I do enjoy putting an 07 at the front of the date in the subject line. I have been quite recently and off the boards for the past month due to a new puppy (Ari, a Flat Coated Retriever). Suffice to say, she has been quite a hand full. Besides that, I tend to calm down in June when full hikes up...

No worries. I know what unexpected web site issues can do and the quick need to scramble a quick fix. Always "go" before "show". Hope the unexpected and forced changes are not too bothersome and time consuming for you.

The aesthetics definitely leave much to be desired but nice to see there is a new version of the popular software. Avatar and user info is so different. I don't like it because it is not what I am used to perhaps. We'll see if it grows on me or not.

As everyone can notice from the glowing reviews of other drive-up area competitors of Killington's such as Mount Snow and Sunday River, great customer service and a good product are more than enough to sway people to slightly smaller areas. Sugarbush seems to also have made a push to capture...

+1 But in reality, I do not plan on retiring early so I assume that skiing will not be as big of a part of my life at age 65 than it is currently. I can't see any reason for leaving NH during retirement. The big difference is that skiing would not dictate my preferred location as much as...

Did I read that correctly, that they are replacing a lift that has only provided three years of service? Looks like the high speeders will be more for moving people than for terrain access, which I always appreciate when it comes to high speed lifts.

Exactly. What skier wants to go mountain biking or surfing in the winter? Especially on a powder day. Plenty of time for that stuff during the spring, summer, and winter. While that might not be possible in the dead of winter in New England, it is possible more often than any interior skiing...

I meant to mail those out to you but I think I lost your address. Email that over to me and I'll mail out that CD. Later in the season is definitely doable. I will be looking for at least one day in June. And of course, the annual July suffer fest. So I should have at least two more days up...

Due to various factors, I still haven't fixed up my pictures or posted a trip report, but East Snowfields yesterday were sensational. Should be fine for next weekend for those inclined. Unfortunately, I'll be heading to Florida for business :roll: Should have some pictures posted sometime next...

I don't really notice them much any more. Though, I will readily admit that is because I rarely ski on trail. I think this thread branched from the Jay Peak thread and I never notice the tower guns on Jet during the winter even when riding the lift or skiing Jet or Haynes. As long as they get...

I passed Jay en route to Enosberg Falls on Sunday. I couldn't believe how good the coverage looked on Haynes. In comparison, here is May 6, 2006: http://www.thesnowway.com/v/0506season/20060506jay And May 19, 2005: http://www.thesnowway.com/v/0405season/20050519jay Looks like about twice as...

I appreciate measuring snow quantity in terms of powder days rather than total snowfall. For example, Jay got 10" more this year than last year but last year's season at Jay was far superior to this season, IMO. Total snow fall doesn't tell half the story, especially in the East where snow melt...

Photos are up... http://www.thesnowway.com/v/0708season/20080511gos Some damn impressive coverage this late in the season for Gulf of Slides. The bottom of Main Gully was larger than I cared to go wall to wall for big sweeping turns and I was really trying to crank them hard. GoS may go the...

There is still snow on Wildcat. Particularly the upper mountain trails in shaded areas. Not enough snow to make hiking for turns worth while and definitely nothing continuous for more than a few hundred feet tops. Cannon has much more coverage than Wildcat currently and Attitash has an...

People have their priorities screwed up. :shock: Okay, to be fair, we visited with my mom Saturday evening.

Reporting in for day 50 of the season today for a new one season high. Not bad for a Monday through Friday 8a-5p working stiff. Last two years living in Vermont should have been way higher but I was skunked for two months last year (49) with wisdom teeth extraction and an in grown toe nail and...

This may be "truth" but it is not a logical argument as past results are not indicative of future performance. It also leaves out substantial parts of the equation, specially the rate of climate change and implications of direct links to human activity, neither of which appear before.

What seems logical on the surface that a race of mammals with opposable thumbs and some tools could effect an entire planet's natural climate? Personally, I think any one thinking logically would never come up with the one to one equation. Science is based on measurement of observable phenomena...

One interesting thing that I noted is the changing point of view of the nay sayers. Ten years ago they nay say position was there is absolutely nothing happening. Period. A few years back it was "the jury is still out but I believe nothing is happening". Now the line is "well, yea, something is...

Ah, one of these threads again. :roll: I am not going to enter into the typical two sided stance argument. As Patrick mentioned, it has been done before. And my observation is most people form their beliefs and then cherry pick selective evidence to support their point without reading evidence...
