Great day of Ski Testing at Okemo today as Atomic rolls out it's new 2014 Nomad series with ARC technology. We had better than average groomed New England conditions with a surface you could set an edge into. My most favorite ski of the Day was the all-new Nomad [S] Temper Ti (173 cm)...

Went back to Sugarbush again today for a repeat of yesterday's performance. Packed Powder conditions and Jester and Downspout skied real well. The guns were off on the lower mountain so lower Jester and Domino was nice too. Sugarbush has started making snow under the Heaven's Gate chair as...

What a great morning to ski with the Sun out. The snow guns were on but easy to avoid and we had a nice packed powder surface. Upper Jester skied real well as did Downspout. Saw a few people dive into Upper Organgrinder which had the guns going but I wasn't motivated to do so. Plan on checking...

As seen on FaceBook "Magic ranked #4 by readers of 2012 Snoweast Magazine as "favorite classic resort" in the east...We're #2 in VT behind our good friends Mad River Glen. Not sure "classic" and "resort" go together though...." I love Magic Mountain don't get me wrong, but aren't they a...

This is the time of year that I'm doing the behind the scenes legwork to get ready for the upcoming ski buying season. The season starts to kick off in mid August when Ski Magazine's Buyer's Guide comes out. We've already tested the skis back in Feb-March and made our buy. All the same I'm very...

In response to TheRabidMoose, sorry I've been busy. I just wanted to report that my wife and I have made the move to Berlin VT. Berlin is between Montpelier and Barre and about 30 miles from Stowe and the Mad River Valley. Kingdom Trails and Burke is about 1HR away and Jay Peak about the same...

Hi Guys, Have you ever wondered what all the buzz about 29ers is about? To be honest I haven't even taken one on a true test ride myself but this Saturday I hope find out. Here's your chance to try out a Scott 29er Scale or Spark on some of the area's most epic single track. We'll have...

Did a little touring yesterday and we've got 4 Ft of snow at the stake. http://www.uvm.edu/skivt-l/?Page=depths.php Looks like we're only about 12 inches below avg for the season. Is Stowe doing a lot better than the other resorts in this poor season?

Great day of groomer skiing at Stratton but a little crowded for a Friday. Conditions were very good but not enough natural snow to ski in the woods yet. Saw lots of headlights pointing north on I91 as I was heading back home! I was also testing out my new Scott Drexler Jacket!

Great day of carving the corduroy at the Stratton On Snow Dealer Demo. This is how we pick out what is going to be in our Ski Rack for next season! Got some help from my soon to be 80 year old father. More on what we tested later! Rolf carving the Cord Wide skis in the afternoon

Last Sunday I went to Ski Sundown to meet with Jarrod Moss, Terrain Features Manager. We wanted to see if two top Mogul Skis, the Hart F-17 Classic and the K2 244 would be easier to ski in the bumps than Jarrod's usual twin tip ski of choice. 35199260

Windy Powder and Packed Powder We got snow, the real kind!! Skiing was great in the morning with a few inches of fresh to play on. Got a little lumpy and tracked by afternoon. Didn't get any of that mixed stuff!!

A great day at Hunter. The Nastar Pacesetting Event was moved to Hunter because the had more snow than Windham. We ran the races on Madison Ave. AJ Kitt was the pacesetter and man is he fast! Had a chance to ski around a bit and even hit Hunter West for a run. Looks like the were making lots of...

1st day on Alpine Gear this season as well as a hard day's work! Temps in the low 30's, overcast, groomed soft machine made snow. Considering what Okemo had to work with, the conditions were very good, with 4 different top to bottom trail options. But trip this was all about the work anyway...
