    Boot Flex

    I'm considering some new boots. I live in the Flatlands so this will be an web purchase. I'm considering flex in the range between 100-120. I guess I'm an advanced-intermediant skier. My glory days may behind me, but I do enjoy sking Black Diamonds. I have attempted Double Blacks, but at that...

    Minus Zero at Mt. Snow

    Curious what the Mt Snow regulars think of this. Apparently there's a 3 day event wrapping up today. Billed as a Winter Enthusiasts music and arts event. Unclear if there are any on snow events. Sounds like 3 stages of EDM acts I've never heard of. Not that that's my scene anyway, but I used...

    Tread to kill Interstate Battery thread

    Not sure if this is an issue on the full site, but from my mobile platform it's become annoying. Maybe it's an add but it seems like spam, and it's ALWAYS the second thread in timeline. I've only clicked on it once(or twice :-( ) but it takes you away from .AZ to there site to buy batteries...

    Tragedy on Everest

    I know this is primarily a New England forum, but I'm surprised the tragedy on Mt. Everest has not been discussed. If the mods think this should be discussed in another category, by all means please move it. I just think it would get more traction here. I guess since the goal is to reach the...

    Swix add tab

    So I finally got some good poles after years of using mismatched, dented, bent, used & abused poles. Santa brought me some Swix Vipers. They seem light & well balanced. They even came with fancy powder baskets in addition to the regular smaller ones. The handle has some odd feature they call the...

    Handlebar question

    I would like to be more comfortable on my "other" bike. Its a Pacifica with no suspension witch is fine. The thing I would like to change is the handlebar height, to more of a BMX style. I guess this is not a popular "fix" but it's what I want to do. I have another bike with a full suspension &...

    Sugarbush 3/8-11

    Howdy. My brother has arranged for a gathering of a few old/new friends. We are a group of mixed abilities, but including myself 4/5 will be seeking out freshies in the forests ;-) One guy has requested some lessons, so he may be on his own... Also keeping an eye to the sky, fingers crossed &...

    K2 ext

    So last week while perusing my local Sports Authority I saw a pair of skis leftover from last season marked down to $99.95 On first glance I assumed they were K2 Extremes. I decided not to get them at the time but thought about that bargain all week. So yesterday I grabbed some cash from under...

    The Carpooling Thread

    So...I live on Long Island and that makes getting to "the hill" that much more of a challenge. Apparently there are a few regular posters from the Island(that includes Brooklyn), the city, Northern Jersey and other places along the route. Recently my two most reliable cohorts(my brothers)...

    Recent Storm Accumulation Totals

    So a quick search for a thread discussing storm accumulation totals yielded nothing. Being stuck here in the flatlands is painful enough. Knowing it is snowing where it counts is some solace. I'm thinking a thread discussing storm totals would be convenient when trying to decide where to go. So...

    Snowmaking Improvements @ Gore

    According to my sources Gore has purchased something like 130 new snowguns..? Seeing as how they draw water from the Hudson, I guess they have enuf supply, but do they have the inferstructer to deliver all that water to all those new guns? From what I read no new pumps have been purchased... Or...
