First rule for a Colorado snow reporter, "There is no hardpack". See thru ice=packed powder. Damn, maybe I should apply for the job. Right on. Sam you are right on. In the spring is it slushy powder or wet packed powder? In SoCal it's all packed powder all the time. Frequently slushy packed powder in the afternoon, even in winter. Generally solid-ice-corduroy packed powder first thing in the morning. -- Cheers, Bev ==================================== Start worrying -- details to follow. |

Some New England areas are the same. Of course, I need to wear crampons to cross some of the "packed powder".

We have lots of deer nearby. The good news is that hunting season opens early next month. Mine's EXCELLENT, I thought you should know. : ) Bastad. I went to Wal-Mart today and nearly was smothered between two fat chicks in sweats trying to squeeze past me on both sides in the frozen food aisle. On the other hand, I had to move back to New York to make it so. I understand. I tried to hunt deer in Northern Minnesota for years and came away frustrated year after year. Moved down here, and normally our hunt ends before the sun comes up on opening day. Its not a matter of bagging a deer, its a matter of which deer to bag. You can afford to be choosy even, and still have time for beer before brunch. : ( Don't even ask. I just finished Bryson's "walk in the woods" and really can't stop thinking about how great it would be to have a mountain, 'any' mountain nearby to hike. I must see Mt. Washington someday soon. I was unaware that the Appalacian trial ran over and near so many ski mountains. Does it go right over Killington? That was in there, but I'm not sure if it was one of his day hikes on the trail or off. So it can't be that bad. Plus, New York has chicks. We have deer. nate |

To quote: "Killington has granted a perpetual easement to the Green Mountain Club and the Appalachian Trail Conference to ensure unobstructed public access to scenic hiking trails." from : http://www.skivermont.com/page.asp?intNodeID=9670 See webcam: http://www.rsn.com/cams/1,1051,DETAIL=1146,00.html Fortunately, the seasons are compatible.

I tried to hunt deer in Northern Minnesota for years and came away frustrated year after year. Try hunting Doublebreasted Bedbounders instead. Its not a matter of bagging a deer, its a matter of which deer to bag. You can afford to be choosy even, and still have time for beer before brunch. I typically subscribe to the theory "If it's brown, it's down", if you know what I mean.... So it can't be that bad. Plus, New York has chicks. Indeed. Not to mention the Yankees and the Fingerlakes.

Fat .... CLIP OK guys - let's stay within shouting distance of the topic - which is moderate skiing - Wait-that's not right. It's skiing while modervated - Wait-that's not it either. It's alpine skiing - that's it. So toss in an occasional reference to the underlying raison d'etre and normalcy shall prevail, thus sayeth Calvin Coolidge the dedicated outdoorsman and expert skier. BTW, Alpine Meadows announced yesterday that they would open Friday. Naturally the day dawned perfectly clear, after snowing through the weekend; and the forecast shows nothing for a week. Alpine apparently killed the golden storm; here's hoping the announcement didn't deter future storms. |

Egads!! Am I on the verge of being blackballed?!
