So, now that it's up and running, who's going to ride it this weekend for some powder turns down Ptarmigan, Idiots Option and Tim's Trauma?

Couple things to consider about high speed and carpet loaders but might require fact checking as the information I had is outdated and perhaps inaccurate. Attitash is running the summit lift into the White Mountain National Forest. I've heard they are restricted on uphill capacity because of...

Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. The hits of today are really designed to be hit solid so if you were to throttle back, you wouldn't make the landing. That's why most resorts have small, medium and large hits in separate areas. Hitting a small jump large or a large jump small isn't...

Always got pulled for a week as a kid and continued the tradition with my own. Let's face it, December week and February week are pretty jammed at the resorts so not exactly the best family ski weeks. That said, advanced notice was always given and most teachers offered homework to keep up or...

Any rumors about 2 for 1 on New Years day yet?

Hero snow. Good find!

3/2/17: Today's weather reminds us of the scene where Elsa builds her ice castle in Disney's Frozen.Mother Nature is practically belting out Let it Go as she works on moving winter back into the picture with snow squalls and wind gusts. And like big, burly snow elves, our snowmakers are gearing...

So I'm only single until I've made a commitment? How long do I have to remain in this relationship? What if there's a younger, fitter or richer option?

Not for long if you pass them skiing down. :spread:

Ever been to a resort with quad, triple and doubles lines? Typically rather than pair two doubles they'll grab two singles to ride with the double so that the singles line keeps moving. That must really irritate the single line haters!

Dealing with the Top Notch double and Summit triple has always been challenging for top to bottom skiers. If Tim's, Idiots and upper Ptarmigan were accessible from a high speed quad the resort would be amazing. Trails accessible from the Flying Yankee like Grandstand, Moat, middle Ptarmigan...

I find the best skiing off the Forerunner Quad which is Stowe's early opening claim to fame at 7:30am. It usually gets a line from 10:30 to 11:30am but other than that it's more than reasonable especially given that you're lapping a high speed quad offering plenty of leg burn for a day of...

Heading for the River next weekend and curious if anyone has a report from last weekend. Specifically how well Oz survived the summer temps last week. Forecast shows snow this week but nothing major so far. If you'll be up there and want to share turns on the same trail, let me know.

This is what anyone should do but unfortunately it's one of those, "I get it" moments that typically happens right at the transition from intermediate to expert. It's a leap in skill advancement and ultimately control between skidding and carving which, for many, makes the turn more enjoyable...
