I'll second the Adorama. We rented an amazing zoom lens when we went to Africa, and they were incredibly helpful. And I also just bought this mountable tripod from B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&sku=684943&AID=10661106&PID=3176261&is=REG&A=details&Q= For...

They were blowing on two runs on Sunday, one on each side of the mountain. Seems like they're taking full advantage of this snowmaking window.

I will be there in one week--woot!

I was there yesterday afternoon for a few hours. Fun little hill. Makes great use of the 1000ft of vert--consistent pitch, no runout, good trail layout and variety. Surprisingly good snow conditions throughout the day. Relatively few people on the slopes, except for some packs of racer kids...

Tamarack in Idaho opened in 2004 and has closed (due to bankruptcy) and (partially) reopened since then.

Thanks--I'd appreciate that. Southern PA got a few inches yesterday (Whitetail reporting three inches, for example), but it looks like the storm stayed pretty far south.

Thanks for the update. Might swing through on Sunday.

How was it? Driving back from NY to DC on Sunday, and I was thinking of swinging by somewhere in PA for a few hours. Need to get another day or two in before heading to Chamonix. :D

Truth. Beautiful photos.

We must be really, really far from ski season.
