Stowe 11-5-06 - the other one ;)

I decided late into work on Sat that I was going to head up to Stowe on Sunday. Other than stepping on some s**t, not realizing it, and then getting it on my car mat it was a pretty damn good trip.
Started up Gondolier at 7:30am, skied down Cliff Trail to Nosedive, went up Nosedive to under the guns, skied to the bottom, booted back up Nosedive to the top, decided to get to Hayride, but, unlike the other side, the snow was an icy crust on top of 1' of powder - no good, so I headed down Lord to bottom. Hiked back up Gondolier to Chin Clip and finished off with that - which was excellent!!!

Ok, some pics:

I still can't get over how much snow they got, and still have up there! Nice pics!

That's a great picture of Waterfall. It's amazing how different slopes appear without snow.

The waterfall on Oct 27th... sorry it is a bit blurry. (And yes it has already been skied for the year).

I didn't know there was a " first " contest. Congratulations. It looks too intense for me.

I didn't say I was the one to ski it either. We scoped it but the snow was to hard by the time we got up there. Someone else likely skied it when the snow was softer.

There was a thread on TGR where a couple guys skied it.
