I was asked last summer about going skiing in Andermatt. I knew nothing about it except it was on the Epic pass. Never skied in Europe before. Wasn't even involved in the planning although my wife was which means all Epic pass savings would be lost. Flew non stop Boston to Zurich on Swiss Air...

Great Day , Bluebird sky probably got to 45 degrees. There were twice as many cars at Tuckermans as at Wildcat. Groomers were great all day from the get go. Good coverage on all the main trails. They put in a good grooming effort. It will be good all week. The mogul areas under the HSQ are on...

All the newscasters had their big phony "its a wonderful sunny spring day" smile on this morning as I flipped around TV. But when I got to Sunapee at 9AM it was all clouds maybe 40 degrees. The snow was good. It had dried out a bit and set up last night so it was groomed to good cord. Mogul...

I wasn't sure it would soften so I scratched Cannon plans. I got on the slopes at 9:45AM. The main 4 trails off the HSQ skied pretty well. Ridge and Blastoff softened a lot so did under the chair. The one that looks straight onto the lake not so much. Got to 40 degrees at the summit at 3pm. I...

Two day trip Jay Mon & Stowe Tues. Same weather I liked Stowe a bit better with the faster lifts and better grooming for the morning cruisers. Skied a few glades and some of those tobagon chutes in the woods. Huge moguls on Star. Spring has definately sprung. You can see the snow melting around...
