    A Basin 5/20

    I had hung up my skis when winterpark closed but with 22" in 3 days I had to go out atleast one more time and am going to try and ski every month this year. Got an early start and arrived at 730. The lots were all full by 830 and it was crowded but more like a normal Saterday than anything...

    Mad River Glen 2-23-16

    Bought a ticket two weeks ago in the hopes that this winter would turn around. The good news....they were still open. This was my first time there so I took it more as an opertunity to check the place out and get a feel for the history. Conditions were...intresting. Half the mountain was iced...

    Wildcat 12/23/2014

    Awesome day. They got 3 inches overnight and I figured the cat had the best chance for the rain to stay snow during the day. I started late so getting untracked turns was out the window. Mostly stuck to the trails as they were skiing better than the woods, although I'm still learning where to go...

    Looking for used SL Skis

    As much fun as it is using GS skis when skiing Slalom, I'm starting to get tired of it. Does anyone have a pair of 165-170 cm SL skis they are looking to sell or know where I can pick up a used pair at a decent price?

    Sugar Mountain 11/2/12

    11/2/12 Sugar Mountain, NC Early Spring Like Conditions I had been hoping snowshoe would make a run at opening but without power they just couldn't do it, so I settled to do the unthinkable, and drive south to go skiing. Woke up early and with a fist full of honey nut cheerios set out to ski...

    Cheap dorm/hostel style loadging in the I93 whites?

    Does anyone one know of a cheap dorm style place to stay in the Waterville/Lincoln/Franconia area? Ive been looking but cant find anything. Seems like there is an untapped market for a $15 a night dorm style hostel. If something like that opened up id stay all the time, beats driving multiple...

    Waterville 12-17-11

    I was psyched to start my season today! So psyched that I was determined to catch the first chair....until my alarm went off and I decided to throw that one out the window. I started out later than I thought, and after hitting some wicked snow squalls just north of the I93 tolls, and kicking...

    Fixed Grip or High Speed?

    Which do you like better? Fixed grip all the way for me, and the older and squeaker the better. :daffy:

    Ragged Mountain 12/19/09

    I pre-ordered my lift tickets on Liftopia two months ago, based on the last two years I thought wed get a third great early season. I'd get to lap Exhibition and take suicide runs down showboat. If I'm lucky they might even have a few of those epic glades open. All that for $18.99...

    Whaleback opening day 12/19/09

    This is a very laidback, uncrowded area. I've driven by it numerous times so for $5 lift tickets I had to check it out. The lodge is older and small but not horrible, my only complaint is the floor is wicked slippery with ski boots, so that was fun trying to get them on. After I booted up its...

    Bretton Woods 11-21-09

    Just a really good day today, started out making a record driving time and it got better from there. I pulled into the parking lot at 8:50 and caught the eighth chair up the mountain......hill.....slope. Only the learning area quad was open with a 10' by 500' WROD. It had rained overnight so the...
