So this one turns four tomorrow. What a fine representative of the dog world she is, friend to all, unless you are a woodland rodent or deer. Happy Gotcha Day and honorary birthday to Moira Rose of Attawapiskat.

Trapping season is slowing down, the basterds are happy outdoors.

This weekend I skied at Jay for the first time since Feb. 2020 and the subsequent pandemic lockdowns, plus life getting in the way. Those of us who hadn't been there for a while were surprised at how little snow there was, given the recent storms. My brother, who skis there fairly regularly...

@Ripitz - you are way ahead of us! Probably won't be picking for at least a week or so.

Beautiful tribute, Harvey.

I wasn't that excited about the eclipse until I found instructions on how to build a pinhole camera eclipse viewer. Excellent work project tomorrow, we have lots of boxes.

Hmmm, just had alpine binders mounted on my new skis, tech asked how much I weighed, looked at his chart and set them 6.5. Bindings go to 14. Maybe I should reconsider.

Well. it was a pretty weird winter up here in the Hinterlands but at least we got to have a great send-off. Thanks to cooperative management at the local bump, our WWHSTA group organized the third annual Corn Harvest at a closed ski hill. Over 25 souls made the trek to Hidden Valley today for...

Not this week but next week. Heading to Jay Peak for the first time since COVID lockdowns in 2020. It's kind of a big deal, since I've been skiing there almost every season before then since I was 12. That's a long time. Anyhoo, if you are in the JPR area April 12-14, look for a group of four...

Moira and I watched "Togo" on Disney tonight. A good adventure yarn with a few over the top scenes and very enthralling for a northern dawg:

That was a good tumble!

Great review, thanks for taking the time to write it up. Kinda sums up up everything else I've been seeing: works well, better than NNN BC, expensive, fiddly.

Great report and looks like a fun day was had. What is your opinion on the Xplore binding system compared to NNN BC?

The snow is fading fast. Heading back to Limberlost tomorrow for a staff appreciation day of outdoor activities, I think the food will be the highlight. Forecast high is 15 degrees C (that's 59 F!)! The snow will be mushy.

It has been a thin winter this year. Blasts of snow for those can take advantage, lasting a few days. Otherwise less than ideal conditions. As we wind down, a celebration. World Telemark Day was celebrated WWHSTA-style at Limberlost Forest today, with telemark (75 mm, three-pin, NNN-BC, NTN...

I thought that I was making two separate posts but whatever.

My brother (literally) has been skiing at Jay this week, here is the report from yesterday: http://jonnyjay.blogspot.com/2024/02/a-real-snow-report-from-johnny-jay.html And today: http://jonnyjay.blogspot.com/2024/02/jj-goes-off-piste.html The second installment, as promised: Bluebird day...

You ought to be me.

Things are looking up. Now just need to align the stars and go skiing. After an extended break, the snow chair is back in action.

The article you shared says that the AirTag range is 100 metres. That's a deal-breaker right there.
