Waiting
Re: Waiting
Looking outside down here, with over a foot of new and @ 2 feet up in the Highlands of fantastic powder on 10-20 inches of glacier....Easy to figure we will be skiing three feet of powder or lots more!....Gawd! Those Noodles are gonna get waxed today!!!! TM
Re: Waiting
I got a nice XC trek on the Hoks yesterday during the storm... but sadly I'm a workin' stiff today.

I got in almost 5 hours of meadow skipping yesterday, and I'm just stiff today.woodchuck wrote:I got a nice XC trek on the Hoks yesterday during the storm... but sadly I'm a workin' stiff today.
Re: Waiting
lol. Just looked at the ten day forecast... it says another foot of snow next Tues.
Re: Waiting
It was pretty warm out there today...I opted for the E99's. It's not fun breaking trail through 24" of fresh snow!
On another note....I used my REI dividend to snag a pair of Fischer T78's....hope they get here before the next storm!

I like the 78's, I just snagged a second pair myself (my first pair is getting long in the tooth and has lots and lots of remounting holes. Lots. In the absence of a crown E109 it's the next best thing....
Great day today at the local hill, especially in the morning. PURE BUTTER. Mashed potatoes by noon. But the morning! SMOOOOOOOOOTH
We'll see about next week. I'm not holding my breath.

I had been re-reading Young Satchels thread, and my thread where you responded to him regarding the 78's several times. I'm really looking forward to these skis. I have several pairs of waxable skis, but wanted a nice wider pair of crowns. I had looked for an E109 crown for the longer length, but it seems they are not made anymore? The 78's are a mid century birthday gift to myself
Looks like we've suffered a great loss of snow already in the last two days!

Re: Waiting
IT"S INSANE NOTCHES AND NORTH.
DO NOT DELAY.
GET THEE NORTH OF THE NOTCHES or INTO THE WHITES AT LEAST.
I just spent two days skiing out of Pinkham. UNREAL conditions. Remember, if your route contains river crossings, the snow bridges have all blown out. Otherwise the skiing is incredible. It'll be windy this weekend, and cold. Perfect wax conditions. GET OUT THERE.

Re: Waiting
It's deep, guys. Everything seems shitty south of the Notches, it's a whole 'nother world in the NC.
Re: Waiting
Sounds like it was pretty awesome up north! It was very icy down here yesterday morning....went out on the USGI's with blue klister. Worked like a charm until it warmed up. Snow got pretty soft, and I went out on the new T78's in the afternoon. Hope we get a little snow this week....I could live without another 2 feet though!
