skied Wildcat Friday.  SO unbelievably epic.  They've got nothing but snow from these storms.  Holy shit, ski days like this don't come to often here.  Fuck I really want to make the drive today again.

Are you saying that because of the avy conditions? Or are you saying there's no such thing? There is definitely backcountry skiing in the east.

The way and the tone of the kid when he said it just made me laugh. And it's mainly avy conditions and area boundaries that make "backcountry" skiing. When I picture NY and most parts of the east coast (minus some places at stowe and others) I do not picture backcountry skiing. Technically though, I guess  you could call it that for self satisfaction/amusement.

I'm not ignorant...look at my profile pictures!

I just like to poke fun and be sarcastic about the east coast and people's usage for the word backcountry.

skied wildcat sat and sun over 4ft of snow from the storm and 0 rain. got lost in the "backcountry" of wildcat aka Thompson's Brook for over 4 hours. started out alone at around noon, made a wrong turn and was along for 2 hours. them found 3 skiers who were also lost and then realized that 4 other people where following my track. we weren't as much lost as we were "this is going to take a long time to get out of." ended up getting out at around 4:45 with a total of 11 people and bumping into ski patrol who were looking for 5 of us while we where walking back through the parking lot. Epic weekend of deep snow though
