First of all... why only under 18? If it is that much of an important issue, why not EVERYONE? Rhetorical question only here folks, I think we all can correctly identify the political reasoning for why not adults. What really concerns me though is the potential for liability. The article did...

Indeed, this is tricky as long term probability of good conditions has no effect on the actual result of the next immediate roll of the dice but is simply the long term data. That said, I think I would still go with the probability approach in certain situations. If you are booking in advanced...

Nice report and nice pics! So weird seeing you without your trademark pink poles!

All the better for those that come prepared to earn if needed. Two feet untracked every run with little competition. I guess I will just never understand your aversion to Vermont. I agree that sometimes NoVT can get over hyped and other places can be over looked when they are better (such as the...

Rog is right about the weekend. It is going to be hot and all that new snow is going to mank city and it will be a groomer weekend. But Thursday at Jay will probably be one of the best days of the year. Wish I did not have a prior commitment at work. Two open runs? Rog, hello!!! Two OPEN runs...

Stowe will be looking even better after the foot of fresh that is supposed to fall through Thursday. :bow:

I think the strengthening of the El Nino was what really busted NoNE's winter. Everything was going okay right up until the first week of January where a pair of areas got over three feet and many resorts got one to two feet. After that, it was pretty much all over for big storms excepting one...

I was at K yesterday and thought they had great coverage on non-south facing man made trails. Considering no snow in March and the recent record warmth preceeded by four days of rain and not having gotten below freezing in over a week... they are doing better than most. Many of their trails...

:lol:

My first guess would be there is already a shop there producing a high volume of boards (perhaps so high volume the factory produces more than just Burton boards but perhaps other companies as well) so economies of scale would be in effect. My second guess would be cheaper labor/benefits. I am...

Go for it. The touring trails can pop you out at the Toll House by the double if you take the right combo (requiring a little uphill). There are a number of intersections once on the touring trails but when I did it, I found my way back to the bottom of the double without having prepped by...

Yup. Burke is THE place to be on a windy and snowy day. No crowds, protected quad, surface lift on backup even if the quad does go down, great trees, etc. Burke does not quite get the snow that the spine of the greens does. On a big storm, you can expect half as much snow at Burke as Jay or...

Thanks for reminding me, my passport card application is still in the kitchen. Need to get that submitted if I have any chance of getting north of the boarder any time this season! Tree skiing looks good up there. :D

The seats still have the blue/red colors but both have black pads over the seats so I don't think many people notice the colors. Pretty rare to hear them called blue/red but I think any one that has been there at least a few times could likely pick up on it. Regarding the patrol shack at the...

Nothing to see here folks... just reshuffling the debt it looks like. Wacky world out there right now!

Tony is right on that the rain/thaw/freeze cycle shuts down the woods. But you can not put a blanket number on the entire northeast. Some areas miss the worst and some areas get hit hard more frequently than others. There may even be a direct correlation with how long the woods are open with how...

I have skied trees as early as late October (http://www.thesnowway.com/2006/10/29/sk ... in-october) and as late as mid-April (see previous post). So to say that trees "might" be skiable for a 4 month window is completely inaccurate. It just takes two feet to open up some trees and as my Jay...

Tree skiing can be pretty epic during the first two weeks of April which suggests it can go late some years. http://www.thesnowway.com/2007/04/13/180 http://www.thesnowway.com/2007/04/15/22 ... n-at-stowe http://www.thesnowway.com/2007/04/08/po ... nal-single...

I have scored more good days this season to date than most other years, at least as far as lift service goes, for what it is worth. J.Spin posted a SkiVT-l Mansfield Stake Graph but did not extend it out to the present which is more than a foot over average... You may note that Mansfield has...

I did not ski Magic but am just retelling what I have seen in other skier's trip reports. VT is fine if you go to the right mountains. I just hit Smuggs on Saturday and it was almost in the epic category. The last report I saw from Jay was that daily small snows were adding up in the woods but...
