Hi there Rebmarks. I've seen sit skiers out in the past and it's really skillful and impressive.

I hope you track down an extra ski and get some good snow this winter.

 

[Mildcat]

Welcome Rebmarks! I've been seeing more sit-skis at Sunday River this year. I honestly don't know if I would have the courage to try that. It would be interesting to get his perspective on some of the threads on AZ. Maybe you could convince him to post on here?

traffic cop??? For the liftlines??

 

[Corral Cop]

well I was there yesterday at Ragged Mnt. and lord that traffic cop is a hoot. She runs a tight ship putting 6 people at a time and not taking any crap from anyone. The music was playing and the dancing was great. I have to give her credit her smile and happy disposition kept everyone in good spirits even when the chairlift came to several halts during the day. I have been to many resorts and I got to give it to her she is wonderful.the lines never lasted long for she put us through as fast as the chair would let her and the whole time a smile and giggles from her face. It was a treat not feel like a number like you do at most resorts. "Hats off to her "

Welcome aboard. sounds like a video is in order here!
Hey, I'm on my butt more and more as I stretch out into the woods more and more. As long as you've got the right attitude and you're progressing, the butt-sitz method is very instructive, one which I excel at, now going on 31 years at it.

 

[Corral Cop]

Billski, I am glad to know that the Butt- sitz are among even the long time riders. I like it and when you get the rythem it is awsome. I am not good when it is icy. but I got to give it to Ragged that the grooming was good and we had a wonderful time.

 

[Corral Cop]

BillSki . Yes I think a video of her when she is doesn't even know that it is being done would be a great thing to see. We where there again today . We talked about her last night at dinner time. She is something special. Again 6 to a chair and dancing all day long. what energy this woman has and how gentle she is with the children. I noticed that many little ones knew her name and said good morning to her. She answered everyone of them . What a family friendly ski area Ragged Mountain is. Everyone there is very pleasant and helpful.anyone that has not been there should check it out.

Hello fellow passionate skiers,

I am just a typical 20 year old student from the flatland's of Ontario, Canada. My home mountain is Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario with very limited Vert and terrain variety. I trek out to the Northeast regularly to ski,Mainly Vermont, often bumming it out with friends and family. My favorites include Stowe and Sugarbush which I try to hit a few times a season. Skiing for me is all about the enjoyment. When I'm ripping down a tree shot in knee deep powder or casually cruising down a scenic groomer, everything about it feels just perfect and I always enjoy simply being out there skiing and never take myself too seriously. I'm just a guy who loves to ski the east as much as possible and am always looking for a challenge and to push myself further and further. Hope to get some sweet trip advice from the AZ crowd and meet some people to ski with who can show me what the east is all about. Take care, enjoy your season!

Just saying Hi,

I stumbled across your site and decided to drop in. I've probably seen some of you before at Berkshire East, I've been skiing about 55 years and on B.E. Patrol for 41 years..........yes, I'm old now :beer: :wink:

I go out to CO a couple of times a year to ski with my daughter's family and to feel real snow (5 more weeks to go).

I love everything about Berkshire East, location, mountain, uncrowded slopes (wish they were a little longer), people, co-workers, it's all about skiing :wink:

Thanks for the great site,

 

[bvibert]

Welcome to the forums Ritt. Plenty of BEast fans around here. Great mountain!

I've been a Magic passholder for the last 7 years or so and get up there whenever I can which this year is looking a lot more like 20days as oopsed to almost 40 days:sad:. My 2 kids have grown up sking there and have really come a long way.
