The talk in the Sugarbush thread of expanding above Inverness got me thinking about expansions in general. Besides Hunter North there really have not been any significant expansions in the Northeast in the last decade. Realistically what terrain expansions are left that will happen or are...

11/23 First day of season for me, also first time at Mount Snow in over 10 years back in the ASC days. Nitro was the clear trail of the day. My first couple runs I was getting untracked man made 2-3" powder on skiers right. Nitro was always my favorite cruiser back when I used to frequently go...

https://blog.stratton.com/2018/03/new-snow-bowl-lift-mountain-bike-trails-way/ Will lower lines at other lifts, but will make the summit even more crowded. Janeway Junction and Get My Drift already get scraped off and become a sh!t show everyday, this will just make those 2 trails worse...

Did a four and a half day trip to Copper this past week skiing Thursday through Monday morning on my MAX Pass. Lucked out weather wise as it snowed about a foot on Monday and Tuesday the 5th and 6th of February, to set up the mountain nicely, and then snowed 10" on Saturday the 10th while I was...

https://www.ikonpass.com/en/ The MAX Pass is going to Turn into the Ikon Pass next year. Looks a lot like the MAX Pass from its first year with Alterra, Powdr, and Boyne joining forces, with the addition of Jackson Hole, Alta and Snowbird. In the New England the mountains are Killington...

It did not suck, spent almost the whole day lapping North Peak. Lower Walking Boss Woods Big Dipper Flume Skidder

Was a long slow drive from Waltham, as it took about 3hrs, instead of what should be 1.5hrs to get there due to the 2" of fresh snow. I93 had a lot of traffic for early morning on a Saturday, definitely a lot of people getting out for some turns on the snow that fell this week. Spent most of...

This past weekend I spent 2 days at Killington (Sat and Sun) and one day at Okemo (Mon). Overall I thought the grooming at Killington was very good, the windswept 2" that fell overnight Saturday certainly helped. Of course certain trails got scraped down to hardpack by afternoon, but I did not...

Can someone please explain why New England gets a lot of young Brits to some over to ski in early April. Aren't there far better places for them to ski in Europe. Or if they really want to ski in America why aren't they going out west. Seems really odd to me.

Boom, https://www.themaxpass.com/ $100 cheaper than this year added Wachusett, Solitude, and Alyeska the competition has responded to Peaks pass

I had to wake up at 4:45 anyway to drop my dad off at the airport, so I decided to take advantage of the early morning to drive up to Loon. Their snowmaking efforts of the last week were apparent as trails that were resurfaced skied great, yet trails that weren't had lots of boilerplate. First...

After going to Winter Park last year, I realized that going on a ski trip out west on my own is not that difficult. So this year I planned on going out west again, and purchased the MAX pass with the intention of doing so. A 5 day lift ticket to Steamboat costs almost as much as the MAX pass...

I guess you can only wait for fresh snow for so long, we are almost halfway through the season and its time to get out there and make the best of it. I only had 4 days on the season so far with the most recent of those on New Years Weekend in Maine, so 3 weeks was too long of a break. I still...

First day of the year for me. Weather was beautiful clear with temps in the high 40s in the sun. Snow varied greatly depending on if it was in the sun or shade from spring skiing to frozen hardpack. Walking Boss was in shade all day, and parts of other trails never got sun due to their...

I don't think anyone has started one of these threads yet this year. What changes/improvements/expansions are taking place this year in the east. I'm ignoring snowmaking upgrades for now as it seems every mountain upgrades their system every year. Confirmed: Sugarbush - New Valley house Quad...

https://www.themaxpass.com/ Could be a game changer pass option next year. 5 days at each Intrawest, Powdr, and Boyne mountain including Sunday River Killington Sugarloaf Loon Stratton Tremblant Pico In the East, not to mention their mountains out west Good variety and no Blackouts

So here goes my crazy journey on where to ski solo this weekend. I was planning on skiing Stratton on Sunday on my pass and using Saturday to go to either Magic or Pico on one of my two remaining SkiVT tickets. I figured Stratton would be more crowded on Saturday so it would be best to go...

Conditions: Sweet 3-4 inches of light snow falling all morning Fun day in the new snow at the Crotch. Got there just after 9:00 after a very slow drive and stayed until 3:30. Everything was good especially in the morning. Untouched powder could be found on most trails for the first 2 hours...

1.1 15 runs Sunny Coming off of a cold that I had for about 10 days throughout the holidays, I knew my energy would be low so I decided to only make it a half day on the first of the year, so I arrived at 11:30 after driving up expecting scraped trails and big crowds. Parked at sunbowl (funny...

Conditions: packed powder on top of frozen hardpack My first day out on the year, too tired to go to where the goods are in northern NH or VT, so I just went to the Crotch and used my $35 mountain sports club ticket voucher (I will now have to buy more of those, good value). Slept in so I did...
