    Zipfit dealers

    I'm thinking of trying out Zipfit liners. Based on the Zipfit website The Boot Pro and The Starting Gate in VT are dealers. Does anyone know of other dealers closer to Boston? If not, does anyone have experience with either Boot Pro or Starting Gate?

    Jay trip - typical best time for Green Beret and face chutes?

    I know that weather dictates this can be different each year but it can't hurt to see if there's any pattern at all, right? I'd like to book a weekend up at Jay and I've always wanted to ski GB and the face. I'm booked at SB in early February and in Utah early March but otherwise open. Is my...

    Mad River Glen this weekend

    I'm trying to decide where to go this weekend and MRG is on the list with Sugarbush and Stowe. Has anyone skied MRG this week and can comment on the conditions? Is Paradise in decent shape? The website says it's open but that doesn't mean it's skiable.

    Ski Monster for boot fitting?

    Has anyone used Ski Monster in Boston for their boot purchase and fitting? I'm looking for a new boot fitter since the guy I used to go to is no longer working at Ski Stop/Boston Ski and Tennis.

    Does anyone know of some demo shops that carry the FX94? I've checked Wachusett but they only have the MX, BMX and LX.

    Anyone been to Mad River Glen recently?

    How are the conditions? I'm heading up to Sugarbush tomorrow for a 3 day weekend and I was thinking of heading over to MRG on Sunday. Just wondering what shape the trails are in given the weather in the last month.

    Sugarbush and Mad River Glen weekend - best time to go?

    I'm planning a weekend trip to ski SB and MRG this winter. I was wondering if someone might know when they're traditionally 90-100% open. I don't want to wait too late in the season to go but I also want plenty of snow on the ground. I'm thinking mid-February to early March is safe bet. Is...
