    Crotched-MLK Day

    Skied Crotched this morning from about 9:30 to 1:15... The temperatures were pleasant in the low 20's and the sun was in and out of the clouds. Started off the day on the new Rocket HSQ from Ascutney... That thing flies! It's less than a 4 minute ride up... They had made snow on a couple of...

    Ski boots on taller people

    I am about 6' 5" and my boots are 29.5 Lange Rx100's. I have been generally happy with these boots besides the leaky toe dam which is hardly a complaint as I just cover it with a bit of duct tape and am all good. However, my question is a more general one. How does the lower rise of the boot on...

    Night Skiing at Ragged?

    I was just looking at the interactive map online and it appears as if they are doing night skiing this year on Turnpike, Village Green, and barnyard.... Can anyone confirm this?

    Wildcat 4/2

    Very nice cut up pow in the morning with some spots still untouched...Tomcat Schuss and Black Cat both skied very nice early on...Quad didn't open till about 11:30 due to wind but Tomcat services most of the terrain so that wasn't too bad. Later in the day, the snow became a little heavy but it...

    Deer Valley 2-25-11

    Had a great last day at Deer Valley today...After skiing Solitude, Park City, and Alta the last three days I was pretty worn out. I woke up at around 630 and checked the road conditions. LCC was closed to cars without chains and I did not feel like dealing with the hassle of the bus. With Deer...

    Snowbasin 2-21-2011

    Skied Snowbasin today. Yesterday was awesome at The Canyons but today was even better. After 50 inches in the last week topped off by 7 inches overnight the snow was awesome.

    The Canyons 2-20-2011

    Out in SLC for six days...Today was the first day and it was certainly a good one...The mountain reported 15" overnight which I would say is fairly accurate for Mid-mtn. There was probably about 2 ft at the top of 9990 and about ten inches at the base. Started the day on the Saddleback Express...

    Sugarbush 1/30

    Skied sugarbush today...Started the day off at Lincoln peak and skied Birch Run...Coming over the first drop, I hit a large patch of ice and took a big spill. Other than that, the run was a decent groomer. I then headed over to Castlerock, I skied middle earth and Castlerock Run. Both were...

    Killington 1/17

    After skiing Middlebury Snow Bowl on Sunday, which Billski covered in his report, I hit Killington on MLK day. I pulled into the lot at around 815 and was on the K1 gondola by 840. My first run was Blue Heaven-The Jug-Bear Cub...It skied well but The Jug is getting very, very thin...I rode up...

    Blue Hills 12/11

    Blue Hills opened today and I went to pick up my pass for racing and I skied for about 2 1/2 hours. They had the Big Blue slope open as well as the magic carpet area. The base depths are pretty deep with probably 2 to 3 feet of snow. The conditions were surpisingly good with some soft manmade...
