    First Trip to Plattekill - March 21st

    I felt the same way during my 1st trip to Platty a year ago. The Lodge vibe was great right down to the guy playing the bag pipes on the deck!

    P-Tex

    Not to hijack the thread, but since we are discussing ski tuning I've always wondered, when scraping wax before brushing, how much do you scrape off? Till you don't get anymore?

    First Time Skiing

    Excellent! This is what it's all about - passing down a good family sport from generation to generation. Did it with my kids and now I look forward to doing it with my grandchildren!

    Popping the Platty cherry tomorrow/Saturday! Who else will be there?

    Can't say that I remember that place. I just remember three main bars.

    Popping the Platty cherry tomorrow/Saturday! Who else will be there?

    Skied there for the 1st time last year the last day they were open. Outstanding relaxed vibe, nice straight down the fall line steep stuff and great trails in between. Def park in the upper lot because the place is built on a hill. I went to college at Delhi which is just to the west, in the...

    People are real scum bags

    Good luck with all that Puck It. Had cash stolen from my wallet out of a unlocked gym locker while i was in the shower at a high end health club I used to belong to. I thought it was strange how my wallet was sitting on top of my clothes when I opened it but I guess I'm lucky they left the...

    Killington, Thursday, 3/20/14

    Made it up there yesterday and it was outstanding! Did not hear the sound of ice until about 2pm when things were starting to get skied off. (except for power ovation that is, but it was edgable). It snowed almost all day and seemed more like Jan 21 than March. Plenty of bearly tracked pow to be...

    Hunter Mountain, March 5-6

    Was there on Friday and the conditions were outstanding! Skied a lot on the west side and the skiers left of claires was great all day. The flyer was also stopping a lot and I think that's why they fired up the F lift on a weekday.

    Ah yes, I was there that day. The West Side Z lift I think it was, was a zoo!

    Ski Waxing - Can you judge when it's "right" by touch??

    I've been tuning and waxing for a long time, but the one thing that I never quite got the hang of is how much to scrape off. At 1st I was scraping until I wasn't getting too much more off. After and while I realized that maybe I was taking too much and now I only make 3 or 4 passes. Anyone have...

    Hunter Mountain, 1-30-14

    Westway was open for a couple of weeks last year with the snowmaking on the right side, but a warm up/rain killed it for the season. Puna does have snowmaking but its been years since I've seen it used. When it is open it had good pitch with a great fall line. Hunter is just an outstanding 1600'...

    Hunter Mountain, 1-30-14

    Love it at hunter. The mountain and the snow conditions along with a short two hour ride for me can't be beat! Did you say Annapurna was open? That hasn't been open in years!

    Magic - 1/20

    What really sucks is when you finally get to a place where you can go but you can't. Wow his thread is getting weird!

    Mikaela Shiffrin lands on Lienz GS podium, Olympic team

    Can you even watch it on line? I've been writing cablevision to try and convince them to bring universal back, especially since the Olympics are around the corner.
