Ha, we're used to it these days. Our ski philosophy has always been to put in the extra effort if it means fewer crowds and better snow. It's actually about the same drive as Jay (my real east coast favorite), just a more coastal route.

Last weekend’s bombing coastal storm was a fun one. From the initial forecasting earlier in the week to just seeing it in full force and skiing the aftermath was a classic east coast mission. Unsure of any real mountain accumulations besides Maine, we decided to gamble on Sunday River. It...

Salivating at the recent gfs runs. Maybe even a snow/sleet day for us north jersey teachers please!

These events are more like men and women vs nature. 10x better than men and women vs each other on hardpack artificial terrain. Some gnarly lines out there in Andorra!

The wind was making noises I’ve never heard it make before around 12-3 am last night. I thought the windows of our hotel were going to blow in for sure. 14” storm total reported up here in western Maine. Probably is more like 30” in some spots and 0” a couple yards in either direction. Whiteout...

This course doesn't seem to offer up as much variety as the other day but yea a lot more tomahawking and line adjustment it seems this year

Conditions are so much better than day 1 too.

Travis rice and his natural selection backcountry free ride tour is live from Jackson hole. Very good watch: Natural selection livestream

40 mph in 100 feet on sand, that must be some wipeout with all that exposed skin

That was incredible haha thanks for sharing. Made my night I’ll be keeping an eye out for Donny.

I hear you, we all need a little real talk sometimes to keep us in check. On another note, what’s the vertical on those dunes? Hmmmm

I can't believe that's the map they put out with the way the GFS updates have been looking but they do take into account all of the models I'm sure. Common mountain weather sense says that the peaks will squeeze out moisture from a storm of this size regardless of what the model forecasts say...

I found it difficult to get past just the first question. Q: how’d you come to work at vail? A: well I graduated college and began working in the finance industry on Wall Street for a firm that went bankrupt 18 months after I joined… Classic!

@NY2MA thank you so much that’s more insight than I could have hoped for. Glad to hear it hasn’t gotten too crowded there such as other places this year. I told myself I’d never ski at one of these big pass resorts but I think I could break my own pact for an Ikon mountain. My buddy is an ikon...

I like those odds, even f not a nuker it should still provide at least something up there. I never skied in Maine so I'll try to cook up a nice trip report if I do go.

Thinking about making a trek to Sunday River this weekend to catch the storm. Does anyone have any insight on the mountain? Specifically, how's the crowd up there? Light enough for a weekend strike mission or is it more like the "epic lift lines" we've been seeing at vail resorts? How is the...

But Maine though…

6 am gfs bringin 'er back west nearer to the coast this weekend

That's quite the combo you have going there, some beauties. If you do go to platty, the trees will look tempting basically everywhere you look. You'll see a few tracks in them too but I tested them out a couple times Monday and now I'm in need of a pretty large amount of p-tex. One more dump...

I would just go and explore the place for yourself! There's not enough base right now to really get into any of the "secret stashes" and those single-digit temps on Friday won't be conducive to many soft turns but it will be easy to scope out some lines and mind-surf some of the endless...
