So true. Teleking and I built a "seventh wonder of the Kingdom" chimney on an outcrop looking over a Pond with few if any people around. Used to do exactly what you describe. Thinking we will have to head back up there soon. TM

Telekid and Teleking led the way, and we packed the skis on our packs and up we went. About a mile in found a decent crashed tree and began the process of getting a fire going. Rest of the time we hung around and a little skiing where the Sun couldn't but slowly get to that snow. Great day with Sun ...

I have been fortunate to see many parts of our world. Alps Rockies Big mountains in China, just lucky! The most beautiful and rewarding is out in this tiny world of Fishball hills around here. Seen a lot but this is where I want to be. Lucky! TM

Most snow on West and South side is gone but around ponds and Wetlands tons. Teleking and I were skiing around in the wet zones that had tons of snow when a bald eagle checked us out. Flew to a scrawny tree just above us and the tree bent when it landed. Took a look at us and then burst into the air...

Snow up in the Highlands was good and the skiing decent. Full coverage and rounded with snow that made the skis turn without much force. Great to be out there. Roads are mud and my jeep is a wreck with no back window and a gas leak. Bummer but as long as the snow stays not much use in getting the ju...

Soon, hopefully will also be skiing in shorts and T shirt. Jeece yesterday bunch of people showed up for the eclipse and sugaring. Sugar house was steaming and the eclipse was thrilling. Dogs were running and the kids were snow balling. Gotta do some thingers today then i can get back to my mission ...

Low expectations this morning. Went up the ridge with last week's wax on the ski and it was good. Thought i would sink in but stayed on the surface. Going down was fast with some really sweet turns of the long kind. Wicked good with @ 30 inches of snow and everything rounded and waiting. Did i menti...

Been in a steam bath for a week. Over 40 gallons of Maple Syrup and continuing. Next few days should finish up. Good year so far! TM

Sunday was full of slow and cold powder. Had to hit anything steep or the skis wouldn't respond. Broke a mile out on a gentle logging road then broke into the Hardwoods and shot a few slow short steeps. Headed out and the up trail was good. Drove over to Boots place where Telekid, Teleking,and Telew...

Will tell everybody again! Tucks, great snow! Place was jumping. Boarders showed up in UNIFORM! One was a good-looking female. They boarded down the right side, gully? Told the boys, "Ok show time!" Did screaming long high speed arcs and the show was rooster tail exploding. Wicked snow or I would ha...
