    What are we thinking about the end of January?

    Just got a call that a week freed up for trade at sugarbush for 1/26-2/2. I think I was up there the same week last year and it was definitely not great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Where to go the day after Christmas?

    Turns out I have the day after Christmas off and I'm wanting to get out for the first time this season. Sounds like sugarbush has some great snow but I can only think it's going to be super packed that day. I was thinking maybe pico. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New boots

    Finally decided to get some new boots. Went to alpine haus in ct and picked up the dalbello panterra 120. Anyone have any experience with these? Just getting them fitted today they felt way more comfortable than what I've been skiing in recently Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mad river glen 1-26

    Decided to take the short drive over to MRG today as it was turn back the clock day and tickets were only $3.50. My legs were toast from the last couple days but I figured for that price I could do a few runs. There were some definite bare spots but the snow was very nice and there wasn't a...

    Plattekill 3/7/15

    Conditions: machine groomed/crust Went to platty for the first time yesterday. Was hoping to get some runs in the woods but that was not to be.

    Beginner/intermediate terrain at pico

    We're thinking of taking a trip up there this weekend. My girlfriend is a beginner/intermediate snowboarder and I was wondering how the easier stuff is at pico. We went to magic a couple weeks ago and she had no problem making it down the greens there from the top. I've never been before so just...

    Mohawk Mountain (CT)

    I've never been here but was thinking of checking it out with my girlfriend. How does it compare to someplace like sundown? Is it similar in the sense of really quick runs down? The lift tickets look kinda pricey for the amount of runs. Has anyone been lately and if so how are the conditions...

    Thinking of going to sundown tonight

    With the good amount of snow were getting today and a hope that it's still snow up in new hartford I'm thinking of hitting up sundown tonight for some night skiing. Anyone been there recently? I figure it should be at least decent with the approximate 5 or so inches we've gotten so far
