I'm heading back to the BEast this Saturday, 2/22. Great weather is forecast. Come on out!

Stratton on Mon?

Heading to Stratton on Monday, Pres. Day. Come on out!

Anyone planning for the 15TH?

I'm thinking of going up on Wed. 2/5. Any takers?

Kym and I carved up the Thunder Dome on Friday. That guy can lay it right down on the snow! Conditions were excellent on Exhibition and Lower Comp. Great snow making going on at night. I saw Roy at Catamount today, he says that Mark was in town on Sat. Anyone see him?

For you weekday carvers, I'll be there on Friday 1/31. Come on out!

Sorry, Micheal. I just saw this. Great carving on the flatter snowmaking trails. The more narrow trails were pretty scraped down. The trails not open have sticks and brush poking out of the snow.

Buggs.. you GOTTA get out here. Everyone's been asking for ya!

I'm heading to Stratton tomorrow (Friday) in case anyone else is going too....

Great snow on MLK Day! Fast, Firm - not hard, excellent grip, no ice, side to side on Comp and Exhibition. Every day should be this good.

Great! Thanks for the update.

Monday, MLK Day is looking good! Come on out !

We had a great day at the BEast on Tuesday after the 18" snowstorm. Officially limited to a handful of open trails, but there were tracks on every trail and glade. It was great for softbootin'. Heading up again on Sat 12/7. Expecting more open terrain. Hoping that Exhibition will be open and cord. It was closed on Tues. COME ON OUT!

I think the toe cleat acts a a bumper to keep your boot from sliding out of the otherwise unrestrained side of the binding. What I keep hoping for is a "good" binding rotation mechanism that lets me rotate my front foot to a pointing-straight-ahead position when I'm in the lift line. THAT would be awesome!

I've ridden with 3/4" homemade risers under my K2 Cinch bindings. The ride feels the same to me, but I don't bootout as often when riding low angles like +10,0 or +10,-10. I think it makes a big difference. Mine are made from PVC trimboard , weigh only a few ounces and cost only a few $.

It looks like you were in some pretty soft conditions but a 3/4" lift will give you more clearance/lean angle. See pic. I've done this myself to ride low angles on an alpine board and for cants on softboots. I used PVC Trimboard from H.Depot ($30) to make lifts and cants. If you're handy ( or persuasive) you can make them yourself. Of course you need longer screws.

Shout out to the whole Rally Crew! What a great day on the hill. (Maybe one exception, but I'm glad to hear that your OK Brad!)

Saturday is looking pretty good! Maybe a bit warm... Sunday not so good on the hill. I'm planning to head home after drinks/dinner on Sat. Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 39. Light and variable wind. Saturday Night Snow and sleet before 3am, then freezing rain and sleet. Low around 27. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Sunday Freezing rain before 8am, then rain. High near 41. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 90%.

Monday was possibly the best day I ever had at the BEast...... softbootin' ! I spent the morning surfing the new pow on every trail and the afternoon slashing the pow piled up along the edges. NICE! (not a carver to be seen anywhere, except in the Crazy Horse! )

I'm head up for Monday - Snows a commin'!

Weather update: Good Sat, not so good Sunday. I hope it improves! Saturday Partly sunny with a chance of snow. Highs in the upper 30s. Chance of snow 40 percent. Saturday Night Snow and sleet likely. Lows in the mid 20s. Chance of precipitation 60 percent. Sunday Rain, freezing rain, snow and sleet likely. Highs around 40. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.

The tribe is heading to the BEast for the weekend - 2/23-24. Come on down ! See the post on the Southern New England forum.

Hi All, Nice video! Keep the party rolling and come on out to the Rally at Berkshire East 2/23-24 ! Check it out on the Southern New England forum.

I've booked a room!!! Let's hope this new snow sticks around for another week!
