Damage report thread

Harvey at NY ski blog had the same thing happen..except it tore his tire to shreds. My commute in the morning is a 70 mph indy 500..at 3 its 10 mph...my wifes commute..walk from bedroom to office. That would be nice.

shit happens. i had a very scary near miss a few weeks ago. was driving home from magic. on nj17 southbound. it had snowed all day but by now it was sunny and the roads were clear. quite beautiful actually. sparkling. so i'm in the left lane and traffic is moving nicely, and i see a plow in the leftlane northbound throwing slush into my lane. i had my window open a crack and my only thought was 'close the window to not get slush on face', so i did. i didn't think much of the actual slush, but my drivers side wheels hit it and i lost control, swerved to the left and nearly slammed into the wall, over corrected and crossed three lanes to my right perpendicular to traffic. somehow didn't hit anything or cause anyone else to have an accident. pulled over and sat at a gas station for 10 minutes shook as fuck. did not tell my girlfriend.

Wow glad you are OK. Thats the equivalent of losing it in the trees and being out of control but somehow going betweenthe trees and not into them.

You played lotto that day right?

Its the worst when you spin around..and are staring at oncoming headlights. Its sporty out there right now for sure.

Here at Hunter we got ice then rain . It's 39 and the sun's trying to come out. Weather reports say today high of 40, dropping to 20 tonight. Tomorrow's high 19! Oh boy break out the skates!!! It was one of the best runs of cold in awhile. I think it was at least 5 wks of being below freezing(?) Not sure if they plan on any snowmaking, they haven't done any in awhile.

Vail, snowmaking? HAHAHA. It was definitely Huntah hardpack yesterday. They finally groomed Claire's, even though I had no issue with it, someone is gonna get hurt on it till its groomed a few more times.

The Clair's I remember....

SoVt - 3” on the ground and a nice little band of moderate snow looking like it may continue for a good portion of the day.

good enough to fully blow off work and school. Probably going to be a busy one

 

[kingslug]

The snowstake at Casa Slug Ct is now at 9 inches..I could ski 1 turn down my backyard into the woods. My wife went snowshoeing back there.

 

[slatham]

5” maybe 6” in SoVT with some upslope possible tonight for hopefully another 1-2”. Not bad considering how this storm weakened over time. It’s blower pow so 1) will greatly improve groomers and put them back in prime mid winter form 2) will permit skiing in low angle glades and bumps 3) but not really help steeps.

It was very strange to be skiing trees today but hearing the noise of ski on ice. While not typical, with this pow and base you need some edges.

Gunstock had a couple of inches on top of edgeable crust today and skied decently. 100% open. They’ve probably gotten a couple more by now.

 

[kingslug]

Hopefully Gore..get some more...But considering the way they close perfectly good glades..it will be groomer city tomorrow.

Aout 4-6" on top of frozen crust at our cabin in the catskills. Blacked out for the holiday, but have patty tickets for sunday. Snowshoeing tomorrow.

Gore was in really good shape last Sunday. Relatively light crowds too. When they get a lot of snow it really is a great mountain.

16 degrees..looks good from here..groomer days..
It was snowing hard when i passed exit 20 thruway..cloudy here

 

[sugarbushskier]

Mt Snow glades were actually quite good yesterday as the 2-4 inches of pow on top of hardened base skied OK if you attacked it. Lower angles glades off of One More Time, Mineshaft & Uncles were very enjoyable! Olympic Glades....not so much LOL.

The base is hardened for sure, but it's also still very deep.

Gore has a ton of snow locked under a crust. Needs some snow. Did see some guys poaching under the chair breaking it up..Good stuff under there.
Groomers were good.

i had a couple moments at magic where i intentionally fell on my butt in the trees to break speed, and my butt would break the crust and sink, and then i'd try to push up to stand, and my arm would break the crust and sink, and i flailed around like a turtle on his back for a minute

 

[kingslug]

We poked at it here and there..but did not want to venture in as they are closed and patrol would be very unhappy if we had a mishap requiring them. Very tempting though. The groomers never got skied off which was weird but understandable as its all natural snow being churned up. Just need one more good hit and it will all open.
Or a hell of a spring.
