    Best Utah Ski Area in Windy Weather

    Hey guys, I am out in Utah this week and we are supposed to get 6-10in for monday. The only problem is that the forecast calls for a steady 25 mph wind. Should I be worried about lift closures? Is there a certain resort that has less exposure to wind/is less likely to close their lifts. I...

    Waterville Valley Receives Approval for Green Peak Expansion

    Hate to kill the enthusiasm, but right now even though the plans have been approved, the mountain simply doesn't have the money to move forward with the first stage.

    Improvements you'd make?

    I would replace the summit double at Big Squaw with A fixed Grip Quad, make some base lodge repairs, and overhaul the snowmaking system... that is if I had the money.

    The Most Unusual Trails

    If you take the high country double up to the top of Waterville and then hike to the little used trail called upper express, the trail is quite erie, always ungroomed, and the remains of the summit quad and lift shack are right in the middle of it.

    Loon Mountain

    Waterville expansion

    The number of cops on 49 on any given day is simply ridiculous, it's even hurting the restaurant buisness in Campton because people staying in the valley don't want to drive down for a couple beers and then on the drive back up get pulled over. Waterville may not be many things, but it is my...

    2013 SKI Magazine Resort Rankings (Northeast)

    Not that I agree with it, but Waterville Valley captured the #12 spot, a huge advancement for them. They haven't been in the top 20 for a few years.

    Killington will Open Before Sunday River This Season

    The only reason killington opened first last year was because SR allowed it. It was a respectful gesture after hurricane Irene. It wont happen again.
