    Could someone please explain moguls to me?

    Bumps are somtimes the only challange on the mountain.And for me,they require total commitment.As soon as you get tired,you have to stop.You can't just noodle around in bumps,you have to charge or you get tossed.That's why I love em.It's also why I usually only have so many mogul runs in a...

    What's the Best Ski Area in NY?

    Wow,I feel for ya bro.I also can see a little gray around the edges and feel way to old to be treated like that.That's what I mean by 'core'.Any skier who is advanced,has some years under thier belt,dosen't like crowds,likes the crud around the edges and hey,posts on a ski forum in...

    What's the Best Ski Area in NY?

    Oh yeah,when it's on that place is fun for sure.By the way,I would also be down for hookin up to check out HH or the valley's backside.HH always did stick out to me from a topo map as a neat place.

    What's the Best Ski Area in NY?

    Holiday Valley totally alienates the "core" skier.It's sad,they put millions of dollars into dumb lifts and ugly hotels,meanwhile Chute gets closed at 4:30.Then the gay yellow jackets wait at the bottom of 4:30 closed glades at 4:31 to scold you when you pop out.Spare me,you pay so much for a...

    Whiteface Gondola incident - Hoodlums threatened to push passenger out

    Hearing about this brings back bad memories of highschool.I wouldn't blame the parents.The kids are soley responsible for thier actions.Hopefuly all this media attention will bring some sort of punishment,but not enough.

    Why resorts suck...

    Being the leader breaking trail always reminds me of roadbike racing.The guy pulling at the front is either the strongest,dumbest or most eager.Either way all ways the most vunerable.As soon as you see the other party closing in,some desisions have to be made.Hammer down and gap the creeps or...

    Favorite skiing sounds

    I love the rare ocations when ski movies turn the soundtrack off and you actually hear the skiing sounds.It really puts you in the picture,but they hardly ever omit music.Ski racing on the tele has lots of ski sounds however.

    bra trees vs thong trees

    Does the Smuggs triple black deserve the rating?

    Does it take a lot of snow to get these mentioned trails open?I was at Smuggs and Stowe last year mid February a few days after a good 10" and they all were closed.It made me think they weren't open often.

    What's the coldest/most severe weather you've ever skied in?

    The coldest I've been was one day at Jay doing laps on the Flyer.I don't remember what the temp was,below zero anyways,not many people were out.It's cold and then you crest the first peak into alligator alley,instantly the wind hits you and the temp just plumets.That would be a scary place to be...

    Bumps vs. POW

    You can't forget skiing is extremely physical,nothing sears your quads like a bump run.My best skiing is when I feel strong.And nothing hammers me more than moguls and I love that burn.
