Hi there!!! just moved back to the east coast from Idaho Falls. Lived in Va Beach a while ago, but I've always liked this area (upstate NY, NH, VT!)
I'm a semi-decent ski bum always on the lookout for fresh pow (that's the bad part about leaving the west...). Targhee was my old stomping grounds. How I miss you so, Chief Joe Bowl... sigh... So far Mt Snow has treated me well, being only 2 hrs away from me, though not extraordinarily challenging as far as steepness, the snow quality has been good both times I went. (More than I can say for a few of the closer ones to Albany...)
I dig just about anything outdoors. I love hiking, especially if I can take my 2 yellow labs with me. Backpacking, kayaking, outdoor music festivals, all that stuff. Did I mention I like being outdoors?
I really want to get into mountain biking, specifically DH biking. Looks badass. Went to the World Cup in Wyndham, holy jeesus nutz that shit was crazy. I want to do that! :-D
Since I'm new to the area, I know NO ONE whatsoever, and I work with a bunch of stuffy old men, engineer types. Yuck. So... I'm down for outdoor activities, hit me up!!!
Hi very introduction, and welcome. Do you live south of Albany, and what areas were disappointing so far, some times the east we have to wait for good weather for a while but when it gets good it can be awesome skiing and snowboarding. Also we have Misc. Thread with bunch of summer concerts going on..I highly recommend Hunter Mountain mtn jam this summer has Further and several great rock groups.:beer::beer::beer::beer:

Smartass indeed. No offense intended, just a little newbie hazing.
I was serious about my Gore comment though.

I live in Albany, sadly, in the middle of town. about an hour away from Hunter/Windham. I've heard that this (and last) winter are pretty pathetic for snow so far. I'm used to 'once it snows the hill has snow' kind of thinking, because of the elevation is so much higher out west. It will take getting used to, remembering that warm weather will affect the hills much more here.
Heard of mtn jam, didn't go last year. Did go see further here in Albany last October, whoa that was fun!

Hello there, smartass, I'm known to be one myself. Most folks don't know how to deal with a mouthy chick. Which I'm just fine with, weeds out the douchebags so I don't have to talk to them, haha! (And you can't offend me. And yes, that could be a challenge.)
My pal has been bugging me about going to Gore. Maybe there the next time a good storm comes through.

Try Plattekill when it is fully open, Kingston exit ,45 minutes away to heaven not a lot of snow making, mother nature helps them more then any other Catskills. Never crowed, compared to others near by, lots of deals and discounts on internert and here. Also potterbrothers has deals for them and other near by hills.
I can tell you will fit in just fine :lol:

Scotty, on the other hand, may very well be trolling for dates!:beer:
Just want to see what festivals she might be interested in.
Hello - been lurking for a little bit...enjoy the discussion and have definitely benefited on ideas for places to ski (and when).
35 years old, have lived in NYC for 10+ years. Started skiing around 8-9 yo...grew up in Michigan but lots of skiers in my extended family in NH so many of my early days were at Pat's and Sunapee. Also spent time at the various SE and Northern MI areas.
Always loved to ski but for most of my life only got 3-5 days a year. After a few great trips out west (all immediate family is spread across CO now) and some solid day trips from the city I've become more committed to getting out and improving. Consider myself a solid intermediate, most days are a mix of cruisers and steeps/bumps. Haven't really gotten into trees that much on my own, though it's typically what my brothers want to ski when I'm in CO.
As a desk jockey with a 6 yo I'm primarily doing day trips to the Catskills, usually Hunter though I really enjoyed my day at Plattekill this year. Hit Gore and Magic for first time over the past month and hoping for at least another trip further north and one out west (Summit Co and/or Aspen) before the season ends.
Would be great to meet some people and maybe share a few turns down the line 8)

Hey all,
My name is Luke and I'm down from South Jersey. Learned to ski when I was six. Even though I live in Jersey my parents live in New England so I'm up every other week or so.
I've lurked for awhile but decided to be more active so this is my formal introduction.
Thanks,
Luke

Welcome. Next time you go to Plattekill give a shout. And bring the 6 yo....I hope you've been bringing him/her with you.
My 6 yo was in the woods today.

hello all
My name is Mark and I write from Italy. I am a fan of weather and weather statistics I follow with interest from around the world. I live in Rome, where the climate is Mediterranean, mild in winter and hot in summer, so snow is rare. here because we are hunters of snow, climbing a hill.
hello to all and thanks
