    Just another day at the office. Glowing dog and a large moose stuffy.

    Jay Peak Conditions

    Didn't have a res to cancel. I had a season pass paid for during the previous administration burning a hole in my ski jacket, a free place to stay, family to visit & ski with and no reason to spend money on anything but food and wine. On top of that, Jay Peak is very loyal and supportive of...

    Jay Peak Conditions

    I skied at Jay on Friday, Saturday and today. Conditions were spring-like but surprisingly firm and fast. Friday was sunny, breezy and mildly busy. Saturday was sunny, windy, and a gong show of people (not the resort's fault, GM Steve Wright said it was their second-busiest day this season). The...

    Jay Peak Conditions

    Nice. Headed there this weekend, assuming they let me across the border. Looks like spring skiing on a phat base. Will report back .

    Tales from the Hinterlands 2024/25

    After a bit of thaw there was a snow event, perfect timing for the WWHSTA group's celebration of World Telemark Day and BC Ski Festival (just to include the other methods). The chair, as always, sets the mood: We gathered as usual at the Limberlost Forest, with all forms of glisse...

    Are you a picker?

    The Cubco bindings did require a screw-on attachment on the ski boot.

    Are you a picker?

    There is a lot of stuff that fits into that category. Chunks of wood, old skis, various obscure tools, etc.

    Where are the flying cars?

    What about the drones?

    Are you a picker?

    Thought replied earlier but who knows: DO NOT make into chairs, Wall mount with no holes at least. Ski the Look Nevadas carefully.

    Maybe. A Facebook memory from 2017 looked a little deeper. Towns just to the south us have way more snow.

    Tales from the Hinterlands 2024/25

    Despite all the snow we've been getting lately, I've been slacking on extra-curricular activities. You know, life gets in the way. But the chair is compelling... Valentine''s Day: The stoke was diminished by finding this rock with the snowblower, deposited by the plow driver at the end of...

    Jay Peak, VT: 2/7-8/25 with a side of Berkshire East

    Locals in the know are saying that this is the best season in 20 years (so far). Nice report, Gorg!

    Great story, thanks for sharing. Good inspiration for our WWHSTA project up here in the Hinterlands.

    Tales from the Hinterlands 2024/25

    He walked out with a lot of support. A crew went up from base camp with a sled but he was more comfortable postholing out, though still in a lot of pain. It is a very painful injury, though not terribly severe. Hospital staff told us that we "did everything right." Had we called EMS, the evac...

    Tales from the Hinterlands 2024/25

    This past Saturday was a great day for a Twigfest, though it ended painfully for one of the crew. Shoulder injury (separated and dislocated) after a tumble resulted in a trip to Huntsville Hospital, with me at the wheel. Nothing like driving for an hour trying to make conversation with someone...

    We got it when we moved here, so about 17 years old. Definitely showing some age but still sittable.

    Tales from the Hinterlands 2024/25

    The chair is looking phat. Twigfest is coming up this weekend, should be good conditions and hopefully not brutally cold like most years. Or cancelled due to lack of snow, like the last two years

    If it wasn't for the border, I'd be all over the 7TMs.
