    East coast lessons

    Why are ski lessons on the East coast..most areas way more expensive than West coast? Stowe (yeah I know) 2.5 hour 152.00...thats the same as an all day at JH. And at JH your on the snow a lot more than the lifts. Just wondering.

    Ski the East...or not?

    A lot of people I know out west have around a 108 to 110. Some go for the big ones at 117 120. Like I said before I had zero trouble on 117's in all the condition JH had..but never encountered ice. The Kore 117's are very stiff so they handle hardpack well. A lot of older powder skis were...

    Ski the East...or not?

    Havent had time to post reports. Day 20. 6 at Jackson the rest at Stowe and 3 at Hunter. Stowe and Jay are doing the best in terms of snow totals with 208 and 260..pretty much Western totals.

    Ski the East...or not?

    I like my fat skis..skiing powder for 20 years now..but yes experts can rip it on skinny ones..I'm not in that category. Its like Banana George who can water ski on his bare feet..most people prefer water skis. I had a much better time on my 117's at Jackson in 3 feet of snow than others on...
