[MrMagic]

Today was absolutely nuts. Deepest snow I have skied in since bromley in 2005. me and my brother left New Britain around seven thirty .pulled in the bas lodge at 825 they easily had about 2 feet worth of snow. Here are the pictures as the sum up the day better than words can.

first tracks at 910 am down stinger

Off the hook today!! Madroch, Rueler. Mikey1,,Bvibert,,Jonnypoach,,Mrmajic..Great skiing with you guys. Madroch and myself had first chair..and were highly rewarded with untracked 15-18" Gunny..Total awesomeness!!! I had the legends out for the first time, and they served me well. Floating powder turns everywhere...Temptor...and stinger were great as well!!! Once these were tracked out, It was time for the moguls..Point em straight and let em fly boys and girls.. I heard there was activity at area 51...Sundeck, and even a liftline..Madroch and myself took a lot of vid..Should have something up tonight!

Great to ski with all the azers... its a first chair I will remember steve-o..-- will send you the vid after I clear the driveway... domestic responsibilities. Man... flailed away pitiiully for a couple of runs until started to figure it out... it was deep indeed. Made plenty of snow angels early... pretty!

I don't see any moguls in those pictures. Hard to believe you guys had fun without moguls.

[Madroch]

Any of you tech guys know the easiest way to transfer vid vlips-- tried to e-mail em to steve-o but they were to large.. can I compress?

 

[Madroch]

I had the cam set for the Rock drop a little furhter down the "trail"... would have been fine...

Today was one of those absolutely unbelievable days. I don't think it really gets any better than that for CT. Just awesome snow, not quite blower, but not very dense either. Low angle areas of untracked were a battle if you didn't have enough speed. Everything else was pure bliss though.

I just wish that I had checked the battery level on the GoPro before I left. It was pretty much dead from the get go. I don't think I got any footage...

I am totally drained now...

Madroch and Rueler riding up after a later morning refueling.

Someone sent me this pic of shenanigans that they discovered in the woods when the went to take a leak:

this is KILLING me. that thing would be skiable like once every 3 years and JP hit it.

on second thought, thats the drop into the old horn. holy flat ass landing....

 

[powhunter]

That was just some random dude I never met...In fact I found the camera in the parking lot and after review decided to post the pics
