Date(s) Skied: 2/8/2020 Resort or Ski Area: Burke Mountain Trip Report: Too cold to want to take pics, unfortunately. So, I had never been there before and yesterday seemed like a prime opportunity. Their $45 ticket deal for people with a pass to another mountain is a nice policy...

Date(s) Skied: 1/20/20 Resort or Ski Area: Dartmouth Skiway Conditions: Powder! Or at least what passes for it this season. Probably about 6" of fresh to start the day. Trip Report: Spent ~9-1 out there. Only the Winslow side was open. Good cover on the main snowmaking runs, skied at...

Date(s) Skied: 3/8/18 (night) Resort or Ski Area: Whaleback Mountain, NH Conditions: Powder, powder everywhere. Trip Report: So. I've night skied before, I've powder skied before, I don't think I've ever powder skied at night before. I'd also never been to Whaleback before. The...

Date(s) Skied: 2/10-2/11 Resort or Ski Area: Gore Mountain Conditions: Snow - Good, variable but little to no ice or dirt/rocks. Weather - R*in/terrible. Trip Report: Snow was actually in solid shape everywhere. Base depths weren't huge but there wasn't much poking out on the trails as...

Date(s) Skied: 1/14/16 Resort or Ski Area: Hunter Mountain Conditions: Man-made powder/man-made packed powder Trip Report: One of my best days at Hunter really. There were no bad trails. I don't think I heard even a scratchy noise until well after lunch (other than a spot where a few guns...

Date(s) Skied: 1/29 Resort or Ski Area: Plattekill Conditions: Wide runs groomed or partially groomed. Both groomed and ungroomed were soft and not icy. Trip Report: $20 lift ticket day. Got first tracks on Face, Sundown, Blockbuster and Northface. Literally had the place to myself for...

Date(s) Skied: 12/14/13 Resort or Ski Area: Hunter Mountain Trip Report: Great conditions overall, didn't harden up until the end of the day, and that was more the result of ~9F temps, not being skied off. ROTD was Heuga->Dropoff early, with HBK also being excellent early. Nice snow that...

Date(s) Skied: 12/31/12 Resort or Ski Area: Gore Mountain Conditions: Soft/Packed Powder, occasional hardpack. Trip Report: RUMOR! Opened, after having been closed my previous two days here. 3-4ft nearly untouched powder. It having been closed the previous days let it set up a bit and hid...

Date(s) Skied: 12/30/12 Resort or Ski Area: Gore Mountain Conditions: Everything from powder to solid hardpack, sometimes 5 feet apart. Trip Report: The big story today, was really wind. Anything being hit by it the wrong way (like Upper Sunway), would turn into a rock. However, anything not...

Date(s) Skied: 12/29/12 Resort or Ski Area: Gore Mountain Conditions: Powder/Packed Powder Trip Report: I think Gore is my new go-to holiday week place. Every parking lot was full, cars were parked along the entire access road, etc. On the hill? No lines, not too crowded, and Burnt...

Date(s) Skied: 12/27/12 Resort or Ski Area: Hunter Mountain Conditions: Powder/Packed Powder Trip Report: Overall, the day was fantastic. ROTD was basically anything but Belt, all depended on what conditions you were looking for. Skied everything that was open, and then some. Clairs...

Date(s) Skied: 2/11/12 Resort or Ski Area: Elk Mountain, PA Conditions: Soft MG early, stiffening up late Trip Report: Everything except Lehigh and Upper Seneca was open. Good conditions on everything, no hardpack or ice to be found anywhere. Lines at the front doubles peaked at around...

Not an improvement, now forecasting "not as cold" http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/accuweathercom-20112012-winter-1/58451

I'm in Binghamton, and I happen to have seen a sinkhole open up while driving today, and things are already flooding. Another 4" of rain coming tonight, and NOAA just raised our flood forecasts to breaking/at the all time flood records from 2006...

First off, the new 6-pack is great (needs a wind fence at the top though) and something about the lodge feels "nicer-looking" than last year. New map is an abomination that should be burned. Speaking of burned, it was entertaining to watch the snowmakers have to bring a big load of wood up to...

I'm currently using a pair of Rossignol Bandit BX's from 04-05, and I love them, but they're starting to get pretty high on the day count, so I'm starting to look for replacements. They're 170's, with dimensions of 109-70-99. I'm looking for something similar. Any suggestions?

Weather: Sunnyish and upper 30s on 3/27 and 3/28......and nearly 3ft of powder between the night of 3/28 and the night of 3/29. :snow: Report: It was my first time to Whistler, and we got a great deal on a house a minute from Creekside (w/ski out access). I'll start with the bad: - Gas is...

Date(s) Skied: 1/8/10 Resort or Ski Area: Blue Mountain, PA Conditions: Soft with an inch or two of fluff on top from the weather, getting more hardpacked around 3PM. Trip Report: Skied 9:30 - 4PM, excellent conditions by Blue Mtn standards (which would be "eh...not bad, not great"...

So, I'm not one that typically skis too much over the holidays, but due to the way things are working out this year, it looks like the all but Christmas is open for me to ski (24th, 31st, 1st). In general, what are crowds like/when do they show up and leave on those days? (or are there none?)

Lets start off with the bad...White Cloud sucked. Summit thermometer read 0F at noon and dropped from there, and the peak was incredibly windy, and I forgot my camera, so no pics. Now that that's out of the way: Conditions were INCREDIBLE. Tons of snow everywhere, Dropoff, shockingly...wins...
