I am curious about Magic in particular but this could be applicable to other places as well. I was looking at the ski reports last weekend and noticed Magic had only 4 trails (or something like that) open. The base depth was fairly small as well. I was looking at snowforecast.com and the...

I was thinking about heading up to Vermont, NH or ME for New Years day to go skiing. Then I thought, "why not go up a day early and enjoy the festivities?". Which slope has the best New Years party? If you could, please provide the name of the mountain, the name of the bar you have partied at...

Does anyone have a complete list of all the demo days in New England this season? I am looking to try some new skis but I always miss the darn demo days. It would be great if there was a list or something so I could plan ahead.

I was just looking at the Cannon Mountain trail map and was wondering what the Mittersill area is all about. On the map, it looks like there are defined trails and a base lodge, yet no lift (although it says they have one planned). Was that a different ski area at one point or something? I find...

Date Skied: 1/15/10 Resort or Ski Area: Mohawk Mountain Conditions: Packed Powder Trip Report: It was a nice, warm and sunny day out there on Friday. It was my first trip back to Mohawk since I was a kid and had a friend taking the Learn To Ski lesson. The conditions were good for a...

I am going to be taking a friend for a "Learn to Ski" package on Friday. I have been looking at the different mountains and trying to decide where the best place would be to get him seriously hooked on skiing. He is a athletic guy so I think he will pick it up relatively fast and I don't want...

I was just looking through the trail reports trying to find out how the Southwestern MA mountains were skiing. It is, of course, a long weekend coming up and I would like to get out a few times. Sundown? Of course. At least once. But what about some other close places? Are they in good shape...

It seems like there is a lot of venom being spewed here lately. The last time I checked, the top three posts are filled with one person flaming another. So, in the spirit of positive imagery, I thought I would create a new post about the things we look forward to. If nothing else, maybe we can...

I still haven't made it out this season with all of this work being done on my house, so all I have is this board and perusing the snow reports - memorizing the trail counts and increases day after day. Anything to get by, right? ;-) What is going on over at Mohawk Mountain? They have been...

I am looking for some on-site reporting from those of you near the mountains (any and all mountains)... It poured in southern CT yesterday and was wondering what it did up north. Sure, the snow reports will tell me "X inches of snow on Dec 13th", but it might also have been washed away (and then...

I have been dying to get out on the slopes this weekend! It is killing me! Unfortunately, I am getting my windows and siding done on Monday so this weekend has been packed with trimming back the hedges, pulling off trim, installing nailing strips for the under side of my porch overhang, etc...

First, let me start by saying I have been using the tools on AZ for the past year but just started looking at the forums in the past couple of weeks. I love the site and am happy to be skiing again (I took about 10 years off from skiing and just started again last year)! I am fired up to hit the...

I am not sure if you are aware (since there aren't too make reports to look at yet) that there is an error on the Ski Reports page. When I click one of the states to see the report I get the following: Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server...
