Loon looks to be running their own (at a $10 cost) on Saturday: http://www.loonmtn.com/experience/events/demo-day#.VmsXNf5OkuU At Sunapee it's from Skinner's Saturday and Sunday: http://bobskinners.com/ Would love to try even wider to expand the quiver to include a better pow ski, but...

https://www.facebook.com/RaggedMountainResort When we had a good run of snow, like we had in February, their glades are pretty damn good. This added clearing shouldn't hurt...

Two big new products - actually both are rather small for their types. New GoPro coming soon. Looks like it's the size of the previous models' square lens section. http://shop.gopro.com/hero4/hero4-session/CHDHS-101.html Also a new drone w/built-in camera that follows a wrist-mounted locator...

Great opportunities to play outdoor (sand and grass) doubles volleyball tournaments... Well-run and excellent location with some of the best sand courts around. And the grass area is very good as well. http://nashuavolleyball.com/2015-outdoor-schedule/

Headed to Cannon Friday morning. Left Nashua in the rain at 7am. Probably didn't lighten to drizzle until about the Lincoln exit. Got off highway to go to the Peabody lodge, wind was really kicking up. They said that they were only charging $25 (instead of 2/$74) as only the Tuckerbrook...

A bunch of guys are going to Loon free on Fox Boston's promotion tomorrow. Other guys are hoping to go but don't have the free passes... Does anyone know of any types of deals for Loon? Liftopia doesn't have anything for them. Not sure if any gas stations have coupons, etc... Anyone have...

Got a GoPro for Xmas. Hoping to get some footage soon - maybe in a snowstorm Friday? Guessing most helmet-mount as I've seen often. I'm not a helmet guy, slam me if you must... Do the head strap and chest harnesses work well and do people have preferences. Also seen footage w/them mounted...

3/8/2012 Ken Jones of Nashua at Mt. Sunapee Atomic, Blizzard, Fischer, K2, Nordica, Rossignol, Salomon, Volkl (again no sign of Dynastar, Elan or Head) Mid-high 40s to start the day, over 60 by mid-afternoon. Soft, some light slush later in the day, very easy skiing in general. Didn’t write...

Anyone have any info on the alleged change of their rules on surcharges whether you win or not. Thought it was a done deal, but not sure...

Was at Sunapee yesterday for the Nashua Ken Jones ski shop demo day. They ran it well again, though a bit more of a pain in the ass as a few of the manufacturers demanded that people signed forms. Seemed a waste as they couldn't track who was on what, when and especially not tie it to the...

Anyone here running any of the new-fangled races they are running this year? The two I know of are http://toughmudder.com/events/new-england/mount-snow-course-map-2011/ - Mt. Snow, 10 miles long, May 7th/8th. For this one I'm thinking too long (for me), still cool weather for some of the...

Manchester to Reno. Nice and sunny arrival on Feb. 12th. Little late to start skiing the first day. Warm near 60 in Reno, a little cooler lakeside in North Shore (Tahoe Vista). Sunday 13th: Alpine Meadows: Bluebird skies, groomed trails, all lifts seemed to be running. Skiing was very good...

Bought a new pair of boots in early Fall. My previous boots I swam in as I got them after achilles tendon surgery and have long since have lost all swelling from said procedure (which took almost a year). So, needed a replacement for my reliable but slightly softer than i would like Nordica...

After demoing more strictly carvers in March, I decided to try some wider all-mountain skis last Friday at Loon through Ken Jones (Concord store, I believe). First, here's last seasons post for comparison: http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php?t=73392&highlight=2011+demo Me: 6'0" about...

A friend's wife has given me the task of figuring out what skis to buy him. Will obviously tell her that we can't just buy him a pair of boots for multiple reasons... He's 42, probably 200#, about 6'. He has been skiing on 215cm (not a typo), K2 Super G skis. He is sort of old school...

Forgot that Building 19 in Burlington (Mass) got in 1,400 pairs of skis and nearly as many boots and other stuff. What quality they got is up in the air. Guessing demo and rental gear, but supposedly some new... Anyone been by?

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the couple boot models that Tecnica has available this season w/air bladders to enhance fit? I had a pair of Raichle RX8s back in the late 80s that had an air bladder. Didn't love them as I sat back in the rear-entry style and had some rivets pop...

Figured I would get myself fitted in some new boots for next Winter. Not necessarily to save money (though it wouldn't hurt), just want to get it done sooner than later... Looking for a mid-width, mid-flex, non-racing alpine boot. Many shops have little left and won't have any of next...

Unfortunately I cannot partake in any of the deals offered tomorrow. Volleyball playoffs which made me promise my teammates a fresh set of legs (unlike last week) and work conspired against me to get a cheap ticket. Just a quick check this morning unearthed these deals: Waterville Valley -...
