So we're finally almost ready and making the move next week, driving from Keene NH to Denver. We'll have two vehicles, 2 cats, and a fair amount of stuff and limited time so I'm not looking to hit up Cedar Point Amusement Park (as much as I'd love to) but looking for suggestions on quick hit...

Some of you may know I recently accepted a new job in Denver. Six years ago I moved to NH and encouraged by this site (BobR looking for one more team member for the AZ race team) re-found my love of sliding on snow and found some good friends along the way... The AZ race team (especially...

Conditions: PP, moderately 'firm' Course: Twister Gates: Twisty Our first somewhat technical course of the season... so far most had been pretty straightforward, tonight was more what we's seen in years past: a course that punishes you if you don't ski clean. Amazingly enough, that seemed to be...

This weekend was warm and springlike so inevitably things had to firm up, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for racing. Met up with BobR, skibum9995, hammer, and non-board member KM around 530. The Pats staff worked their way through a bit of the usual first night jitters (bib/pass isn't...

'rainy day survival kit' - all the flicks, + extras $60 Other stuff on sale, shirts (limited sizes) etc.

Quick report since I'm at work. We're in the finals, although last night was the worst night. Arrived last minute after skiing Magic with my dad most of the day. No ga2ski or djspookman. One "jump" (more of a drop) in the course, which I thought was pretty fun (I missed the jump night a...

MG PP, somewhat firm but still pretty soft overall. Course was on Twister. Straightest start I've ever seen. No real turns for the first 3 gates. Bizarre, since you usually traverse across the trail for the first gate. Got a little bit turnier 4-5th gate. Green course seemed quite a bit...

Date(s) Skied: Monday Night 1/5/09 Resort or Ski Area: Pat's Peak, Henniker NH Conditions: PP, LSGR; Clear with temps in the 20s Trip Report: Showed up early to allow djspookman to get some turns in on the new gear. Met up with skibum9995 and waited nearly an hour for the Pat's crew...

http://theprouty.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=262683 Anyone else riding or walking? This will be my first year, just the 50 mile ride. Still farther than I have ever ridden before. I've been slowly getting into shape riding after work but have a ways to go. Best so far was about...

I'm looking for a shoe to be used for both road and MTB. I've got a pretty narrow foot (for skiing Langes work well for me). Went to the local shop and couldn't find anything in their limited selection (mostly Pearl Izumi) - I had to crank down the straps so much I get a stabbing feeling in the...

Mount Snow and Killington/Pico prices go up at the beginning of the month. I was planning on buying the Snow Classic pass but couldn't pull the trigger. I was very impressed with the fan guns and new management this year, but I'm still waffling between $500 for Snow and $650 for K/Pico. Snow is...

Met up with riverc0il to take advantage of the auto road being open and get some slacker turns in on the East Snowfields of Mount Washington. Stellar, bluebird day (I'm burned even though I applied sunscreen 3x during the day). The T4T folks created a fun and welcoming scene setting up camp up...

Took off from work about 10:30 to hit up Magic. Arrived to 6-10" of wet, dense pow. Ran into a few maggots from TGR, had a blast skiing with dromond. Still some crust underneath on goniff/twilight. Actually skied one of the sweetest groomers last run. The mountain should ski real nice this...

Started the day taking Gazoom up to Little Cloud to hit Mineral Basin. Thunderbowl untracked: It's amazing how quickly the Bird gets tracked. I watched Regulator Johnson go from untracked pretty quickly on the ride up: Gad Valley: First run was the Bookends: Looking back towards the...

What an incredible day. We got a bit of a late start, hit SLC traffic and arrived around 10 or so. Lots of fresh tracks all day, I'm destroyed after skiing bell to bell yesterday at Snowbasin and all day today. 15"+ of fresh everywhere. What a great mountain. I don't understand why the masses...

Warm and a bit wet, but we got a decent clearing to race and managed to pretty much stay dry. Pretty small turnout - not even 2 full pages of individual results. Course was on Twister, but relatively straight. For the past few weeks the starts have been straight into the course rather than...

Sort of related to the Backcountry sale thread. It's the beginning of the sale season, so what'd you score? Not as good as Devo's comp120 deal last year, but.... My local EMS is closing and had some sweet deals. Picked up all sorts of stuff, but the best deal might have been used but in very...

Conditions: Pow over hardpack, some over groomed. Great shape overall. Pow turns were easy to come by all day, you just had to look a little harder later on ;) Arrived about 5 til 8 to a full lot one. Got over the shock once I realized it was almost entirely racers, although their parents get...

Alright, looks like no one else is gonna do it. Conditions: "firm, but edgeable" Met up with skibum9995 in the lodge around 5 or so. Training happening on FIS so we never hit it, save ga2ski's wax scraping run. Checked out Twister first run, then worked our way back across the hill (skipping...

Met up with tree_skier and skibum9995 who gave me some crap for my "4:30" arrival (at about 5:15). Ga2ski, riverc0il, and others arrived shortly thereafter. We were on the slopes around 5:30 or so - we hit the soft MG PP on cyclone and duster before waiting to sign up. Ga2ski and I both had...
