We hit the jackpot. It had been snowing steadily for the past few weeks, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. There was nothing resembling a hard base, as it was powder on powder. Nothing waist-deep, just soft snow everywhere. Fresh powder each day, often finding expanses of untracked snow...

Saturday and Sunday we were blessed with 4-6" of new snow, the icing on the cake on a low-snow year. Last year and the year before we had feet of snow over a 4 day weekend, but this year we were happy with the small amounts that fell that seemed to make the skiing better than anything else we...

Mt Hood: August 30th, 2007 Skiing in August on a volcano is one of the most surreal experiences. We arrived at the Timberline Lodge on a Wednesday afternoon. We checked in and explored the lodge and the grounds. We checked out the museum and watched the video of the building of the Timberline...

Last December I visited Mt Baker and wrote a resort feature article for www.FirstTracksOnline.com It was published today, so I thought I'd share it with you http://www.firsttracksonline.com/ind...ticle&sid=2867 More coming on Crystal Mtn, WA and Sun Valley, ID in the next few months.

There weren't many people in the know, so it was a low turn-out yesterday, but that left plenty of untracked cement for me to track up. We got over 15" of snow on the hills. There's like no snow in town (ithaca)...just a mushy melting inch if that. I live at 1200' and we've got 15" of thick...

Short Version: Thursday: Sugarbush Pros: No crowds, plenty of snow, challenging terrain Cons: Up/download slow lift to get to skiing, short runs, poor visibility, ski patrol with attitudes, no poaching, not much food at lodge Friday: Jay Peak Pros: No crowds, 2 for 1 lift ticket for $35...

Just wondering if anyone knew what it's gonna cost at the ticket window on thursday. With all the snow coming in, it will probably be worth it, however, there are other places to ski that might be better and less crowded, like say, Sugarbush, especially if we get the snow they are predicting.

Excellent skiing everywhere in the northeast. I was at Gore and was very happy with the conditions, trail offerings, lack of lift lines. Great service. http://www.firsttracksonline.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=751
