  1. Any T-bars currently running ?

    Philadelphia's Wissahickon Ski Club has a T-bar on their clubs private hill located just outside of the city! Was a rope tow when I belonged decades ago. I have only used T-bars in Europe skiing the Alps. Wondering if T-bars installed around tree protected routes up would work to access high...
  2. Are my skis too long?

    On the money. You've about 10lbs and a inch on me, with rockered, my sweet spot is 170 - 178cm. I'm more 65% off piste, 35% on and like 170 in tight trees and tight bumps, not so much on the grom where I fell like I'm running out of edge and want longer.
  3. Are my skis too long?

    I'd say the 178cm ski should be $$$ :)

  5. Skiing on the Cheap - 2017-18 Edition

    I could really use your two Jackson Hole vouchers. I have an extra Warren Miller Movie bonus card that a friend cant use, it includes a free Sugarbush ticket and two free lift tix to Jackson Hole.
  6. What should you wear inside your ski jacket?

    As little as possible. I hate layering and being all bound up, garment to garment incompatibility with thick seams collars and zippers pushing against my neck, underarms etc, so darn uncomfortable! I'm 100% for down, wool and technical synthetics.

    Sad. Once again, Fuk 2016!
  8. WTF with all the back packs

    What a PITA that would be, thanks but no thanks! Have to admit, I purchased a Black Diamond Agent Pack last year because I knew I'd want the ski carry option for hiking Aspen Highland Bowl. You know what, I never used it! The day I decided to take the bus from Snowmass to Highlands, I sat...

  13. NWS 2016 / 2017 Winter forecast!

    One good measurable storm here and I'm not complaining either. I think 20" was the official total from January's storm, measured 26" in my driveway. Got to cross-country ski the hilly woods of the Wissahickon Gorge, something I dreamt of doing while running there all summer and fall, and again...
