    How often do you wax?

    I wax depending on how much I ride. Usually after every third or fourth day. I like to do the edges then as well. Always a 2 degree bevel and ONLY wax with bluebird.

    Mansfield routes, etc.

    My advise is don't head out there unless you have someone that knows where they are going (Or follow someone up the boot pack). Use the search button on this site and put in hourglass, hellbrook etc.... and you will find some pretty usefull info. The rest is local knowledge and experience.

    There is some killer BC terrain in between the two as well.

    Hellmets, are they cool?

    Helmets are great in my book. I used to be the I'll never wear a helmet type. All it took was one good whack and I went right to my local shop to get one, now I can't imagine riding without it. Plus it's great in the VT trees where it gets tight sometimes (no branches to the head). Plus the...

    I think Eastern Edge went out of business about 3 years back but I am not positive. Don't know of any other underground east coast mags currently in publication.

    Mt. Snow or Okemo?

    If you are set on Mount Snow or Okemo, Okemo would be the better option of the two. The recently added Jackson Gore area is good for the begginer to intermidiate skier and tends to be less crowded than the rest of the mountain. But I agree that you should check out the mad river valley if you...

    Warren Miller "Higher Ground" 56th Year

    This movie sucked!! I was dissapointed way too comercialized. I expected way more from warren miller, I've seen every one of his flicks in the last 7 years. In my opinion First Descent was a better movie on all scales and you can see that at just about any theatre. Don't waste your time and...

    Thunderbolt/Greylock

    I just did the thunderbolt last winter and it was great. Perfect for skis or snowboard. The hike up is steep and you may need to traverse a bit and do a little bushwacking. The trail head is also not marked well, it's acrost a field at the end of a dead end road. But it is worth the hike.
