Somewhere in Northern New England…
Or was it on another planet? In an effort to avoid the crowds we have been out searching the wilderness for some good skiing we heard about in legend and myth. Up in the fog, flurries and cliffs we’ve all been on the fringes of our respective comfort zones, and finding some really amazing stuff.

Heading out now for a more mellow endeavor.

136cm Storm in Gulmag
Things have changed quite a bit here and a lot of options have opened up. There is now good skiing all the way to the low town. Even though the snow was extremely unstable in the alpine during the storm a combination of things ripping out and a compression of the facets has resulted in a much more stable snow pack. We are now hoping for some lighter snow to top off the great base we have.
Our thoughts are with the families of the18 soldiers killed in the slide at the height of the storm. Hopefully it will prompt the Indian Army to take avalanche forecasting more seriously.
