    The shop I use does great work and the cost of mounting is a 60 dollar one time expense.

    Best time to buy skis?

    I am looking at a pair of new skis, currently going for $837 on Amazon. Are prices going to drop as we get into Summer? They claim to be at 38 percent off now.

    Tell me about Windham

    I ski Windham a few times a year. The West side has some nice blue runs, and double blacks. Some are groomed, others are bumped. The East side has single blacks and an advanced blue, and green run. Great for groups with mixed abilities. Upper Wolverine, double black, Winging n It, Why Not...

    Electric Cars/Trucks and winter weather testing with results. What do you think? Who has taken one in Freezing cold long distance to a Ski mountain?

    EVs are a misguided idea. The mining of the materials to make the batteries cause more environmental harm than any benefit from the car itself. The electric grid cannot support any large scale move towards EVs, CA cannot support the present demand. Why would anyone want the hassle of owning...
