Turned 50 this year and received an unsolicited AARP card. Meh, don't care. Got my skis back from their preseason tune and the shop informed me they were required to lower my DIN setting by one due to my age. THAT bothered me...

I don't even care about tracking storms right now because they will just be *ain anyway. But I am hearing a buzz about sustained cold, or at least a lack of a return to above seasonal temps after the next system passes this Thursday night/friday???? I'm not greedy, just give me some cold please!

Strictly for road salt related issues. Just curious. My old ride (toyota Rav 4) I never washed the car. I look at the underside now and it looks pretty beat (only 5 yo). New ride has me rethinking this approach.

Trip report, kinda rambling and no pics, sorry. Made the go desicion Thursday night to head north with friends. Friday morning saw Jay had another 16" but high winds projected. Made exec desicion to go to Burke which got maybe 10-12 inches (??) Mild winds, crowded, but only by Burke standards...

Never been skiing out west and got my first trip next week (Steamboat). We are flying Continental, and per their website it's $25 for the 1st bag (ski bag) and $35 for the second bag. I would love to keep the $70 and just check the skis. I'm there to ski and post-skiing socializing will be...

White Face: Apr -01 to Apr-03 Temps generally mid to upper 20's up top. High 30s to 40s on the bottom. Conditions varied day to day but basically firm on top (sometimes very ;) to loose granular to spring bombs. Weather was constant light snow at altitude to full blown dumps high up...

Website said they got 10". Had to do the work thing this AM but wrapped things up as quick as I could and was at CB by 11AM. They got the snow all right. But when I planted my pole in to peek it looked like a tree ring: 2" snow then an ice ring and so on. I don't have the talent to ski that...

20-Mar Blue Mountain Corn Bittersweet day. Mucho sun and blue skies. Temps in the upper 40s to 50s. Beers, pond skimming and friends. Awesome year. If Camelback is open next Saturday I guess I'm there.

Sunday, March 6th Blue Mountain ice, rain-soaked corn Not a trip report really. Good base but I don't know how it will hold up to the rain and warm temps. Closed at noon today. Closing weekend in two weeks; hope we make it. Time to drive north.

First time ever. I was solo and got there 9AM. Missed out on the "1st 100 people only $15". So I payed the full $30 :razz: Talk about your money's worth! Powder under a thin crust. I sucked in that stuff so did not do the true glades, did some bike paths though. Fun stuff. Blockbuster was...

Date(s) Skied: 12/18+19/10 Resort or Ski Area: Blue Mountain Conditions: Man made Packed Powder Trip Report: At Blue with my boys Saturday, crowds where relatively light. Bumps on main St (guess you were right Gorgonzola). Conditions were pretty good but tended to get scraped up later in the...

Just wondering for chuckles. My garden is puking tomatoes, eating them everyday. Hot day today, so no cooking. Cannot locate regular bacon for my BLT, but find canadian bacon in the freezer = all sytems go for (modified) BLT. Sandwich is good. Not as good as using regular bacon but good none...

Boys spring break. Trip up to SL and JP for the week. Sugarloaf conditions (3/29th and 30th): rain and spring snow: Wonderful (but long) ride up on the 28th. Blue skies and could see the summit. Very psyched. Woke up to 4-6" of wet snow at the summit, but turned to 100% r**n by 9AM. Skied...

Just got back, a bit tired but here it is FWIW. Drove up to MRG Thursday night with a bunch of fine folks from Blue. Bed by midnight. 3/12 - First chair up the double. Conditions were awesome. Soft but firm enough for fun. Temps stated in the low 30s, maybe got up to 40 (?). Cloudy but no...

You know what the conditions where... Took my boys and nephew up there today. Sane drive, no issues. However, power issues all day at Hunter. Storm is really putting the cabbash on the powergrid up there. From opening up the ticket lines late due to no power to the west side being shut down all...

Hi Folks, Busy, so just posting now. Drove up Friday night with both boys in tow, solid conga line up 91 with most cars getting off at the southern Vt resort exits. Stayed at White River Junction Friday night. Four charter busses in the lot, looked like all HS clubs. Casual conversation...
