Not in my experience. Conditions there throughout December were very good. Jiminy has some of the best snowmaking and grooming in southern New England and I feel they always offer the most consistent product possible. Most ski areas in New England will have hardpack in the middle of the popular runs. I usually stick to the sides of trails though so that's usually not a problem for me...RossiSkier said:Greg said:Yeah? Why is that?RossiSkier said:I'd get those edges sharpened too.

Well, with night skiing and all, we know the grooming isn't what the VT resorts have and it tends to be a little icy. No?
Thanks. I'll check them out.Catul said:Greg said:BTW, any CT folks have any good shop recommendations in Western CT? I haven't found one that I'm really satisfied with.
I like Ski Tunes in Simsbury (they're on Route 10/Hopmeadow Street just south of Wagner Ford). The owner (Dave) is very knowledgeable, has been helpful, and doesn't push the wrong stuff in my experience. Worth checking out if it's not too far ... phone is (860) 651-9947.
Just because I don't tune my skis every couple of days out doesn't mean that I don't take care of my gear. Sorry if I don't have the time to wax my skis every time I ski. For standard skiing they say about every 20 times out to tune them. I'm not actually doing any damage to my skis by not waxing them daily so it's not really an issue.SKIQUATTRO said:waxing isnt about going fast, it allows the ski to turn better...i just cant grasp the fact that people dont keep their gear in top shape...mind-blowing.
when a ski only lasts two season and you are skiing over rocks all the time, i can't grasp why someone would waste the money and time tuning every week. different styles, different ways of doing things.SKIQUATTRO said:waxing isnt about going fast, it allows the ski to turn better...i just cant grasp the fact that people dont keep their gear in top shape...mind-blowing.
