Wow you can make pow turns and keep moving in terrain that flat?

Sorry I would still rather ski >25 degree 2,000 foot vertical groomers than that

I thought you girls out west would be happy not hating with it being sunny and 70 outside. Soak up all that Vitamin C while you're out skiing those groomers.. Wait any snow in CO?

I'd rather ski deep powder myself

My twenty year old has been ripping through glades at Wildcat and Cannon this week, and skinned up to Tucks yesterday morning for an awesome run on the Shelburne before work at nine am yesterday! Def going off!

Sweet turns above treeline bro. Make sure you take an avy course before your next adventure. That terrain looks way too steep to be safe. Just because you have a NS board, made in Colorado, doesn't mean you're immune to the elements of danger!!!!

And yes, I'm definitely hating on you due to some sort of misguided jealousy (of the snow, not so much the terrain). I was able to skin up a ridge that started at the end of my street, slap the splitty back together and bomb down it almost all the way home up until about 2 weeks ago. Shit's weak now and the grass is starting to grow.

Hate hate hate

Travis has been posting up vids from "small, local, back-country hills" in southern NH that are probably within half an hour of the thriving city of Manchester!

I give him credit for seeking out local pow!

Now if you've time to drive north, there's certainly bigger and better back-country fun in NH!

Just because you've taken the course, does not make you immune to the risks. In fact, I'm pretty sure the stats say that the more people are educated about the avalanches the more likely they are to get into trouble.

Thanks for posting the East Coast pow stoke, Travis!

We always referred to it as ice skating.
