What a mission! We got the call from our Vermont homies, Tomas Ruprecht & Jeff from Status BTV, that a major storm was about to hit up North so we had to rally the Brooklyn troops to head up and get some of that FRESH! Our NYC crew consisted of Michael Cohen from Shut Skates, photographers Akira Ruiz, Johnny Law and myself. Once we left Brooklyn it really started to come down heavy so we knew this wasn’t gonna be a mellow drive up. “Slow and Steady” was the motto of this journey and after a 10 hour white knuckle hell drive we finally won the race!
More photos after the jump…
It was like driving thru a meteor shower…
But there was no stopping us now…Not even the 3 foot snow drifts!
There was no way to see where the middle of the road was but somehow we managed to stay on track…
After one of the most hellish drives ever we still managed to get up for first tracks and it was well worth the drive!
Now it was time to enjoy what we came for…POW!
Akira found his stash and slashed it!
And our local guide led us to some more of that deep stuff…
Status Jeff with the Field Goal!
Johnny Law found his line in the deepness too!
And shit was DEEP!
But we knew to trust the locals and Tomas led the way…
After a short rest at the top of Smugglers’ Notch…
And another quick pit stop it was time to hike to find more of that goodness!
Once we made it across Sterling Pond we knew it was about to be ON!
It was a nice hike up to the top…
And it just kept getting deeper…
Had to take a quick break to take in the view…
Follow the leader…
After one of the best East Coast runs of our lives we decided to keep it easy and enjoy a nice lift ride up to the top!
The view was epic and our legs definitely needed a break…
Once we made it up we took in the sights real quick but were ready to get back to it…
Thank you once again Vermont…And we’re out!
