    "Too Much Snow" and Winter Driving - The analogy

    Nokian hekkapeliittas on a subi outback. Overkill? definitely. But huge piece of mind to. By the way, the hekkapeliittas hold up well. Heard stories not so much for the blizzacks

    Moved from Florida to Jersey looking for advice and tips.

    Where did u get the voucher? I would also hit that mid week since the last time I was there was on my junior hs bus trip on friday nights (in jeans and on 100 cm rentals)... Would be fun to see again (midweek!)

    PA folks...anyone put their kids in the Blue bump program?

    That is because they let Chris ride with the cat op to show him how it should be done :-)))

    PA folks...anyone put their kids in the Blue bump program?

    Blue has two bump programs; one for newbies (bump wise) and one for more advanced. Greg Stahl is the instructor, excellent bump teacher and very passionate about bumps. Last year they threw in an extra week of lessons just because. I am taking the advanced program again this year. If you think...

    Lowered my DIN setting

    Both boots; they test each binding independently.

    Lowered my DIN setting

    Preseason special at Heinos; tune and check bindings. Chucklehead here still in my first decade of skiing so was ignorant to 50+ rule

    Lowered my DIN setting

    Turned 50 this year and received an unsolicited AARP card. Meh, don't care. Got my skis back from their preseason tune and the shop informed me they were required to lower my DIN setting by one due to my age. THAT bothered me...
