    JB is skiing Pico this Friday! (3/7/2014)

    The combination of having a baby and taking a lower paying job with less stress is that I've had less opportunity to ski. Now my child is 3 and he's been 3x this season! He had a wonderful lesson at Berkshire East 1 1/2 weeks ago. That's a bit of context. I'm taking this Friday off and working...

    [Westborough, MA] Was Ski & Golf Outlet, now Ski Barn

    Last night I tried to drive to the Ski & Golf Outlet which has apparently moved to a big barn closer east in town. My wife says she got ice cream here a while back. We drove to the barn but it was closed. The only sign of Ski Barn was the sign, "Ski Barn." Otherwise, just the ice cream/pumpkim...

    A little score from Wachusett's Ski Swap

    I just upgraded my skis after 10 or so years. I picked up some new leftovers, Elan M10. 176 cm. I'm 6"3 185 lbs. Any opinion of these skis? Are they about 8 years old? Thanks! They were $70 plus tax.

    Franconia Notch area inn suggestions for couple

    My wife and I would like to get up to the area in late September 2010 and visit the Cannon tramway, Lost River, and the Flume Gorge. Also, it will be our wedding anniversary weekend. Any suggestions on places to stay with value and cleanliness being the top 2 considerations? I could spend up to...

    Quick link to a Springfield Ski Club, Blandford, MA visit

    http://www.joshuab.org/2010/07/04/a-visit-to-blandford-mas-springfield-ski-club/ Sorry I don't post more. Life has pulled me in different directions. Also, I no longer have a job where I can enjoy personal time online. :-)

    Where should I ski Sat. Dec. 12 in NH?

    I'll need an excellent beginner area for my wife who still fears anything steeper than gentle trails and slopes. She does wonderfully at Pats Peak's Valley area. Ragged's Barnyard is nice. On Friday night, we're staying overnight in Henniker. I'm sure it's too early to call and we'll just have...

    Berkshire East update - Saturday, January 24, 2009

    I haven't been reading the forum much, so I apologize if this has already been said, but Berkshire East has great quality new wooden ski racks. Also, the West Lodge is serving hot food Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays. It was very cold due to the wind. Tough to keep the groomed packed...

    Did Whaleback or Tenney ever get their doubles running last season?

    Was either hill finally able to get these back into operation?

    Crotched on NH Chronicle last week

    Nice piece on Crotched last week. One of the mountain reps was talking about the old Crotched East and said that he's not saying they're going to reopen it, but you never know what might happen. It's there. It was actually the biggest clue I've seen to date from an official Crotched person. I...

    King Ridge on NH Chronicle 01/08

    Very nice piece on skiing at King Ridge with interviews by long time employees. Then Fritz Weatherbee recalled a bunch of old rope tow areas and Temple that he remembered skiing at. Did anyone else see this?

    Any word on Tenney's 2007/2008 ski season?

    Forgive me if this has been discussed before. I searched but didn't see a recent specific Tenney topic.

    Bromley Friday April 6

    Yay! I'm taking a day off to ski Bromley tomorrow. $25. I just called them and they plan on 30 trails and the quad (top-to-bottom lift). I haven't been there since I was probably 6 or 7 and only half a trail was open. I'm looking forward to it! It will only be ski day #6 for me this season.

    Tenney will not open this season
