    Hunter 4/5/14 and Pond Skim (w/ pics)

    I hit up Hunter for the last skiing day of my 13/14 season. I had a free pass from a friend so I figured why not. It was in the upper 30's (maybe hit low 40's) with a few bits of wet snow-ish precipitation falling. Most trails were still open and got bumped up quick. I would describe it as...

    Quiver?

    So while im not that new to skiing, I have been for 4/5 years, I am new to the online skiing world of forums and stuff like that. Im quickly seeing that people refer to their collection of skis as their "quiver." WTF is up with this?? It's a bit of a thorn in my side, the same as when people...

    Triple Digit Lift Tickets

    Snowed In, Backyard Report! 2/13

    So this post is in jest of my attempt to go skiing yesterday but I failed. I tried to get to Blue Mtn but once I was in PA my car couldnt make it up the hills. Plows were out but couldnt keep up with the snow fall. I was forced to turn around close to the mountain but had to put safety first...

    Park Poles

    Hi all, Im starting to hit up the park more and more. Does everyone use the same length poles for the rest of the mountain? I know some people dont use poles in the park but I prefer to at this point. I use 120cm poles so ive thought of going a little shorter or perhaps adjustable? Tom

    Topsheet Repair

    Hey, So my "new to me" used skis that I picked up have some minor damage on the topsheet. Some scratches which are no big deal but there are some chips and stuff along the edges of the topsheet. Nothing is peeling right now and none are bigger than a few mm. Is there anything I can coat or...
