Hi! I've finally become a member, been meaning to for awhile but I got pregnant and skiing got pushed to the back burner. I'm a 30something stay at home Mom, lived in CO for 5.5 years came back home to MA to be near family after baby #1. Still missing CO skiing, though I never got the hang of powder.

Hi welcome to the fourm it be great that your here for love of North East skiing and snowboarding.

Hey snwbrdr, welcome to the site! Where did you move to the east coast from? There is an AZ summit at Sugarloaf coming up in February as well if you are wanting to meet the board members here.

Hey guys,

Just joined. Used to snowboard frequently in France and Japan, haven't had time to go since I moved to the US 3 years back... Definitely looking forward to the Sugarloaf trip!

Hi folks. Just joined up after occasional lurking over the past couple of years. We got some nice snow yesterday in southern Maine but it sounds like it didn't make it up to the mountains (booooooooooooo).

Hello! New member here! From Brooklyn and have been riding the east for almost 10 years now, cant believe it took some Boston friends this long to introduce me to this site. Going to the 5.0 weekend in Sugarloaf and really looking forward to meeting some people in this community! So excited to see what other outdoorsy east coasters are doing and get some ideas.

Hi all! Also new here. I grew up in Alaska, but only ever went skiing a few times as a kid. Started learning how to snowboard 4.5 years ago and fell in love with it -- after a couple years of falling and finally figuring out how to turn. :)

Also going up to AZ Summit with a merry band of NYers and looking forward to finally riding in Maine! Will explore this forum and see what tips and insights you guys all have.

Who is this "merry band of NYers" you speak of? Sugarloaf is a long way from here. Although I will not be attending the summit this year, it would be nice to share a ride in the future...

The merry band of NYers, of which I am one, is always interested in ride shares to mountains up north!

Yep, we're from the city. Our friends from Boston introduced us to AZ, and now we're headed to Sugarloaf in a couple weeks! Where in LI are you? Ride shares would be great.

JenyChen is not sharing any rides. Brooklyn people aren't that friendly. Manhanttanites however, we'll offer rides up to Sugarloaf all day.

@twinplanx I'm also a part of the merry band of NY'ers. It is really far, but we have managed to get ourselves mixed up with some Mainers and Bostonites that have us going to these super far away mountains. And we couldn't pass up joining this AZ summit!

I'm out in Eastern Suffolk. I will not be able to attend this year's summit, but there is still plenty of winter ahead... Welcome to AZ, I think you, and all the merry folk lol will find AZ to be a great resource!
