New Guy

Am I really the first to register for March?

Well lets see i guess I've been lurking around AZ since sometime around 2/14 ? a weekend spent at Gore (good snow/bad parking)

Spent last weekend at the Bush(epic)

looking foward to the next trip at the end of the month (green/white mtns) Currently seeking the "best" deal . I know Magic's got 25$ mid-week tix Burke has some sweet lookin deal...
maybe just wing it?

Like just about everyone else, the one area I could improve in is the bumps. Usually ski a blue or two before hitting the blacks or "lookin into the woods"

Great site guys certianly and invaluable tool for the right coast.

Welcome! Although bumps are one area I can improve in...there are many others for me. The list is long but distinguished

Welcome Steve, I'm assuming you're the same powhunter from mogulskiing.net?

I grew up in Burlington, CT and lived in Bristol for a few years. Post when you're going to be at Sundown next, maybe you'll have a chance to meet up with some of us. That is if you want to...

I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out

Hey everyone, I am new to the site here and hope to get to know some of y'all and also to get some help getting into the backcountry of new england. I am currently a chiropractic student and unfortunatly living in Dallas TX. I am from maine and I will be heading back there as soon as I graduate in dec. I can't wait!!! I really have a hard time living in such a huge city that is so far from anything that resembles outdoor recreation.
I used to ski a ton and spent some time living and working in Alta UT, A.K.A. heaven. But living in dallas and marriage with a kid has limited my ski days in the last few years. Now I am looking forward to doing some backpacking but I am new to the whole idea and may need some help. I also love to flyfish and would love to find some remote streams to hike into and fish for native trout.
Anyway I am married with a 2 year old named James, I will be moving my family back to maine at the end of this year and I am so looking forward to spending time in the woods again.

Welcome to Alpinezone. Hope you get back to Maine soon. When you do, I need chiropractic help. Can I get an AZ discount? Just kidding. Keep working at it and you will get there. Good luck!

Hey All

i just signed up here and thought I drop a line and say hey. I recently moved to NH and I’m just starting to educate myself about hiking in the whites and such. Im wondering if anyone can suggest some good beginner hikes/scrambles. I have hiked a bit in southern Nh (monadnock, and miller state park) but I don’t feel confident enough yet to tackle the larger mountains (Jefferson, Adams Washington or any of the 4k ones). Basically I’m just looking to get my feet wet and start enjoying some great hikes. Thanks a lot and take care.

 

[bvibert]

Welcome to the forums LongStep. I don't have any suggestions for hikes, but I'm sure you'll get some answers in the hiking forum.

Hey All!

Recently tried skiing again this year after having gone only twice 12 years ago in college.
Well...I'm hooked bad. Real bad! Finally got the wife out as well (total newb). I've been out about 5 times this year (late start) and we are headed to Whiteface this Sunday-Wednesday.

Despite being rather out of shape, I have pushed myself to the blues, but still need alot of practice while the wife is still working past the wedge-christie for her turns, so its the greens for now.

Can't wait to get some shots up from the upcoming trip! May winter never end.

Mt. Osceola is one of the 4k's, but its pretty easy. The elevation doesn't rise too sharply. Its a really nice hike, and gives you a real sense of accomplishment knowing you just did a 4k.

Welcome to the addiction Dave L. Be sure to post any questions you might have in the Skiing & Boarding Forum. Where are you located?

Let us know how Whiteface goes.

 

[Dave L]
