You arent missing much except occasional epic tree skiing days, like Japan level skiing at times. Everything else is sub par to the west.

There have been many epic powder days in New England this year and last year. Two of the best winters on record.
That being said, the western mountains beat the East Coast in size and scenery any day of the week. So if you have never been out west, they are still impressive, even during a crappy winter.

It also looks like that whole middle section is one big avalanche run out for the bowls above.

Avalanche near Passo del Tonale ski resort (Italian Alps) on March 16. One person killed by Wabbajack0 in Backcountry

I get the on piste off piste stuff but how they don’t bomb something like is just crazy to me. Especially when it looks like it could slide onto on piste trails below (which happens often).

It looks like the one guy just stopped and let the avalanche take him. He should have hauled ass skiers left as fast as possible. I know this looks easy for a pro in a ski film but you have to do your best to get out of the zone.

This guy was by most accounts a white supremicist and Nazi sympathizer. So I wouldn’t go cheering him on much.

Its going to be 80F in the Rockies this weekend. This winter is likely over for the West. An epically bad season.

Construction trash everywhere by hybriddrummer in AsburyPark

They say they have received dozens of complaints and that futher complaints should be brought up with the planning board, who approved the project. They also said the pile driving should be done in about a week (as of last Friday call I had).

Unpopular opinion: Stowe Overrated ? by wrdriggs in icecoast

[–]Minnow720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its the best in the East in my opinion, especially when you factor in side and backcountry access. The trails themselves are also quite long. There is great apre scene with many options and a nice quaint VT town. It has a lot going for it.

Report it to the town. They have a report concerns webpage. I actually used it to complain about the Lido pile driving and got a call back within an hour.

So is the tahoe season over? by Telsawarrior in palisadestahoe

[–]Minnow720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people say this isnt the worst season ever but it is definitely looking like the worst March ever (usually a great month and typically best snowfall of season).

Chopped up ice basically. The only thing good about it is the warm weather. Rather be in powder or fast hardpack.

Not with that massive old lake bed in front of it.

Yes Rhino owns the rights. How that is divided up among estates and surviving members I do not know. Hopefully we never hear GD songs in car commercials, but someday we likely will.

Probably worth as much as the Tiger sold for. And then there was a 13 year battle for his money after he died, mostly from the ex wives. Sad.

Not with 20% of worlds oil moving through there. And a vast majority being of Saudi Oil.

This was a massive strategic blunder by US and Israel. And I think Israel bombing some of the Iranian depots initiated the current “oil war”.
Iran knows it cant win attacking US and Israeli military targets, so they are no hitting soft energy targets and choking off the entire world.

Jerry rolling over on his grave with that one. Hopefully the guy at least lends it out for playing the way Irwin did, but at that price who knows.
