Crusher Beware 12/09/14

[lstone84]

I wasn't saying fuck to the amount of snow but how Whiteface operates. Lift ticket line, opened 15 mins late. Quad, 30 mins late. Gondola, 90 mins late. Just found out they shut the gondola down for 2-3 hours. They wouldn't provide running snow totals or even an update in the afternoon. Everything was groomed. Fuck Whiteface. And are we really not allowed to swear on here Father Gomez?

Yeah, this event isn't the greatest snow to ski in, but it's the greatest ski base material you could ask for.

Base builder is only good if it snows on top of it.

J/k. Anything in the rental shop

Not even checking at this point. Folks have gathered in the bar because it's raining now. My buddy with me on a snowboard faired ok out there.

Even though it might not have helped me I'm buying a real pow ski soon. Been dragging my feet for no reason.

Some of us appreciate those of you out there who are packing this snow down for us. Thanks!

It takes a special kind of stupidity. If there's one thing I am, it's dumb.

I'm at Wildcat. Their claims are legit. Only problem: this concrete snow is owning me. I'm using a pair of K2 Hardsides which aren't the best or worst powder tool. Tips dive even at speed and I can't buy a turn. Haven't felt this helpless on skis in years.

Good day to be on a board! Unfortunately the only board I'm on is this message board.

Wet heavy snow = hard turning! if thee is just a couple inches - no problem. However, 6-12 inches can be tough.

Damn, it is full on R#$% across New England at this point WTF!

I'm not a moderator, that's not my call to make. I'd have zero tolerance for it if I owned this website though.

Patience! Winter hasn't even begun yet, but this is encouraging.

This is true. I have to keep reminding myself that we're not even half way through Dec yet.

Hunter was great the past 2 days. Elevation made a big difference. First 3 runs today were great, Cliff, Upper 42, Upper Cross and Milky Way.We had some rain overnight, sandwiched in-between all that snow

I was thinking about the people going out today: Wax early, wax often...

I can do without it.

At K now, a foot of pretty heavy chit, seems better in the trees, kicked my ass, probably hit Superstar and Skyelark to end the day.

K should be real good if they get snow on top of this base building snow, enjoy it those who can. Pretty damn good today.

Trees at Wildcat were excellent yesterday. Plenty of cover. I only hit one rock all day.
