Perfect North got a crazy new snowmaking machine and put two rails out last weekend. Pretty surreal.

been touring up at Alta recently, got a good blister, but what's really given me the bug is getting a setup that isn't Daymakers plus Revolt 114 on STH16s which weighed a million pounds, realized I actually kind of like hiking uphill to ski now until lifts run.

I always feel like early season I ski like trash, but I don't care. Fun little jumps at the bottom of Alta too right now.

It's definitely low tide, but you can ski Alta T2B right now and that's better than not skiing

The right gear can make or break your day

My first day this year was at Baker. Dumped 3’ overnight and by morning it was really warm. First time that I actually enjoyed the uphill more than the down.

Hoping I can grab at day at Stowe before Thanksgiving. Need boot work and to test some race skis. Crazy that is looking iffy.

Getting married on Sunday so the late start to the season isn't a big deal but I will go full send on 2 pre Xmas trips and fly somewhere Jan 1 as well. Everything will be on the shorter end and 3-5 days. Very thankful I didn't spend money on a seasonal rental condo again.

Yeah! Timberline is up and running as of 2 weeks ago. Preseason sneak peak weekend was pissing cold rain, just like last year. I could only handle about 3 hours, but Oregondead went all day. It's good snow for the snowpack. Skateboarding season is officially over as of last weekend, so only missed 1 weekend of skiing during the overlap and so happy to be back into the winter season!
