Locally I don't really have a favorite. I'm a firm believer in the philolophy that a bad day skiing is better than a good day of just about anything else. I'm self employed so getting a day off from my butthead boss can be a bit of a problem.

Other than locally... I've done most of our recent EICSL ski trips including Whistler, Park City/Canyons, Banff and still my favorite, Aspen. This year we're doing Jackson Hole, which I'm really looking forward to.

I did the race program out at Wawa for the past 2 seasons, but I'm tired of the ride. I may try out the BSSC program at Nashoba this year.

I'm trying to skim some of the sections and get a lay of the land.

Hey all, I've been lurking for the past few months and drooling over the idea of the snow falling. I'm a relative new skier and am lucky enough to call Vermont home. I really got the bug last year (which was of course an awesome year to get bit by the bug) and can't wait to get back out on the mountain. I'll probably be hitting all of you up for advice as I go through the process of deciding on and buying my first setup and more...

Welcome vterp,

I too am a new skiier and live just over the eastern border from VT. Maybe I'll see you on the slopes.

Hola Zoners

Hola Alpine Zone,

I am super impressed by your community. I work on healthcare IT and am stoked on the mountains so its good to see so many people using the net to get outside. I am most interested in skiing and climbing though I dabble in snowboarding, ice climbing and mountaineering. Basically this seems like a great place and I hope to hook up with some folks at an AZ gathering. I am also trying to find the best backcountry skiing in New England and find people to hike for turns with. Let me know if your interested in working on this / getting some freshies. Thanks for putting this all together. - Martin

Welcome to the forums Martin!

Where do you like to ski?

 

[Martin]

Freshies

I really like Jay, Wildcat and Burke. I would like to do the highest NE peaks ala the meat-head film. Im most interested in steep tight trees but I am always down to cruise a groomer or two. What about you?

It gets a little cranky in here just before the snow flies ;-). Some threads are crankier than others, just ignore them.... Once we can make tracks, all is well again....
Welcome!

Most of my skiing is on the bump run at the local hill here in CT, but when I get away I like to hit places like MRG, Sugarbush, and Magic.

I appreciate the heads up BillSki. I will keep it positive.

Hi!

Thought i'd introduce myself as Chloe and im looking for cheap deals to Three Valles for this up and coming season!

I found a cheap deal on skiweekends website! Actually amazing, something like, chamonix for 199 for a weekend....

Plus i am off to Mayrhofen in a few weeks....has anyone been?

 

[bvibert]

Welcome to the forums snowychloe. I'm not sure how much feedback you'll get on your request here. This forum is dedicated to mountain activities in the northeast United States.

 

[snowychloe]

Mmmm good point...well...nevermind!....Wheres best to go in USA ?...wot i mean by that is ....somewhere that has everything!

 

[bvibert]

Define everything. Like a resort with nightlife, shopping, and stuff like that, or someplace that focuses on a good variety of skiing?

 

[snowychloe]

Nightlife is a must, shopping im not too bothered at. Lots of activites other than skiing. Im just up for a good time really!

Welcome!

You'll probably get a better response if you post a separate thread in the skiing forums.

Enjoy!
