OK, we've got over 1000 lurkers on this forum. :smash: Belly up folks and post some TR's! :beer: This ain't no private forum! :argue: We need all the TRs we can get, so we can all scope our our next one. How about Pico, Loon, Pats, Middlebury, Whaleback, Purity, Gunstock, Bromley, Whiteface, Jimny? Anything is fair game here. Need to get a handle on how every area is doing. I'm sure many of the readers don't think they can live up to the talk posted here. who cares! Lots of people I've met come with families, older, younger, newbies, oldbies. Let's hear about it and get some perspective. Who cares that you didn't huck cliff or get lost in the woods. It's all about having fun. I'm interested and I'm sure lots of others are too. Have at it!

Thanks to all those who posted their first TR this season - you get a GOLD STAR on your forehead!

the reason that I don't post reports is that they would be too redundant ...
as I prepare to head out the door for my 93rd consecutive day, I can tell you that most days are better than others, but getting out and making turns is always worth it for me ...
I chuckle under breath at some of the reports, as I realize that some folks are either too spoiled or just not capable of having a good time under all conditions :roll:

welcome to the real world :roll:. Once you get over that you'll find you can enjoy the company of most everyone! Not really sure why you're here then.

If you look at a bunch of the lurkers, they are google bots, Yahoo slurp spiders and other such search engine creepy crawly things.......I doubt that they have much of a TR to post. But then, who knows what kind of sweet story a Slurp spider has in its web. :beer:

Like to see some outlier reports, instead of the usual suspects. Being an explorer, I'm always interested in new venues and perspectives.

Lyman Orchard doesn't count because it was a bunch of park rats sliding rails. :lol:

There are a helluva a lot more areas in the NE than that. The ones you mentioned are the usual suspects.

For starters,
cranmore,
attitash
balsams
gunstock
jiminy
thunderbolt
whiteface
tenny
mt. abrahm
king pine
granite gorge
waterville
whaleback
pat's
cochran's
greylock
ascutney
smugglers
greek peak
Cocainge
Peek n peak
Bristol
Gore
Titcomb
bosquet
bradford
catamount


SOMEBODY is going to those places. The world is big and things change a LOT in a couple of weeks. A 2 week old TR in NE is not much help.

Shall I continue?

No 2knees, I never said that. A first hand report beats a resort-fed consolidator and provides an independent source of data outside of the reach of a resort. Do you want a specific time interval? That's not what I asked for either. I did clearly state that 2 weeks ago reports are stale data. Anything more recent are useful data. Daily? I never said daily.

I don't see how you could possibly draw a conclusion like what you just stated. I was very clear indicating the number of resorts that have no reports at all for. I never suggested I needed them all. Of all people you must know that conditions on one mountain are not necessarily the same and you can't necessarily draw conclusions about MRG when talking about Sugarbush. Mountains do their own thing.

I don't think frequent TR's from my 2 hr. Hidden Valley sessions would be that interesting. Of course I'm not a lurker if that's who you are referring to.
