    Going to take up Snowblading! (aka skiboarding, fruitbooting, skiblading)

    I'm predicting a massive resurgence in the popularity of snowblading by the end of the decade. As I like to stay ahead of the curve, I'll be taking up the sport as soon as I can get my hands on the correct equipment. If anyone has a pair for sale of Line or other performance skiboards in the...

    Killington - Infrastructure Collapse Pending

    Killington's Impending Infrastructure Collapse All this talk about POWDR's Killington "capital improvements" (aka basic maintenance) lead me to ask the question: The way Killington is going, where will they be in 10 years? I first skied Killington in 1988, but started skiing there regularly...

    Judgy Wudgy's

    You know what really grinds my gears? People posting on the internet passing judgement on other people. I may call people idiots, but at least I'm not judging them.

    Ski Pricing - any basis in reality?

    I've been looking at skis, and I'm starting to wonder if the pricing has much more to do with marketing than with cost of production. There is no doubt that there is a difference between low-end skis and high-end skis. High end skis have more features, and presumably incorporate more...

    So what ski areas in the North East or Mid Atlantic are the most Bonorific? Bonorific = anything involving the band U2, a bunch of marginal irish pop musicians. Bono is their lead singer, and has been mocked mercilessly for his antics. Stratton or Stowe have had some memorable Bonorific...

    Revealing Secret Stashes Online - Why YOU are an IDIOT for doing it...

    Recently a long time poster who should know better and will remain nameless* because he's an idiot felt the need to post directions here to one of Killington's more interesting (but far from the most interesting) off the map spots.

    Most Gaperific eastern ski mountain?

    What ski area has the highest concentration of gapers with the fewest experts? I nominate Sunday River - the heavy marketing brings in the masses while the lack of snow keeps the experts away. I bet Okemo is a close second. Killington has plenty of gapers, but also its fair share of experts...

    This thread is for people who couldn't care less about Ski Sundown. Welcome to the party!!! :smash: :-D However, this is not a thread to bash Ski Sundown. It is simply to show a complete lack of interest. Feel free to talk about anything except for politics, religion, and Ski Sundown.
