Tales from the Hinterland: 2017/2018 edition

Well, I got first chair this morning:



May have to move it a bit before the lake effect piles up. Not the best angle. Anyways, it finally felt like winter up here, -14 C (7 F), sketchy driving last night and snow that has stuck around for more than a few hours.

The guns at Hidden Bump even got fired up today. We're liking the new guy (not my picture):



This thread is becoming quite the tradition, and I hope you all don't mind indulging us for another winter. If you are new to NYSB, this story has been going for a while. Here is your opportunity to catch up:

11/12 was hidden in the Woodstove. ..  

Ask Harv, he put it there, as I recall.  

I will rejoin him with his brothers in the TR forum when Zelda and I get home.

Maybe you thought we were cold Harv!

Excellent sleuthing, TD, I have edited the OP to reflect this discovery.

Harv, no need to move it, it is all linked up. But if you do, let me know and I will update the referral link in the OP.

I moved it.  There are many things that stink about Nabble but one good thing is that it doesn't matter if you move a post the URL doesn't change.
 
I know I am a bit rigid about TR rules. OK maybe more than a bit. While TFTH doesn't fit the format of a TR and does make sense in the Woodstove, ultimately I decided that a good moderator should do everything he/she can to encourage great content, promoting signal and discouraging noise.

The format thing in the TR forum is really to encourage quality and discourage BS. TFTH is awesome. I retain the right to move other stuff out of the TR forum for any reason, including format.

Now back to our regularly scheduled Hinterlandian programming.

Well shut the front door! It's officially official!

Thanks for the links to the past threads!  Only started reading NYSkiBlog a few years ago so missed out on those.

We're being a bit lazy this year, you are not missing much.

Cool image - What is the name of the ship you are on? I'll track it down on marinetraffic.

What is it? I can't figure it out.

It looks like a submersible recovering a candle stick.

Chuuurles' job is operating remote subs on offshore vessels. Beyond that, I have no idea. Maybe they are picking up candlesticks from the Titanic?

While we are waiting for snow and the subsequent shenanigans, here is some homework for the rest of you. How to speak Hinterlandian, there will be test later, eh:

Well SBR might have been "rather Lazy", but LeCheffie and I put a full day in at Obvi Bowl.   It's going to be better than ever..  Though Jeff and I disagree on the level of twiggy-ness that's appropriate.. I prefer skiing sous bois - under a mature canopy of hardwoods sans moose maple whips and bonsai balsams..  He likes self flagellation..  

So, you and LeChef were given'r in Obvi, eh? Right on.
