This has always perplexed me so I went poking around on Google Earth tonight to see what the actual elevation and vertical are. They claim their vertical is 1180'. In actuality the summit chair vertical is 920'. Maybe if you ski to the bottom of the carpet? No, that only adds 25 feet. Maybe if...

Info Former Jay Peak employees have filed a grievance over being fired for partaking in protected activities. Good start to the Pacific regime.

Been stupid busy with work and a new house since about mid February which has totally destroyed my ski season, but I was able to sneak away for a few hours today and at least get one good spring day in. Or shall I say, a summer day at Killington's white sand beaches. Temps pushed 80 and skies...

With the recent purchase of a new house, too much time at work, and the overall lack of winter weather, February almost went by the wayside for me. I planned on Killington today, but with the storm being a total bust I decided to stay home. For some reason, around 10 am I decided to remember...

1/23: Sunday River Drove up through the meat of todays storm, finally arriving at SR around 12:45. Wasn't intending to ski a full day anyway, but definitely had hoped for more than 3 hours. Parked at White Cap and started my way across as I figured the snow would be better at the higher...

Typical morning of me turning off my alarm instead of hitting snooze had me heading up late, but finally got on skis shortly before 11. I was surprised to see the lots very full when I arrived, ended up having to park in the Vale lot, which is mostly fine as it's as short of a walk as you can...

Intended on leaving home at 6 and rolling in at 8:15, but realized when I stopped at Dunk's after 10 minutes of driving that I forgot my wallet at home (which still had my Ikon Pass in it because I hadn't used it yet) so had to turn around for that. Roads were fine once I was in Vermont but got...

Have a rare Saturday off and obviously going to take advantage. Thinking this storm might jackpot Stratton/Mt Snow if things stay the same. If Stratton gets over 12" do their low angle woods come into play? I know they don't officially open/close their glades so I feel like that might be the...

Originally planned on opening the season at Windham yesterday, but with Wachusett announcing their opening was moved up I decided to just wait one more day. Bought a session 2 ticket because they're apparently still doing that shit 2 seasons later and clicked in right at 12:30 on a sunny 40...

Started on the bubble at the opening bell in some light rain and soupy fog. Ran through Chute, East Fall, and Cascade on the buttery corduroy but definitely some water flows to ski through as well from last night's rain. Moved over to Bear where the sun was out and it felt like another planet...

I've seen different reports from the various resorts about the latest of booting up in the lodge and bag storage in the lodge. I still see some snow reports that say "boot up at your car" or "you can boot up inside but all bag storage is outside or bring it back to your car (Cannon)". And then...

Kinda got a bad night's sleep (room is right across from the f*cking elevator) and so got a late start and wasnt on skis till about 10:15. Snowed lightly the whole way up which set the mood for a great day. Started with a few off the Bonnie, beginning with Can-Am which was still loaded with...

Arrived a little before 5:30 with about 2-3" already down and the snow stayed steady just about through when I left at 8:30. First time night skiing in a couple years and the nostalgia came rolling back. The school groups are mostly done so no more than a 10 chair wait all night, but still a...

I'm storm chasing for the first time this season. Time to finally get day 3 and 4 and 5 and beyond. I'm out of shape as f*ck and now that this thread exists it will be all rain everywhere, but let's go. Storm looks to bomb out as it moves east, but best dynamics for a solid snowfall might be...

https://www.stormskiing.com/p/ikon-pass-adds-snowbasin-sun-valley?s=w Biggest news is Sun Valley, Chamonix and Snowbasin leaving Epic for Ikon and that Alta (but not Snowbird) and Deer Valley are no longer on Ikon Base. Prices up $80 for the unlimited over this year's prices.

It's been a long shitty winter for me. No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth with my reports, today really was day 2 for me. I wanted to get up to Sunday River as they did much better with the Monday system, but with limited time I ended up settling on Loon. Not much of a crowd today...

Finally got day #1 out of the way today as the past 6 weeks have been full of illness (Covid negative, but definitely the worst flu I've had in over 10 years and the lingering general shittyness from that lasted for a couple weeks), work (I work for the Post Office, these last two Decembers have...

Going to Vegas in mid January. Thinking about renting a car and driving up to Mammoth for a couple days. Looks like a 5 hour ride. Do I need an SUV for that ride or is it possible to,get there with a car in the winter? Also, i know nothing about the resort so please learn me about it!

Tuesday report: Snowbird and Alta First day out for the trip was quite frankly the lousiest day I've skied this year. Unfortunately the recent warmth and sun was replaced by clouds and much colder temps, rendering the ungroomed terrain unskiable and the groomers sporty at best. I actually ended...

The new Polar Express Tram will wisk 100 riders to the summit every 5 minutes.
