Welcome, Hergini Coop74! Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Thank you for such a warm welcoming.

Where do I begin . . . Do I start with how and why I signed up? Na, I will save the best for last.

Well, I have a wonderful daughter who enjoys skiing and she is better than I am. I have only been skiing for three years now and a bit fearful of the steep stuff. I love the groomed stuff. At my age, the last thing I need to do is break leg. :wink:

I am a girl scout troop leader and an Electrical Engineer(construction) for a consulting firm. I also enjoy other sports and activities, too many to list them all. I enjoy traveling and hopefully some day soon get back into going for long car drives.

So, how did I find out about this site? Well, there is this particular AZ member who at times has a corny sense of humor. I am married to him. Can you guess who he is? This shouldn't take long to figure out.

Well, my goal is to find out more about New England ski areas from the users themselves. I really don't trust websites and flyers of a mountain. I am looking for a real good local place that is within 2-1/2 hour drive from Hartford, CT that everyone in my family can enjoy. Ya, I know who isn’t looking for the dream place.

Any comment(s) about Ragged?

Hmmm.... are you Paul's SO? Glad to have you with us! We could use some more estrogen around here! I only have a few seasons under my belt so I understand where you're coming from. I think you'll find a lot of useful information on this site, as well as some great camaraderie.

If you want some opinions on places to ski and Ragged in particular, I suggest posting a separate thread in the Ski and Snowboarding Forum. You're more likely to get a response there.

Welcome, again!

[bvibert]

Welcome to the forums gorgo. Do I understand correctly that you plan on stopping by New England to do a little skiing on your way back to Ireland from Australia?

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Cheers for the welcome folks

Unfortunity I won't be heading to New Zealand until the summer time........I know.

But I was checking into some resorts. I'm planning on heading to NYC for a few days in March.

Is it mad or would it be good to grab a train to Boston, and then a train to North Conway to the Crammore slopes in the White mountains, New Hampshire???

Gorgo
:flag:

 

[Marc]

The only mad part about that would be going to Cranmore. If you're headed up in that direction I'd suggest Wildcat or Cannon, personally.

Yup, hit the 'cat. The view of Mt. Washington alone is worth it.

Welcome gorgo. Where do you live in Ireland? I was in Dublin on business in early August & I'll be going back the last week of September. I had a great time there although most of my time was spent in business meetings. I'm looking forward to going back in a couple of weeks.

Where do you regularly snowboard?

I'd been checking it out beforehand. . . just came upon it I believe through the Sugarloaf chatroom of which I'm a member.

Welcome to the forums!

To get an avatar posted on here you first need to get a picture and size it appropriately (no bigger than 100 x 100 pixels and 30.0KB. Then goto the User CP and click on Edit Avatar. Click on the Browse button, which will bring up a dialog box asking you where the picture you want to use is located on your computer. Find it and click on the Open button once you have it highlighted. Then click on the Save Changes button on the Edit Avatar page and you should be all set.

Let me know if you need more help than that.
