Have never been to Killington on BMMC weekend--- Is it a complete zoo when actually skiing or is most of the chaos confined to the Bear Mountain base? I'm considering going that weekend, but am just wondering how busy the actual skiing tends to be or if most people just go for the party...

I just brought 2 pairs of skis into a shop to have the bindings adjusted for new boots. On one pair, they set the heels at a different DIN than the toes. I questioned them as to why this was and they said it had to do with the machine they use to test the pressure it takes to release the...

Has anyone ever used Summit Ski in Framingham MA to have bindings mounted? Were you satisfied with the work? I have a pair of skis I got at the end of last season (not at Summit--I had to order them online, as pretty much everyone was sold out by the time I got them) and I need to have the...

Anyone ski Suicide Six? I'm thinking about heading to a smaller (hopefully less crowded) area this weekend and wondered about Suicide Six. How does it ski? Is it steep or pretty tame? I typically ski Okemo when in VT and don't consider any of those single blacks steep---how does S6 compare? I am...

I may be going to Sugarbush and I've never been there before. Which section has better choices for a lower intermediate skier-- Mt. Ellen or Lincoln Peak? I realize I can ski both in one day, but I'm wondering where to start. Not looking for anything super steep-- mostly easier blues to moderate...

I've never skiied on Easter weekend before-- how crowded is it typically? Or does it depend more on when Easter falls-- like since it's early this year, it will likely be a busier time? Is Easter Sunday usually a quiet day to ski or a zoo, what with some people taking a long weekend? I want to...

I was thinking of going to either Pat's Peak or Sunapee on Saturday and noticed that they are both holding pond skimming that day. How do events such as these usually affect crowds? Are more people likely to turn out specifically for these events? I've never gone anywhere on an event day before...

I would guess I'm a low intermediate skiier (I feel good on greens and just starting to ski blues consistently. I'm still in the lesson taking phase, as I feel I improve faster with instruction. I spent last week in Steamboat taking a bunch of private lessons and was able to ski many of the...

This may seem like a dumb question, but is there any real difference between a helmet geared toward skiers and one geared more toward snowboarders? I don't mean as far as safety is concerned-- I'm thinking more along the lines of are there any features that snowboarders want in a helmet that...

I just started skiing last year and was doing rental equipment. This year, I want to get my own boots. I may wait on on the skis and bindings, but definielty feel like getting a good pair of boots will be worth it to me, as I always seemed to have issues with the rentals fitting properly...

Can anyone suggest a place to go this weekend (within 3 hrs of Boston) where the conditions will likely be the most favorable for a relative begginer (ie- very well groomed). I know that Okemo is known for it's grooming, but in light of how the weather has been over the last 2 weeks with the...

Can anyone suggest a good place for lessons/good selection of green runs no further than 2-2.5 hrs from the Boston area (it would be for a day trip). I just spent several days at Tremblant doing some beginner lessons and skiing and want to go someplace this weekend to continue my progress. I was...
