    How Far Would You Go On a Day Trip?

    Something said in the "when is a deal not a deal" made me curious about how far people were willing to travel on day trips. I try to stay around 2.5 tops but thinking about upping it this year.

    So normally I am fine with just a base layer under my shell, weight of the base layer dependent on weather and activity. But there are days (like those this week) where that is not going to cut it, especially if I'm riding a lift. Seems like bottom mid layers are not all that common an item --...

    Private Lessons - Any Instructor Recommendations/Endorsements (New Hampshire)

    Long time reader/first time caller. I've gotten back into skiing after about 12 years away. When I left the sport I was an advanced and aggressive skier, comfortably skiing the whole mountain. Got back into it this year and although I never found myself having to go back to the wedge or...
