    Rosebrook open at Bretton by Feb 3 ?

    Thinking of taking the kids up to BW first weekend in Feb. None of the trees are open yet and I'm not sure what the base is like in there at this point. What do you figure the chances are of opening them up if we see 6-8 inches by Feb 3?

    Powder pointers??

    Barring any windholds, I'm taking the kids up to Crotched in a couple hours for a few turns. Still quite the newbie myself... most of my experience is on groomers and boilerplate. Any quick pointers for the powder? Thanks!

    Black-Wildcat at Feb break?

    Another post got me thinking. Looking ahead towards our kids' Feb break, we were considering renting a place up around Jackson or somewhere in the valley and hitting Black, Wildcat and maybe Cranmore. We were thinking about taking advantage of the 5th Grader Passbook (we have twins in 5th), but...

    I think I forgot how to ski!

    Seems so very long ago... Skied for the first time last Feb and hit the slopes maybe 6-8 times. I was in the cellar an hour or so ago to grab a nice 2001 Reserva from Spain and I saw our skis. I feel like I lost everything I gained. I'm sure the muscle/balance memory will return but right now it...

    Save Magic Fundraiser Idea

    Having very recently entered into this wonderful sport where my home hill is a former NELSAP area (crotched), I have been reading with interest what's happening at Magic. I have an idea about a fundraiser. Who would be the best person to contact? Would that be RustyGroomer?

    Wax new skis...end of season?

    We have some new skis arriving any day. They should have a thin factory coat. If we're only going to ski a few times before racking them for the summer, think I should bother waxing them? I plan to do our own waxing next year, but don't presently have the stuff, so I'd get it done for $10 at the...

    Intro thread link dead

    I think the link to the introduction thread is dead. Talking about the link in the message that displays for new users who have yet to post. I landed on a 404 page page from that link. I found the introduction sticky through a search. It seems that thread is buried a little in the Misc Forum and...
