skiing the Taconics

Hoping Friday's (predicted) rain event is more of a snow event

Skied Taconics again on Feb 4th...stale 12" powder, insane base, tree lines were best.
Saw one other dude.
With more snow in the forecast and continued cold weather, if ever any of you are planning some BC turns, now is the time! Some of the best conditions in many years!

Lot was full this past Saturday morning. I imagine it will be worse this weekend.

Great conditions this past weekend!


I made a trail map using the old trail maps from NELSAP.

Too bad about today’s weather
Everyone got rain so there will be a breakable (barely) crust until there’s more powder or until everything corns up
Brawnyman and I spent a full day breaking the crust at plattekill and a few dudes kept following our tracks. After we were pretty well spent we asked the guys to break crust for a while. They said they would love to, but didn’t have the ability or the legs!! But they did thank us for the free rides...

Finally bought a new set of poles after 18 years (I have my trusty pair of Scott World Cup SLs with BD powder baskets) and now our weather looks blah. Sorry for the jinx. Hoping for one more storm to give us a last shot for the season. Otherwise I may have to head up to the High Peaks.
