Does anyone know of a good way to compare snowfall totals for all of the northeast resorts (or at least the major ones)? I'd like to see which resorts fared best from the wallop of noreaster after noreaster we've had over the last two weeks. I tried using OpenSnow and using the snowfall history...

Hello everyone, I'm a college student at UPenn and the president of my school's ski team. I helped plan a trip for my team to Brighton, Utah for a winter break trip this year and plan on getting the MAX pass (got an epic local pass, my first ever season pass, last year for our trip to...

Hey guys, I've been wondering this question for a while and have found some conflicting advice when I googled it, so I figure you guys would be a better resource to answer the question. For those of you who ski with families and often fly to ski areas, you know the frustration of trying to...

I know that ski areas like to fudge statistics - Jay Peak probably doesn't really get 376 inches of snow a year and nobody ever skis the 3000 vertical feet top to bottom at Killington, etc. I'm wondering if anyone (especially those who live out west) can expand on Powder Mountain's claim of...

Until recently, I could've been certain that Vail was about to make its move into the northeast by buying some fairly major ski area. Say what you will about Vail Resorts, but I know I would certainly have a greater incentive to buy an epic pass if there was a ski area within 5-6 hours driving...

How is it by now? On OpenSnow they've been getting snow or mixed snow/rain every couple of days, but Mount Washington Avalanche Center switched over from daily reports to General Bulletin, which I think signifies they anticipate getting so little skier traffic (on account of poor conditions/ no...

I put this video together over the weekend. About this point in the season, when I'm not sure if I'll make it out again before next November or December, I love to watch ski videos, so I figured I would share it with you guys. Snow wasn't great but I had a ton of fun this season...

I got to ski at Seven Springs in shorts and a t-shirt last weekend, which is always great fun, but I had hoped February would have a lot of snow in store for the East. I'm quickly realizing now that March is next week, and then April won't be long after that - unfortunately, we don't really have...

I've spent a lot of time recently reading about proposed/cancelled ski area expansions because it's a topic I find really interesting. One thing I've noticed, however, is that certain regions seem to see a lot more or less expansion activity than others. For instance, I think that British...

I love looking at trail maps in my spare time. Some of them (almost always drawn by James Niehues) are fantastic- they really replicate the actual look and feel of the mountains. These trail maps are almost artwork in how beautifully they are drawn. Other trail maps are painful to look at and...

What is tux usually like 1 month from now (thinking weekend of apr 24). Is it generally good or too late in the season to be worth it? This season is probably better than usual, so I will try to factor that in to your answers. I do know about time for tuckerman's (and it's a valuable resource)...

I really want to go spring skiing sometime in the next couple weekends. What do you guys think are the top 5 places to go between now and mid-April, given the conditions? Tucks/other backcountry areas count as answers.

Title of the thread is the description. I've been wanting to get out and ski for days now but will probably have to wait just a bit longer. I've used up the ski movies and figured we need some new threads on here to spice things up. Too tired right now to type a full response but I'll think of a...

When Days of my Youth came out last week, it was free to watch for 72 hours, so I streamed the whole thing. A lot of scenes, especially those filmed in Alaska, were quite visually impressive- but I have to say, I felt kind of underwhelmed by the whole thing. Did anyone else get this feeling...

I don't generally pay attention to early season snowfall because it only hurts more to think about skiing when I know I won't get to go until winter break, so I'm wondering, Is this winter getting off to a slow start or is this typical? Both for the east and for the rest of the country. The...

We need to keep the discussion threads coming with all the stoke that is going on. I was thinking earlier about this because I have trail maps hanging on my walls. I can spend a long time looking at certain trail maps, imagining I was skiing. Some are more absorbing than others and I can spend...

If you could change one thing at one ski area, what would it be? You can change anything you want, no matter how ridiculous- but it can only be one thing. I guess keep your answers to east coast ski areas, I'm interested to see some of these answers!

So I was looking on UnofficialNetworks.com today and they posted a video from Ryan Dunfee of TGR about Vermont backcountry skiing. The video wasn't loading on that site because it has a crappy server and a lot of ads, so I looked it up and watched it on video, which you can see here...

Whiteface on Sunday March 2nd was a great day. The forecast was originally saying negative temperatures, but the actual temperature was between 4˚ and 10˚ or so. It was flurrying throughout the day- it may have added up to maybe an inch throughout the day, but it wasn't too noticeable. The snow...

This is a little late notice, and it may have been posted already anyway. if you like teton gravity research on facebook, you can watch their ski film, "Way of Life", for free through tonight (2-25-14). I watched it earlier today and enjoyed it, although the Ski the East films are better.
