Where is that Cat Rock?

Weston, off 117. Not sure of the street, but I'm pretty sure the turn is before Dairy Joy when going from Waltham. I believe NELSAP has some info about the place.

Props to you! Well done.

Cat Rock park it is. Although I didn't see any cats, I did see what looked like a coyote or dog print.

I was seriously tempted to just go in my backyard the 20' down my slight hill.

I got out this morning as well on my backcountry XC setup. We got about 6" of heavy wet snow. Felt great to be sliding on two sticks again!!!

 

[skidmarks]

Good for you guys! Location Location, I was up in Maine and missed the storm

I went out with an old beater snowboard to a sloped parking lot and a few steep embankments around 10 last night... Silly but fun, had to get out in it!

Seeing that others were out there boarding/skiing in the thin cover somehow makes me feel less obsessive-compulsive. So thanks.:smile:

Welcome aboard, Fiddletildeath. Anyone that skis and is into the bluegrass is someone I'd enjoy hanging out with!

Just because we do it too, doesn't mean you (or us) are any less obsessive-compulsive. But, I have no qualms about my skiing addiction. .

Is that sidewalk a blue or black? Is it usually groomed? Any lodging nearby?

 

[Abubob]

People are dying and and you're skiing in two inches of oatmeal!!?? Oh the humanity!

*hey what happened to my all caps?*

It's a feature of vBulletin, turning all caps into lower case. If you add a few lower case characters it should let you post as is.

 

[fiddletildeath]

Thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to a ridiculous season of awesomeness!

Ice Queen - given the conditions, the sidewalk was rated a double black. mandatory air off the sidewalk and sporadic shoveled driveways... however the lodging is luxurious, if you live here!

 

[Ice Queen]

Double black is probably out of my league for now, I think I'll try Okemo instead.
