    K management communication

    Did they really groom Superstar wall to wall? I thought significant portions of the left and right sides were usually left untouched even when the trail is groomed.

    Death at Stratton

    Checking my old posts would quickly convince anyone that I most certainly am not HS.

    Delete his post if you do not like it. What you are doing is making things worse, not better.

    Death at Stratton

    And a new low had been reached by a AlpineZone moderator. Seriously, DHS, what is wrong with you?

    Ski Demos: tuning issues?

    Nasty rock burrs, or left over burrs from the shop's tuning machines, sometimes called a hanging burr.

    Ski Demos: tuning issues?

    That has always meant detuning the parts that do not touch the snow so they do not grab the other ski when accidentally crossed. I guess it could be interpreted differently for rockered skis. Still, when complaining about a demo's tune, I think some left over edge burrs are the more likely culprit.

    Ski Demos: tuning issues?

    This sounds more like a deburring issue rather than detuning. You generally do NOT detune modern shaped skis. http://www.tognar.com/deburr_tips_edge_polish_repais_ski_snowboard.html

    Killington making snow again

    Tug hill vs northern VT forecast

    Will Sochi Olympics be a disaster?

    Considering the massive backlash to the Bode interview, I think this cost NBC a lot more freight than it paid for.

    Will Sochi Olympics be a disaster?

    Have you seen today's Wikipedia entry for Christen Cooper? "On February 16, 2014, while covering the Winter Olympics in Sochi as a reporter on alpine skiing for NBC, Cooper received criticism for her interview with Bode Miller after his bronze medal win in the men's super G event. During the...

    Will Sochi Olympics be a disaster?

    Yes, Bode summed it up well when he wrote, "it was crazy emotional and not all her fault." Not all her fault. It was only partially her fault for asking those awful questions, and it was partially Bode's fault for not walking away from her when she got so rude. Personally, I blame the NBC execs...
