The first east coast turns of the season have been made!
A 5:30am wake up proved to be a tad on the early side. After a nice couple cups of coffee and breakfast I headed to the Stowe parking lot. Bits of wintery mix hit my windshield but there was nothing on the ground…
Arriving at the parking lot things looked a bit grim. Whatever. I’m here, I might as well walk to the top and see what up there.
Right as I started walking it began snowing. A quick inch fell! Just enough!
Last year Whiteface got over a foot of snow in December so I figured at least the trails they had open were good to go. I took a pretty good core / edge shot to one of the skis that I did not yet consider rock skis…it was so bad I don’t even know if I should try skiing on them again. I hope to fix them so that they can be my early season skis for a while.
yes, I prefer an inch to a foot for exactly that reason. You can see what’s underneath 😉
Come on man, stop it! That’s not even a nice thing to do to the rock skis in your quiver! At least wait until you can’t SEE anything other than snow on the ground.
I had fun 🙂 and I apologized to my skis. They understood 🙂
Way to get after it, Aaron!
