    Skiing Passover (Mon / Tues)

    Just found out the kids are off school Mon and Tues. Contemplating a slopeside seder. What's open and worth it and not a whole day's drive from the greater NY metro? Quick look around and I think Jay might be the only realistic option. I have an Indy, and the kids would love the waterpark...

    "A 'potentially significant' storm could hit the East Coast with rain and snow during the busy Thanksgiving travel week" https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/16/weather/thanksgiving-travel-weather-forecast-storm/index.html I want models showing 30"+ in the Berkshires! I want pure unwarranted hype...

    Teaching Little Kids to Ski

    Hello everyone and happy start to the 19/20 ski season. Question for those who've been there - what's the best way to teach your little ones to ski? The junior yeti is 2 1/2 and getting his first real skis. He's already done a couple trips between the legs on plastic skis - he's familiar with...

    Mountain Creek - Ch. 11

    Didn't see a thread on this. Mtn. Creek files for bankruptcy. Seems to be mainly a debt restructuring involving sewer debt and local municipalities, so it says they will stay open. But you have to wonder how this impacts short term borrowing for operations, and it's bad press if you're...

    Snowboarders - I need a new Ride

    Seeking recommendations from any of you that follow all the new tech and trends. Current deck is a 2012 Ride High Life UL, 167 cm. Really liked this deck, especially when I got it on sale for 160 bucks, shipped (Dec. '12). Basically a cambered deck but they had some gimmicky way to refer to...

    Free Ride and Ski Club Coupons

    I should have posted these a month ago, hopefully someone can get some use out of them. These are only for those that have the Ride and Ski Card (ridenski.com). Not sure how many folks here can use these, but I have four coupons for each mountain. I think the best way to do this is by pairs...

    East Coast Skiers - There is Nothing in Here That You Need

    Don't do it. Just... don't even bother, not worth it. It's not like watching ski videos in the middle of summer and getting stoked... it's just depressing. Perhaps even angering. We'd be better off if this was relocated down to a subforum of "Other Outdoor Sports" or something. Unless...

    Bromley

    Awesome day at Bromley today. From bomber groomers in the morning to still finding fresh tracks off plunge and the Eastside Glade all day. I know I'm preaching to the choir, hopefully everybody is having a great weekend wherever you are. However if you're on the fence about heading out skiing...

    2/14 Berkshire East

    Late on the report, but a great day, so I'll just share some pictures. Funnest was first run bombing down Comp in fresh snow. Woods were great all day. Did have the first wind holds I've ever seen at B. East in the afternoon, so I checked out the new bar, which is nice. Still had great runs...

    Weather 1/11 and beyond

    I'm fixin' to bail on plans to head to the Berkshires / S VT for the weekend. Depending on where I look, I'm seeing a good chance of rain both days, possibly severe. Hard to believe with the current temps.... any chance of it not pouring? Anything look good on the horizon? Anything brewing...

    Almost Free Lift Tickets for Mountain Snow on Christmas

    Due to an family emergency we cannot get north for Christmas. I have two tickets for Mountain Snow that are otherwise unusable and am giving them away (good for Christmas day only). There's a bit of a hiccup in that you might need to do some persuading at the window..... This would be best...

    Bromley 12/14 & 15 VERY DISAPPOINTING

    Went up to Bromley this weekend, arrived early Saturday morning and went to put my boots on in my usual cozy corner on the third floor, with all that dark wood and large, old, dark picnic tables, only to find they've renovated! Gone is the homey feel and character and it's being replaced with...

    Ski Resort Map

    Anyone else have trouble w/ the ski resort map off the main page? Lots of missing links to ski areas, difficulty navigating the map. May just be my browser, or maybe someone needs to update some of the links.... It almost seems like there are certain 'dead' spots in the map, the catskills...

    Berkshire East 3/9-10/2013

    Had a great weekend at Berkshire East. Although they didn't quite get the totals some Cats areas reported, I'd say they had 9" at the top. Saturday morning groomers were wonderful. As it warmed up, the natural trails started to ski real well. Favorite bump runs were Jug, Flying Cloud and...
