    New to You in 2018-2019

    Serre Chevalier, France was new to me this season. I would definitely go back. The terrain, snow, food, hotel, location, people - all awesome! https://gopro.com/v/96r19D8XomMoz

    Camelback 4/1/15

    Oh yeah, blue jacket - that's too cool that you were in the shot! I knew that trail would be perfect for her. As 4aprice mentioned, its a nice trail to introduce someone to the fun of skiing bumps.

    Seeded Moguls vs. Natural Moguls

    There's also another, longer pitch of bumps that continues down the trail that's not visible in that photo. It will be big fun tomorrow!

    Blue Mt - Feb 3,4 and 5th

    They did on Monday, Feb 13. They had them on Main Street (Barney's Bumps - on skier's right again this year) and also a short section on Nightmare. Unfortunately, no bumps on Challenge so far this year. For some reason, their website has yet to reflect the bump status. The lines were fun and...

    Another bad move: Drinking and skiing?

    Quote from the article: "Mason said he witnessed the emergency room staff attempt to warm Eichorst’s body with blankets and warm saline infusions and finally they cut his chest open and poured warm saline into the cavity. “I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes,” he...

    No Blue or Camelback TR's since 1/27? How are things in the Poconos?

    I was at Blue on Monday from about 11am to 4:30pm and it was great. There was a very small crowd and spring-like conditions. The bumps on Main Street were in excellent shape with multiple lines to choose from. There was a good group of people enjoying them. The bump skiers seem to gravitate...

    first signs of winter

    Here's a good winter-is-coming milestone. Today is the first day of the season that the NWS publishes these snow forecast charts. http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/winter_wx.shtml

    Skiing "the slides" at Whiteface

    I skied Whiteface for the first time on Feb 27 & 28. They had just received a ton of snow from the multi-day storm. The slides were open on the Saturday but the top of the mountain was in the clouds so I didn't try them. The next day was clear in the morning and I spent a few lift rides...

    Bilodeau FTW

    This is the risk you take when you decide to compete in a judged sport.

    Blue Mountain - 1/18/10

    1/18/10: Blue Mountain: Hero Snow: Great day! Skied from about 9:00 -12:30. The rain yesterday must have scared everyone away because conditions were excellent and the place was empty. I joined up with a crew of guys who all knew each other and were lapping the bumps. There are seeded...

    Is the bumped up half of Main Street what they refer to as Barney's Bumps on the trail map?

    Mad River Glen - 1/9/2010 - 1/11/2010

    On Saturday morning, we were finding untracked all over the place - plus, the mountain was surprisingly empty. By Monday, it started to seem a little skied-off but we were finding powder in the Gazelle Glades area.

    When to start kids

    I started my daughter on the Kid-Ski stuff at the start of last season when she had just turned two. We had fun sliding around the living room on the plastic skis with the red T-bar thing that they sell. I think that gave her a good feel for sliding and balancing. But when we went to the...
