Actually with everyone focused on the spring, Camelback was empty on Sunday. Still was in really good shape and didn't wait more than 1-2 minutes in a lift line all day. Im up to VT this weekend but...

Great to hear. The wife is away for work and I am driving up from NYC thursday after work. Looks like everything should be in real good shape from what I can tell. Plenty of recent snow, decently...

As much as I would love some snow.. kind of worried about the impact of this storm on the NJ coast.

These are the SPT guys.. I read something about it in January but thought I missed it. Definitely will have to set the DVR for it.

Reading that jay ended up with 30??? Insane.

Nice... some solid upslope snows. Im headed up to Stowe tomorrow night (wish I was leaving tonight!). I can't figure out what this weekend event might bring up there.

Interestingly enough there is a small contingent of hard booters I see out at Camelback fairly often. Male and female... i think mostly on Kesslers. I haven't been to Windham very regularly as of...

I definitely agree that the changes in ski tech are playing a big role in driving more people towards skis again, but I also think you are seeing a sport go through its life cycle. You are going to...

Looks and works great on iphone and ipad!

I use Ski Tracks as well.. has anyone used both Ski Tracks and Alpine Replay? and have an opinion one way or the other?

Still the case.. The cat cuts off about 15 minutes or so of the hike. Depending upon fitness level, from the cat its usually 30-45 minutes. There are goods to be head shortly after you start the trek...

Great point.. both my trips have been with all skier groups and me as a lone boarder so I feel that pain!!

What you are looking for? The expert terrain at highlands is pretty amazing if you are going to hike the bowl, and while the lower mountain is a ton of fun.. you probably have more variety at...

Yup I looked at that 10 report and should have checked the other mountains in the area.. 6 max. Should've gone to Creek. And wind holds early. One of the patrollers on the lift tried to tell me 10...

Thanks all.

I didn't realize there was such disdain for Mountain Creek on here. I would consider myself a semi-regular at Camelback (split my local time at Hunter mostly) but I get a day or two in...

Thanks Alex.. been out at Camelback a few times already this year and have enjoyed it. I snowboard so don't love the bumps, but Rocket was nice when they first got going and were still a bit soft....

Love Elk but the 2 hour drive isn't in play or else id be heading to the Catskills for this one.

So I am stuck sticking local this weekend.. it's either the Poconos or Mountain Creek on Saturday. Am I crazy looking at everything with this storm and wanting to go to Creek over my standard go-to...

Agree with DH's general sentiment. Snowmass alone is enough to keep things interesting and fun. Cirque and Hanging Valley might need a bit more snow to make it worth the treks to get to those goods.....

While Europe makes sense to look at... you have to remember there are some pretty big differences.
1) Accessibly and popularity of SAR insurance. People here, even some experienced sort might not...

I think both sides make valid points, but if there is any chance charging would delay a call for help, I am not sure its worth it. To your point I wonder what learning's there may be from Europe....

Everything I read seemed to be a reaction to the recent incidents. I'm actually fine with a small fine, more signage, education... something like that. I just think we should remember that we are...

By no means am I suggesting this is a solution.. but it would be more like 25 CENTS which I imagine would still cover exponentially what is spent on SAR in Vermont each year.

Believe me.. I was not advocating a surcharge system but I don't think you take a 30 day period and change everything because of events from that period of time.

Do you enact a far reaching...

To me that represents an entirely different problem. If things are so scarce that the state can't deal with SARs then other avenues need to be explored (e.g, a SAR surcharge added to lift ticket...

And its happening primarily at one mountain. IMO it would be crazy to dictate a statewide policy change for a problem that appears to be relatively minor in the grand scheme of things (number of SARs...
