Decent low angle 6-7 inches of heavy on the bottom and light on the top powder. Good for conditioning. Will hit the Highlands for some easy logging road skiing with 4-5 hundred verts. Good start. TM

Headed up to the Highlands and headed South and broke out to Dead Moose Pond. generally there was a foot of really good snow. Had about 10 inches of blue on with a longer section of green. Woulda coulda and shoulda wiped it off but who cares when breaking. Quiet out there and Dead Moose Pond is covered with ice which I didn't test. Will return soon and on the other side of the Gap someone (teleking) had been up that way. Will head there tomorrow and see what is happening out there. 12 INCHES! TM

Shoot Teleman, when I read Dead Moose Pond, I was figuring Teleman got wet again this year. Good to hear you got nice snow.

14 inches with every branch and limb holding @ 6-8 inches. White world with lite powder on top and heavier stuff down below. Great stuff! My trip was a mile in on a very easy main logging road. Saw telekings track and he went up on a ridge and scored some wonderful turns even if I didn't see them. I know! The 205's really toured beautifully and were fast on the low angle down. Scored some decent really decent long arcs. Today will repeat or may go to Teleknob. If I repeat will bring out my 215 99's and see what they can do. If I go to Teleknob then the Rebounds will do nicely. Fish, just a couple hundred verts of seriously steep, or moderate with wide open Hardwoods'. Choices this early in the season, jeebers! TM
