I have a pass to burn at Waterville, and I'm running out of potential days to use it up. Tomorrow seems good as it will be an early end anyway, no matter where I go. How stupid will Sunday be? I'm ok with moderate crowds, but not interested if it's gonna be complete insanity. Is this plan...

I occasionally wander through Marshalls to see what's in their seasonal section. Usually good for some socks, sometimes better. Looks like they got a pile of Bolle goggles in, some pretty nice looking ones. I usually prefer Smith goggles, but I picked up some Bolle Emporers in the hideous...

As some of you know, we make an annual trip up to Stowe VT each winter for a long weekend. We have family there, so our lodging is free- making the despicably overpriced lift tickets slightly less painful. It’s usually a drive up on Saturday, ski Sun/Mon, drive home Tuesday. This year, we took...

Even though the conditions sounded marginal at best up north, and the fact that I slept until 11:30am today, I still needed to get outside and onto some snow. So I packed up the XC stuff and made the quick trip to Weston. They had guns blasting, but only about a .5km loop open. All things...

Rossignol xc cross country NNN boots size 43 For sale: a lightly used pair of Rossi X2 NNN cross country ski boots. These are tagged as a size 10 / 43 but I think Rossi's xc boots run small. These fit my feet perfectly as a 9.5 / 42.5 / M 27.5 (which is my normal shoe / boot size). I used...

March 9, 2013 Westborough (MA) Country Club Packed powder, heavy wet snow Well, I would have liked to put a trip report here for some big NH mountain that was on my list for today, but a sick spouse meant I was home with both kids. Since the younger one doesn't really have a lot of skiing...

Just got back from a couple hours at Wawa, where the snow conditions were the best I've seen in a long time. I really wanted to bail out from work, but had to put in a full day. I was fearing that all the good snow would be gone by the time we got up there tonight, but I was pleasantly...

Date Skied: Sunday Jan 20 & Monday Jan 21 Resort or Ski Area: Stowe, VT Conditions: Variable Sunday was a crazy weather day. It started out about 44* out, rather windy. Skies were mostly clear, snow was granular. We got a couple good runs on Mansfield off the quad, then it went on wind...

Thinking of heading to Cannon on Sunday. Questions for the locals or regulars: Do you think by Sunday they might would open up a few more glades? Is there any chance they'll open Mittersill? I have no idea what they consider enough snow, or what'll actually fall... I missed out on it last year.

Anybody need a Shawnee Peak voucher? I got it when I bought this year's Ride n' Ski card, but it's clear that I'm not going to be able to make use of it this season. It's valid M-F only with the regular holiday blackouts. Not too easy to use unless you're local... Not looking for money as...

Building 19 is holding their 2011 sale on Saturday November 19 at the Burlington store only. I don't know the hours, but it's usually an early am start. I know there are mixed reviews of this event, but wanted to share. A few years ago, I got some ridiculous deals on lightly used and new xc...

2/3/11 Crotched Mountain, NH Thursday turned out to be perfect to take a day off and check out Crotched. Never having been there before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I know it's not a huge place, but the trail map looked like it offered up some fun runs. Plus, I had a 2-for-1 with the Ride...

12/30/10 Cannon Mountain packed powder, powder, some icy spots Decided that I finally needed to hit Cannon, so I headed up there early Thursday morning. Even though that mountain has a reputation for being cold & windy, it was beautiful yesterday. Mid-high 30's at the base, high 20's at the...
