I figured as much, but it was still worth a shot.

Hey ya'll... I frequent Huntermtn.net under a different alias, but here's my scoop.. 32, just bought a house in Northwestern NJ -15 mins from Mountain creek with my fiance and 2 schnauzers. Been skiing only a couple years and mostly at Hunter. We've previously been in a share house - but with our upcoming wedding and new home, we're stuck in NJ this winter - other than day trips to visit our Hunter friends. We'll get some turns in at Mountain Creek - so if anyone's up in these parts - please let me know!

Hey everybody,

I'm Mike, I am 20 years old and I have skiied for 17 of those 20 years. Anyone from around Milton? I grew up there, so I went to blue hills quite often. I was an avvid skiier, but I have only been able to go on 1 ski trip in the last 3 years, that was December of 04' and it was 20 below, so it SUCKED!!! But besides the recent lapses in skiing, I have skiied at pretty much every mountain in New England (notice I said mountain, not hill, so that excludes pretty much all the "resorts" in mass). Killington is my favorite, followed close by Mount Snow.

I've tried snowboarding, but I wasn't very good at it, and I am too impatient and I don't like the bunny slopes so I went back to skiing.

I love moguls, even though I am not very good at going through them fast. Devils fiddle is up there as one of my favorite trails. Anyones else enjoy that trail?

I still have straight ski's, I never cared for the shaped ones.

After high school, I joined the Marines. I was stationed at Pendleton, and then I got sent to Fallujah, Iraq, which is where I am now. Yes they have internet, and they loosened up the restrictions, so now I can access this site. I want to keep informed on whats happening at the ski resorts in New England, because I plan on skiing there when I come home on leave.

I am supposed to leave here in a few months, and go back to Camp Pendleton (which is in California) I am hoping to make a trip to Bear and Mammoth Mountain, those are really the only ski resorts than are even somewhat close to where I am stationed. Anyone skiied there before?

Hi, all.

I'm new here; I'm fairly private on-line so won't get too specific, but will say that I live in the Whites and get out hiking any time I can on Fridays when the kids are at school and my DH is at work, since I have the day off. I'm entirely a day-hiker, avoid torrential downpours whenever possible, and do most of my hiking from May to November. I may give winter hiking a go sometime, but not until I'm able to afford proper equipment. We do some downhill and X-country skiing, so at least we get out in the winter. Just not hiking.

Glad to be here.

Welcome Friday hiker. The Whites happen to be a favorite of mine as well. If you ever do want to meet some hikers from here in your area MTN magic does alot of group hikes. He is from Lancaster I think.

Just a quick hello to all, very cool video clips from some trips and great discussions to hold me over for the next couple of weeks to the natural snow falls. Hope to come in more this winter but may be busy playing in the white stuff!

I never knew this thread was here and since this is my 100th post i figure I'd introduce myself.
I'm a law student at Rutgers newark but I'm from philadelphia. Live with great GF that got me into downhill skiing and converted me from X/C which my parents do. Mom refuses to believe that downhill skiing is safe after she tore up her ankle at greek peak in the 70's.
Anyway love the forum, love skiing.
My "home Mountain" is prob. whiteface since that's where I've spent the bulk of my time skiing. If you include trips with family over the last 20 years to go cross country skiing and summer camp in the adirondacks I would say that LP is like my second home.
Also spend a great deal of time skiing belleayre.
Anyway...hope it snows soon.
