VtSteve 03-13-2011 07:25 PM

God, my knee hurts just looking at the video!

Crap am I old :lolhit:

VtSteve 03-13-2011 07:39 PM

Was that an air bag that deployed at the end?

Slinky 03-14-2011 07:01 AM

ha steve no, no air bags....though some times i wish i had some more padding! I'm feeling sore today...rode Jay Peak all day yesterday and Smuggs all day saturday!

here's one i did earlier in the year...we snowshoed for 1.5 hours to get to the top of Big Jay then took us a little over an hour to get down...i've been putting my GoPro to a lot of use this winter!

Nice!

VtSteve 03-14-2011 04:46 PM

The Go Pro certainly adds to the fun.

I haven't skied in a few years now. I used to ski primarily at Killington, some Mt. Snow. I had one season in the 70's of over 140 days on the slopes, another in the 80's that went over 120 days. I have brand new boards and boots now, with only a couple of dozen runs in five years.

Much more time on the golf clubs though :drink:

I need to live where summer is the dominant season.

Snow tonight and tomorrow. WTF!

Slinky 04-04-2011 01:51 PM

the snow has been crazy this year....i'm loving the winter and all the snowboarding (31 days in so far) but i'm ready to get out on the lake! I want to hit the trails on the mountain bikes and put some miles on our new road bikes...yes the only toy i will have with a motor is the boat!

GLH 05-04-2011 03:07 PM

Well all the snow melted and we are getting a sh!t ton of rain...

No fueling at the marina for a while...

http://cmsimg.burlingtonfreepress.co...&Maxh=465&q=80

Or even stopping for a pop...

http://cmsimg.burlingtonfreepress.co...&Maxh=465&q=80

GLH 05-04-2011 03:09 PM

Champ is around however....

masi242 05-04-2011 08:17 PM

Don`t let a little water stop you

jeff32 05-04-2011 10:02 PM

not too many boats on the lake up to now I guess! 2 or 3 more weeks minimum would be my guess before lake is safe enough... right?

VtSteve 05-05-2011 05:53 AM

Amazing how much water that Ethanol can attract

Slinky 05-05-2011 07:31 AM

Breakwaters may become a drive in

jeff32 05-05-2011 11:44 AM

are there any boats docked in some marinas up to now? or the lake is still sleeping?

Some af the marinas are putting boats in. There's so much junk in the water right now I wouldn't want to be moving too fast.

VtSteve 05-05-2011 07:17 PM

Mine's still shrinkwrapped.

VtSteve 05-08-2011 07:03 AM

GL, you ready to come back home yet with the Mut?
