    3-18, 19, 20 Bolton Valley, Jay Peak, Mad River Glen PICS!

    After that giant storm on Tuesday last week I was lucky enough to have a VT trip planned to 3 mountains that I had never been to before. We made Bolton Valley the home base and skied there, Jay, and MRG. Bolton was outstanding. If I had to guess, their clientile doesn't venture into the...

    Wildcat 12-12 Powder day!

    It was a hell of a drive getting up 16 early in the morning, but totally worth it! As I got closer to the mountain, I was seeing more and more snow fall. They only advertised 5-6ish inches, but I feel there was definitely more like 10-12 in places over the course of the day. I got to the lot...

    Anyone go to Aroma Joes?

    Been seeing this place pop up a lot around the area. Their website touts superb customer service with a smile and high quality ingredients to make their customers day. How's the coffee? Energy drinks? Food? What are you experiences with them?

    Holy ticks!

    Has anyone else noticed the incredibly high amount of ticks out this season? I know it was a warm winter and all, but doing some trail running with my dog has given us about 6-10 ticks (that I've found!) per run! Hiking at Gunstock provided even more- its insane. I might be back to road...

    Hahnenkamm, Streif - One Hell of a Ride

    Its a documentary about one of the most dangerous downhill courses. I'm planning on renting it from Amazon this week. An excerpt from the article: “The first time I was at the start I was really scared,” says former ski racing phenom Didier Cuche at the beginning of the documentary STREIF: One...

    Wildcat 12-30 after the storm

    Planning on heading up after the storm on Wednesday to the 18-24" projected model for the Presidential range. They've been cold since Sunday, the ground is frozen, and the (limited) snow they make should set a base for the new stuff to fall on. I don't expect a full mountain of skiing at first...

    Gunstock 12-13

    **I'll put up some photos later today.** Hiked the Ridge Trail around 1pm with the lady, pup, and a friend on Sunday. A steep first ascent up the logging/service road to the cell tower. Views were already happening. We walked the ridge and then up some windy, tight, tree laden trail along the...

    Very good cold weather gloves- opinions?

    Hi Guys! Looking for some advice on gloves. I know its a super subjective subject, but after my nice Scotts gave up the ghost last season (after having them for 3), its time for a replacement. My extremities get cold very easily. Layering is a bible that I live by, and I'm in good physical...

    Large accomodations near Burke?

    Just putting this out there since my own searches have been less than fruitful. Does anyone know of a large format rental near Burke that might be available for New Years? It'd have to fit ~10 somewhat comfortably. Room share isn't a huge issue, everyones family.

    Stowe & Smuggs 4-18 & 4-19

    Still using up those Ski VT passes burning a hole in my pocket. Since Stowe and Smuggs close up shop on Sunday, we're headed up there. Shoot me a message or post here if you want to make some spring turns.

    What is the Stowe hotel with the awesome, free breakfast included with the room?

    Yeah, thats a little vague, but if you've stayed there, you know what I'm talking about. Its a place that has a proper hotel and in the back, a very cheap 'motor inn.' Its right off RT100, possibly on 108, but not very far down. The rooms in the motor inn are older and reasonably priced, but...

    PICO closing weekend 4-4-15

    Sure, the ticket would have only been $25, but I still had 4 Ski VT passes to use! The day started very early in the pouring rain just outside of Providence. It hammered down on us all the way up until we were about 7 miles from Killington and Pico. You could literally stand on one side of the...

    PICO saturday before Easter

    3-4 of us are headed up to take advantage of the $25 ticket with 3 canned goods. I'll have blue Technica boots, orange skis, dark blue/black jacket with black helmet and AZ stickers on it. Yell "RAY!" if you see it and want to make some soft, tree turns.

    3-20 Fri- 3-23 Mon- Attitash and/or Wildcat

    I'll be up for a long weekend staying at the Attitash Village with some friends. Planning on Wildcat or Attitash either day, no real schedule. More than likely start each morning at Wildcat and move to Attitash after but who knows? Anyway, if you're up in that area and want to make some turns...

    Awesome powder day at Stratton 2-22

    Our morning started like it should have- up at 4:40am and out the door by 5. That was, until my skiing buddy realized that he left his Ski VT passes at his house. Half an hour delayed, we made the trek up. RT 30 was its usual pain in the ass if you're not on the road early enough. We followed a...

    Headed to Stratton Sunday- trees?

    Was trying to choose Okemo or Stratton to start using up some Ski VT passes and it looks like Stratton will get a good refresher late Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, so we're headed there. Its been a few years since I've used them as the 'home mountain.' Since one of the last times I...

    AZ Summit Report

    Thanks again for setting up the trip! I brought a couple of newcomers this year who were, to say the least, incredibly impressed by the parties put on and the accommodations, and most importantly, the fantastic deal that Sugarloaf affords us on this message board. I hope we'll be seeing them...
