I’m not partaking on this weekends feast. Shame on me. (Many reasons) But I want to hear from everyone who’s braving the condition to get up there how good it is. (Ok, maybe you’re too busy taking in the goods and didn’t bother to stop to take pictures. Just tell us how good it is. On a poor...

Sugarbush is warning of wind hold on the higher lifts. Bolton had stopped all the high lifts. Stowe is down to just 4 lifts running.:( On the plus side, all the new snow on the uppper mountains will stay till tomorrow.:)

Which is the better route to get from Sugarbush to Middlebury? (The village, not the ski mountain) Google suggest it‘s similar time going over on Rt 17 vs Rt 125. But I seem to recall Rt 17 is quite steep and twisty. Can’t remember what Rt 125 is like. But I think it’s at a lower elevation. How...

I wish my spring break was this week. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. So I didn’t luck out with the powder from this storm. Well, such is life… Reading all the glorious reports of one of the better week of the season, I was hoping it’ll last for more than just a week. With the amount of snow...

I‘m taking a university course this semester. So I didn’t buy any season pass. Figuring I won’t have much spare time, I don’t relish the long drive north to ski. Never mind any trip out west But having been out of the education system for a while, I forgot there’s such a thing call “spring...

Between dry spells, less than 60% open terrain, and sub-zero temperatures, and with reports of hideous long lift lines, I held off the start of my downhill season. Instead just enjoying the coastal storms in the woods of the flatland on my cross country skis. (mind you, it's a rather fantastic...

Friend made a big booboo. Forgot to bring her own skis! (Put her kid’s ski in the car by mistake) We’re skiing Okemo tomorrow (Monday). She’s not too fussy about the quality of her skis (intermediate skier). Just need something that will slide (she did bring her own boot). Obviously she...

In the past, I've use the "5 day forecast" map as a graphic way to see how a weather front moves from west to east. In the summer, that would show the front as pattern of rain (snow in the winter) moving from west to east. So one can get an idea which day a front/storm will hit a region of...

For those who may want to go skiing in Canada this winter. I thought some may find the actual experience of visiting Canada helpful? After the US-Canada land border opening, I wanted to go to New Brunswick and Nova Scottia for there're some wicked good sea kayaking along the Atlantic coast...

On the account page, there's a tab to enter a Signature. Is it working? (or supposed to be working?) I didn't see anyone else have signature of their post. And when I typed something in my signature, it doesn't show up in my post either.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/27/world/asia/gulmarg-kashmir-himalaya-skiing.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage It’s not just here we have seen a huge increase in skiing participation. India ski resorts are seeing 10x more visitors!

No, it’s not a joke. Nor some rhetorical statement. This was for real. Back in February and March of last year, I was seeing a physical therapist for a shoulder issue once a week. Although I knew about the virus in China, like everyone else, I didn’t believe it could be in our mix already...

... and plan to use it in the spring? A few passes had come out, with spring benefits. Will some of the people who skipped the 20/21 season jump on it? Especially those who're expected to get vaccinated soon and have a good chance of using it in the spring? Or are some people really pissed by...

Now that the latest storm finally got Hunter west fully open, I'm starting to think about going... Hopefully the line of the west side isn't too bad? I've seen people mentioned earlier the north parking was relatively less crowded and the north lift have much shorter lines too. Any first...

No, not the presidential inauguration. Just my inauguration of 20/21 (lift_served downhill) season! I’ve been skiing since December. But not in downhill ski resorts. A bunch in nordic centers, and a couple back country when we had the pre-Christmas storm. So today is the first day in resorts...

There’s a Mount Snow intel thread going which is really helpful (for me). Anyone at Okemo lately (this week)? How’s the wait on various lifts? Where to park for the least amount of walking (in ski boots:( ) while still avoid riding the shuttle?

The whole point of "preview" is to see what you've typed looks like. If I don't like it, I can change it... But... Unless I'm missing some button on the preview screen, I can't seem to be able to change my post after the preview. My only option is to delete the whole thing by hitting "Cancel"...

Today, I casually click on Stowe's base area cam... and it's "Off Line"!!! Now, add that to all the other mountains whose base area web cam are pretty much never working, but just starting this season. This can't just be coincidence! So the mountains really don't want us to know what the true...

Still 5 days out, but the total kept going up. The least I could do is get the snow tires put on! Maybe I'll get to cross country ski out my door? ;) Or maybe I NEED my xc skis to get out???

What's the "correct" way to do quotes? Seems if I backspace in my post OVER the quotes, my typing become part of the quotes! I've used other forums in the same "family" but this is the first time I run into this problem. Is that a setup options for the site? Multi-quotes: Sometimes, one...
