Stowe 12.9.16 Chilly (10 at the summit) and windy (25-40) with varying rates of snow throughout the day. Powder and cut up powder and big soft bumps -with wind and snow squall refreshes.Simply a wonderful skiing surface. On natty trails - which was pretty much everything- didn't here a...

Day 1 in the books- spring goodness from bell to bell- bluebird skies and upper 50's at least. Soft and bumpy and quite crowded.

Radar returns Friday night suggested northern greens getting some snow again- so off i went say morning. Lots of untracked on the reserved trails and in north facing trees. Stayed chilly up top so packed powder to relatively light powder up top- ice to rock underneath- mid mountain a little...

Stowe 4.12.15 Arrived 8 am- already warm at base, about freezing at summit. Firm up top early so took few groomers to let the sun do its work. Lord, north slope, nose dive, And it did do its work. About 9:45 or so ropes dropped on hacketts and we dropped in right behind patrol.. Superb corn...

So, seeing as at least savemeasammy is anxiously awaiting sundown trs- Sunday3-15-15- partly cloudy, some groupel followed by intermittent sun, temps in the upper 30s- maybe hit 40. 14 of 15 runs on the stairway. Started softish firm as it never went below freezing, and got softer from there...

Shopping for a junior all mtn for my 12 yo son. He is decent, can carve fairly consistently in good snow on most trails, can really tip em over at times and use the skis energy in decent snow, with ice he is not yet confident enough to consistently commit and get an edge bite throughout- and...

As winter approaches, thought we could use a thread about all the exciting things happening at ski sundown, the MRG of CT...

Surprised no report from 2/13. Day started with light snow and no breeze, warmed up on ledge, shoot out, uncles and hop. All were stellar save hop- which had some very avoidable blue ice fall. Headed to NF, for challenger, jaws and Olympic. All nice and soft with moderate bumps. After lunch...

Pulled a hammy in our annual firm football game last Sunday (cold game on turf-- injuries not unlikely). Swelling (big knot) is down, but still pretty sore with a nice black/purple bruise. My question-- not sure how much you actualy use hamstrings skiing. When I think skiing I think quds...

So- hadn't been to okemo in maybe 25 Years. But they said they had like 5.2 miles open- 4 runs of about 1600 vert each off a hs quad. So there I went. Good day- foggy, soft with mist/ rain. In addition to the access quad and hs quad they had a triple open- but did not need it and closed it...

Just kidding... Let's talk sundown....

So-- have some time this weekend, and am thinking of heading north. If I can only do one day, it will be Stowe (love Stowe in the spring- bumps galore off the quad), Wildcat is too far. However, if I can swing two days, I have two vouchers to the cat- which makes it a nice option. Anyone...

Looking for a day trip from C ct tomorrow (no can do wed due to work). Am looking to maximize pow potential (minimizing taint- or would be looking at the berks) will minimizing wind hold potential. Magic would have been perfect but they aren't opening until wed. Thoughts on an east wind--...

Great Day at the instiitution. Roads were closed by gov.. so traffic was thin (4 of us) to start. Props to Sundown for getting open and the free coffee while we waited for ambulanece coverage and patrol... well done. Vid provides the TR... not much of a powder skier so took me a while to get...

So decided to hit up Magic on 12/30- arrived and booted up and was told the chair would be delayed until 9:00- got in line, and about 5 minutes or so later the chair died for the day. Grabbed a voucher and we decided to drive to Pico-- hadn't been there in maybe 25 years. Arrived and the lot was...

Belated TR from Stratton, Friday 11/23. After viewing ski reports with an eye toward acreage, expected crowds, and nature of terrain/lifts available- headed to Stratton Friday because they had a nice little trail pod off ursa express open with several ways down- and more acreage than most...

So- heres the deal, my daughter, now 11- loved skiing from age 6 on-- last year early season she was hit by a ski racer doing mach 20- nothing serious, suffered a mild concussion- but it really just scared the crap out of her (and me). I was never happier to hear her crying than right after she...

So-- my Kodak zx3 bit the dust this summer... am in the market for a new camcorder-- thought I might get a cam instead that also shoots decent vid-- not a lot out there that is weatherproof in my budget range... I looked at all the sub $500 cams with an eye toward doing both vid and stills...

Okay--so I love my 2008 langes-- best boot I have ever owned. Cost me a lot- but the shop was local and the service was great. Now- the liner is starting to get worn (it is a lace up and takes a beating coming in and out of the shell every ski day) and the cost of replacement is 139. Figure I...

So, had my twisters out for the first time (yikes) this season... long story, but anyway, had them tuned to start the year... had them in ice bumps and other firm spots- they were useless... ran my finger over the edges-- they seemed quite sharp-- is it bad angle? Something else? While I would...
