Looking forward to it. Been skiing more trees this year -- and I got my start last year at Burke! Off-piste would be great too!

Andy, come on up!

Oh I'm sorry, off piste = the trees. But apres ski at the Bear Den is always fun...as in the upper lodge...

Wish I could, with V not skiing, just wouldn't feel right. But, you can meet up with us in Utah!

I see a repeat of Burke-a-palooza. Andy, bring the helmet cam...

Somehow off-piste registered in my mind as off the trail map. Anyway, I'll follow where you go.

Andy, good man. I still remember how Vee hiked Tucks with us last year and was a real trooper. I guess it's your turn to make the sacrifice. Utah will have to wait a bit for me.

Still plan on doing Tucks this year! Start working on TB for that.

TB will have to bring longer skis to Tucks.

If you're looking for something light and quick turning, maybe try out a bump ski. At least you'd get some fore/aft stability with it being a normal length ski.

I'll probably be back a couple more times for the $15 Sunday afternoon special, it is just too good of a deal to pass up. Especially seeing that Burke is probably my favorite mountain in the east as long as there is a good base.

BTW: I got some pretty good pics that I'll post the next time I go home. Man I'm starting to fall behind on the TR thing...

I will be up this weekend...but FYI they are not running the $15 dollar deal. If you were going to go, call the mountain and ask if they will give you the $30 student ticket....

Snowmonster is coming up as well. It will be a great weekend.
