Maybe not skiing / boarding related, but it's still snow-related, so I'll give this a shot. Friends of mine located in Central Massachusetts want to try out snow-mobiling and asked me for recommendations of places to go that rent snow-mobiles, provide tours, etc. Any recommendations? This is...

Spent the morning of Nov. 23rd at Stowe for my first day back on snow. there is no snow to speak of until you pass the Matterhorn bar and start up the hill; there's a substantial amount of snow on the hill, although certainly not enough left to go off an open trail. (And probably nothing...

I was at Cannon, NH today. They had some signs up in the base lodge saying that the haul cable on the express quad will be replaced / re-spliced on the 14th and 15th. So obviously that chair won't be running those days, meaning the only way up the mountain will be the tram.

Did anybody else get stuck when I-93 got closed for about 1.5 hours on New Year's Day? I had skied Cannon for a few hours in the morning ,and then the snow started falling earlier (and much harder) then I expected, so I decided to try to get home. Somewhere between exits 24 and 23 (just south...
