TR: A Trifecta

As promised earlier, the blogging ban is being broken.
——————————————
In the great outdoor tradition of creating lists as a way to boast achievement, I decided that we should try to link a string of ski days together in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine–the four states that form the border of the United States from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately however I really like saying the word “trifecta” a lot more than the words “four states,” so I decided that we could skip one state, and only ski three. Our choice (sorry Maine) was to ski in New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. Click the picture to find out how it went:

After our running of the Stowe Derby (and our experience skiing by braille), we lost our guidebook, but still wanted to find the gnar. Christian’s solution was to just hold his hands up as if he were holding the guide book and hope we would remember which way it said to go.

TR: The (Other) Stowe Derby (3/2/10 Updated with more pictures!)

This weekend was the venerable Stowe Derby: A race from near the summit of Mount Mansfield, Vermont all the way down to the town of Stowe. Needless to say, each and every one of the Famous Internet Skiers was eager to participate, but unfortunately none of us owned cross country or telemark skis. Since we didn’t want to make a fool of ourselves in the actual event, we decided that we would run our own private race just before the official race instead.

Skiing by Braille

Just a quick report from today. Nothing really all that exciting… we just went out and did a little recon for one of our favorite cliff bands, and were glad to discover that it’s ready to go next snow fall–so stay tuned. The real reason I feel the reason to post however was the visibility: about as close to zero as I’ve ever seen it (or “not seen it,” as it were). No offense to the blind, but I might as well have been using the Braille system to ski today; I couldn’t see anything.

Christian knows the cliff band is out here somewhere… now if only we could see more than 2 meters maybe we could find it.
