Why don't ski resorts grow hemp on the trails in the summertime? A hemp plant we eat up 3 to 4x the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere than a tree can. Hemp is a renewable energy. It would create more full time jobs at the ski resort Once the hemp plant is harvested the resorts can use it to...

My Dad is 90, he mentioned to me he would like to ski again. He skied till 80 then stopped because he had a hard time with flat light. When he use to ski, he would go up to Cannon a few time per month. He was an advanced skiing. The past 10 years he has lost eye sight in one of his eyes. So...

Has anyone had their ski brakes catch together while skiing? I bought new skis this year and the brakes caught together several times, once in the woods. I ski on a 108 under foot ski with a Look pivot binding. Problem with this binding is the brake and binding are one piece so I can't replace...

Not sure if anyone has tried to secure lodging for Christmas week. I looked on or near the mountain for lodging and it is non existent at all the Ikon properties. I could normally book my holiday week at Sugarbush sometime in November. Not this year. I tried other Ikon resorts and same thing...

Shelter place after a few weeks sucks. Not skiing in New England during the best part of the year(mid march to mid april) really sucks. So I wanted to Create a bitch thread for things you hate about resorts in New England. A couple I have thought of: Wildcats base lodge to far away from the...

When skiing returns(hopefully by the end of April) Who will be left, will anyone reopen? Killington and Sugarbush come to mind right away. But what about some of the other resorts, ie Loon, Wildcat. Will they open if they still have decent coverage? Also I can just imagine what Killington...

Arrived and was on the lift at 11:30 after a morning flight from Boston to Denver. Wednesday we skied Arapahoe Basin, They had about 35% open, but it was a bluebird day and a lot of fun. Conditions were fantastic. More photos coming. We timed this right storm is rolling in now thru...

While we all wait for the mtns to recover from this last event, I thought I would throw this out. For the Moms and Dads out there, Would you take your kids out of school for a powder day? My feeling is its ok as long as they haven't missed much school and the grades are good. Spending a...

If you are like me and won't be up there for the storm. The next best thing is the snowcams. Who has the best cam to see whats going on....Here are a few from me, please add. 1. Sugarbush snow cam(peak) 2. Mad River Glens, base cam.

Just looking at the average highs vs. recorded highs for the month of January 16 and January 17. I ski Sugarbush so I used the recorded highs from Accuweather website. I would assume they are accurate. Based on the average recorded high temperatures, January 16 was better than January 17...

Wasn't sure what some of the apps that ski areas have out there. I ski Sugarbush, I think their app is great. Mtn cams on the major lifts so you can see the lines, open/closures are pretty up to date, can track vertical etc.. Anyway wanted to get other peoples thoughts on other ski area mtn...

Anyone know when this site will be back up and running again? Looks like alpine zone owns the domain so I thought this would be a good place to find out when it will be back up.

With A-basin and Loveland starting to make snow, when is our beloved New England mountains going to join the race? and open. Looks like Killington and Sunday River could have a window next Monday thru Wednesday. Who knows maybe we will have some early season turns on Rime or Airglow.

With quite a few resorts out west seeing their first accumulating snowfall on the season. I was wondering which New England resort will see the first accumulating snowfall this season(excluding Mt. Washington). I figure it will be either Stowe, Jay, Cannon, Wildcat or Sugarloaf. Any what's...

Note, must have a few expert runs off chairlift must have at least 1400+ vertical, can't have a long run-out. North Peak Express, Loon Mtn Heaven Gate, Sugarbush Castlerock, Sugarbush Madona, Smuggs single chair, MRG please add, comment.

Interesting Sugarloaf is making snow today. Got to think its for Reggaefest marketing, but was their a little bit of a shot across the bow to Killington with the "King of Spring" video. Got to love it. Here's the video: https://vimeo.com/161400593
