Revenge of the Dynafits
So I was beat from the weekend, but I just couldn't resist heading out to check on the conditions. Expected 5-6" of tracked out heavy snow, found 13"+ of light dry powder with only a few tracks before me. Also got to hit a mini line that'd been staring at me for years without me even noticing it was there

What A Weekend!!!
My body is sore, my gear is destroyed, and I'm beat
storm came in over 4 days and dumped @ 20" of snow in VT
Spent 3 days at Magic and then headed to Killington for Sunday after the crowds had left
Highlights of the trip included consecutive days of scoring first tracks on Redline(including first tracks of the year), getting to hit a bunch of trees that were worked on all summer, and ripping around with good friends.
Now hitting the ice and advil

Spinning the wheels
Spent Wednesday at Magic Mountain getting re-acquainted with some of the best ski terrain in all of New England.
Of course even the mellow terrain at Magic has the ability to shred your legs and I woke up stiff and sore, and given that there's the potential for a big weekend I decided that it'd be a good idea to get out and spin the wheels a little bit. Plus I figured it'd be a good idea to check what conditions looked like after the rainstorm earlier in the week.
I really had pretty low expectations given the last time I had been out conditions were crusty and thin. However I was pleasantly surprised to find that while the rain had thinned the snowpack considerably, it obliterated any of the remaining crust layer and set up a bombproof base.
The area had picked up 3-4" of snow which made for surprisingly good skiing above 2000'. Below that there was a very definitive rain/snow line and conditions deteriorated accordingly.
Looking forward, I feel very good about the snowpack and with an added 3-6" this weekend hopefully getting our season going for good

Winter finally arrives!
It's about time
Picked up 4" of snow last night
So of course a snowman had to be built
This morning I headed out to try some junkboarding near the Mass border and while it wasn't great skiing it was fun to get out
