@Bridge4 Gotta get you doing some uphill travel to burn those beers off.
You and that "mod" guy.

 

I quit drinking years ago just so I could avoid those hill climbs


I might have to give it a shot though, because I see so many people try it there's gotta be some reason for it!

 

Morning neighbors

 

Gonna go out this morning for a few hours and try to clean up that snow from last night before it fucking melts all over the place and leaves me with parking lots full of slush and ice the rest of the year.

 

How much ya get ? We got a dusting last night and about half inch yesterday. About 16” on the ground though .

 

We got close to 20 inches from the big storm. But I think yesterday and into the night we must have gotten 4-5 more inches. I think that's too much for me to expect a clean melt off, so I'm gonna spend a couple hours in the tractor blowing it into the woods.

 

This is too much too soon if you ask me

 

100% with you. I like to have it come slow and mentally get ready for it. If we had just gotten this 5 it would have been fun. At this point it's taking up all my free time keeping up with it lol.

We better have some down for Christmas after a start like this though!

 

Have you seen a lot of them at JP?

Yes. This warm up is going to suck ass.
Be sure to clean it off the roof, if you can. Going to be heavy.

 

Yea most of it could be gone after Tuesday with rain and warmer temps coming .

 

Honestly, no. Jiminy seems to have more of the guys who pull their heels up on turns though. I saw a lot of the climbers at Berkshire East. I almost think it might be a little early in the year for them to come out though, with a limited snow base it might not be as good of a time? Every time I see one I yell at them they are going the wrong way. They always have big smiles and seem to really like it, so there's gotta be something I'm missing!

I hope it's not all gone, I'd like a few inches left. We are looking at mid 40's monday and low 50's tuesday with maybe an inch or more rain combined.

 

NOOOOOooooooooooooo..........!

That's great. I'd give you a big smile too.
You are right about it being early. This base is a great start. I may have to get up to a couple secret locations tomorrow to check things out.
I really have to get to BE this season. Have never been.

 

@DrFunker you still going out this morning? It is COLD. 0 at my house when I woke up, warming up to close to 5 now! We are moving out around 11 and its supposed to warm up quite a bit by then.

 

Just got back.
Perfect temp to be skinning. I never overheat.
Felt so good to be out.....but I sure am outta shape.

 

Hope y’all ready to go from winter to spring over night!

 

Boo!

 

Good we have an early start so you have a long season to build up!

Bromley was fun. About half the mountain isn't open yet though. The snow they had was good though.

 

What could yall be possibly doing VOLUNTARILY in those temps this morning?

 

Cool.
I like that mtn.
Busy?
