Most of you probably already know that I'm open to links to other sites/forums, etc. With that said, what other forums do you visit? Which one(s) do you like best, and after answering that question, feel free to elaborate on likes and dislikes. Perhaps this will lead to some features that I can add here and can help shape the direction of this board. Some of you have probably seen me on these forums:
SKIING:
There are a number of good skiing boards out there, but I have yet to find one that is truly Northeast-specific. A few lean towards NE discussion though.
SnowJournal Forums
Fairly active board. Although it's not region-specific, there's a fair amount of NE discussion. I still don't quite understand the NELSAP affiliation, but that board is the only one that has much activity.
The Barking Bear Forums at EpicSki
Quality discussion, but the software used (UBB) is brutal (read: slow). The admin, AC is considering new software which would help a ton.
KillingtonChat.com
I visit here from time to time. Killington-specific info and there are some posters that are local and can comment on weather and skiing conditions. The board has a younger, sometimes immature, vibe though.
First Tracks!! Online
Great board for trip reports. Similar to our TR forum. It seems like it's been rather slow lately though.
HIKING:
There are really only two other players in this game, the AMC boards and VFtT. I think we compliment them nicely and offer a place for those who both ski and hike to chat.
AMC Bulletin Boards
HJ usually stays on topic and has a lot of great hiking info. Probably the most active NE hiking board out there. I shy away from the M&M board though. Things often get too political there...
Views from the Top
Another very active NE hiking board. It's more of a close-knit community than the AMC boards. Darren runs a tight ship though, so if you're looking for light-hearted camaraderie or off-topic posts, this is not the place. It's a "Just the facts, please"-type forum.
However, I think the best forum out there for both Northeast skiing and hiking is this one. I'm a little biased though. You guys and gals all rock!
