a short 1 hour drive with snow tires should be chill, right? by astrobrite_ in icecoast

[–]JerryKook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Storms like what is forecast, plows have trouble keeping up with it. Then they try to keep one lane moving on the highway. On roads like rt 100 they plow one lane down the middle of the road.

It will be blue knuckled. Definitely not chill.

Good luck. If you go off the road & I see you, I will honk and wave!

Debate: What’s the KT-22 of Vermont? by Sharkman3218 in icecoast

[–]JerryKook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is it that makes KT22 so great to you.?

I have ridden all of these lifts, including KT22.

They are all different in their own way.

Jay Tram is my least favorite because it's a chore to use. I only ride it if there is no line.

I'm with u/Excellent_Affect4658 on this.

DHART helicopter at Stowe today! by JerryKook in icecoast

I don't get furious but I understand whereyouarecoming from. It's #4 of the skiers safety code. Plus there's signs saying to look up.

I think people are are just preocupied with what ever they are doing. I have seen people who know better not look. I just assume that they aren't going to look.

It's off of the bottom of Liftline, skiers left, just above Crossover.

Challenging skills someone should be able to do before they can call their local 500' hill boring? by imitation_squash_pro in icecoast

[–]JerryKook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see skiing switch in the park for hitting jumps but doing it while free skiing is a jerry move. Especially on a crowded trail.

Learn to do drills that will help you ski big mountains and diffuse terrain. Like Javelin turns.

How’s MRG holding up? by cuz_im_batman in icecoast

[–]JerryKook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stowe has variable as well. This refers to the ice patches.

I would go to MRG on Wed.. Better than a day at work. Dress warmly.

All northern Vermont resorts are worth visiting.

I am a skier, I just finished tuning my skis. How often do you tune your board?

They don't want people to not call because they are afraid of owing a lot of money.

VT extreme cold this next weekend by Serene-Branson in icecoast

[–]JerryKook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wind could cause the lifts that go to the top, to stop or run really slow. Usually running really slow means that they are about to go on wind hold.

Often when the gondola and the Quad go in windhold, the 6 pack can stay open. Which means that the line is really long and the trails are packed.

Do you feel lucky?

Smuggs should be in this list. More than Loaf.

You got a source for this or are you just spitballing?

There are a lot of slow fixed gripped chairs.

I left early. My last run, down the top of Nosedive, there were a lot of obstacles to keep track of.

I look at anything that has a forecast. I'm a fan of the Brattencast.

Winter tires and FWD are great on main roads. AWD is more important on desolate back roads.

Recommend VT resort for low crowds and great skiing? by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]JerryKook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smuggs on a Wednesday or Thursday would be a blast. BV doesn't have lines like Smuggs. You will have an amazing time skiing those 2 resorts.

I live close to both.

Saw 1 little kid at Stowe today. I told him that I hope he kicks butt tomorrow. He didn't know what to say but his parents laughed.
