This is a long shot, but I thought I'd ask. I'm going to Chamonix Saturday 3/11 - Wednesday 3/15, followed by Verbier 3/16-3/18. I'm bring a few people with me. Is anyone going to be there that wants to split a mountain guide? I'd like to go off piste for a day (or three), and the glaciers are...

I met two coworkers at Cannon for a premeditated sick day. A third guy, who organized the whole thing, skipped out on our skip day claiming he was actually sick. Whatever... his loss. I showed up at 8am for 9am first chair. I was the second car in the lot. There was fog around Plymouth on the...

I've started to rethink my ski tuning bench setup, which would also double as a workbench in the off season. I'd like something sturdy and with storage. What type of setup do you guys have? Pictures, plans, and links would be appreciated. This is your opportunity to show off what you have. This...

Does anyone have any expertise in driveway paving? Right now I have a driveway that is one car wide and two deep. This works out sub-optimally, especially when you consider that we own two large vehicles (a full-size pickup and midsize SUV). I am looking to widen the driveway and have received...

I figure this is as good a place as any to seek some sagely advice. Today and tomorrow I am having 12 trees taken down. Of those about half are Norway maple. For those unaware, it's an illegal invasive species that seems to have conquered my yard. Tonight I went out to start splitting the wood...

I received notice that my Citi Forward card is having its benefits slashed. It used to give 5% back on bars, restaurants, Amazon, books, music and movies. Everything else was 1% back. Given the amount of money I spent online, eating out, and drinking this was an obvious choice. Apparently it's...

It's time to buy a new car. I'm planning to keep my 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe and replace my wife's car. Challenge: most cross-overs have a cargo cabin that is way too short to carry my skis without pulling up the front seat. I need suggestions! We started back at the Hyundai and Subaru...

I've decided to start a thread of those people who are looking for jobs, or even better those with jobs to advertise. I thought I'd start out... I work for HERE. We're a global mapping company that is working on the next generation of cloud-based location services. We were recently sold by...

I checked the policies but did not see anything relevant. My employer is starting a recruitment push. What is the policy on advertising job opening to fellow skiers? Perhaps in the miscellaneous forum. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone mobile app

I am curious, what did everyone pick up at the ski expo? My loot: 1 free ticket to Cranmore via a Twitter give-away 2 tickets to Great Glen Trails for joining the Friends of Tuckerman Ravine 2 free tickets to Ragged from their "cash booth" machine 2 neck warmers from AttiCat $2250 in AttiCat...

After skiing on Monday at Sunday River, I took my skis downstairs for the first hand tune of the year. Last month they had all gone to the shop for a stone grind. As I went to check out the bases, I realize the end is near. After the last stone grind, the base is worn out to the point where you...

After it was pointed out that there is no thread, here it is: Around noon on March 7 a chair fell off the line of the summit double at Black Mountain in Jackson, NH. I heard, but cannot confirm, there was at least one injury though not life threatening. A state inspection following the accident...
