I went to Mountain Creek this morning. I was in line for the gondola about 10 minutes before it opened so I got probably the 5th or 6th chair. About 3" to 4" of powder had fallen during the couple of hours before I got there so I skied fresh tracks for the first couple of runs, it was...

I went to Mountain Creek this morning, arrived at 7:45 for the 8 AM opening for passholders. The snow was packed powder and the conditions were the best I've skied there this season. Last Monday we got only about an inch and a half of snow but it has been consistently cold all week with great...

I took my 11 year old daughter to Big Snow on Wednesday evening. The tickets were $35 each for a 2 hour block, which is about all you need since you're just going to lap the same couple trails. It was definitely nice to get in some skiing when there is no skiing outdoors. After check in and...

The slopeside hotel at Bromley is going to be on Hotel Impossible on the Travel Channel on Monday night at 10:00. I've never watched Hotel Impossible before but it looks like it's a show where some hotel expert comes and helps renovate the hotel. I stay at the Bromley Sun Lodge every March...
