OK...I'm just as bad. We have 250 acres at our family farm in Northern Vermont...nice hilly terrain with mixed meadows and forests. I actually have a snowshoe trail network that I've cut and maintained myself. I'm actually nerdy enough to have trail names such as "Headwater's Trail," "007," and "Kingsley's Loop." I miss being able to just head out my door with my headlamp and do some snowshoeing/skiing...

DMC, this thread seems to have been created for amusement purposes. Please forgive me for being "lame" again.

I live in the city and have no backyard to speak of. There's no acres and acres to snowshoe. I am very envious. But when it snows, the dirty city is cleansed and becames a ski playground.

In Boston we have:
Needle Falls

Dirty Water
And oveer by the State House the twin runs of Graft and Corruption. Those two can be pretty gnarly if you're not careful.

take good pic's. this is good stuff. warren miller productions pays people good money to recreate these kinds of skier antics. let the group name your trails. there's a lot of creative cynergy in this forum :argue: . can't wait to see the pics.
