It was a very good day for Gore-Tex! It was dumping all day long, 36" of Wet New England Chowda.
Left the Hartford area around 6AM. Took 4 hours to make it up to Stratton. The access road was closed to non 4X4 drive cars for a few hours which delayed things a bit. I don't understand why they let the Bud Truck up the hill. I was up for a Ski Retailer Demo and really loved the Dynastar Legend 115!! It blasted right thru the heavy mank. I also loved the Fischer Watea 94. It was very easy to ski in the bumped up glades with this versatile ski. I want a pair!!!

Parking Lot 1 Fun! Good thing I had my Avi Shovel so I could dig my car out. Thanks to the guys that gave me a push out!!

Tough job you have there. ;)

Not surprised to hear that you liked the Watea 94.

Nice pics skidmarks...jeez how I miss even just driving in disaster snowstorm conditions.
So any preference so far?....the Watea94s or Dynastar's 115...? How was the Dynastar's float for a 115..?
A Dynastar to demo!..YeeHa.
