    Ski Resort Closings 2014

    Heard that Attitash is planning on closing the weekend of April 6 but that they may try to open weekends after that depending on weather, conditions, demand, etc. They are hoping to run Wildcat through the end of April and possibly longer. There is plenty of snow at both areas right now so...

    Let's see if this has any legs!

    So here's a question for everyone. Suppose that there were a snowboarders-only place. Let's call it Schmalta. Let's say that it was like Alta in every way - it's a place for which every hard corps snowboarder is beyond passionate. It's also a place that would be one of the best places to ski in...

    Backyard Blizzard and Sno-Wand for sale

    Do you see yourself coming up to MA to pick it up, drive it home to CT, make snow and then drive it back? I'm guessing no. I also don't want to get into tracking it and any other issues associated with renting.

    Best pass for the Seascoast NH crowd

    I drive 16 every weekend - Friday night and Sunday afternoon. I'm probably jinxing things but it's been pretty smooth sailing all season. Now that the construction is done in Rochester, things move along quite a bit better. I have far more problems getting through 128 and 95 than I do with 16.

    Review: Chapter One Orbital Ski Poles

    While we're still waiting for the snow to fall around here....here's a quick update on changes we've made to the product over the summer. 1) we've lengthened the tip of the pole enough so that you can now use the poles to engage randonee bindings (a request we got from several customers), 2) the...

    Your Ideal Ski Jacket Shell

    I'm using the First Ascent jacket which is a new, technical line from Eddie Bauer. Not the first place you'd think of for a ski jacket but I found the jacket to fit well, handle all types of weather well and look great. If you go to the Warren Miller movie, they usually offer discount coupons on...

    How old is too old....

    I turned 50 this year. Skiing with my son and a few of his friends, I pulled off a 3 when they weren't expecting it. Gotta maintain the respect as long as possible. Your body will follow your head. Once your head stops turning, the body stops too - with less than desirable results. Practice off...
