Not trying to occupy your thread.... but I have at least a half dozen amazing Paradise / Fall Line photos from last year if anyone wants to see it.

Processing is a pain in the ass :lol:

I went back and watched the powder Paradise video from a while ago. Yeah, conditions weren't THAT good, but I was still very happy with the day!

Yeah I like the looks of that. I kinda miss tight eastern trees, cover looks pretty good!

Snowmonster is pretty fun to ski with huh? His enthusiasm is contagious....

In my mind, northern New England
Thanks for the kind words, Nick and snoseek. How can you stop grinning when you're skiing? It's the greatest feeling on earth!

Nick, thanks for a great day. It was an honor skiing with you and Dean. MRG is in prime condition and I'm glad that we hit it when we did! Those runs we did are going on and on in my mind like some amazing repeating loop reel. Unreal. Amazing. Wonderful. I can't wait to get back there again. Thanks too for the pictures and the footage. You make Dean and me look good. I'll post up some photos after work.

To AZers: If you're still wondering whether the woods are skiing well, here's the answer. Driving up to MRG, there was hardly snow on the ground but when we got there, the mountain was bursting with snow. I spent 2 days in VT (one in MRG and the other at Stowe) and skied the woods and the backcountry exclusively. It's skiing pretty well. Go get it while you can! MRG is a great institution. It's timeless. A real classic. The only complaint I have is they took away the NO DIVING sign from the trough.;)

snoseek, get your butt to UT next month. It's going to be epic!

BTW, I think some of my favorite turns of the day was that last stretch coming out of Paradise. It's between 6:45 and 7:20 on the video. I can't stop thinking of that line. I dunno what it was, every turn I took I was airborne in the turn, and it was just soooo much fun coming down that last stretch.
