Cool vid! I got to meet John Egan this year when I hit Sugarbush Sunday after valentine's day - very cool guy - hooked us up with free passes

And yeah, Castlerock was AWESOME that day... oh man, my legs were trembling...

 

[2knees]

ahhh nice bump.

here's a couple of older photos of myself on rumble. sorry for the grainy image, they were scanned.

 

[Greg]

What's up with you and bent poles? :blink:

Weird. This pic looks almost identical to one taken of me this season:



More Rumble love:









Unfortunately, I only skied Rumble once this season. I hope to spend some more time on it next year. I skied it rather conservatively as I didn't know the trail at all. I sallied and side-stepped part of the entrance off of Liftline - talk about psyche out. I'd like to hit it a bit more agressively now that I know I'm not going to get killed on it.

If I had Castlerock in my backyard... oh man... I don't think I'd need anything else

Did you enter from the top or from the cut-in slighly further down (10 yards, maybe)? If you did so from the top, I can't blame you for side-stepping some. There is a huge rock there and it's not an easy entrance to actually find snow to ski. Perhaps if you have confidence and guts it can be jumped.

I think it was the upper entrance. You head down Liftline for maybe a half dozen turns and then bang a left. There's a trail sign right there. I think there's a traverse from CR that leads to the other entrance you speak of, right? The upper entrance is totally skiable; I just psyched myself out. The first skiing scene in the above video is the one I'm talking about. Looks tame in the vid aside from the wipe-out.

Yes, you are talking about the upper entrance. It isn't that it is particularly hard steepness-wise, it's that there is a big rock taking up almost the entire width. There isn't much space to do anything. At least I have never been there with that rock well-covered. The lower entrance I was talking about is where the traverse from CR Run comes in to Liftline.. It's only slightly further down and it basically just puts you in below the rocky area.

Ahhhhh.... Rumble! One of the best! Here are a few shots that make you appreciate it's character:

Now if that doesn't get you excited for next season, I don't know what will!

Sugarbush, the one place I didn't hit all season. But next season.........
