Not sure if this is allowed, if not, mods feel free to delete. I don't think I posted this before. (I hope not). I've been working on NYSKiBlog for about ten years, trying to connect with like-minded skiers. Through persistence we have built our audience. Last spring, we came up with an idea...

I don't think I saw another TR on Snow Ridge from Sunday. There were AZers in the house for sure. I think I saw Cornhead. Scotty was missed. Great day to ski, great snow, the lifts ran on time and all day. Long haul for me and I had to trade my wife something big for the weekend. We now...

AZ Twitter hacked? Nick ... didn't know if you knew... been following AZ's Twitter for about a week and I'm seeing ads for Cialis and other meds...

Got an email from Gore yesterday ... they are done for the season. Not a big surprise. Currently with ORDA/NY State potential budget issues, next season looks to be a bit up in the air at Gore. I'm pretty confident that things will work out ok. From a poll posted on SkiAdk, it looks like...

Great weekend of spring skiing at Gore. My ratio of groomers to trees was higher than expected, as temps didn't really warm that much up top. Upper 30s (a guess) wasn't enough to get the trees as soft as the groomers until later in the day. We actually focused on lower mtn trees (Twister...

Hey I skied Gore this weekend. Saturday, Gore skied like late December .... firm mostly, but good under the guns. They were blowing on Rumor, Open Pit and Lower Steilhang. If you don't mind lapping the same trail over and over (I don't) today was really nice. I think I did 12 laps on Rumor...

Hope I'm not jinxing anything. I've never actually started a thread like this. If there was every any doubt that the NWS weather nerds LIVE for winter storms, take a look at the forecast discussion out of Albany this morning. Focus on long term at the bottom...

Date Skied: 1/16/10 Resort or Ski Area: Belleayre Mountain Conditions: Hardpack, Loose Granular, Packed Powder I had a chance to ski Belleayre as part of the MLK Press Event. In many ways Bell was exactly what imagined, based on what I'd read on AZ and other forums. A small mountain with...

Big improvement in all conditions since last week. Lies has been hammered with 2 days of continuous snowmaking. It was again primo all day. By late morning we went into the trees, and didn't come out until 3:30. Trees have been very good the last two days, especially when you consider we've...

I skied Whiteface today. IMO they've done a pretty good job recovering from the carnage from Weds. Just one run and it's not T2B....but it must be 1500 of vert. (Excelsior>Upper Valley). It was enough for me: http://harvey44.blogspot.com/2009/12/whiteface-126.html * * * I was also at Gore...

I’ve got an old Sony that served pretty well, but has definitely taken some punishment, and I can’t rely on it any more. I want to replace it, but am somewhat clueless about what to buy. Basically, I use my camera for my ski blog, so lots of megapixels aren’t really that important. I usually...
