Ron, Jeanette, Jerry, Darryl, Chris, Eric, and I toured to the fabled MRNP Stash for October turns. Conditions were thin on approach/exit, breakable crust on some shaded aspects, and sweet, sweet butter on the Stash proper. The thin cover warrants particularly close attention especially in rocky areas (hidden holes can swallow up skis), but in all the Stash delivered the goods.
This month marks my 5 year anniversary of skiing all year, and celebrating with Ron and crew was especially fitting as it was their early trip reports and fun outlook that played a large part in getting me skiing year around.
A great day, great company, great turns, great views! 
Marco

Thanks Bigwave! Yep, lotsa sunscreen, Ron's patented "PIYM" energy drink, blister tape, and cool micros at basecamp courtesy of Chris helped us through those bluebird conditions...

The legend of "the stash" continues and lives up to it's billing as the late/early season come thru in the clutch spot! Great day, great people, and great corn/ breakable crust. Keep showing me spots like that and I will keep bringing the microbrews. And yes, ditto on the "be careful due to thin cover" comment from Marco, my bases got a "stone grind" that I didn't pay for or want.

Thanks for the kind words Robie, grooving into the JW style is something I've been working towards . We missed ya, it was one of the best days on the Stash. Only a tiny bit of crust at the top and then it turned to smooth as silk for the rest of the journey, and the "geezers" made it back there in record time  .

I doubt that JW style is something to shoot for, but what do I know. The Stash did deliver as Only You Know and I Know ..... enjoy!

Is one of the rules of the stash that one is not allowed to tele? Just asking.

Darryl augering in.
Thanks, snoslut! That wasn't augering - it was a dumb ass telemarker doing a snow stability test. Why should I use my shovel to dig a pit when I can create one by ramming my head into the snow pack?

I think there should be more tele jokes than snowboard jokes. A crash with tele skis is like playing twister with 5 foot 2X4's on your feet. I appreciate a good crash - but that picture made it look like Darryl is still upright.
What a great day! Sorry I missed it.
