Heading for the River next weekend and curious if anyone has a report from last weekend. Specifically how well Oz survived the summer temps last week. Forecast shows snow this week but nothing major so far. If you'll be up there and want to share turns on the same trail, let me know.

Sunday River (Saturday & Sunday) Red Spyder jacket, black pants, blue helmet with an Alpine Zone sticker. PM me if you'd like to meet up and share some runs.

Do you prefer a HSQ offering a quick reward for showing up early even though the powder will be tracked out by the masses in an hour? or Do you prefer a slow lift where powder lasts longer? I was originally assuming that the same number of fresh powder runs would be made either way but if...

The purpose of the fat ski is to allow a shorter ski to perform like it's longer counterpart. In the longer ski quiver I would consider two types. 1. A soft powder ski that uses the extra length for surface area to float and the extra length of the tip and tail to flex easier in deep snow...

Date(s) Skied: 3.2.13 - 3.3.13 Resort or Ski Area: Waterville Valley Conditions: Corduroy Trip Report: Booted up and went for a quick bio-break before heading out. While standing at the urinal the lights went out so I glanced over expecting to see someone had leaned on a light switch but...

Date(s) Skied:02.20.2013 Resort or Ski Area: Wachusett Conditions: Bullet proof Trip Report: Sad to say the rain from Tuesday froze up hard and left Wachusett a rather icy mess on Wednesday. I'm not sure whether they'll fire up the guns for a little resurfacing but if not it'll likely take...

I've been guilty of skiing my rockered powder boards and demoing skis with 98mm waists lately. Almost like I've had a one track mind in search of an all mountain ski even though I've always believed a quiver of skis was the way to go. I do like the carving ability of my World Cup GS skis but...

I haven't decided yet, but others can certainly chime in for meet ups.

Date(s) Skied:02.03.2013 - 02.15.2013 Resort or Ski Area: Les 3 Vallées and Zermatt Conditions: Machine Groomed and powder Trip Report: I know it's not New England but it's still skiing so I thought I'd better offer a trip report for anyone heading to Europe during the 2013 season. I skied a...

Another thread about improving resorts got me thinking about high speed lifts. I'm a big fan but there are others that complain that high speed lifts crowd the slopes or force resorts to widen trails. My preference for high speed lifts may be from my daily ski pattern. I arrive early to take...
