McCauley Mountain, 28" and Counting

[Bosco DaSkia]

Yes, LES bands are very localized, all depends where they set up. You can have 3ft, 10 miles away zilch. Last year I drove through a foot on the road surface for miles only to see corn stalks when I got to Turin.

Not only are McCauley's lift ticket prices incredibly low, check out their shop prices. My buddy dropped a pair of skis off in the morning, picked them up after he was done skiing. The place is what skiing was, and should be, can't gush about it enough.


I walked in the lodge and thought the bar was gone, nope moved it to the other side of the room. Opened things up nicely.

Louie's Olympic Touch - Get your skis tuned up by an Olympian, John "Louie" Ehrensbeck!



This guy is a living legend. He competed on both the Alpine and the Nordic US ski teams. He is without a doubt the best tuner out there. He’s been doing it for more than 50 years now. There’s nothing that he hasn’t seen or tried already. If you are a racer, he is an awesome resource to have on your side. His prices are absolutely insane for what he does. It is worth the trip to McCauley for the tunes alone!

The tune is only half the deal though. That man tells the best stories about racing, the olympics and just skiing in general over the past 60 years. It seems like he knows just about everybody in the industry.

$25 for a full on professional tune and top notch stories about the golden age of skiing? That there deal belongs on the “skiing on the cheap page”!
