This is so true... I've never had a good day that didn't encompass multiple different conditions. I'm a one-ski quiver person; probably because I don't really ski that much. I keep considering...

Glad to have brought back some memories. The pitch on that hill is absolutely perfect for sledding- right amount of steepness combined with a great runout. It's a bit shallow for skiing or boarding...

Packed powder, heavy wet snow

Well, I would have liked to put a trip report here for some big NH mountain that was on my list for today, but a sick...

Just got back from a couple hours at Wawa, where the snow conditions were the best I've seen in a long time. I really wanted to bail out from work, but had to put in a full day. I was fearing that...

Damn, that's quite horrifying. Best wishes to you and your family.

I've been snowboarding for 24 years now, and I'm getting a bit tired of sitting down in the snow. :) I did start skiing again about 5 years ago, and thoroughly enjoy that too.

I only own 1 board....

77387739Played around in the woods near Wachusett Reservoir last weekend. Went out there again yesterday. Breaking trail in ~2' o fresh snow was somewhat punishing.

That was a nice video and the music was excellent. Whereabouts in Lexington was that? I grew up in that town. I used to snowboard down a hill in my backyard, then wander into the woods. Somewhere...

I'm considering Magic Sunday also. It's kind of a haul, but I'm ok with a slightly longer drive to avoid crazy crowds. Plus, I've never been there and I love exploring new mountains.

I love your trip reports. Sounds like an awesome adventure.

Date Skied: Sunday Jan 20 & Monday Jan 21
Resort or Ski Area: Stowe, VT
Conditions: Variable

Sunday was a crazy weather day. It started out about 44* out, rather windy. Skies were mostly...

Never looked at them before now, but I'm pretty sure if they made an adult size board with the tater tots topsheet, I'd buy it just for that.

I just screwed an old pair of snowboard bindings to the wall of my workshop for decoration.

If they weren't jr. size then you could have 'em.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone use "henceforth" in a forum post. :lol:

Early mornings aren't that bad. It's doom by mid-morning, though.

I am indeed joking; it's just the first thing that came to mind when I read the thread title.

I don't usually drink on the chairlift, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis.

Gaah, that sucks. My brother-in-law broke his leg at Squaw Valley this past weekend. Compound fracture; he now has rods and screws and all kind of crap.

I felt bad when I partially tore my left...

Magic is on my hit list for this season, as I've never been there. Hopefully they get their issues sorted out.

2.5 is my preferred max. But I've been eyeballing a few ~3 hour trips for this season. Anything longer than that is part of an overnight.

Dunno, I just googled it. Maybe this? http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20655760,00.html

Wow, the scope of this goes way beyond my typical day trip cost analysis! The past few winters, I've actually been quite annoyed that the tank of gas was more expensive than the lift ticket.

The company I work for makes and sells tire chains, amongst other things. PM me and I'll give you some contact info.

I'd tell you which ones are best but I work in a different department, so I...

I did two days at Stowe last season on their RFID system. One of those days was with my daughter. The system seemed to work nearly flawlessly for both of us. Didn't see any unusual holdups at the...

I have, but it was last winter and I can't remember what angles I used. I think it was 1* base and 2* side but I'm not sure. Somewhere in my tuning kit is some packaging that has notes scribbled on...
