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

thanks for the kind words! it was very hard to walk away from it last year. the approach then was geared more towards sight unseen. this year, I created two trainers for east and west sections. they definitely helped put the route in a smaller purview. it’s a great experience to have a...

The Herb part 2 We spoil ourselves with PB&Js, beef jerky, smoothies and most importantly, energy drinks that are said to give you wings. Both of us lie on our backs in the cool shade, motionless, knowing that we have thirty more miles and four thousand feet left. The longer we sit idle, the...

Part 1 July 2nd, 2024. Around 5:10am, red taillights belonging to Crawler’s van come into view. Giving the truck more gas, I close the gap between the two vehicles. On the tight two-lane road, I rip past the van and gun it up the mile long hill. We are headed for the DEC parking lot that crowns...

a friend was tossing around my initials and adding words to them. then came up with ap physics. it made sense at the time since we were climbing rock naturally testing physics.

according to my dogs i’m smart.

I’ve stumbled upon one or two TR’s, instagram, vaguely knew of the magazine but didn’t realize it was also a place to connect with likeminded people, a place to share stories and more, preserve the past. Ignorant of me not to have done a deep dive. but! here now and nothing like the present...

hi all, been skiing since I learned to walk. grew up in PA skiing Blue mtn, Bear Creek and others. instructed at Blue Bump (Blue Marsh / Flying Dutchman Club for you old heads). now I reside at the base of the catskills and lurk in its woods and mountains seeking stashes of all kinds. if you...
