Foo - Ski with Pcad Day @ Hunter Mountain NY

Who's with me? I want to go some time in December, mid-week.

Actually, I don't think any of you can hold my ski wheel. You pathetic ski Freds.

You know, I may actually even get my Volkls tuned for this. Oh yes.

I have no clue what you are saying.

I think pcad needs to lay off the crack.

And me and my snowblades would completely pwn you. As long as you stay outta the powders.

Looks like fun. I'll see what I can do.

Skiing in the east is more like ice skating.Pathetic.Gimme Big Cottonwood Canyon powder any day.The problem with Hunter mountain is too many New Yorkers ski there.

All too true. But Pcad's wobbly little stick legs won't allow him to make his way down the steeper, longer slopes we have here, so if you want to ski with the king, it looks like Hunter Mountain is one of the few options.

get out.

Correct.

Skiing is for wimps. Go SURFING. Now that's a man's sport.

lol

First real storm of the season today, I think I may need to hike for some turns tomorrow!

Hunter mtn is like skiing in staten island.

Besides, there's no such thing as a "mountain" east of the Rockies. Y'all just have little zit bumps out there.

If you can make it to Slowshoe WV I'll show up. :)

Of course you'd be planting your head on the World Cup Ice of Hunter Mtn.

On the other hand Pcad has mastered the powder snow thing. Which did take about 9 trips out west. You should have seen my friggin head plants.

Best skiing in the east. (http://www.madriverglen.com/)

Hardly.

I see a lot of mad river glen bumper stickers in Utah.

Whats better pcad? I have never skied east of Colorado.

I just got this terrible vision that somewhere there is a parallel universe with a website called skiforums.net, and in it there are many posts about ruing and coveting....many pictures of Pacad's ski schwag....a never-ending thread called "ask pcad anything..."....some carbon fiber ski poles with horrendous cable routing..an online ski supplier called skisdirect....a banned user named botto....

Is it possible that Pcad could be dominating two online sports forums?

It's all too horrifying to contemplate.

Are you kidding?

Utah pisses on friggin Mad River Glen. Friggin Sugarbush pisses on Mad River.

Few ski areas are as over rated, or as undeservedly legendary as Mad River. I'm sure it's great after a 2' dump. Please. So is Hunter.

I hear Jay Peak is nice. Of course it probably takes less time to fly to Salt Lake and then drive to Solitude than it takes to drive to Jay from where I live, but still. Jay gets a ton of snow.

Question.When did you last ski mad River?

I'm in, but why December? They probably won't even be fully open!

Because that's when it will be, that's why. I need to get some vertical in before Xmas you friggin lightweight ski posers.

Question.When did you last ski mad River?

Probably 6-7 years back. It was all open. We even skiied that waterfall death 'trail' of icy mogul doom.

I wasn't really all that impressed with the place to tell you the truth. I'm sure its charms may become more apparent if you're a local and you catch it on fresh powder days.

Yeah I guess being a reformed ski bum gives you a different perspective.I despise Hunter.

Incorrect.

Mount Mitchell would disappear if you dropped it in the Sierras.

:roflmao2:

Serious, pcad I hope you guys have a great ski weekend.

I despise Hunter.

I've skied there quite a bit over the past 30+ years, 90%+ of the time mid-week. It's really a great mountain without the crowds. I've had some amazing days there. With that high speed quad on the front you can log some serious vertical in a day. Even the double chair on the steeper back side isn't a long ride. I'm generally fried by 3PM or so.

However I would encourage you to badmouth the place to everyone you know, particularly on the ski forums. Fewer Snow Freds for me to dodge.

:lol::lol::lol:

you laugh, but if I manage to show up, you will rue the friggin day.

You ain't skied 'till you skied the "Wall" at Holiday Valley. So steep it has avalanches.

You guys have mountains below the 49th? I thought those were just foothills for the Canadian Rockies ;)

Here I thought the Canadian Rockies were just foothills for the brooks range.

Not even close. At 9000 ft elevation, they're just babies.

Snow is snow you idiots. You crank 'em down and you carve it up. I've skiied all over North America, from waist deep powder Utah steeps to Sierra cement to Killington in the rain (it was 22ºF at the time by the way), and it's all the same: carve and turn or crash and burn.

5% powder, Utah snow is the bestest. All snow is not created equal!

Of course the snow is better in the American West than in the Northeast (much of the time, not always). Regardless skiing is skiing.

Ask Bode Miller how much he cares about powder. He's the guy that skis 80 mph on courses the whacko Euros hose the F down to make them nice and 'firm' for the ski races he participates in.

Who's with me? I want to go some time in December, mid-week.

Does this mean you have graduated from the bunny slopes at Shawnee? Congratulations!!!!

Actually my bikes are 420 free and this is a thread about skiing.

Who wants to borrow my key to the transporter to stop over in france for a few days? Keys to the transporter came with the diploma I got from grad school...

Oh good. Just in time.

Jay is far from NYC, I've been 3 times. I can say probably some of the best glades on the east but still way too cold for it to face north like that. That CA / VT feel oh boy, talk about wind. Anyways, sorry I'll never ride Hunter, I'd rather go West to PA and hit the poconos bunny slopes doing 30 runs then driving home by 11am before I set my snowboard down at Hunter.
