VTah Part VII — The Merriest Snow on Earth! (OR: ‘Twas The Night Before Deepness)

By:  Greg
December 24, 2012


We spoke not a word, but went straight to work,
went straight to work

and skied all the pow, occasionally turning with a jerk.
turning with a jerk

turning with a jerk

With pow in our mouth, our eyes, and our nose,
occasionally turning with a jerk

we gave each other a nod, and back up the skin-track we rose!
we rose

VTah is here to slay, so go hoot-and-whistle,
go git sum; schuss the mountain like the down of a thistle.
Down of a thistle

Indeed thou better git sum before VTah flys out of sight,
but in the meantime “Happy Christmas (and deepness) to all, and to all a good-night!”
Happy christmas to all!

All of us at FIS want to wish you a happy and safe holidays, and a peaceful and deep 2013!

    Glad to see ol’ saint nick upgraded from those moody reindeer to an AT setup… Makes for much more efficient delivery of “the goods”! Merry schussing indeed!

    No winter outlook this year. Half-hearted weather reporting in general. And we’re within hours of a massive dump with more interesting weather soon to follow. Yet not a peep from FIS. Looks like you guys aren’t really in the weather business any more. ???

      Merry Christmas to you too Dave. Lionel was enjoying time off for the holiday, but did toss several quick updates up on his twitter feed and also on FIS’ Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/FamousInternetSkiers

      Sorry if you’ve been inconvenienced.

      As a Dave that comments frequently, I want to set the record straight…I’m not the Lemon Dave. This Dave appreciates the good work the FIS Crew continually puts out, it aint easy Folks. Keep up the good work Lionel and Greg keep the sick pics coming! Bring on Euclid…..

    Great stuff as usual guys; trying to fight back grins at the desk. I do wish you’d share the general location of some of these ridiculous pow havens you’re skiing… in hopes that we might catch your seconds :)

      well, unfortunately, I won’t give you an X-marks the spot description, but it’s somewhere in the backcountry in northern Vermont… I’d be slayed if I gave up the location :/

    Well Well Well. It was WELL done as usual. SUPER great pics. VTah is great if ya know where to grab it.(As you guys do) Did some sneaking around this past weekend. Found an old stash that looks like it has been reborn. Got bored with this place a few years ago. Went up on the Banforth Ridge trail up to CHp. And tried some off trail sneaking around. Did not get much of a ski out of it, due to my knee being a little unstable. But the place has renewed it’s possibilities. Love the Christmas jingle. DO hope you and your family had a great holiday season. NOW IT’S TIME TO GET TO WORK. And do that Voodoo that you do so well. :) Happy New Year!
