Sugarbush was sublime the morning of 2/8. Run of the day was fluffy bumps on Spillisville. Also loved Middle Earth, though decided the Castlerock line was too long to merit a repeat. Paradise was fun (maybe my favorite SB terrain), but some exposed rocks in the usual places. Took a couple of...

It's been a little while since I've skied in a wire-to-wire snowstorm. Such fun! The wind and new snow were filling in tracks all day. The snow was dense, but not wet; perfect for covering the firm base. I few windblown areas, but also deep wind-sculpted drifts to play in. The afternoon...

Hi all, I'm considering breaking into the AT world. Nothing too sophisticated at first. I'm anticipating an occasional morning climb at Pico or Ascutney, perhaps. For starters at least, I'm thinking a frame binding makes the most sense. My boots are Dalbello Krypton AX 110 IDs. They don't...

Thought I’d add one more Copper Mountain trip report. For our family of four, it was outstanding. We stayed in Center Village and found the price of our walk-to-lift accommodations very reasonable. Copper sometimes gets dinged for not having a thriving town, but for us it was perfect. Our...

Anyone know if either Mount Snow or Stratton have any areas that are bumped up for the last couple of spring weekends? My sense from the trail reports is that they are grooming everything out, presumably because of low base depths. How about Killington? Thanks for any intel.

Date(s) Skied: 1-30-16 Resort or Ski Area: Mount Snow Conditions: Some man-made PP, mostly hardpack Trip Report: The conditions were not memorable, but still a fun day of skiing. Despite just a typical weekend crowd, the trails were pretty congested due to a relatively low trail count...

Great day at Mount Snow today. It may have been the best day so far of an amazing season. They reported 9" in the past day or so, and it just skied so soft all day long. I was finding untracked lines all over the North Face and in the woods even up to 4PM. The North Face seemed to be highly...

Date(s) Skied: 3/6/14 Resort or Ski Area: Stratton Conditions: Mostly firm PP Trip Report: Stratton skied quite well yesterday. Firm and fast for the most part, but generally softer than true hardpack and very little ice. Moguls were fun, but required a fair amount of attention and...
