    Snow Sport Schwag Question

    Okay, my office is co-sponsoring the new Warren Miller Film 'Ticket to Ride' when it premieres in Plymouth, NH next month. As many of you know sponsorship like this means you get to throw all sorts of schwag to the spectators which most of it ends up in the trash. We're already debating about...

    This Was A Way To Start the Day......

    While riding up the cannonball quad today at Cannon with three others, the snowboarder on my left said what a great day it was and he wished he had gotten there sooner. It was about 11:30, I said I had been there since 9:30, and the older skier on my right said that normally he's first on the...

    Loon Trail Modification

    As well as adding two new trails on south peak (twitcher and jobber) this season, Sunset had the island of trees removed and the top grouping of trees on Cruiser has been removed too. From what I understand it was done to make snowmaking easier

    Knee Question

    Sooo, let's say you're at work and you go into a half squat type position. This position you may do a hundred times each shift. Except this time when you're standing back up it feels like your knee cap is about to blow off followed by a sh*^$ad of pain forcing you to put all the weight onto...

    Sunday River 2/28/11

    Wildcat 1/17/11

    What a difference a week makes! This last snowfall has given the boost Wildcat Mountain needed! Last week only trails that had MM were open, and wind kept the summit chair from operating. This time Wildcat’s 2112′ (ahh, that song just started in my head), of vertical greatness was for the...

    Mother Nature is being sweet to the north country today! Storm moved in sooner than expected as I made my way down Route 49 to WV.

    Texting and skiing....

    Meant to post this a while ago. Didn't think it would happen to me but it did! On Wednesday during Xmas vacation week we were at Cannon, while shuffling my way into the Peabody Express line, a young lady who was doing the same started to run over my tips. She stopped immediately, corrected...

    For the Loon fans, Cruiser on South Peak has T2B snowmaking going on right now. Pretty cool to be in downtown Lincoln and see all the guns blaring away from summit to base! Snowmaking going on North Peak and many other areas to patch up what the evil rain did
