Thunderbolt Race - Saturday February 20th

Was COLD last Friday

Figured that a bad day on the Thunderbolt would be better than a good day at Okemo!
After doing the skin up decided to come down the Bellows Pipe Trail and ski from the Bumps down.

We need to burn old equipment in homage to Ullr. People have become so atheistic that the gods have cast displeasure upon us. Now go take those old rossi stratos to the hilltop and set them ablaze!

Official Announcement

The 75th Anniversary Thunderbolt Ski Race scheduled for Saturday February 20th has been postponed.
March 6th or March 13th are under consideration as alternative dates.
The revised race date will be announced on Monday February 15th.


There is insufficient snow for a proper race at this time. A lot can change in a couple of weeks.

I hope it snows a lot, and soon, for this race.

It'd be a shame to see something like this get wiped out by a bad snow year.

We are now shooting for the 13th of March. If we don't have enough snow by then, we'll have to postpone until 2011.

I'll be there!

Nice webcam of Mt. Greylock
Getting some snow again!
You'll see the powerline to the left, the rock slide straight away. The Thunderbolt trail peeks out here and there to the far right of the slide.
