I lurked here for a long time, believe originally attracted by the Skiing on the Cheap threads. The ticket giveaways are what drew me in to post more often. I think there is a pattern there...:oops:

It's interesting so many people are coming in because of the Summit. Hopefully next year we will be able to offer even more trips including the ever-so-elusive "AZ West" trip :)

Found AZ through friends. Was told to attend the AZ summit this year since sugarloaf is my home mountain and still trying to figure this all out.

I guess Im one of these Merry Pranksters. I think its better than being a lurker, just jump right in. Its a little intimidating to understand the format since ive never been a commenter on anything before, but im getting the hang of it. And I'm going to annoy everyone all season asking about various mountains. Living in BK you dont have an allegiance to any one mountain so its great to read whats good all over the place. This year Im hitting up Stratton, Killington, Sugarloaf and Stowe. I would love to get a Gore and an Okemo in there if possible. But seeing the variety on here is making me want to stretch out even more.

Actually in a very weird way. I was at loon saturday and while we were talking about ski trip a bearded guy told us we we should check out alpine zone and join their trip next weekend to sugarloaf. He told us this is a sick community (his words) and so here I am ;)

My friend got to know this community and you know how it works: he called me about 5 times in a day in order to make me surf the AZ site and eventually register me for the upcoming trip to Sugarloaf. I am doing it, right now. Other than this, I was also considering joining some ski community and getting to know more people that like me cheer up when they see snow!

As for how I got here...
I followed the advice of “Greg @ AlpineZone” on TGR and found this place.





Not really :-D


I actually was on RSN and Firsttracks for a while until RSN closed up its forums and FirstTracks kind of became too western centric.

AlpineZone was growing and a guy I worked with was posting here too. I logged in and haven't left.

Sugarloaf has been at the top of my list since I jumped back into the ski world last year, and I can't wait to finally experience the Loaf. Looking forward to this Summit, and many more to come!

I was working on building a ski/snowboarding web site to aggregate data and sources (tired of bouncing around) and came across Alpine Zone!

I used to participate in the TGR forum and the one at epicski (which is now part of onthesnow). Onthesnow seems to be sucking everything up.

Eastie!
Friends in the neighborhood (East Boston) who I rode with in Killington Last weekend. One of them (JonD) is a forum member. They had someone drop out from the AZ summit at the last minute and I jumped in!
