After a little trial and error, I found a mask that doesn't fog my goggles at all. I actually kind of liked it for spring skiing...thin enough that I'm not sweating/overdressed as I would be with a normal neck gaiter, but still provided some nice protection on still-nippy mornings or windier...

This year will be my lowest ski day total in 20 years. If the Mount Snow close date of 4/18 holds, I'll get to 11 days, all at Mount Snow. We had a frustrating combo of a) me owning and running my own business which cannot be done remotely; b) my participation in that business making it...

Any update on this? Did the dad and kids do okay at the hospital? I've been hoping to hear positive news.

Snow was great this weekend, particularly Saturday morning, and more particularly at Carinthia and on the North Face! Hope it lasts the next few weekends. No rain in the forecast (fingers crossed it stays that way) but I wish it was dipping below freezing a little bit more consistently at night.

This was the best tip I ever got and made the biggest difference for me in skiing rhythmically through a zipper, even when the lines aren't perfect. They talk about team sports athletes eventually having "the game slow down" once they have a certain amount of experience and understanding, and...

Anyone have an opinion on how Mt. Snow base is holding up?

My anecdotal experience is that the travel restrictions have had an impact. We usually get 30-40 ski days each (my wife and I) on 15-16 trips a year at Mt. Snow given our condo there. As a result of the travel restrictions (and the return restrictions in NJ too), I have not been up a single time...

I know it was not the point of this thread, but I love this sentiment.

Yeah, I've heard this, but my question is kinda absent an impact. Every 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? I mean, the protection cannot be the same after a certain amount of time I assume...

I ran a search, and although there are plenty of discussions on helmets generally, there didn't seem to be one on the topic of proactive replacement. I have had my helmet for 8 or 9 seasons. I like it, it is comfortable, it was adaptable for Bluetooth earphones which I love, but it is...

I'm a huge Devils fan but I can't agree w this take. In my childhood experience, this was not the case at all. Maybe it was different in the 40s or 50s or something, but when I see videos of the 60s and 70s you see all kinds of horrible crowd behavior, people running on the field, streakers, the...

This is the correct attitude. Kids in a bar, totally fine (unless the parents aren't parenting, in which case, gtfo), but you have to know what you are exposing them to and be okay with it. Same goes for sporting events and rock concerts.

Well that's inflammatory and also not true. Station Tap Room has 23 according to Untappd. Another 10 at the Bullwheel at the summit. Usually no/not much overlap. That's not counting the canned options at either place or at the separate "bar" called Canned which is at the base downstairs from...

These are in regular rotation at The Station Tap Room and Bullwheel bars at Mount Snow.

Well, I took an "hour" out of my day to scan this thread from start to finish. Some interesting stuff. I will say that in my 10th year of condo ownership at Mt. Snow, the crowds have grown and grown, but this year seems otherworldly. Not that they were short before on a decent weather weekend...
