Already snowing out this way. Hope you see some in New England soon!

I will, however, comment on this. Chris's books are fantastic and his perspective is incredibly valuable. He was also a gentleman and a scholar. I had the honor of receiving my humble "Groomer of the Year" award by his side in 2015 when he earned CSCUSA's Lifetime Achievement Award. He was a...

Sorry guys. Not something I'm going to comment on online at the moment. You will hear more from Cooper via official avenues. Meanwhile, I'm definitely here enjoying the various perspectives.

A bit of GoPro footage from the 16th annual greatest unofficial skiing event in the history of skiing, Bumpapalooza! Good lines, soft snow, freshies in the afternoon, fantastic skiers (I think we numbered about 30 in total, though not all skiing together all the time), and even better...

Tons of fun, but it’s a completely different type of turn than you’d do on a fat ski. Lots more weighting/unweighting. You can’t just lean on an edge. But I prefer that. Only downside in my opinion is moving around low angle terrain. Obviously they do not float.

Yeah, my one ski quiver: Rossi Hero Mogul Accelere. I like them. Better than K2 Mamba, Elan Bloodline, and Dynastar Twister. I did prefer my old Hart F17 World Cup, but can’t get that anymore. Still haven’t tried ID One, so can’t compare to those.

That was the funkiest spot for me, too. At least heading into Pali I knew it was all downhill. But in that bowl shortly below top of Black Mountain Express, there were two moments that left me more than a little uncertain of what direction was what!

Four runs was enough this morning. Snow was piling up nicely, but visibility was really rough above treeline, and the wind was whipping. A bit interesting dropping into Pali almost blind. Waited for a little break in the steady wind to even find a reference point to drop in. Fun morning, but...

Working in the CO ski industry, I ski around a fair amount. Once in a while I get out the GoPro for a little edit. This was a stunning bluebird day with great snow all around. Copper is a great hangout midweek.

As a skier, I never particularly cared for Slide Brook. It was a cool idea, and a really neat ride the first time. After that, I'd rather ride the bus. I think Les's goal was to get a foot in the door for building out in the Slide Brook terrain; but that dream was DOA. I always thought that...

She's an "Ikon Pass Athlete" evidently

It definitely gets tricky when mixing manufacturers. We had a similar situation here - CTEC retrofitted our 1983 Poma Alpha triple in 2001. After a few years neither manufacturer was particularly interested in supporting the machine. In the last three years we've basically returned it to a 100%...

Fun bump, Steezy. My picks will be very ME oriented. In the six years I spent at Sugarbush, I logged more than 300 days at ME, and probably only about 25 at LP. Keep in mind my perspective is from 2005-2011. Haven't made it back since. Favorite Overall Run: Tumbler - really enjoyed the unique...

First gen detach tech is challenging, regardless of manufacturer. The old Dopp DS model had a similar set of challenges to the early Poma machines. That cadence chain issue has been tricky on NRX for a while. I remember being frustrated with it in the mid-aughts. But I'd wager cost to retrofit...
