i broke my binding in the glades last weekend but its defiantly skiable. there a couple risky bare spots but the snow its pretty good for this time of the year. I was on a school ski trip this weekend at smuggs last year and the snow might not be as good as that but its defiantly fun.

ohh have no fear...all of the gapers from my school will have their rental skis popping off in your jumping-park and they will be sitting in the landings of your kickers and hitting the ride on's to the boxes.

haha
some of that is true but me and a few of my friends will try to keep em in line

Can I get a serious outlook on how smuggs is. Im planning on coming up to VT on the second. Either Smuggs or Sugarbush. The bush looks kinda more solid with castlerock open plus the snow thats coming. While Madonna is open, but not a lot of shit is open yet.

this saturday they are having their first altitude adjustment events...i was just up there shredding some real fun east coast pow. everyone in the area should come up fe sho! come this weekend ill be there with my camera shooting for a promo video for smuggs, come on up and get famous! as i was leaving the cats were just starting to push the piles of snow around in various shapes, one of them looked like they had a big ol pole at an upward angle...sickter launch kinda slide thing hopefully...

bottom line, see you up there on sat or yous a fool! ive seen them check tickets on the t bar once out of 4 years riding there, granted i havent been there in about 3 but still...go up, itll be sick!
