This was not actually what happened. There was an issue, but we were allowed back in our rooms by 10:00. We ran into town and had dinner and by the time we got back everybody was just waiting for the "all clear" from the fire chief. Once that came we were allowed back upstairs. in the end they...

I also went with the gunstock pass. Came to $1,268 for the whole family (2 adults, 2 kids). Some of my friends opted out because the terrain wasn't "challenging" enough, but I figure 99% of the time that I go, I am with the family so why bother dropping an extra $2000 so I can ride "challenging"...

1.) Get somebody to stand behind you and (when you aren't ready) have them push you. Whichever foot you put forward to keep yourself from falling is generally the foot you put forward. 2.) Get a running start in a pair of socks and do a "Tom Cruise" from Risky Business across a smooth floor...

I would love a chance... Thanks!

Just got back from the show with the family. I can tell you this... If you are looking to get SWAG, bring a couple of kids. My daughters SCORED with all sorts of stickers, hats, gloves, shirts, etc. At first we were trying to keep them in check, but eventually we just let them loose and they had...

Now THAT drives me nuts! Especially seeing that we have spent almost $2000 on new gear this year. I am so careful when transporting our gear only to see it completely hammered all day in the lift lines.

I have to say that I (well my family actually) was guilty of this yesterday at Waterville (Luckily the place was a ghost town). We were waiting for Quadzilla, and for some reason my youngest just couldn't time it right, she stepped out and stopped, only to step back and allow not one, but TWO...

I've stayed at the Inn At Stratton a few times. Most recently 3 weeks ago as part of a "group" outing. If you are just looking for a place to lay your head at night, then it's fine, (if your a heavy sleeper) It's a mix of families, as well as quite a few college aged kids who aside from the...

I have hiked Greylock a few times, and if at all possible you should try to either have 2 cars, or possibly hide a bike (locked) in the woods at one trailhead. We have done a trip where we stayed at the Wilbur's Clearing shelter one night, hiked to the summit, and then down to the Bellows Pipe...

I just got back from the Burton Outlet in Wrentham, MA. (Buying more stuff that I don't need) All boards/bindings are 30% off, but if you buy a board and set of bindings together they are 40% off right now (all 2010 models) At the end of February/beginning of March, all of the 2010 boards go to...

Mount Lafayette. I'm not sure how well it would ski. It's usually so windy up top that the snow gets blown right off.

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but Price Chopper is selling two versions of a "Mountain Passbook".There are 2 versions, the "Family" and the "Big Mountain" Price Chopper Mountain Passbook Basically, you get 3 Sunday-Friday tickets for either $109 or $139

A fire is always a possibility, but to be honest most of the "legal" camping areas (at least in the White Mountains) are so high up, finding dry firewood is almost impossible. Not to mention that most shelters/campsites have big "NO FIRES" signs.

What I have done in the past is make sure that when I get into camp I change into dry socks immediately. I have a big pair of wool socks that I pack specifically for this purpose. Doing this will usually wick the water out of the boots and dry them out most of the way. Just before bed, I will...
