    Skiing on the Cheap - 2012-13 Edition

    Wow.... Is it me or has the SkiNH 5th Grade Passport really gone down hill over the past few years? Passport Peak seems to have withdrawn all three properties and the number of tickets per participating mtn as well as bonus items seem to have dwindled. Maybe "dwindled" is extreme, but certainly...

    Winter swimming- why?

    Crotched Mt to get detachable quad

    There will be blue/green off the summit. If you look at the present trail map http://www.crotchedmountain.com/trail_map.html that trail will be the one to the west entering into present day Moon Walk. I believe reasoning for not going to the summit originally was not actually wind or easy access...

    Crotched Mt to get detachable quad

    Nice. Hopefully they have accounted for wind...however they do that, but the team there has done a pretty good job over the past few years, so I'll trust they've thought things through.

    Straight Ski Weekend

    I'm thinking I'm such a horrible heal pushing skidder I might as well just pick up a cheap pair of old straights. No more posing.

    Lost my skis up on Stowe kitchen wall, want to attempt to go get them back,advice?

    No worries. But this better not be like that novel from the library that was missing the last few pages. I'll settle for someone making up a story if it comes to that.:popcorn:

    11/12 Mid-Season Report Card

    This is an in interesting point. At first I thought, well, everyone giving this year high marks and getting in all those hill days must be a pass holder. I'm giving this year a solid D up to this point. Been out three times and haven't hit any good "powder", packed powder or butter cord...
