Yes, a shameless rip off of the thread http://Things you say after wiping out What's the funniest thing someone has said after you crashed. For me, it was about three seasons ago at K-mart. It was January and the surface was good, but the base depth was still a little thin. I came down...

Sorry for no pix. I headed up for patrol duty oblivious to what they've gotten for snow. In a word, Wow. Most on the map was groomed in the usual impecable Crotched style. Skiers' right on Pluto's was left ungroomed and is bumping up nice. The unnamed trails, glades and off-map were the...

As mentioned in the "Burton poaching" thread: Method 9455 started an interesting tangent: Is boarding safer than skiing? Usually byt this time of the season, there has been some realease of injury data for the previous season. I haven't seen anything yet, although I'd bet it's out there...

I was at the Crotch Thursday night. As I got on the chair, I could see up near the top of Pluto's a skier skiing smooth, Stein Erikson form, legs locked together, quiet upper body. I thought: "Wow, now that's Old School!' As he got a little closer, I noticed that he was carving, without a...

I my line of work, we often have pet nick-names for hospitals, such as: Lahey Clinic = Lazy cynic LMH (Lawrence Memorial Hospital) = Last Meal Hospital Emerson = Emesis Mass General = Massive Genitals So (now that I've offended half the healthcare providers in Eastern Massachusetts), what...

Well, I go the "All terrain" route for winter tires on my PU, then switch to all Season for summer (as I still need some tread, but want to improve the mileage). Winter sneakers are All terrain TA KO's. Needless to say, great for a light duty truck, not so good for a smaller car or even a...

As an off shoot from the Favorite Pizza toppings thread What your preference, think or thin? Vote and move on, or debate it until the cows come home. (Guess you can't edit polls..)

Someone over at Snowjournal seems to have it out for the new operators of Magic: Magic Mountain snowmaking pond Attention VT Skiers The new operators have enough work ahead of them. This is just low. Make sure we get there and enjoy the goods this season.

Are polls good for discussion? Do they stimulate a good debate, or do people vote and move on?

Gave up beer a while ago. Tequilla's become my full time drink...in moderation. True, most of the time I drink Sauza Gold swill mixed with whatever's on hand. If I have the choice (or someone else is paying), Sauza Hornitos Reposado, or Corozan de Agave Anejo (yum) or, once or twice a year...

Hey all! What threads do you think keep coming up, season after season after season? My votes are for: What state in New England/Northeast is the best? What kind of car do you driver, would you drive, did you drive? Will neon come back this season? Do you ski with a...

Along the lines of Zand's thread, which areas did you ski thier first season? (I suspect this will be a shorter thread.) I'll allow re-openings. For me, it was Onset and then, the new Crotched. (I won't count Bobcat.)

I did fianlly hang up the skis for this season. Yesterday, I enjoyed an epic day (and three whole runs) in Stinkbug Gully. Yes, there's still skiing in Tuckerman, but I've opted to hang them up, Who's still got plans to continue?

After weeks of working too many hours (I'm a ho for the OT, what can I say?) and studying for a promotional exam, I finally gave myself a couple of days to myself. I did manage to pick at least one right. Thursday morning I got blasted out of bed by the alarm at some ungodly hour. I made...

I can't tell you the name of the resort, but I can tell you it rhymes with "Monday Liver". So I was looking at Mondayliver.com and I came across this little bit of marketing shamelessness: I think someone should put down the crack pipe when they are coming up with promotional concepts. I'm...
