With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

So the girl I am seeing right now is having issues with a professor (married with three kids), who is blatantly hitting on her and has asked for sex.  I would find this absolutely hilarious if he didn't have a family, but he does so it's only kind of funny (but still hilarious for me).  Anyways, he won't seem to back off apparently, so I am tenatively being commissioned to mess with him through creative means such as mocking love poems (he has written serious ones to her).  This has the potential to be really, really fun.

Oh yeah, his youngest daughter is a year older than me.  So maybe this is just funny in a morbid, despicable way, but I will take it.

That's awesome for you, mocking people through poetry creates a sort of snobby nerd pride that isn't possible to create any other way.

In other news, I skied 8" of fresh snow after enduring since the 11th with nothing. It was also in an area I've never been before, and this place hadn't been skied forever, which made the day all that more amazing.

I took today off, but all in all, I'd say around 18 inches fell up at Killington/Pico.

Doing dawn patrol up at Pico tomorrow. It should be ridiculous with all untouched snow. Definitely a tree day as well as the winds are a whipping up there tonight. There will likely be deposits in places of close to 3 feet.

Woke up at 2 am to hike Stowe w/Phil around 4:30 am.  First tracks.  Beat every single person in existence to the top.  Turned on my ipod shuffle and the That's It That's All soundtrack kicked in.  Props to Phil for front flipping the waterfall.  Fucking epic!

The best part was tearing down under the gondola around 7 am.  3 guys were hiking for first tracks and around halfway up the slope we went tearing past them.  Those dudes were pissed.  Get up earlier if you want first tracks.

Wowww, 4:30 a.m... Karma for that!




Stoked that my turn has finally come; after 3 years of patience, I'm going for an interview at 3 P.M. today, to potentially move from supervisor to more of a manager...not really sure why they're holding an interview, they know what I'm capable of/what I'm like...oh well, will soon find out.

Apparently he's convinced they are in love now, so the situation has gotten a little to real to be funny anymore.  The advances are totally unabashed, so I'm not really sure what he's up to--I am somewhat perplexed when it comes to figuring out the psyche of a 50+ year old man trying to pick up his 19-year-old student.  So that is a major buzz kill, and I really don't want to have to get involved in this on a serious level.

Niiiiice.

Me and Ian scored first tracks at Pico this morning by hiking.

Unfortunately the high winds had utterly and completely FUCKED the snow though. I take it that did not happen up north more?

Jesus christ, I remember leaving the bar and heading home, but nothing after. Good lord. I wanted to cry when I woke up. Sucked it up and drove out to the mountain hoping it would subside on the drive. Kinda did, Jack in the Box helped. Good day skiing though, we finally got fresh. Slabs cracking off everywhere in the BC made hiking a bit sketchy, but rewarding.

It didn't destroy it, but it definitely took its toll. Upper waterfall had about +10" on it, but under the gondola was mostly windblown. Check the first 3 pics of me tagged on facebook. Those are the upper section. Here's the video of the bottom half. It was all windblown pockets, but well worth it.

I bet it was my buddy Christian who stole first tracks from you at Pico:) He skins before teaching 7th graders.

May have been him we ran into. He had arrived at the same point when we had started skiing down. There were 2 guys. One on teles, and one that had a lockdown heel (may have been alpine touring as well).

Pico was for the most part ruined. There were sections of the mountain that had NO snow on them and you could see grass and rocks. There was some okay snow in places, but overall it was the consistency of cement and very slabbed.

Killington side fared better with the snow not being as beat up. It still was far from pow though and took a lot of work to slay.

No one ever does avy control at Stowe.  It's far too steep.

Steve, this summer get a GPS and go hiking where the Long Trail goes around Kmart.  When you see any orange tape, go immediately up the hill, and rip the tape down.  There are lots of backcountry stashes.  The guys who cut them rip down the tape as well.  The rule is if you can't find it w/o tape, you shouldn't be back there.

Thanks, Ashley. Skins and snowshoes are definitely the way to go.

That was the bottom and I had to get to work back in Burlington. This is what we hiked for.

Did yoyo laps through the BC all day with a good friend, and it was great skiing. Soft and creamy, and way better then inbounds. Sun was out, snow was stable, and life is good.

I just got off all my meds for my knee on thursday, so last night we celebrated by getting tanked and going galactic bowling, it was sick!  After that was a VIP showing of Flash Gordon (best movie EVER) with free pizza at 1:00



Then got back to the GF's house at 3:30 only to be locked out for a while...some pounding on windows gained admittance from a hostile roomate.  This morning we went out for gigantic breakfast burritos at a super nice place downtown, then watched Borat and rounded out the best 24 hours I have had in quite some time. I have made some significant changes to my life the last few weeks, and the past week has verified 100% that I have made the right decisions.

^ Sick!  Love the yeah b! at the end.  It makes me think of Half Baked.

Jay was sick today. If any of you live on the east coast and don't come up here this season, I will be personally offended. Then, I will post videos of the backcountry we're doing tomorrow and you will feel sad. No one wants that.
