I can find a place on my counter tommorrow for you to place the Beertender ;) And if worse comes to worse, I DO have to drive right by your hometown on Wednesday :lol:

We might have to invite a couple of both AZ Mount Snow regulars and Mount Snow staffers to ensure it's emptiness! :lol:

Tell them to sleep in the way the temps been dropping and the winds a blowing in the 3 hours I've been up here tonight. Gonna want that April sun to do it's thing and start to corn up the snow before hitting the hill tommorrow IMHO

BTW, Carinthia looked 85-90% edge to edge still as I drove by tonight! The "weakest" coverage from my viewpoint on Rte 100 looked like it was on The Gulch, and even then, it looked better than any trail in my main mountain pic above!

Hell, that looks pretty damn great to me. I love grass/mud avoidance skiing. some bumps and more cover on TNF and I'm satisfied.
