Curious to hear from those that have made the switch from downhill boot/binding setup to an AT setup. Any noticeable differences when it comes to downhill performance? I am in need of new ski boots & considering doing the switch to an AT setup. The obvious benefit would be the opportunity...

Looking for some spots to ride in greater hartford area....Looks like I will have an opportunity to ride in CT this weekend, and I wanted to try some new spots. I've ridden the Reservoir trails numerous times & I have ridden at Case Mtn a couple times, so looking for some other...

It's the annual debate who will be King of Spring this year...(which for me means: who will be the last spin their lifts). I am hoping it is the Loaf, however I have a feeling it will be K. Anyways some good news from the Loaf's head of operations...See below memo to employees today: Team...

So the discussion on the other thread had me thinking.... With all the deals to be had on a used bike (some seemingly "too good to be true"), What do people do (if anything) to insure the bike they are buying is not stolen? Or is it a don't ask, don't tell situation? I for one have only...

In a "normal" winter, I wouldn't bother with a post like this...However given what Mother Nature has delivered this year, I thought it was worth a post... I love it when the weather "men" screw up the forecast in OUR favor. Initial forecasts were calling for 3-6 inches. There are reports of...

I am trying to get a sense of whether or not Sunday River will be open for the weekend & more importantly whether they will offer up top to bottom. If the stars align I may be able to get out on Sunday, however I don't really want to go if it is not top to bottom (been there done that & don't...

Below statement released by Sugarloaf...It is kind of too bad, because on Wind hold, powder days it was a nice alternative from riding the T-bar and/or avoid the lines. By now, hopefully you have all heard, or read about, our plans to update our lift system with industry-leading technology and...

I debated posting in the TR vs general forum, but decided this is more a PSA on what to expect (or not) expect at Loon. I had heard about the Loon stereotypes: "crowded" "lack of challenging terrain", "groomers", etc... As Boyne passholders for many years, we had talked about trying Loon...

I was not able to find a thread on the upcoming Nationals @ Sugarloaf on 3/26 - 3/29. It is a great opportunity to rub elbows (or more :-o) with some of the sports top athletes. I'll be at the Loaf for most of the event, and looking forward to my date with Lindsey...

After many years of being a Boyne pass holder, we have decided to take advantage of our season passes to "experience" Loon. I've only been once to Loon (many years ago) & it was barely open, so looking for some intel on how to best experience the mountain, trails/glades to hit, places to...
