Another great weekend in the Northcountry! The trails were MUCH better than the previous weekend, while the off-trail left a lot to be desired. Although we picked up a few inches of fresh snow, it was still not nearly enough to venture into the clear cuts and woods. Luckily, the team found plenty of untouched terrain in the vast logging roads of NH/ME. Everyone got in a few turns and saw powder over the hood in spots. The temps were perfect for play, and mishaps were few and far between. We were finally able to hook up with some old friends, and introduced a greenhorn to the backcountry addiction.
On a very sad note, most of New England will receive rain in the beginning of this week. STE fans, we ask you pray to the snow gods, we need the white stuff and lots of it.
We know it’s snowboarding, but it’s a very inspiring story about a pro snowboarder from New Hampshire. It reminds you just how fragile life can be, be careful and respect your sled.
The snow is there, ya just gotta know where to find it! Finally mother nature blessed the east with the white stuff. Although a little thin in town, the deep woods offered up more than enough powder. The conditions off trail are still very dicey, usually found in December. Riding the woods and clearcuts was like playing russian roulette, ya never know when a stump or rock will rear its ugly head. With a little more time and snow, the base should set up well, and the backcountry exploration will be great. Luckily we had no misshaps, break downs, or issues. The sleds ripped during the bitter temperatures, and fianlly the new Proclimb M8 is broken in. Needless to say we are pumped to have the white stuff and can’t wait to hit it again next weekend!
