    Big Sky, 3/5-3/7

    Date Skied: 3/4/15-3/7/15 Conditions: Relatively firm. Trip Report: It's been awhile since I've posted anything on here, but I finally managed to ski somewhere other than Sunapee ;-). Had an opportunity to head out to Big Sky for a quick few days and participate in one of Dan Egan's...

    Belated Magic TR 12-27-12

    Figured I would throw up something from 12/27. Nick and Reefer already described the conditions. It was good! 56419964 It has to be tough for patrol at an area like Magic, where rope-ducking is almost the norm. I was "busted", but allowed to keep my ticket. I felt bad for puting him in...

    PSA: Skiuniverse

    http://skiuniverse.com/ Someone mentioned this site over on TGR. Super cheap prices on goggles, gloves, helmets and poles. Picked up some 2010 Scott A12 composite poles for $9.90. Retail for $140?

    S.t.a.b. 5-5-12

    Some great trails. If your sense of direction stinks like mine, don't go without a map :-). http://www.stabvt.org/ I was riding slow and sloppy, but managed to stay upright. 41627618

    Superstar 4-14

    Can't call it a Killington TR, as I only hit Superstar. Showed up at noon and had to park waaaaay out at the end of the lot. Never more than a 2 or 3 minute lift line though. Good indication that people will still pay to ski. Lots of bump skiers out there. Ran into Mondeo. Saw the...

    Elan Bloodline

    Worthless information ahead..... Elan Bloodline at 181cm, 90/64/80 compared to the Dynastar Twister at 182cm, 98/66/85. They have horses on them. Much "thicker" than the Twister and quite a bit more camber. From the Elan website: "these marvels will pass between different bumps or moguls"...

    Sunapee 3-8

    Managed to get out for a couple hours today. Beautiful day until the clouds rolled in at three. Think it warmed up a little too fast. Snow was funky. Pole plants would bust through if you planted with any aggression. Pretty sad that I was still beat from my 1 hour at Sundown yesterday :oops:.

    Magic/Sunapee 3-3

    Interesting day for sure. Worried about wind holds to the north, I decided on Magic. Raining and 32 when I got there. Few hours later it was blue sky and warm sun. Snow was heavy, but that seemed to help cover the rocks. Black Magic to Black Line was fun. A weed whacker would have been...

    Sunapee 3-1

    Wanted to ski some of the fresh snow, but had to stay close to home. Spent a fun 90 minutes on Flying Goose. Zero natural base before the snow today, so the woods were still off limits. Exposed tops of the bumps were blue ice, but once the new stuff got pushed around they were pretty...

    Mt. Sunapee 1-31

    Date(s) Skied: 1/31 Resort or Ski Area: Sunapee Conditions: Deep. Trip Report: Tuesday is winter activities day so I went up for a couple hours with the Middle School. Groomers actually skied very well, but who cares about that business. Sunapee is rapidly overtaking Sundown as the...

    Sunapee Bumps?

    From the website today: Today we received 7” of new snow. Just in time for MLK weekend. We expect to have at least 41 trails open this weekend. Of the bigger resorts in New England Mount Sunapee has one of the highest percentages of total terrain open. 85% of our snowmaking terrain will be open...

    Pinnacle 12-6

    December 6th and I'm still posting lame MTB TRs. WTF?! 33247734 58 degrees and a little damp. Roots and rocks were scary slippery.

    Killington 11-28

    Holy s**t! Based on the 11/26 and 11/27 TRs, I would say things have deteriorated. At least there weren't any crowds to get in the way of the 6" airs and sweet zipper lines :razz:. 32814338
