i am considering using shipskis.com to get my skis out to jackson next month. i called the hotel and they were pretty damn chill about receiving them for me. I'm flying newark to chicago to slc on american with only 1 hour layover time in chicago. then i land and immediately drive to jackson...

this damp december saturday plus skiing in the rain last friday at sugarbush got me perusing the internet for better waterproofed outerwear and gloves. currently i have an older version of this strafe insulated jacket. it doesnt list a waterproofing number, but it does say "Fully seam sealed...

seems overly bullish - the gfs has a more coastal track with the heaviest snow in NH, but fuck, please do this:

i got black crows corvus last summer. of the 34 days this season, i've skied the crows the most of my 3 skis, so about 17 days on them. at gore 2 weeks ago i grabbed my skis from the rack to go back to the car and noticed that the tails werent sitting flush when the skis were together and locked...

pretty cool read. some places i knew about, some places i didnt know about. they aren't spilling tea as these are all sanctioned zones. https://vtsports.com/your-guide-to-backcountry-skiing-in-vermont/?fbclid=IwAR2fOYFK8vi2FH9yhXRgLQ00S86rzMc1x4gBgHJvVgIQZERjdY4gUFDetDE 800 acres of...

was going to post this in trip reports but decided that this board doesnt get the traffic to warrant sub-boards... general thoughts - if you like steep skiing and mandatory hiking in the most no frills atmosphere possible, go to silverton. its really an amazing and unique place. i was a bit...

https://www.killington.com/the-mountain/mountain-info/mountain-improvements K-1 lodge needs the facelift. tis a shithole. the quad will ease november lines, but put 25% more people on some already crowded slopes pico snowmaking is a great thing. overall, pleased.

absolutely unbelievable for nov 30 and dec 1 skier packed powder and tree stashes on an empty MRG friday: madonna mountain untouched after the 28” storm. medium density. perhaps the best eastern conditions ive ever skied. a three foot storm at mad river and Stowe in ~2012 is the only thing...

i really cannot say enough good things about my douchebags (i have two of the classic ski bags). they are so well designed, they adapt to the length of your skis, they have a great system for rolling, are not hard to carry, have a skeletal frame to protect your things, and are made from some...
