Kinda of in the same situation. Wife and daughter could have no problem with putting away the skis for the year, he says as we pack for Utah. (They'll be into that) She does have a point that some (well alot) things get negleted during the ski season. My son would go year round (and may go to Hood this summer). For me the ideal season is/would be Nov 15-April 15. Beyond that I do enjoy the warm weather and the boat and other activities. I should mention that boat season usually runs May 15-approx Oct 15 so it works out well.

Spring ans the end of fall are tough times for me. I love to ski and hate when that is ending but then soon enough I'm on the golf course and on the boat so its better and then at the end of fall I ahte giving up the boat and golf but then I'm on the mountain so its better lol. I do wish that I had more flexibility for skiing in April but the kids LAX schedule makes it tough to head north and I am a coach on my younger son's team.

that's the wonder of new england. I want to get back on my paraglider this summer, it's my "other, other, other, other" outdoor hobby



That's not me taking off, it was a guy i was flying with that day. I've always wanted to go to the ski resorts paragliding but it's been difficult to get them to agree to let you fly in the summer (liability). Maybe I can talk to them again now

I remember watching hang gliders take off from Sugarloaf when I was a kid. But that was the 70s and when the gondola was still there.

Sundown used to do hang gliding way back in the day... until someone 'landed' on top of the lodge... From what I've heard anyway...

Belleayre posted this on their site today: "THE SEASON JUST KEEPS ON GOING..... BELLEAYRE WILL BE OPEN UNTIL APRIL 10TH !"

They definitely have the snow to stay open at least another week or two. I am hoping they reopen for the weekend of the 16th.

I hope so.

It stinks, but I've been there on those amazing bluebird days with temps in the 60's....and no one else is there. Makes me laugh a little bit because people will be out skiing when it's, mobbed, cloudy and the windchill is -20F.

Kinda silly when you think about it huh?

 

[jrmagic]

good luck this weekend Pat.

Boy, the season ended with a whimper for Sundown. No celebratory last day, no music, no parties, no retro get-ups, no bare skin, and no bare spots in the snow ... at all. Just 100% coverage, sunny and windy midwinter conditions, and a slightly better than break-even crowd.

And no one skiing bumps (although I am OK with how they split Gunny this year).

I can't believe they aren't going to open on Sunday, at least. They could not have lost any snow during the week. Oh well, Berkshire East will be open.

Looks like they tried to push some snow to the base but it just was not enough.
