Reading some posts in forum, I notice that some words are being replaced by symbols. Ex, "****tails". Has a new word editor been installed or is it self editing that's taking place?

I caught myself thinking yesterday, "almost November and not really getting excited about ski season yet." I can't for the life of me figure out why this is. I can't remember ever in my many, many years of skiing, not being excited, anxious, chomping at the bit about the approach of downhill...

Great movie. Great soundtrack.

One of the reasons fall is one of my four favorite seasons is college football. The game and it's associated pageantry..and of course the obligatory imbibing...makes for a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, or Saturday evening, or Thursday evening, or...hell, any time. I'm cautiously...

My daughter asked me to post this: Rome Blue - 151 cm. Great for mountain riding as well as terrain parks. Ultra light and snappy with high-end wax absorption for high-end speeds, high density wood along edges for high-speed control. Also has smooth flexing matrix for added response on rails...

I'm making a trip to southern VT this weekend with my terminally intermediate, non-ski-owning brother. We haven't finalized our plans other than to do one day at Stratton with our cell phone freebies. We'll probably do either Mt Snow or Okemo the other day (Sunday). Can anyone reccomend a decent...

I spent the afternoon at Mt Peter with my will-be-6-years-old-next-week son yesterday. We were two of what was no more than 25 people on the hill until the after-school crowd started to arrive around 4PM. I must say that for a tiny (400' vertical) ski area with but a working double chair and...

I got turned on to this band recently. My jury is still out, trying to decide between talent and a novelty act. Band's name is Jesus H. Christ And The Four Hornsmen Of the Apocolypse.... They have a Myspace and Facebook page. One song that has definitely caught my attention...

I have a few days in southern VT later this week and I'm thinking of hitting up Magic for my first time. I've read how good a place it is after new snow falls, but what's the take if nothing new has fallen for a while? Forecast talks of possibly some light snow durinng the week, but no...

This may well have been covered here and I'm just not finding the discussion, but.....where do those that do get wax at a reasonable cost? Heck, while I'm asking.....any iron suggestions will be appreciated. I dropped my Dakine iron last week just to watch the plastic body explode on the floor.

After a bit of uncertainty because of concern about potential NIAR that was predicted for today, I bit the bullet and tripped over to Elk Mountain. It was my first visit to this place and the first time I've skied in PA in at least 15 years. An hour and 25 minutes after leaving home I hit the...

Anyone able to tell me about skiing in the area near The Balsams Resort in NH? I'm considering attending a continuing education seminar being held there in February. I am aware that there is a small (?) ski area that is part of the resort, but I'm wondering about the proximity of other skiing...

I'm admittedly taking the lazy way out by asking here rather than researching this. Is anyone familiar with the latest on the idea of Haystack opening it's slopes to a members-only clientele? I remember hearing about some original plans that even included putting in a heliport to shuttle members...

Quite the disappointment.

My wife and I decided to have a costume party. To put a little variation on the theme, we asked everyone to come dressed as an emotion. First guest arrives in a pink, frilly dress and she's giggling. "That's easy, you're 'Tickled Pink' ". Next guest is in a green leotard and he's sneering...

If anyone listens to vinyl, I've just culled 66 LPs from my collection that I'll give away. Most of it is vintage 70s and 80s. Some may not have been played in 10+ years, so I can't vouch for sound quality anymore. I'll forward a list to anyone who's interested.
