I'll second the Adorama. We rented an amazing zoom lens when we went to Africa, and they were incredibly helpful. And I also just bought this mountable tripod from B&H: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&sku=684943&AID=10661106&PID=3176261&is=REG&A=details&Q= For...

They were blowing on two runs on Sunday, one on each side of the mountain. Seems like they're taking full advantage of this snowmaking window.

I will be there in one week--woot!

I was there yesterday afternoon for a few hours. Fun little hill. Makes great use of the 1000ft of vert--consistent pitch, no runout, good trail layout and variety. Surprisingly good snow conditions throughout the day. Relatively few people on the slopes, except for some packs of racer kids...

Tamarack in Idaho opened in 2004 and has closed (due to bankruptcy) and (partially) reopened since then.

Thanks--I'd appreciate that. Southern PA got a few inches yesterday (Whitetail reporting three inches, for example), but it looks like the storm stayed pretty far south.

Ooh, but at Sno on Sunday I can win a salami by matching two NASTAR times. I'm not joking.

Thanks. I think Elk or Blue are the most likely. Elk is the only place I've wanted to try among that list (I've driven past the exit numerous times between here and the inlaws in Syracuse), but it's obviously the longest detour. And I guess at Blue there's always a chance of seeing GSS. ;) I...

Bumping this thread, with the same question for this weekend. I'll be driving back to DC from NY and looking to get a few quick runs in on Sunday afternoon. Top priority would be somewhere with at least one bump run. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Might swing through on Sunday.

How was it? Driving back from NY to DC on Sunday, and I was thinking of swinging by somewhere in PA for a few hours. Need to get another day or two in before heading to Chamonix. :D

I still got 'em, but my bike's from 2003.

Truth. Beautiful photos.

We must be really, really far from ski season.

I have no idea how much it would impact the ski industry, but maybe higher gas prices would be good for us: http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/06/obesity-and-driving?fsrc=scn/tw/te/dc/roadhogs

New York could potentially enter into a license and operating agreement with a private operator and sidestep the lease/sale prohibition in the constitution.

REI's in-house line Novarro has some cheap and decent hybrids bikes, as does Marin, but you're still a good $100 below the entry-level price point. If you're short enough, this wouldn't be a bad option (assuming its actually in OK condition): http://burlington.craigslist.org/bik/2429870622.html...

Prescription drugs sold in Canada are usually manufactured in the same facilities (and using the same ingredient sources) as prescription drugs sold in the United States. For each branded drug, the profits go to the same drug company regardless of where you buy the drug (although profits are...

Call me crazy, but I think Jiminy has good terrain (for the location) that they have chosen to build wide straight runs that they groom to oblivion. Bromley's the opposite: somewhat lacking in the natural endowments but they embrace bumps, trees, and other interesting terrain features. I like...
