Heard that Copper no longer requires parking reservations... and I just bought my Ikon pass for next year which includes spring skiing. So maybe we’ll get to take some laps this year!
That said, I’m not a great skier. You’ve been notified.
I’m happy and sad for you?
I’ll post up dates in the 2021 thread for when I might go up if there is snow and not refrozen slush!
they definitely didn’t check my parking reservation or anyone else’s today at the Alpine lot fwiw.
Don’t get all sappy on us.
You are just feeding him a line.
This could get sticky
Sweet.
the pun train is still going it seems. trees have budded out, time to pull the taps.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you'll be doing this every year
as long as i have access to mature maple trees. i only have 5 on my property that are old/large enough to tap. my family in Maine, however, still has the wood lot from when they still owned the family farm. they had the foresight to put the wood lot on its own deed before they sold the farm back in the '50s.
That is badass. I'm curious to hear how the maple syrup (or whatever else you plan on making) turns out. Making some maple bitters or something would be sweet.
just syrup. got about a quart total.
although i did have a small amount that didn't fit in the jar last night, so i put it in a glass with some whiskey
this batch was darker than the prior batch because the sap was from the end of the run. i'll post some side by side pics later for comparison.
Mmm... delicious tree blood.Don’t bleed your trees out!
I don't think you have to worry about @jonKranked pegging some trees, compared to what woodpeckers do.Don’t bleed your trees out!
Or commercial sap harvesters with their miles and miles of tubes running through the forests.
It's only risky if you put too many taps in a tree, ir tap too close to a prior year tap locationDon’t bleed your trees out!
This guy taps
Taps wood
He should branch out and make some candy
