    POC Skull X Race Helmet - new, small, black $150

    I have it on eBay, if anyone is interested. This would be great for a kid. I got it for my daughter on eBay, but it is a bit too snug. Measure well. POC size chart says 53-54 cm head circumference. Free shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=16072202085

    (half)Rockered skis: Bogus?

    It was demo day today at Belleayre, so I skied those most of the day. I wanted to try this half-rockered construction - it isn't really full rockered like for powder skis. I think the skis I demoed were Elan Waveflex xTi Fusion. They didn't really wow me. I like slalom race skis, and the...

    Belleayre 1/7/12 - April is, like, here...

    As usual, I know nothing about the green trails below Overlook Lodge... Virtually no lines at Lift 7 and Tomahawk. There was a tiny bit of a line at Superchief. The snow was good spring-like skiing the entire day. I didn't ski Roaring Brook or Onondaga. O yea, Roaring Brook is open. No...

    Belleayre 12/27 & 12/28

    Have been lapping Onteora and Wanatuska a lot for the past few days. The skiing is good, for what little terrain there is to be had. On Tuesday, coverage on top of Onteora was getting thin, and I took some Ptex off my ski when that white granite looked a lot like snow in the flat light before...

    Julia and Lance?

    From Julia's Twitter: Wondering if "take some ski runs" is an Aspen celeb euphemism... and from Lance ...nah - Lance is a family guy now - he redirected pretty well. Stronger man than I in so many ways 8-) BUT checkout Julia's Twitter Profile Pic..... Mid 1990's?

    Adirondacks?

    Don't hear much about Gore Mountain here. How are things up there? I need to prepare my daughter's race skis properly. Leaving tomorrow. Should I drive the Mazda3 or the AWD Honda Pilot?

    I skied Hunter Mountain today. The snow conditions were excellent on the front side (I never got over to the west side.) Light was a bit flat, but wit no wind and temps from about freezing to 35, it was a nice day. Started skiing at about 8:45. There were no big lines until about 10:15. The...

    What's Up With Holiday Mountain, NY?

    Fortunately, my daughter is racing at Hunter on Saturday. Unfortunately, she is racing at Holiday Mountain on Sunday. What is it like there? Is the vert like 400 ft.? Is it worth even bringing my own skis? Will they let me do a long run or ride my MTB around the slopes instead?

    He did it! Had to watch it online in Italian while stupid NBC/ESPN showed snowboard-cross qualifying rounds. Now most of America will have to see a few DH runs, most skiers edited out, between figure skating... http://twitpic.com/13g5wm http://twitpic.com/13gdky :beer:

    Belleayre 12/31/09

    Happy New Year to Everyone! This was a stellar day with wonderful snow, temps in the upper 20's, snow falling all morning, lots of friends & family, and no lift lines. There were seriously the best conditions here all winter, so far. The snow was building up and it stayed light and fluffy all...

    Belleayre 12/30/09

    Sweetness all around. Great grooming & blowing. Opened Utsayantha and Upper Yahoo. Blowing continues on Area 51 & Deer Run. Guess they are planning on having a terrain park soon - the weekend? - and Deer Run by then too? Finally blowing on lower half of Belleayre Run. It was lots of fun...
