DIN is 12 (I think), I'll edit if different. How much does it cost to ship skis? $25?

I can sell you a beat up pair of 165cm Volkl Racetigers with weird old marker bindings for $125. They ski well, but the topsheets are kind of crappy and they could use a tune. The bases and edges are in solid shape, though (no core shots or edge burrs)

That's not the Local, that's the bazooka. I do the Local and the Pimp Stick.

6 so far. Probably 2 more this weekend, once next week, 2 the following weekend, then a week at Killington. Should have 20 days before the season even really starts January 1st. And my wife has even more.

When I was a kid, I thought the funniest thing in the world was that my grandfather had friends named "Liver Lips" and "Dump Rat". Actually, I still think that's hilarious.

In with the people who have no other lives or purpose. ;-)

Seriously. Obviously you can wait to ski or otherwise, you would have done it by now . . . Maybe the expression you're looking for is: "I want to ski, but haven't found the time yet"

I don't like boredom. And if I wanted to tired "conservative" talking points, I'd just see what was on Drudge today. I think the only correct responses to "oil falls below $x dollars/barrel" on a ski forum are: 1. Cool, now it's cheaper to get to the mountain 2. Nice, maybe fuel costs for...

I'm just trying to figure out when this fucking ski forum turned into RedState.com. Can't you guys take this shit to the TGR padded room?

You're in if you want. Let me know when you guys are coming up. I suggest Late February or March if you want full access to all the trees. We've been skiing deep glades in December before, but we need a good snow year for that to happen.

I will. You will see places like these:

No thanks.

Maybe I missed something, but a "ski off" isn't the same as a Chinese Downhill. A ski off entails a bunch of people skiing a run in their own unique way and a panel of judges to determine the best skier. The best ski off runs in the east are the runs used in the Ski The East Freeride Tour (Face...

It used to be good, but they redid it recently and it hasn't been the same. They don't even let you dance on tables anymore! Yes, keep the skiing thing secret. If anyone asks, Gore is too flat and doesn't have any glades to speak of. ;-)

Obviously, I'm talking about this kind of shuffleboard: I haven't stayed there (just drank and played games), but toured the rooms (comfy beds) and a buddy stayed there. No real issues with families or kids (a couple playing foosball when I was there drinking, but they left around 7:30)

I've stayed at the Hydeaway and the The Hostel and both were great. But another place you should consider is the Barn: http://www.madriverbarn.com/ Recently redone, Really beautiful inside, and the bar has a sick game room with shuffleboard.

Mad River Glen has a great bar. Whiteface is pretty good. Too many bars in redone base lodges are too generic. Jay Peak comes to mind as a place that just doesn't have any soul anymore. I mean, it's got all the things that should make it a good bar, but it's just lacking in the character...

I came on here to say Hickory and Willard: Two lodges with open fireplaces in the center of the room (which I consider to be awesome in this overly litigious world), but I see they've already been mentioned. I would like to say that Royal Mountain, NY has a retro lodge and a trough urinal, so...

First of all, I was 10 years old in 1990, and I remember trying to find jumps and tree trails for as long as I've been skiing. I'm just glad I have more options now (some parks used to be "Snowboards Only" and I got yelled at for hitting the jumps. What a weird time). Secondly, before the days...
