Whaleback

Hey there, just here to say that Whaleback is on its way of reopening, and will be reopening mid-december, time permitting. They have already started to make snow, and its building up on the mountain. THey are still under some big construction projects insider the lodge and the rental place, but they hope to be rapping that up soon.

I will be a ski instructor in the Mountain school at Whaleback, and im really excited to see it open up again after being closed for four years. :beer:

skiing

thanks, i usually ski either Sunapee or Ascutney. Now that Whaleback is opening though, and i get a season pass, ill probably be skiing there mostly.

I'm kinda surprised that Whaleback, at last check, was not listed in SnoCountry :-? I'd think they would want to be in there...I know that the Boston Globe has given them some good publicity. I imagine they are blowing snow at the Whale as I type...at least I hope they are...

 

[thetrailboss]

Hey Greg how about throwing the Whaleback into our Profiles Page?

 

[VB]

Yeah, i noticed u guys didn't have anything up yet for it. If u need info, ill try and help u out. Cant wait to ski on Saterday there though, we have on snow training that day.

Whaleback has by far the crappiest website of any I've ever seen.

:-? No snowmaking when I drove by today????

They were getting the groomer warmed up for tonight though.

I concur with the website...good start, but get a snow report on there.

Lebanon Outing Club was blowing snow today.

Wow, I just saw that. So your teaching skiing but bought a pair of skis not knowing what they are for or what they were. That kinda scares me. I dont think I would ever take a lesson there

Also, is whaleback going to be like a giant terrian park or what, because it is pretty much going to be a freestyle skiing scene. I think thats a pretty cool idea actually, some many park skis around now-a-days you think there were would be somewhere just made for them.

 

[VB]

THeres gonna be two parks at whaleback i belive, and yes there is going to be alot of freestyle skiing, but thats not all though. There hopeing to add a couple more buildings in soon.

 

[thetrailboss]

Gotta start somewhere I guess...maybe someday he will be writing for SKI or SKIING.

ya that website is very sad.

 

[VB]

I gatta agree with ya on the website, it is pretty sad, the website for my high school that my class is building is far better than theres, its not up on the web yet, but it will be soon.

THe guy that sold the skis to me didn't tell me much about them, Ie been skiing for about 7 years now though. First shape skis, cant wait to try them out tomarrow!! :beer:
