I'm so much better than you guys.
Actually, dropping in will be my first turns in three years, so we'll see how it goes...

That huck video is wicked good. The crowd on the Lunch Rocks sounded all tuned up on Sam Adams. New England skiing is the best!

You know I never have skied those ekat,I do remember talking to this guy who just literally skied down a very icy ,steep ,boulderly creek in the dacks,and he said his skis were double edged.I believe they were Hexcel's.
I had asked him why, when there was great powder up on the rim/shoulder of this ,he said "they suck in snow".

They were skiing from lunch rocks staying high skiers right above the gully I believe. I wasn't psyched about hauling my gear up since the bowl was too dangerous, so I was just a hiker with another buddy. It was winter up there. Lots of snow, it'll still be good a month from now.

You've basically got three choices at Tucks. A jump like that offa the headwall, Hillmans, and Grand Saloming alla the climbers coming up on the right.
When my brah did Hillmans, he was 4th in a line of 10 climbers. A snowboarder hit #5 and took all 6 behind my brah out. Fortunately, there were Doctors at the bottom. You'll want to have your control wired tight.

Steve I would.
Like Brandon said we traversed high skiers right then hiked the snowfield in pic 5.
The end of that snowfield I suspected we were cliffed out.
Instead was a col/glade easily 65 degrees plus and me and Eric[who is an incredible skier]set off some major sloughs,especially myself ,trying to surf windcrust.[rather poorly I might add,I was better to just point em']
I know the word is overused ,but for me ,that ski down was epic.
And the climbing the next day at Rumney,World Class.

Yup, NH is as good as it gets. I'm glad I grew up there so much to do.
