44/55 was a shit show. miles of cars.

@Harvey thanks for the link to @Brownski ’s article. it’s a solid read and aged very well. DEC just recently put in a large parking lot to accommodate and finished it this spring. have yet to see it finished in person. I tend to avoid that valley during summer (except on a bike). but watched the...

@Harvey a blog/forum is also a different more slow style of social media. you have to sign up, you have to like to write and convey your thoughts via writing. I don’t have a problem with forums. in my young catskill days I found out a lot info on the 35er bushwhacks via the catskill mountaineer...

(me thinking this next bit was a quote from shane) I apologize, I read this as a quote you pulled from the interview said by shane. I’m happy you kept NYSB open and didn’t take Matt’s approach to monetize it. I think it’s kinda scummy that you need to pay for HIS forecasts. it’s a wx forecast...

@Ripitz books need to be sought after and take time to read. social media reams info down thousands of viewer’s throats in 30 seconds flat. that’s the difference.

@Harvey some stories/stashes should be left for close, trustworthy friends. wish he had the same mindset for swimming holes as he did for Gore 😂 that’s where and why I don’t believe him. shit, I have a ton of ski TRs I don’t post in order to not “doom the spot”. I don’t mind taking people to a...

@Low Angle Life 😂😂😂 hilarious another depressing thing is that it could be a viewership tactic. post something that is controversial and stirs up comments—boom—your post gets views and interaction then shoots to the top of the algorithm. the basis of why he got so much attention from posting...

if it’s an interview you want to do, I hope it works out for you. I trust you’ll bring moral questions for him, showing his true careless ethics. he just rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go. prying for stashes with an antsy attitude just to exploit them. now, he preaches leave-no-trace but...

@Brownski you’ll just be giving him another platform to gain traction on. he’s no good. knew it from the start when he wanted to know my ski stashes of the catskills. no sir, you ain’t getting shit. he’s not worth an interview. I certainly won’t tune in. his ski vids are very mediocre. just...

where can one find this worth while podcast?

heck yeah!!! what a trip! even if you didn’t reach Vly, you found other pockets that were on your list of things to see and do. not to mention we’ll earned turns! massive props for riding in inclement wx all the way from Beacon! off the couch steez.

Skesus!!!! looks like a good outing.

words to live by 😎

@Ripitz nailed it in a nut shell. the details below: I was on one of its close neighbors with a very slightly more eastern aspect on monday the 20th. we had good skiable snow until around 2700’. we were in skis from car to summit and back. it’s blower and will probably stay like that for a few...

Bearpen survived the thaw and rains …and is rejuvenated from this past snow event 😂 the road is good from the bottom—about 1”… around 25-2600’ is where it really kicks off in the woods. probably about 1.5’ in the woods towards the 33-3500’ mark and dwindles to inches around 2500’. with these low...

looking good!

south facing is a bit crusty 😂 this was around 3300’

agreed. no lift service needed. nerd-gate 101. the climb to the summit from Lost Clove is very doable on a bike—save the short section above the lean-to. keep the activity traditional and at lower volume/low maintenance. more styled like out west where it’s free under your own power and...

I recently rode to the summit from lost clove using some of the new trails. they are doing a great job. very exciting. thanks for sharing the maps.

appreciate it
