First off: Feel better mc_roon and get better in time for me to ski with you in January. Props to toby and whoever else was with him, sounds like you guys had it together from what soul said.
We've been back at the usual winter routine now and it feels great. Lots of time at stowe and elsewhere and a brief trip to the 'dacks. Its been a great week of skiing despite the finals. This TR is a little half assed, I'm still trying to finish up some school work.
watch allen's video before you look at the photos: (how do I embed?)
anyway, hope I didn't waste your time. no humor for this TR as I'm still stressing on work, i'm officially done with college tomorrow though!!!!!

here is my perspective on the whole thing... what a week...
when you are trying to ski with the UVM boys, you find yourself waiting around a lot since they are always drunk and hungover and get to the mtn late. hence i take all sorts of scenics whenever i ski with them
before we left, allen wanted a nice picture of the mountains, so we gave him the camera. unfortunately sam and i can't help but ruin every picture we get into http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/p.../IMG_3949A.jpg
then on friday it was supposed to snow... we got some rain on the tail end of the storm and it made for some wet snow... ben and i made the best of it though
on friday night a deep freeze moved in, and we had heard tales of cold smoke in the adirondacks.... or maybe we just made that part up... in any case we decided to pile into sam's car and get over there to check it out. allen, K_C and myself met at 6... sam thought we meant 6pm and was a half hour late... oh well. the day went on
it was COLD. when the sun came up at rest area in VT near the crown point bridge a bit of humidity whipped through the air and some tiny lake effect snowflakes began to fall... trippy... ohhh...ahhh http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/p.../IMG_4271A.jpg
sam continued the pace regardless though, and actually did manage to make up some time. he had to hammer down on this unplowed road to do it, and we thought we were all going to lose our lives... but we did save a whopping 10 minutes!! http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/p.../IMG_4279A.jpg
it was COLD.... i think it topped out around 4 or 5 degrees at the height of the day. it was LONG... the snow wasn't that deep, and some of us maybe thought this wasn't worth it... looking back on it though, i'm glad i came. the skiing was fun, and if we had a bit more daylight, and a bit more warmth i think we could have left with morale a good bit higher... oh well. good times.
see you EC'ers when i get back in January... UT, MT, and WY mags: hope to ski with a few of you over the next few weeks!

So, since you guys are going on your road trip, and someone obviously has to provide the EC stoke, I think that yall should give me a vauge idea of where that stuff is so that we can do our part to make the East Coast look as rad as it is.

Love the shot of the second cameraman on the pillow below. Looks like some sort of childhood fantasy fort.

Thank's for posting some real skiing. I am trying to get my son interested in college in the east. Seeing some real skiing helps make my case. Good action.

UVM/ burlington area is the place to be. I'm in my last year and I wouldn't change it for anything.
