    Burke

    Heading to Burke on Tuesday for a day on our way to Jay for a couple of days next week. I've never skied Burke and look like we're hitting it pretty decent conditions/open terrain wise. Question - I know the lower mountain isn't really worth skiing, but can we park at mid-burke (Hotel) area...

    Indy Tour of NH

    Have a planned 4 days next week in NH with plans to finally use my Indy Pass. Will be coming from northern CT to NH and staying in the Lincoln area. Current weather seems OK for the first couple of days (Tues/Wed), but wind and rain forecasted for Thursday & Friday. Not a fan of skiing in the...

    Mt Snow 21-22 Season

    Thought I'd update this thread for the current season as Mt Snow will probably be my first area to hit this year. Are they going to make opening day? I'm tentatively shooting for a midweek day just after Thanksgiving, perhaps the 29th or 30th, but don't know if there is going to be much open...

    Old Ski/Snow Country/Powder Magazines

    So don't judge me, but I have a large assortment of older skiing mags that date from late 80's to probably 2015 or so. We're in the process of moving and as much as I'd love to keep these collections, it doesn't seem practical. I don't know exactly what the collection consists of, but know...

    Attitash/Wildcat Info

    Heading out early Monday AM for 3 days in MWV area, using Epic and Indy passes (Attitash/Wildcat/Cannon in that order). I know the skiing is excellent right now and more snow coming in, but also see winds on Monday quite high. So what's the deal at Attitash? Should I expect any wind holds...

    Catamount Local Knowledge

    Looking for some local knowledge of Catamount on windy or semi-windy 15-25 MPH days such as is forecasted for tomorrow. I'm finally using my Indy Pass and heading there tomorrow, but concerned about wind holds. What are people's thoughts? I'd hate to spend hours skiing only the lower level...

    Mt Snow 20-21 Intel

    Heading up on Tuesday for first day out. Since Vail's websites are useless, what's the current snowmaking/lift situation for this coming week? Any chance Carinthia area gets opened to spread folks out? I'd like for more than one option down from North Face area as well, but since their snow...

    Jay Peak Intel

    Anyone been up to Jay yet? Heading there for three days starting Friday for a Fam trip and concerned they only have Jet and two lower mountain chairs open. Anyone know if they are making snow up the Bonnie chair area? Really would be nice to have some added terrain available for next weekend...

    Schweitzer - Feb 12th - 17th

    We got lucky! Watched the weather for quite awhile leading up to this trip and wasn't optimistic about the results, especially knowing it was a bit warmer the week before we left. No worries.... Day 1 was a bit of getting to know the mountain, even though there was a bit of leftover pow from...

    Need Smuggs Info

    Have a couple of WM movie pre Christmas Smuggs tix which I never thought I'd be able to use, but with the early season snow I'm now very interested in getting up there as I love the mountain, but really want Madonna to be open. It seems that Sterling is wide open, but does anyone have any...

    Pro and cons of ski areas staying open when no one is skiing!

    I've skied in all types of weather and actually like the heavy snow blizzard like conditions at times when the slopes are empty and runs just keep filling in with new snow. BUT, I detest skiing when wet weather requires constant goggle cleaning/icing etc when visibility is nil. My question here...

    I'm getting antsy!

    I've watched the ski channel (thank you for the summer stoke) on cable, but know we're getting close (er) to the beginning of weather pattern changes. So where is it going to get cold enough to snow first? Montana? The high peaks of CO such as A-Basin? I know it's early, but I'm getting the...

    When skiing solo....Do you have any type of game plan?

    The reason I ask is that while I'm not usually solo, the few times I do decide to go it alone I'm usually either just hitting it hard and trying to get in lots of vertical in a relatively short time (like 4 or 5 hours) or "playing the mountain" by either trying to hit each lift (beginner/rope...
