I think I had the same problem when posting my Jay Peak report. I've got it up here - http://tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76993 - instead. Nice action on your part, Scott. Looking forward to more, no doubt. d.

Thanks for all these updates, Scott! Very much appreciated by those of us looking to play hookie. However, for some reason, I hesitate to click this link while at work...

From the Jay Peak message board in response to my questions: "We have the Jet and Haynes open top to bottom, and two beginner trails off the metro chair. Montrealer is open with some walking needed to get back to the Jet. There is no way to ski between Stateside and Tramside base areas.Informed...

Yeah, not too many Bros on the East Coast, but they are out there. To be honest, the girth does take a run or two to get used to, but after that it is rarely an issue (I haven't been on my Karmas since I got these). They're super-light given their size (as light or lighter than the above...

Was there that day as well, and, damn, was it fun. Though I'm not quite ready for spring skiing, I did enjoy the soft snow and warm weather and took advantage of limiting lines at the Tram. Played off the Ridge for most of the day and was much impressed with my new Bro Model skis...

Did I hear my name? :wink: Sunday was definitely the top day of the season and rivalled many days in the past. Only wish I could have been there Saturday to reap the rewards of a wind-hold day. Sick and ashamed and happy (and the Jay link reference above keeps growing...so check back every...

Hey, Marc. Yeah, I still pop in fairly often, but don't post too much (as is obvious from my green circle status). Still rockin' out at Jay as much as possible, though it's been tough so far this year. How's life in SLC treating you? Can't imagine it's too bad... Anyhow, here's a poseur pic...

Sunday was deemed as a good day to explore a long-closed ski hill up in the Laurentians. We left under raining skies and drove through huge puddles next to soggy snowbanks. Undaunted, we put on our skins and started sliding upwards. It didn't take long before the rain turned to snow. Heavy, wet...

I concur.

No love for the video? Too big? Too much of a hassle to download? Sick and ashamed and happy (and seeking acknowledgment :wink: ), d.

Here's a video put together from that day. It's big (30MB), but short (2 minutes). http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/skiing/jayjan16.wmv You need to be a member, but it's free, easy and absolutely no spam is involved. A couple of teaser pics follow... SaAaH (and feel free to make whatever...

First off, I would hardly call those pictures stunning :wink:. Second, I suppose danger is relative to the individual. I've been skiing in the woods since pretty much the second week of their opening and I don't feel I am putting myself at any greater risk than normal. Marginal conditions =...

For sure, the groomers at Jay today were ice rinks. Ice rinks packed with holiday gapers. But that's to be expected given the weather of late and the fact that it's the holidays. Lines were long, but certainly nothing worth complaining about. As for no powder, I wonder what the stuff in these...

You don't waste any time getting these reports out, do you? Nicely done and nice pics. Haven't been able to view my video yet as the heads appear to need a cleaning. Hopefully I can still salvage the footage, but it might all be lost. We shall see. Anyhow, I'll be back tomorrow to finish off...

Cool. I know what to look for now, so hopefully I'll see you there. I expect we'll be in the tramhaus sometime between 8:30 and 9:00. After that...wherever the snow takes us!
