Prepping my skis for NEG!!!
Next year, we should have NEG t-shirts. I can design them.

That's a weird photo. Everything looks small. Are the skis 140's? Are you living in Middle Earth? ( a trail at Sugarbush btw)

Finally was more or less well enough today to do some work from home. No fever. Finished my assignment. Went downstairs to scrape and brush a pair of skis (not with a car snow brush, I hasten to add). Did that for ten minutes and nearly passed out. So ... taking it really easy and not promising myself I'll be ready to ski Friday. We'll see how tomorrow shapes up. Basebox with cocoa may be about the size of it.

I did my edges over the weekend, but have to put some wax on. Looks like temperatures will be teens to twenties.

(Compared to Utah this is going to feel cold.)

@JohnL your imagination is slipping. One of each, dude. Done.

I have socks that match like that. Just don’t ski to my left.

Bring that gear and you can pay for your trip on ski waxing between Scott and myself. Life has slammed me since the Utah GTG; any while you wait waxing near our itinerary? Flying in and woke up with a major bug today, so diy not an option this weekend.

What site you using? NWS off area sites indicating 30s. Maybe at base?

Snow-forecast.com app, choosing midmountain option.

FYI, the official Stowe forecast link: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapCli...62&site=btv&smap=1&unit=0&lg=en&FcstType=text

Currently showing night-time lows in the mid-teens and day time highs in the high 20s. And -- just like how it's always sunny in Philadelphia -- it's always windy in Stowe, so subtract another couple degrees for good measure.

Close! How about an apt in Brooklyn?...and ours is pretty spacious compared to most!
That bench is as high as my kneecaps.

(not with a car snow brush, I hasten to add).

Haha. That thing was cheaper than the paintbrushes I was looking at. I can also use the ice scraper for the wax on the edges and the the stuff that drips onto the top sheets of my skis. I know I use way too much wax. My skis are starting to look like candles.

For those not on the Mountain Collective - did you buy your Sugarbush tickets yet and if so where?

 

[Pumba]

I bought Peter's ticket on Liftopia. It was 89.25.

No worries - was able to score three tickets, including RFID cards, for $140

An Apt. in Brooklyn is the new hot spot to be in "The City" Cool
