Even TTB has been known to do some goose stompin' with the CLITS:



That was a nice day! I recall taking you up to Catwalk for your first run down it. We had a good afternoon of skiing soft bumps. Very nice.

So we need to plan our annual get-together which historically has been abbreviated for some reason or another...including our like 20 minutes together at Sugarbush this March...mea culpa there...I need a new watch I think :roll:

I still dream about that day. Bluebird skies and perfect bumps on Vertigo.

Yep - I think an MRG day is in order for this season.

Nah, SB first and then MRG. I need to show you Mount Ellen...since you have only been there for a brief visit.

And maybe let me plan the dates so we at least get good weather. :wink:

If memory serves me right, we've skied BEast, Sugarbush, Sunapee, and Killington together.

I've been to Mount Ellen a few times. 3 or 4, I think. I'm not sure we even skied together at Sugarbush and Sunapee hardly counts. What was that, like 90 minutes at the end of a hard pack December day?

Yes, more reason to ski together.....and I think it was 90 minutes in December 2005 or so on like the one or two runs they had open.

If you're talking about the same trip that I was on, then no, TTB and his crew wanted nothing to do with us. We were skiing on the same mountain on the same day, but not together. Bunch of slackers...

We attempted two separate rendezvous...and missed you both times because we were late. We were stuck in the powder. It's all Win's fault. :wink:

Wow. It was that far back:

I just sold those boots at the ski swap last weekend. And I gave those K2s to Brian. And those bug eye goggles have been relegated to being an emergency back-up pair... :lol:

Great views from Sunapee; that's for sure.

That's right. I seem to recall bidding TTB farewell and heading off to Castlerock to ski a foot+ of untracked (0:08 - 0:20):



His loss... :roll:

I beg to differ on the "loss" part:



We found Lostone...and then lost him again in the powder...and then it was off to the trees:



And I think that you slackers went in to the bar before anyone else did...leaving us to close the place down:

Sure it was. Win was with us, how did he make you late? Oh yeah, that's right he did call in that wind hold on his radio to keep the slopes clear for us... :lol:

And I gave those K2s to Brian.

I just used those skis as my waxing practice guinea pigs last weekend... :lol:

Yep. There was definitely a lot more snow on the flats of Lower Organgrinder than there was on Middle Earth, Rumble and Liftline.... :roll:

IIRC, Brian and I were still scoring powder in the woods off Gatehouse right up till about 10 after 4...

I wanna see the three other sets of goggles you put back before you decided on those.


You look like something out of The Fly.

They were an online purchase. And besides making me look like a retard, they never fit right.
