    Heading West

    I had a great time a Loveland. Very laid back and cheaper. Also like the trees on outback at keystone. Because it has a mellow rep. tge trees don't see alot of traffic. I hate the layout of Breckenridge. Very hard to get around. A basin is very good but NOT as good as most people seem to...

    Stingiest midweek operators?

    I can't believe that this thread has made it to page 5 without someone complaining about Gore Mt. yet. High peaks chair rarely runs. They close half or more of the glades then advertise on their trail count page that they are open. ( I have had employee's tell me that they can have the trail...

    When is it too warm to ski?

    To reiterate...... When the snow is gone, cause you have probably have 6 months of biking before you can ski again. So why not go EVERYTIME you can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tux 2014 - Who's thinking about it?

    We skinned all the way to the ravine floor and up the run out of lobster claw. Booted with and ice ax up lobster then skins again to the AT above lake of the clouds. Crampons on and a scramble to the summit. Then skied down the cog. Very wind blown on the west side. Fair amount of walking...

    Tux 2014 - Who's thinking about it?

    Have been there 13 times I think. Maybe more. Sometimes late (Memorial Day) sometimes early (last weekend in march). Have skied it in the the pouring down rain probably more then sunny. Once frozen solid and smooth as the kitchen counter. Have had a fantastic time every time. Go with a good...

    Snowfields slid yesterday

    Hillmans and left are in very good shape right now. Summit area does not have great coverage. Northeast snowfields will be good to go for a long time yet. I would expect the little head wall to "blow out" soon, making for a walk back to hermit lake from the ravine. Sent from my iPhone using...

    carving skis

    Rossi, Head, Blizzard, Vokle, and Fischer all make very good carving, race ski's. Or just google your favorite manufacturer with " slalom" attached and see what you find. ^^ Pressure or force is not what determines the skis turn radius. How far you roll the ski over to engage the sidecut will...

    carving skis

    This is a review of my everyday trench diggers http://starthaus.com/wordpress/2012/10/31/head-i-supershape-magnum-ski-review-world-cup-for-the-everyday-skier/ ^^Bigger the radius the longer (straighter) the turn is. The smaller radius the "tighter" the turn. More "G" force, deeper trenches...

    carving skis

    Slalom race would be the way to go / high end slalom side cut would work 65ish under foot - I would definitely stay 70 or less under foot 13m or less if you really want to hang it out there Don't be afraid to go shorter (a little) also The shorter the bigger the sidecut typically Sent...

    Blue Mt or Camelback tomorrow?

    I work at Blue and it was a mad house today. We got 2" last night which made the skiing descent. Lots of granular to be had still.
