New to the Ikon Pass this year. Taking a year away from the River to branch out a bit. We have a great place in Bethel to stay with our dog. Do any of you know good dog-friendly places to stay around Killington, Sugarbush and Stratton? We're mid-week skiers.

Heading into radiation for prostate cancer in a couple of weeks. Prognosis is good and things should work out OK. But it prompts me to think about finally doing a bucket list trip next year using the Ikon Pass. This year is out as we've already got the New England Bronze pass. My wife and I...

Skiing Okemo Monday for the first time and would appreciate some good advice. What is the best/easiest place to park? How about the best place to boot up? Can you leave your boot bag in the lodge or do you have to pay to check them? We're good skiers and any info you could provide on the...

Conditions: a little of everything Hotel: Residence Inn in the village Headed out Saturday a day ahead of schedule because the forecast for Sunday was sunny, the only sun we'd see. Stayed Saturday night in St. Jerome right off the highway and drove up about an hour to ski Sunday. Sunday...

Stayed in Littleton for 2 nights. Skied Bretton Woods Monday, 2/22. Nothing but hard packed groomers. Little evidence of any recent snowmaking. Hadn't been here in 20 years, so it was good just to check it out. Looks like the glades could be decent, if they had any snow in them. Golf...

We're heading for Tremblant in March taking advantage of the current exchange rate. Having never been there before, we could use some inside info both on and off the trails. Any can't miss runs? Best way to navigate the lift system? How about the trees, which hopefully might be open by then...

We haven't been to Jay since all their development in the past few years. We're planning on heading up for Friday. Do they still have a base lodge where one can boot up? Where is it located? I need some help with the logistics of going from the car to the lodge to the lift. Thanks.

Spent one of the all time best days today at Wildcat. Bluebird, mid-30s, shin deep in the trees. But a big highlight was several top to bottom charges down Polecat. Although listed as a green, Polecat, several miles long, skis more like a blue at full speed. With the twists and turns, the...

I have some Stowe tickets and some 2 for 1 coupons for Smuggs. I'd like to stay in Stowe but ski Smuggs for a day without taking the long drive. Can you still go over the top of Spruce and get to and from Smuggs like you used to? Last time I was at Stowe they had it roped off, but there were...

My wife and I went to Sugarbush last week and had a couple of real good days. We stayed at the Golden Lion, which we heard about on this site, getting the $10/night AZ discount, and used two days of 2 for 1 deals from a brochure which we learned about on here. In addition we got some excellent...

We'rer heading there later this week and haven't been there in a long time. As pretty good skiers who like to ski everything from groomed and ungroomed to the woods, can anyone suggest a good plan of attack to maximize our experience over two days? Thanks.

Just back from Italy, our first extensive trip abroad. A day in Cortina has whetted my appetite to try skiing Europe. To those out there who have done so, I'd like your opinion. Where and when would you go if you had only one trip to Europe to take. We are probably level 7 or 8 skiers who...

We will be at Sugarbush for one day midweek this week. Since we haven't skied there before, what would be a good plan for getting the most out of the day. We can ski most everything, but are partial to trees. Thanks.

We're going to be in the southern Berkshires this week visiting family and want to ski one day. We've never been to either one. Both areas are $20 Mon.-Thurs. We're good skiers and I know these areas are pretty small and tame, but we're just looking for a little fun for short money. What do...

Need to make a decision on a 3 day trip this week (Tues.-Thurs.). Has anyone here skied either of these areas recently, like this weekend? What are the real life conditions right now? Thanks.

A word of thanks to those who posted about the early season deals at Burke, Cannon, etc. The wife and I got a room at the Comfort Inn in St. J and two Burke lift tickets for $99 and had one of our best days ever there today. Colorado-like conditions, knee deep pow in the glades. Hoping for...

I'm looking for a good ski to complement my Rossi B-1s. Something to use on soft snow and powder that would be good in the trees and to take out west a couple of times a year. Right now I'm trying to decide between K2 Apache Recons, Rossi B-2s, Volkl AC30s and Dynastar 8000s. Any comments...

I'd appreciate any info you could provide on Brighton, Solitude and Snowbasin. We're heading there in February. I've seen the websites, but would be interested in opinions, particularly ski in/out lodging at Solitude and Brighton, and also lodging close to Snowbasin. Also where out there is...

I am clueless about using wax. What kind do you recommend for typical spring New England conditions, how often should you apply it, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Visiting at my son's place in Leadville. Skied yesterday at Monarch and today at Ski Cooper. Old school double chairs, no crowds, especially considering it's vacation week. Laid back vibe at both. Monarch was a little hard pack while SkiCooper had nearly a foot of fresh. Tomorrow we're...
