JACKSON HOLE
If you book more than 6 days at Jackson and buy lift tickets for each day they will give you $300 in air credit. As someone who is a scavenger for lift tickets and sleeps on floors for their vacations- this isn't a good deal. But, if you plan on paying full price for everything- this will help you out. Book before 8/31/13.

BUSH STASHES- THE SUGARBUSH ADVENTURE

the giant

Last time we hit the Bush it was -10, hadn't snowed in a while, and the giant's ribs were fractured. 

Despite that lovely equation- i became hooked.

Couldn't wait to get back and get in those trees.

This time we headed to Sugarbush in the middle of March- the giant, robot, and me.

Bare with me, it was a couple of months ago and my memory is, well.......

 

 

 Last season the snow gods were with me. This case was no different. We arrived with 10 reported inches waiting for us. 

 As you can see from this pic of robot's snow angel this 10" wasn't always 10". And there wasn't much of a base under that 10" in many places in the trees.  

 But we found those stashes......

We spent most of our time on Lincoln Peak hiking over to Castlerock or dropping those trees before.

 

 

 Don't laugh at that 3,812' vert, west coasters. It can get gnarly in there. Steep with some serious bushwacking.  And i have a "this looks like a good line" way of looking at things that tends to ruin boards.

As you can see in this pic. of the giant exiting a line that i promised he would fit in.

 

 

 Sugarbush doesn't groom a lot. i love that- like it raw. And this is mega rad- they don't run the Castlerock lift. (i'm not sure about ever, but some locals said never) So, you have to hike to get to it. Which means more stashes

robot

robot had such an excellent time. He bought the end of the season pass and stayed.

Big thanks to Ride Vermont for the lift tickets. Also big thanks to Chestnut Mountain Productions for the tickets to the Warren Miller flick where we got Sugarbush tickets.

VERMONT VACATION
I don't really understand this contest. But this is what I think it is- win a trip to a cheese farm or dairy and stay with the strange family that owns the cheese-farm-dairy-thing and eat all their cheese.
I'm so in.

FUNNY THINGS IDIOTS PUT ON THEIR CARS

This post was inspired by myself and my Gaping post this week.
 

What is the deal with this guy. I saw this license plate in Jay Peak's parking lot and I couldn't stop laughing. It also made me scream "ENRAGED" in my best death metal voice all day. Which no one around me liked.  

Got this pic. in the city which is not quite where you want to go for some prime hick racing time.
 Or is it?
Also goggled Hick Racing and it is a real thing. I like Larry "The Hippo" Hicks. Hippos and race cars go hand in hand.

Got this one in a liquor store parking lot in Salt Lake.
GIT-R-DONE
Pretty sure this person is king of mullets and was buying Natty Ice.

JUST A LITTLE BIT- SPRING SNOW STORIES

I love riding on dirt and rocks. It is the coolest.

Perhaps this is why I'm always trashing my board.

It's too fun to snow patch hop in the spring, when the snows all soft.

Can't get enough.

 It definitely runs in the family. Here is my pops and lil bro getting those last turns down Lil Easter.

April 2013 Sun Valley- ID

 Here's El Squat. We had to hop a fairly large gap to get this sweet patch.
