    Teleboard at MRG: Possible?

    Hey! I'm a boarder... and telemarker... and sometimes (read once every few season), i'm a skier as well. I've never been to MRG because they don't allow single-plank-sideways-mode of alpine sport that i enjoy the most. Now here's a geeky question: would they allow a tele-board to ride the...

    Super rocker skis = New snowblades?

    We've talked about this on the lifts... you see kids coming down the hill with both tips wiggling on corduroy... They have these "badass" 130mm waist skis... but there is no pow... The rockers are so awsome that 2in apart from the bindings, the skis don't touch the snow anymore... They're easy...

    If there were no snowmaking?

    Following JD's thread... Would you ski knowing that you would need to drive a lot more... Skiing would be less convenient and accessible to most... Would you still hit the slopes?

    Beer cycling jersey?

    I've been to a bunch of company website and was amazed at how many micro-brewries are offering cycling jersey... Do you own one? If you could get any jersey made out, for which beer would it be? For me, Dogfish Head as a pretty nice jersey! It's very retro... looks like a kitchen wall from the...

    One great weekend on and around the mountain! Great snow... not enough yet to call the backcountry season open because stuff lies around all over the place... Riding slowly is crucial! On the mountain it's a different story... A bunch of trails are open with only natural snow... Close to 20...

    TR :: Jay Peak - 15-16th Nov 08 - Pre-season turning again
