Time to get creative and shred everything within walking distance. Oh, and beware of roof avalanches.

hopefully you have snowshoes, put them on, and hike up to the top of sundown, shred. Remember to lean back hard as I am assuming you are on short park skis.

Oh, and yeah... this is a good thing.

I you can't get to the hill just ski off your roof. The pow will cushion the drop.

The amount of stoke on this site when the EC gets snow is unreal.

The majority of people on this site that live on the East Coast aren't old enough to move to the west or they truely enjoy being in the east as far as living goes. So yeah, be fucking stoked for them, they are getting a little taste of heaven!

That and 37 inches is a lot for anywhere overnight. Even the west.

Man we didn't even get a ton at Stratton but I was more stoked than you could imagine. I found some mini east coast pillows and had a blast today.

Spent a while bushwacking, but eventually found some nice lines.

haha oh man, this was one of the biggest storms in history for the east coast? when you guys get hit it's a "state of emergency" when we get hit we're ready and we'll be skiing the next day.

pretty sure Silverton got 50" plus a week or two ago with a storm that hit the san juans... (in one of the shittiest seasons).. nice try east coast shredderrrrrr
