No thread since 2021. Time to start a new one as we are on the eve of the season. Looking forward to long lazy days in the cove and evenings at the Tiki Bar and restaurants around the lake (and some water skiing)

Two week western trip March 16th - 31st. Day 1: TSA equipment malfunction delays flight (something with baggage scanning) 1 1/2 hours, but we get up and out of Newark. Beautiful view of Lake Hopatcong off the port side of the aircraft. Arrived in Denver, lunched with old family friend...

Interesting take on our sport. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2023/03/08/letter-editor-park-skiing/ My son is into it. A lot of talented kids. I have no problem with it . Does take away some terrain at places like my home mountain here in Pa but that's about the only downside I see to it.

Guess we can start it, my boats in the water. Lake's full and its was a fast transition to the warm weather season (skied out west last weekend). Alex Lake Hopatcong, NJ

Just got back from the annual spring trip to the Rockies. Great snow, great weather and most of all great times with the family, but a lesson learned. That lesson was, that at plus double nickles, 7 straight days on snow took away some of the enjoyment that I had last season when other...

Don't know if someone started one yet, if so mods can merge. And let me add I hope it is short thread Hooked a tip yesterday on Rocket at Camelback and "pitch poled" my self down on top of my shoulder onto a fairly hard surface. Had it checked out by ski patrol and thankfully noting seems...

Been really starting to get excited about the up coming season (maybe more so then usual after last year) but have remained busy through out the fall and kept up my dry land training. Thought about starting this thread as I had plenty of "ski" thinking time while cleaning up the annual leaf...

Holy crap. What a nightmare this is going to be. The old span is a little shaky as it is, now being smacked by a crane.:-o Man I am sure glad I have no plans over that way this year. Imaging trying to get from NYC to the Catskills on a summer Friday night. Crossing in NYC is going to be...

Playing slightly off the drop in skier visits this season, the stat I would be interested in seeing (and I don't know if it could be figured out) is the percentage of injuries incurred in a season such as this past one compared to say last season with a lot of snow. Some people (probably some...

50/50 day at Copper today. Typical spring day in that the morning featured hard surfaces and fast Colorado Cruisers, from 11:30-12:00 on softening snow bumps and trees. It has been quite some time since I had been to Copper (mid 80's maybe) and I certainly forgotten how nice a place it is (not...

Really nice day at the Basin today. Cold front came thru Tuesday afternoon and dropped 3-4 inches of new snow moved around by the wind in the open areas but where it was settled it was a lot of fun. Really the biggest thing was what it was covering. Where the underneath was smooth it was...

Anyone that knows Utah knows the most unforgiving mountain hands down is Snowbird. With that in mind we gave in to the boys wishes and went to Snowbird on Monday. The wife was on her 6th day, plus the lack of ski conditioning on the part of either of us and 2 days of pretty heavy snow it was...

Day 2 at Solitude. Beautiful warm spring weather effectively taking most low traffic areas out of play (manky stuff) but great on the groomers and bumps Started on Eagle with such steep groomers as Challanger and Serenity. Moved over through the middle taking Apex and the new summit lift. The...

Pretty ominous start to our trip as just as we were leaving the gate at JFK here came the rains which shut down the airport. 6 hours later we took off putting us in SLC at the wonderful hour of 3 am and a short night of sleep. Looks like spring decided to arrive with me as I missed the storm...

Found some really good ones today 8) Cliffhanger bumped 90% top to bottom. Even trying seasons have good days and today was awesome at Camelback. Alex Lake Hopatcong, NJ

Our son is one year removed from the program, but Camelback announced last week that it was terminating all racing programs effective next year. I'm pretty stunned by this move as the program from development - U21 was well attended and not cheap. The race team seemed an integral part of the...

Ok so Dartmouth Skiway's was not on the itinerary for this weekend so I need to fill in the background. My wife and I left NNJ about 8 Friday night to meet up with our son who has spring break this week. Drove to Concord NH. Made good time and bedded down for the night. Up early Sat...

After a fun day at Burke with the boy, my wife and I drove up to Stowe on Sunday. Had been a long time since either of us had been there and never before together. Without the boy it was basically a day of groomers but Stowe has plenty of those and my legs were letting me know about the...

My first trip to Burke. Picked up the boy at PSU and drove north on 93 past Cannon (hard not to stop there as it looked great) up to Burke. What can I say, I like, I Like, I like. Sunny, clear, beautiful but cold. The snow was fantastic, the crowds non exisitent. Worked all the groomers...
