Don't mind them, no one pays any attention to them anyway.

Well, then what are you doing here?
Welcome aboard. Please send us some snow, or at least make a sacrifice to Ullr!

You will certainly enjoy the grilling that GSS gets from time to time. More often out-of season than in season. Don't take anything said here too seriously, including snow forecasts! Unless they come from Powderfreak and in that case, you 'd better have a full tank of gas and sticks/board in the car!
Welcome!

Thanks I appreciate it. I am hoping for more snow!! This wintry mix crap is getting old.

you have two choices: you can do something about it (Ullr sacrifices work best) or you can come here and complain about it. I do both

I like the way you think. I will most likely be doing both as well.

If I'm reading this thread correct this is the "new member welcome thread".
Well if such is the case.............I'm a new member.
My name is Steve,I'm stuck skiing ice in the Poconos,I was most certainly born on the wrong coast,grew up on the wrong hill and I can count the number of mid-thigh pow days.
I've been skiing from the age of seven. Snowboard as well,got to break it up it's only 800 vertical. LOL
Have a great winter everyone.

I just realized I never properly introduced myself here on AZ.
I really just started DH skiing again last year after taking the last 20 or so years (mostly) off. I have XC and BC skied throughout that time and have hit the slopes a few times for work events etc. For the short term I expect most of my skiing to be with my teenaged kids, as they are really the reason I started back up. I have quickly moved to "extremely interested" and hope to enjoy skiing for many years to come.
Besides skiing I'm an avid mountain biker, for me the MTB season never really ends, it just changes! I ride in any condition that means more riding than walking (and that percentage doesn't have to be too much over 51% for me to bring out the bike). My current bike is an '08 Specialized Enduro SL Expert, a sweet machine indeed.
I'm a cog in the corporate world, but it pays the bills and I really can't complain, but like Joe Walsh, sometimes I still do.
I'd love to meet other people who like to do BC skiing here in CT, and yes the opportunities for that are very few and far between (sometimes YEARS apart). I think once the kids are up and out (only a few short years now) I'll be hitting up more back country.

Thanks for the intro Jisch. I think I've already welcomed you in another thread, but welcome again anyway.
You should join us for some skiing at Sundown sometime, and for a MTB ride somewhere, though most of us won't be back on bikes until the ski areas close.

new to the forum
Hello everyone...I am new to the forum, and am enjoying all the posts. Meanwhile, I am a return skier (haven't skied in 15 years!!)...so I need lots of help and advice. Where is the best place to go in Maine????

Welcome! Hoo boy, you ask a loaded question. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What level skier are you, what type of terrain do you enjoy and what level do you aspire to? What things at a resort do you need or want?
Btw your question will get more visibility posted in the general skiing forum.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am basically a beginner skier, because I am starting all over again since its been a long long time since I've gone. I am thinking downhill but not steep fast hills though. Something very basic for beginners. I would be renting equipment since I don't own any of my own yet. I am not that fussy with resorts, I am low maintence, just as long its comfy and clean really and offers some food or at least close by.Thanks for now.
