Do you have to wear a post and sticker ticket all season if you buy a pass?

I think the caption is, “I paid over $400 and all I get is an old sticker ticket with Sharpie writing on it.”

Although bagpipes are Scottish, not Irish.

There are Irish bagpipes as well. Although best known as a Scottish instrument, bagpipes did not originate in Scotland.

I recall hearing both of those points.

If anyone heads over there today please let us know how it was. I'm thinking of heading up tomorrow and selfishly want a report

The distinction isn’t always s great as we like to make it keeping in mind that Scotland and Ireland are all of 12 miles apart at the nearest.

Very true. The Scots and Irish do have a lot in common and, historically, at least one common enemy.

The common enemy that created their “traditions” like kilts, Scottish games, etc…

What a day at today at Tenney. Started riding through chunks and crust around 9:30 and ended at 4:00 tailpressing down a mountian of butter. Impossible to describe how much fun I had but if you're on a skigeek forum then you know what I'm talking about. Are there any other mountains in NE that are like Tenney? Natural terrain, uncrowded, inexpensive, unpretentious etc....? Magic (which I love) is like that but I've got the "Magic just has soul" chairlift speech one too many times.

Try Burke

 

[IceEidolon]

Whaleback also sounds like what you're looking for.

 

[LuckyStrike]

Thanks guys. I'll put Burke on my list. I could hit Whaleback coming back from VT one day. Has anyone skied (what I assume to be) the wind turbine access road? Is it possible?

 

[Newpylong]

Where is this road you're referring to?

 

[LuckyStrike]

When you're on the lift nearing the top if you look to the right there appears to be another peak with the turbines right behind it. There is what appears to be a trail or trails coming down from the top of this peak.

IIRC that is outside Tenney's property lines. I might be wrong though.....

It is indeed, per a previous interview regarding the reopening.
