The reason all those people were there is because they blew a transformer, so the lifts had no power. All those people were waiting to get back on the lift.

Nice. I love Hunter. Yeah by today especially it's probably even better up there.

I'm well; they are good, thanks. Ah I only get down to your area for shows and events at the HP. All my clients who were formally on 33 relocated closer to me, so I can't complain. I do enough driving as it is.

Was wondering how you held up in the storm being where you are. That shit was brutal, even up my way. Crazy...never experienced anything like it before.

Hope all is well with you and maybe I'll see you on the hill sometime. I'll be hitting up camelback, JFBB, and Hunter as far as local spots go. Oh and probably Blue, too. I always forget about Blue..

Oh and tell Frank I still have his tee shirt from when he left it in the locker at Boulder. I can't seem to bring myself to toss it.
Frank..

haha i will let him know, he moved up to rhode island this past summer for law school and i was actually hoping he ws going to come down this weekend to ride, but no such luck. i definitely hope to see you out there..i miss riding with you!
the storm was insane, my house made out okay thank god but as you know, most of my summer spots were decimated. on the other hand, ive had lots of new kitchens to sell.
thats a bummer that youre never really by me anymore, but let me know if you ever are! pm me!! (art news - i got myself a tattoo kit finally)

I was at CB on Thursday and I gotta say, it was a mad house. There were so many people on those trails I couldn't believe it. I say more that 4 people with broken limbs from coalitions it wasn't funny. I was hitting the green trails there and it was almost impossible to make down the run without bumping into someone or vice versa. They produced a huge amount of powder but by noon it was already moved to the side and there was nothing but ice left on the run, short after that I decided to go because someone collided with me and I got hit pretty back. I didn't wanna risk an unnecessary injury so I left.
I'm in central Jersey and I made it there in a hour from 80, If there is anyone going soon please message me. It would be nice to ride with someone and not by myself since im learning and need those good critiques.

EatRideSleep

Of course he did, and of course he didn't. I'll be stuck with this damn shirt forever. Nice to hear he's in law school. Rhode Island is fun. Block Island is rad.

Ah good that your house was okay. Mine, too. The 2 wks without power, water, and heat sucked, however. Yeah, some of those beaches are my summer spots, too! Unthinkable that the coastline has changed It's been rough on so many people. Especially those who lost everything.

Yeah, for sure. I think another mini meet is in order this season.

Oh? Have you done anything for anyone with the kit yet?

EatRideSleep

Exactly why I wasn't there then, today, or tomorrow.
Shitshow.

Sucks to hear people were injured but I'm not surprised. Good call to have an early day. Hopefully that collision wasn't too bad. Yeah, whatever snow is made or falls gets run off pretty quick there, leaving all that ice nice and exposed.

What part of central nj? Like what county? I'm about an hr out from the Poconos also. Maybe something could work out if I'm headed up there.

Also keep an eye on this forum for a mini meet in the area at some point.

dirtysven

it sucks though because i wanted to stay and learn but it was crazy. Im in woodbridge nj, exit 12 on turnpike.
How do I find out about the mini meet???

EatRideSleep

Yeah. However. You learned when to call it a day and got an idea of what that hill is like a) on a weekend b) just after some natural snow c) during a holiday d) the disastrous sum of that equation.

There will be more days to come, better days when you'll be able to learn without concern of being slammed into, avoiding the mess of others all over the place, etc.

I don't ride there on wknds unless it's after 4pm. It clears out to tolerable numbers by then. It's too small of a hill to have fun amidst the madness imo..

Oh okay yeah I know woodbridge. As for the mini meet/s, keep an eye on this Northeast forum. One of us will throw something up as a new thread if the stars align. If I remember, I'll pm you. But don't rely on me remembering haha.

i rode jack frost today for the first time and was pretty impressed. the regulars said that today was about as crowded as it gets and it was still much better than a regular day at camelback or blue.

the trails had good coverage all day and didnt get scrapped off and the glades were definitely going to go back, hopefully east mountain will be open next time too
