A little trivia time: What are some lifts where you get off and there are only diamond/double diamond trails to choose from? No greens or blues at least to start with. Ones that come to mind: -Castlerock at Sugarbush -Grouse Mountain at Beaver Creek -Edelweiss at Alpental -Jupiter, 9900...

Van Cortland Park (north Bronx, technically NYC) to Stewart's in North Creek. 2:45 minutes. What you got? St. Jerry

Trail count has been stuck at 35-36 for over a week. I think in that same time killington's trail count has doubled. Have they just given up on this year??

that is all. carry on

See you all at Platty tomorrow.

Somehow in my skiing career I have never been to the mighty P-kill. That will all change tomorrow. So, what does this first-timer need to know? thanks!

So was talking with a local and they believe that the 100 sq miles of flat land to the east of the mountain creates a wind vortex that gets further compounded as it hits the mountain and funnels in the area between Little Whiteface and the Summit.

Base lodges that take you back to the 70s or earlier as they probably have not seen a new coat of paint since then: What comes to mind: MRG (of course) Gore (circa 1965) Powder Mountain, UT (probably dunzo in a year or two with the new owners) Pico (love the giant fireplace) Spruce at...

Coming for 2014/2015....Welcome Adirondack Express II! We are excited to be replacing our Adirondack Express triple with a new high-speed detachable quad. The new lift will offer guests a smoother, faster, and more reliable ride out of our Base Area, and the new unloading zone near the Saddle...

Guesses? I'm going with HSQ to replace triple and fixed grip triple or quad to replace High Peaks lift.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkJGOviNZAM&feature=youtu.be Not sure this video gives it justice as the first cliff is a lot higher than it looks here.

Located under the High Peaks chair right before the lift passes over the Open Pit trail. Straightline (straight-on from the top op Open pit, not the side cut-in) the 10 foot cliff then land on a patch of snow, immediatly followed by 5 foot cliff. Then a slight turn to avoid the trees and...

Was having this debate with the wife yesterday driving back from skiing. i'm going with Hickory becuase it's looking to be a cold winter. However, as my wife pointed out that also works in the favor of the Slides. So our over-under for Hickory is 14 days open vs. 8 for the Slides. But it...

Mamma always said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. So that is all

So my wife was complaining about how long it takes to get to Gore from NYC (nearly) every weekend. With no stops or traffic it's about 3:45. Throw in stops and traffic and it can be up to 6 hours. I told her that a lot of people spend more time than we do to get to skiing every weekend and of...

All the unfortunate deaths got me thinking about this morbid topic. The trail that comes to mind is Pine Knot at Gore. It's always icy (boiler plate in spots), crowded, narrow, and probably should be a black diamond rather than a blue.

Besides Killington?

Ones that come to mind: Gore: Burnt Ridge Quad, Top Ridge Triple. Pico: Little Pico Triple Killington: Sunrise Village Triple, Northbrook Quad.

Probably been discussed before, but let's start anew. I.M.O: Best: MRG (funky New England atmosphere) Whitetail, PA (comfy couches next to the starbucks, always room upstairs next to the fireplaces) Worst: Gore. (like a large bomb shelter) Bolton Valley (pretty run down) then again, the...

Have 2. PM me if interested.
