at Harvard-Smithsonian (it's for real---Google it) has just announced a new research project ... and it is looking for volunteer researchers. If accepted into the research study program you will be asked to fully report on that most short-lived of all phenomena...woods skiing (and riding) in November, in New England. Goddess bless New England weather and a paid-up season's pass. If your report is accepted for publication, you will be asked to do a follow up study on powder days in New England. Be first or be sorry.

How was the crust? How do the woods look?

In my opinion the crust was tough and in some cases still is.

This is real crud skiing. If you are in the wrong place, it can be really ugly.


But when it works, which is most of the time... :D

It needs more skiers and riders to grind it up, and when it has had them, it is skiing up very well.


I have seen people in the woods, but I'm not thinking of it, yet.

I spent T-day carving up the crust. It went well with the gravey. Actually, the skiing was incredible on Thursday, no crowds no lines no worrying about anybody hitting you. The crust was the only challenge. Keep the skis straight and stay on top. It broke up really nice and the traffic on Friday made the mountain better. Unfortunately, I attacked to much crust on Thursday and had little if no legs left today. Pardise was an adventure, very wind blown on top, but the rest was sweet. As soon as that gets skiied in it will be sweet. Ripcord was awesome, and Murphy's was a blast both days. The water bars were fun to watch at times as they made for some interesting acrobats.. The woods, are still thin. A few days of lake effect and one good dump and they should be getting skiable.

Overall, amazin Thanksgiving.

I just realized that I was one of those Turkeys on Stein's. I was actually the fourth one to drop in for the run. On your second picture in the post I am in the upper right hand corner. I skied the line on skiers right. Or I should say Stein's skied me at this point as my legs were pretty toast. Not easy turns by any means. Did you happen to snap a few more pictures. Probably not as I know I did not look as good as the first two Turkeys heading down the hill, Just wondering, but what a day that was.

I was having a little trouble with Stein's that run, too. Next one was a touch better, but it had not had enough skier traffic to break it up enough for me, at that time.

I just set up quickly and snapped a few pix.

Might this have been you?
