powderfreak Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Today was a sweet day at the mountain. By this time in the season, its so ingrained in the daily routine that every day is just wake up, go watch the sunrise and alpenglow, then go skiing and exploring for fun turns with good friends all day. Falling is probably something you want to avoid on this run, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Ice fishing from the comfort of a pick-up truck, perfect.lol I was driving through Pittsfield and noticed a couple trucks out on the lake. Real New Englanders don't need "comfort". If I want to sit in a truck I'll take a ride into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not big on fishing from the truck. The lakes I fish are not easy to get a truck out on. I'd rather just have a small fire in a sheltered cove and set my tip-ups out a little ways off.

radarman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sucks that kid died. Hate reading stuff like this. The Cirque is very dangerous and rocky, even in big years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Great pics. Some of the stuff I ski here in my glen empties out down at the stream. In a few months it'll be Trout and Salmon fishing time. (non-ice fishing at least). Looks like a nice brook, right there. Love brook skiing. Always lots of tracks--mink, otter, fisher, etc. Powderfreak--livin' the good life.

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hey, I skied tonight Wachusett had all of 6 trails open and about 50 people on the whole hill. Pretty soft/slushy conditions but it was pretty fun #32 under the belt 10 more to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just a bump. Speaking of bumps, skiing is really looking good in New England right now. Get out and appreciate continued Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Pretty amazing driving down to Taunton for NESC this weekend. Went from a foot of snow on the ground in Plymouth to green fields in MA. I hadn't seen grass since mid December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, still appreciating the hell out of it. If the weather is good, I've always considered March to be our reward for busting ass through a long, tough winter. Skied Burke yesterday--it was excellent. If the weather is ok, I'll take a tour on Wednesday and prob'ly back to Burke again next weekend. The wife and I have two more passes there to use up by the end of the season, so.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a little love here today. Nice to whiten things up and have a little fresh on the trails. Skiing has been fabulous most of this season. A little bit of a scratchy start but since then just sweet on sweet. So glad Winter continues to deliver the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Skiing has continued to be quite good the past couple of days... Yesterday... stepping out for some fresh air in the morning.

ski MRG Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Nice pics Scott. So funny that there are kooks that say Winter ended long ago. At least there are a few people that know how to properly appreciate never-ending Winter.lol Is that first pic the Ice Fall under the Ganjola?

Its a very flat landing but it was in perfect form. And yes, I would expect winter to hang on here between 1,500ft and 4,000ft in northern Vermont a bit longer than it does in the coastal plain of SNE. haha.

Just getting started around here and depending on how the weather plays out, we ought to be done with the mud within four weeks time, if not sooner. Get out the canoe, get out the motorcycle & plant the gahden. Ganjola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Winter...lol Winter has been over since the end of February here. This is deep interior SNE, it only gets worse as you head S and E to the population centers. Spring is arriving slowly but surely, this ice to rain event is just another sign that the warm air is sneaking closer and closer and the days get awfully long as the sun becomes more and more intense... Anyone hanging on for "winter" at this point either lives in a very remote, mountainous location (which is awesome) or is a sick individual. Spring ice and snow is common for us in CNE, as well as NNE of course and winter weather will occur outside of season. Happy Spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still snow on the ground and the air and another month of good skiing/boarding. The nice thing about late winter/early spring is it's time to enjoy the season's accumulation in mild weather.. additional snow is just a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tack on 5 degrees or so for most of SNE. I do agree about enjoying the snow in the milder weather, however that is called Spring Skiing. A season ahead is called Summer, we're not quite there yet. 40 , 51, 56, 45, 43 ,45, 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
