When the temperature, wind and water are just right the Tug Hill Plateau region of central NY gets clobbered by lake effect snow. Elevation is minimal and the trees are tight but that just makes the search for powder turns more rewarding.

Welcome to the Promised Land. A region of dreamers, deep snow and drastic weather, the East Coast has a bit of everything. When it’s good out here, it’s really good and when it’s bad, well, it just builds character. Though many East Coast skiers will venture to faraway lands during their lives, our Promised Land keeps them coming back. It’s the camaraderie, the beauty of the struggle, and those wicked sweet Nor’eastah storms that bring them home. ___________________________ Promised Land is the 14th annual production by Ski The East.

Cannon Mtn is gnarly. Big, steep, cold, windy and dowsed in plenty of snowfall each season, it's New Hampshire's glade skiing paradise. In March of 2014 the mountain received 25" of fresh and Griffin Dunne met up with local Stacey Rachdorf to reap the goods.

With conditions doubtful, Ben and Louise hike for miles into the NH backcountry in search of good snow. The hardwork pays off and they're rewarded with huge, open, untracked powder down some remote rock slides. Soon afterwards it snows 18" in the region and Ben is sure one of his favorite chutes is ready to rock. When hiking up, however, he discovers that all there is is pretty much rock. The fresh snow has blown away in the fierce winds. All is not lost, though, and at the top the crew discovers an amazingly narrow pincher chute like nothing they've seen before.
The team woke up early for a sunrise session at Big Boulder, Pennsylvania and the weather and wind were perfect.

Towering over northern Vermont sits Jay Peak, the East Coast powder mecca. With a special microclimate that produces upwards of 350" of snow annually, the Ski The East crew spends a few days exploring the woods around the mountain.
Lars and Silas return to their East Coast home mountain: Mad River Glen, VT. Valentine's Day brings the love of the Snow Gods as well over a foot of new snow blankets the incredible forested terrain around the mountain. Local shredders, Noah Ranallo and Dylan Dipentima join the crew to tear it up.
Ben discusses his deep family roots with the White Mountains. He and the crew hike and shred some of the lesser known areas around Mount Washington, NH and a mix of sun, clouds, wind, calm, snow and slush accompany them on their tours... pretty much standard for the mountain known to have "the world's worst weather."
Magic Mountain, the hidden gem of southern Vermont, gets clobbered by storms every season. Combine rad terrain and 35" of new snow and that makes for a pretty sweet day on the hill.
