Here is my GTNS entry for my home mountain.
I ski here at least 3 days a week.
I know every trail, bump, side cut and stash like the back of my hand.
Its where most of my friends and family ski most frequently, as most are season pass holders.
Overall, we are probably more of a learners mountain than anything else.
The mountain is made up mostly of blue/intermediate trails with a few handfuls of greens and blacks mixed in.
Hotshot is rarely open, as there is no snow-making available on that trail.
I think my favorite thing about the mountain is our view.
In my opinion, we have the best view of any mountain in the east.
With a view of Mt.
Washington over the lake, it is just beautiful.
Some others come close, like Wildcat or Stowe but none have a view of the lakes.
We had a new park manager this year as well, and he did a hell of a job.
Our main park resides on ‘Blundersmoke’ and has a lift essentially dedicated to it.
We also have a small progression park on ‘Sidearm’ with some low boxes and small jumps in it.
The main park usually consists of 3 main lanes and probably somewhere near 30 features.
No need to look far for something that is within your skill level.
Additionally, I have been trying my very best to put together a good edit for you guys.
Thanks to my friend Robert for helping out with the shooting and editing!
I hope you like it!
just go easy on me!
I spent a few runs with him getting pow shots on a particularly deep day.
Here are some shots he took after we got dumped on last month.
30 inches of powder in under a week is pretty damn good for the east coast.
If on any given day you want to find me, chances are high I will be here.
In the winter I instruct here, in the summer I work the zip-lines.
On my days off I am in the terrain park.
This is the mountain where I really became a ski-bum.
This mountain made me.
I hope at some point everyone can come visit.
If you are ever going to come by, hey let me know!
I always love getting together with fellow Newschoolers!
I am sure someone will ask, now that I am done, what my favorite mountains were.
I will break it into two categories.

Finally, I have some pictures of some of the stuff I collected over the winter.
I would like to thank everyone who supported me this winter and helped make this whole thing possible.
My family and friends for dealing with my near constant talk of skiing and helping make this possible.
Ian Compton for being one cool dude showing me around Mt.
Snow and hooking me up with some sweet Outdoor Tech.
The UVM crew at MRG for showing me around the mountain.
Finally of course I need to thank you the readers.
I never imagined so many people would end up reading this little blog I started to chronicle my adventures.
I definitely never thought people would start recognizing me out on the mountain.
Thank you Newschoolers for really rekindling my love of the sport and community.
Once again, thank you everyone!
Keep on Shredding NS.
