East Coast Tree skiing

Well yes and no.  You can't just roll up there unannounced, hike up and start sawing shit wherever and however.  Or, I suppose you could, but it would be frowned upon. 

We basically hike around, find dope shit we want to make skiable, run it by management and if they're cool with us working there (they usually are) we get to it.  We know trees and forestry so we aren't stripping the forest or felling tons of trees, it's usually just removing the deadfall from shittacular weather events and pulling out the moose maple that springs up seemingly overnight. 

In recent years though, I've tried to get on teh same page with management and it has gotten WAY more productive as a result- also we get to ride up on the red chair insteaed of hoofing it up with heavy gear and shit.

Unofficial Networks and Ski the East actually BOTH just did articles on this today.  (I'm Matt BTW, so if you guys want to come up and work or ski trees, let me know and I'll show you around!)
