They really jumped the gun on blowing snow. I get the excitement and pressure to produce for the World Cup, but someone must be capable of reading a weather report over there. Either way, weather is looking great for next week with the potential for a few around the clock days.

Pretty rad stuff, fully customizable and definitely cool to ride something you built yourself. Basically the Grain Surfboards of snowboarding. http://powderjets.com/ Met the owner while up at Ragged the other weekend - had stints at Burton and was also the photo editor at Transworld back in...

This combined with feeder resorts closing. You see mountains getting smarter about it though. Mount Snow offers their college pass deal until 24 or 25 I beleive. I also think resorts are working towards more package deals.

The industry doesn't have a general target market, each mountain does. And even then, each mountain focuses on the specific skier/rider types they actually stand a chance at marketing too.

Could be worse, looks like they may have escaped the worst of it compared to NNE resorts. Heading up from Portsmouth tonight and hoping for the best.

Were you up there when it switched to rain? Wondering how bad they got hit. gin a transitional day. In such circumstances, our grooming process takes two to three times the normal working time. Several sectors, including all our glades, will remain closed and we will concentrate our efforts on...

Does anyone who has more meteorological knowledge than I have an opinion on the snow totals for Sugarloaf/Sunday River area vs. Wildcat/Cannon? Trying to decide where to go, even though it's really going to be great everywhere.

Knee jerk reaction, I'm surprised someone so close to the sport would follow through with something like this. An infrequent skier might follow through with a suite, but you'd think she might appreciate everything Killington does for the area, New England ski industry, and general health of the...

Doubt I'll get too much support here, but for those who had it, it looks really similar to Amped 2.

Anyone else think K might be starting to sweat it with only a few weeks left until the World cup? I know there's time for patterns to change and definitely a few cool night scattered in-between, but from what I read on other threads they'll need a few days of 24 hour snowmaking to get it up to...

Exactly, if their plan is really to crowdfund in order to get back to operational status, plans need to be available to everyone. If I was skier outside of the immediate economic area it impacted, I would want to see more concrete plans than "zipline here, a lift there, new trails over on that...

I don't know much about Saddleback but they need a copywriter to outline their plans. They sound indecisive and undecided. If I was an investor anywhere beyond local residents, this site wouldn't give me confidence. "Maybe we'll do this, but maybe we'll do THAT."

I know it's the weather channel, but has anyone else seen this report for Sugarloaf yet? Looks like winds will be a problem Wednesday regardless.

I was thinking about heading downtown for it. Any idea how much snowboarding there is in it? Not that I hate ski flicks, but they don't give you the same kind of excitement as watching your own sport.

Killington tweeted at the MTNmeister account June. Not sure how official it is but it looks like they're really going for it this year. Tweet below. https://twitter.com/KillingtonMtn/status/592787212657422340

Dip into that sign for the gnarliest run at Loon. Rule of thumb at Loon, many of these signs mark unmarked glades & slackcountry (black mtn)

The best and most difficult trails at Loon aren't on the map. They're pretty easy to find, just keep an eye out.

Not sure if anyone here has heard of MTNmeister before, but it's a free Podcast and the host Ben interviews tons of action sports athletes. There are a lot of skiers on it and he definitely dives pretty deep into what makes these people tick. Check out Kit DesLauriers, she was the 2015...

Is anyone looking at the storm tonight-Friday? NOAA predicting good snow for Maine and decent snow for the Whites. Obviously if they get hit Sunday with ra*n it's not as big of a deal but this weekend looks pretty good.
