    Teaching Little Kids to Ski

    We had the good fortune of free season passes to Waterville last year (won in a drawing!), which gave us a chance to get our then 6yo twins out nearly every weekend. My daughter had already skied a handful of times, and my son, who has special needs, had never been on skis. In a lot of ways...

    I didn't see this before posting my question! Maybe it's worth a go...

    Skiing on the cheap - 2019-2020

    Are the deals at the Boston Ski & Snowboard Expo usually any good? I have no idea whether they are any better than what you can find through online sales.

    I believe you get $17 off at Waterville on St. Paddy's Day.

    2016 AZ Summit?

    Oh, that's right. We stopped on the ME Tpk to assist someone whose car had just overturned. Guy with his toddler son. They were okay, but it was terrifying.

    Which mountain do you prefer (Mount Snow, Stratton, Killingon)?

    I like Killington b/c it's big... and size matters. But I like Stratton over Mt. Snow.

    AlpineZone Summit 4.0 - February 8th - 10th, 2013 at Sugarloaf Mountain

    Just got on forum for first time in months, and I'm psyched to see the Summit is in Feb. Been preoccupied, as I just had twins 5 weeks ago. Don't expect to get much skiing in this year (which means it will be a season for the ages), but I hope to make it to the 'Loaf with y'all! Will call re...

    Nice try Killington...

    Where did they have the stage set up? I've been to moe.down twice and was able to watch the show from the deck. True, it was rather far from the stage, but you could see it and hear perfectly fine. Don't get me wrong, I agree that the rule is silly. Let me know when they open a ski resort in...

    Yes. Now I am convinced.

    Denim looking pants

    I thought they looked great on the Olympic team. Never seen them on a normal person. Take it from a woman, they probably have to cost a fortune in order to not look ridiculous. I'll be sticking with my plain, black pants.

    AlpineZone Summit 3.0 - March 30th - April 1st @ Sugarloaf

    Temps in the 30s most of this week. They are looking to start the guns tomorrow. Good news! Now all we need is some natural snow in the forecast...

    Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing

    The book made an immediate difference for me too, though I still have a long way to go. I'm not sure if it's lack of discipline or just that I'd already been using some of the technique, but I was really bad about doing the groomer drills. :-P Thanks for the 'thighs together' tip, SkiFanE. I...

    Sunday River - 3/2/12

    You must have taken those pictures early! The trails did not look like that by the time I got on the mtn at 10. If you can make it to the Loaf regularly, that's fantastic. Sunday River is the farthest I can drive in one day. For me, it's worth the 3+-hour drive!
