      Getting some cross country action in today, and starting to plan some trips to go snowboarding.

      This is shaping up to be the best winter I've had in a few years…

        Skied my local mountain last night. I frequent their 4 times a week. Last night was so icy I could have gone down the trails on ice skates. I was so pleasantly surprised how my Volkl Kendo's sliced through the ice. Very impressive no chatter and very grippy. Outstanding edge hold for having a 89mm waist. Unless you have skied the east you will not really understand what I am talking about.  East Coasters are not spoiled like you West Coasters and Euros.

              Better than nothing, or even than how flat it is here. We get the most amazing powder you can't do shit with.

                It gets icy out west. It's called boilerplate. That's a west term that you don't here in the east.

                  Are there any snow sports recommendations where you aren't freezing your nuts off?

                      hahahahaha, all i have is an atari 2600, don't think any winter sports were on the consoles back then  🙂

                      i do admire you snow bunnies for going out on those little toothpicks down a snowy mountain fast as hell. i don't want to go out like sunny.  y'all got some balls as any thing i do not have control over scares the sh!t out of me . . . yes, i'm scared of a bunch of stuff.

                        We are talking about different kinds of conditions. I have been everywhere between Hood & Whiteface. Including some of my faves A Basin, squaw, black comb and mad river. We are talking different animals here.

                                  I can definitely relate to the east coast cold and ice. Grew up snowboarding most nights at blue mountain in Ontario, riding boilerplate ice, makes your riding skills much stronger for sure, and night skiing is such a pleasure after a long day.  Where is your home mountain d666? Someone requested action photos, so I will comply.

                                    I live 3 min from Mountain Creek. It's a small mountain with horrible icy terrain. With a great park. It's great for what it is. Get out of work ski for 3 hours come home before jake goes to bed. I have only made up to VT three times so far this season Killington, Okemo and Mad River.

                                        I've been to killington in the past, fun mountain with a ton of terrain.  Was there in 1996(?) after the massive ice storm and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen with all the trees just caked in ice

                                          Tuckermans should be a great time as well. You should post a TR after for sure

                                            Aside from east coast elitist assholes (think Taos or Aspen) and insanely crowded weekends. Killington is one of the biggest gems in the east coast big mountain & beautiful terrain
