    What should you carry when you ski in the woods alone?

    There are points where you're dead tired2from skiing, dehydrated, disoriented, scared, alone and you think you're going to die... Out west you have heavy pockets of evergreens (never skied west of the Hudson). Here we have open hardwood stands, so a strobe or a small flare (flares always say...

    What should you carry when you ski in the woods alone?

    Please don't take this the wrong way... I never ever ski with a phone. Way too much weight. I like to know the mountain. So, I study it the way many people do on this site. What you don't know is different on big mountains. The guys I ski with can meet at a verbally agreed to spot. So, "I have...

    Dutch Hill (VT) coming back from the dead - sort of

    I learned to ski at Whites Park in Concord, NH. The "slope" was about 100' long and 20' wide. You could only go straight down the hill because kids were lined up on the side. The instructor taught about 30 young kids to snowplow. It was a Park and Rec class.

    Spruce Triple - Sunday River, ME

    Not replacing the gas pump was a poor business decision. What did the pump cost in labor/travel once it failed. Also, the employees aware of the situation feel like they're working for idiots.

    Cannon Lover's Thread

    Light on top of Cannon- Driving south at night toward Cannon you can't miss the bright light on the observation deck on the top of the mountain. I've seen it up close and it's pretty cool. Not at all like a street light. There are also a lot of antennas and I'd guess relay equipment up there. Is...

    Wildcat- Where to stay

    The Comfort Inn in N. Conway is nice. You could go north of the notch and go to Town and Country Inn. The nice thing about the later is Sunday River is just over the border so you could hit both.

    Good New England Bump Runs

    I feel your pain. Sounds like we had the exact same experience. I felt great at the top, small soft moguls. Then massive ice whales. I was half way down the steep ice whales and three snow borders came over the drop. They all fell then kept their boards off and slid from mogul to mogul on their...
