Up in North Troy for a long weekend. Skied Jay yesterday (fantastic), hopped over the border an easy 20 minutes to Owls Head for today and back to Jay for tomorrow. I was very impressed with Owls Head. First time there and skiing Quebec in general. Place has some excellent pitch, minimal run...

I wish it wasn't April 1St and this was true

Read on Facebook they'll be sold out tomorrow. Potential for additional passes for sale if they add additional member ski areas. Those passes will go to those still on the waiting list. So, if you haven't made your purchase yet, now's the time or you are out of luck.

Ski in Peace Betsy. Hearing stories about who you were and your values, I'm guessing accolades don't mean much. However, if there was a Mt Rushmore of legendary ski area owners, you would for sure be on it.

In this day and age of technology advancement where so much regarding ski equipment is better than ever before (nevermind the other technologies of the world that were unthinkable a decade ago), why hasn't the goggle / helmet interface been perfected and standardized? There's not one skiing...

A rather spirited discussion on this topic in the Vail Sucks thread. I figured it's worthy of its own discussion. It's an interesting topic for many reasons. For one, I've seen a demand for this service this winter on social media like I haven't ever seen before. Specifically Facebook...

Second year in a row my family did NH school vacation week at Saddleback. Both have been stellar. No question if I lived an hour closer, Saddleback would be my home mountain of choice over all others in New England. Just the finest pound for pound collection of great old school New England...

Sorry no pictures. I really should have taken some, but was having too much fun. First time to Waterville in maybe 10-12 years today. Last time was early season pre Green Peak and lodge expansion. Took my 6 year old son there for the first time. On Indy Pass Have to say I was pretty...

Sad week for my family. One of my closest cousins suffered a massive stroke on Monday. He was pretty healthy. Bit of a beer gut, but regular mountain biker (NEK trails was an annual pilgrimage for years), frequent kayaker too. Only 54 He was put into a medically induced coma very quickly...

Only skied Suicide Six twice before on the old Fox44 pass. Both occasions were on the way up to the Waterbury area to ski MRG, Bolton or Smuggs on that product. Neither visit was very good. Bad timing and after rain. Like 20% open. But it was pretty obvious with both visits that with the...

I didn't know that. https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/04/weather/artificial-snow-beijing-olympics-climate/index.html It appears it will get the job done, but you have to wonder how a decision was made that a place that only averages 7.8" of snow a year was a good location for the games. I mean...

The snowmaking equipment manufacturers must be reading all the negative press and boosting R&D on automated snowmaking systems right about now no? If you could perfect the product, make it respectably affordable and resorts used it to capacity, that's kinda the dream of the Eastern skier...

With Vail an absolute train wreck in NH, I did Not go with an Epic pass this winter. Other than one season, I've had a pass at Wildcat every year since 2012. I had fully planned on getting a seasonal condo rental in Bartlett and put my 6 and 3 year old in seasonal development programs at...

Mountain Stewardship Update, from Chet Dear Friends of Shawnee Peak, I hope that everyone is well and enjoyed a wonderful summer with family and friends! Today, I am writing this email with very bittersweet feelings. I recently turned 71 and realized how much of my life and my family’s...

Who's boating this season? What type of vessel do you have and where do you boat? This is our second season on Winnipesaukee with a 24' Cobalt that we call Captain Fantasy. We lucked into one of our marinas new Cabana slips last season. It was still under construction last year, but ready to...
