We saw plenty of buried by snow pictures from our west after this past season's epic snowfalls. Now we get pictures from Lee Canyon of lift base terminals buried in rock and mud. Very sad to see. https://liftblog.com/2023/08/24/following-storm-lee-canyon-closes-for-the-season/

Here's the first shot across the bow due to soaring electrical Rates. Wonder how this will affect ski area operations across the landscape this year. https://www.newenglandskiindustry.com/viewstory.php?storyid=994

For the first time in what feels like forever, the US will host more than two FIS WC events, doubling that to 4. K-Cup will unfortunately be the only stop for the ladies still, but the men ass stops in Palisades for a tech round (2/25-26) and Aspen for a speed round (3/3-5) post World...

So, as of this Wednesday morning, Killington, Sunday River and Loon were all blowing snow. Anyone else putting down some extra depth this late?

Even out west, spring ski trips and timing play hand in hand. I have been very fortunate my two previous April trips to Bachelor were well timed. This third trip proved to be just as well. Our first day was Sunday, April 25th and arrived to midwinter temps, a couple of inches of fresh snow...

Skiing at Loon today reminds me how I hate the new early spring forward. It's 2om now and things are just finally getting soft and playful and a below freezing night. Next week a similar day would mean it would be 3pm before the snow gets playful. Anyone else dress the shift Sunday morning...

Snowmaking for real has begun, Sunday River this morning. Also from reports on the hill, snow made on Upper Right Stuff and Lights Out and above in Aurora Sent from my Pixel 3 using AlpineZone mobile app

First time hiking in NH Great North Woods, these peaks are a great hike! The trail to North Percy is the primary hike and is well marked and traveled (orange blazed). South Percy is off of a side trail (yellow blaze) and then splits from that loop trail with a sign on a narrow but still...

Just a heads up, anyone who received their New England Passes from Sunday River or Sugarloaf looking to ski at Loon, you cannot go direct to lift on your first visit at Loon with those. You need to stop by any Loon ticket outlet and trade in your SR or SL issued pass for one from Loon. Only...

Boyne is launching the next gen of RFID gates and Loon and Big Sky are the first to get them for this season. No more taking you Ikon pass to the ticket window first at Loon. https://www.prweb.com/releases/boyne_resorts_first_in_the_world_to_offer_dual_frequency_lift_access/prweb16524114.htm...

May 1st and after a warm and terribly wet April, Mother Nature has become e confused again. Currently snowing lightly at the KBL, looks to be more early March weather for the May 1st slalom than the day it is. Sent from my Pixel 3 using AlpineZone mobile app

Took my time posting a review, so here goes. Got my Mindbender 99's (177cm) just prior to our trip to Utah in February and mounted Marker Griffons on them. Same binding I have been using on my Pinnacle 95's (177cm). The ski has great edge control and stability at speed, provided me with...

For those that haven't heard, Sunday River has axed their DH park. They apparently are still toying with the idea of allowing biking on the trails but if they do, they won't be allowing bikes on the Chondi any longer. A shame and sad with the work they have put in over the past several years...

Well, we got a new water feed line for Snowmaking (long since needed) but Boyne better be all in. Barker only took 2 days before breaking and going down for a weekend this year. That lift needs to be replaced. I recall DB telling me he thought the mountain was broken without Spruce when it...

Anyone who skis Killington regularly, how goes the Superstar build this year? We're half way through February and the end of February is often the end of the Snowmaking season for them. Thanks Sent from my XT1650 using AlpineZone mobile app

Came out for so.e spring skiing and wound up getting a midwinter powder day too! Day 1: April 19 Well, the winds were up so all planned lower lifts were up from opening bell but the Summit Express was on windhold. Started the day by heading over to the Northwest Express. If the Summit isn't...

Looks like the new terrain may be in for this season: https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2016/08/30/waterville-valley-resort-build-new-ski-trails/OfgJY4Mte7d0GCrmNlVvSP/story.html

Well, this is about right after suffering through one of if not the least snowy winters ever. From the observatory this morning: The summit received 1.4 inches of snow overnight; June total now stands at 6.9 inches, third "snowiest" June in our data set (1932-present). And for those wondering...

Looks like Sugarloaf will be the only resort to reap snow today. Snowing hard and they look to be just far enough North to stay mostly snow. Let's hope this starts a trend that moves South as well!!
