TCD - Any changes? TCD: Here is a post from you several years back. Any changes with regard to gaining access to the slides? "Skiing the slides: The best slide for skiing is the Lake Arnold slide, that runs SE towards Marcy. People have skied the dike, but it's rarely in condition for skiing...

Thanks! Thanks for the follow-up.

Not sure what you mean? "[H]it it now." Do you mean the last time for the season? Looks like it's snowing up there tonight (Friday) and then the forecast calls for cold dry days for at least the next few days.

I plan to ski the LT from MRG to Sugarbush. Any information would be greatly appreciated ie. entry point, time considerations. Thanks in advance.

Sounds interesting. Keep me up to date. Give me a weeks advanced notice if at all possible.

Great Report Excellent Pictures and great report. Keep up the good work!

Plan on doing Algonquin/Iroquios on Nov. 12. Anyone want to join?

Thanks! Thank you.

Yes Sorry! Yes, in the High Peaks. Anything arounfd the actual base?

Plan on camping at the base of Big Slide in order to do some climbing. Is there a water source located anywhere near the base?

Returning the book I received the book for my birthday last week. I'm returning it. Buy some jazz or a dvd of a classic movie.

Great Question To get to where I'm going. Seriously, I'm not into hiking for the hiking. I'm usually on my way to a climb. At this point it is a mode of transportation. That may change. I hope is does.

Smartwool Smartwool is the way to go. You will be very happy with the performance and they hold up nice in the wash. Please let us know what you decide.

Camping We can stay right in one of the lean-tos at the JBL area. If you PM me with your address I'll send you more detailed maps of the area and the routes we are planning to do.

Big Slide Big Slide is pretty straight foward for what I understand. It is rated moderate and you don't summit. You hike up the trail from JBL and drop in the glades whenever you want. you get to see the glades as you hike up the trail. My suggestion is that we do Gothics on Sat. since it is...

The Trip Yes that's me at the change over. Let's plan for a trip on Apr. 2/3. Did you want to camp on the night of Apr. 2 after Gothics? If not you can ski out after our climb. I'll be spending the night and skiing Big Slide on Sunday like I had said.

Don't Take it the wrong way I think the Dike trip is great trip and it is on my list and I'd love to join you if you decide to go and you need someone to go with. It is still an option this year especially with current conditions the way they are. I just have Gothics dialed in and would be...

Gear I'm on AT gear. I'd really like to ski the woods on the second day. Tig I'm no expert but if you are not comfortable on blacks, Colden may be a bit too much for a first time out. What do you thin TCD?

True North I have skied it three times. Once this year as I had said. It is pretty straight foward. A single black atleast. Not that I can ski single black Tig. It's in right now no matter what the posters say. Conditions are always variable on the North Face. True North should be in...

I'm probably putting this trip off this year. Need more skills unsless you guys are willing to tolerate someone that falls a lot on the steeps. I do plan on skiing Gothics again this year. My dates are set April 2/3. I'd like to join some people for this trip. Again, I'm not the best skier...
