My high school ski club is already planning our big trip for next year. We're pretty much set on using this hostel http://www.roundhearth.com/, because of good recommendations, ease, and pricing. Now we need to decide - Stowe vs. Sugarbush. We'll get 3 days of skiing (2 midweek) because we...

I agree... helmets are a tool. They help... alot. But they are not the end all be all and they DO NOT PREVENT NECK AND SPINAL INJURIES. One down side about helmets is sometimes people put them on and they feel invincible. I still think the positives outway the negatives, personally I always...

It depends on the helmet. That's why I like my giro 9 - I don't loose hearing or vision (I know some of them I tried on I did). One other thing that most people don't think about is with most goggles you loose about 20% of your peripheral vision - I know when I'm skiing backwards I never have...

No flames.... I'm in the park alot, and when I'm not I usually find a way to get air on the groomers. If I'm at a mountain with glades, I'm there. And if there are real bumps (ice and slush just aren't any fun), I'm skiing them. I do see your point though that while I think helmets tend to...

Wintergreen was the best I've ever skied it (and I'm there almost every weekend). After the big january warm up they've been making snow non-stop for the past 4 days (haven't gotten above freezing) and everything but lowercliffhanger and half of turkey shoot was open. On Saturday about 5-6...

While helmets may not be "cool" I agree they're essential, and you can make them cool with phunky stickers... I won't ski without one. I like the park, I like air, I even grind rails once in a while, and I don't understand all the people in the park that grind on METAL or go for big air and...

Does anyone know how things should be looking for this weekend in that region (fri, sat, sun)?

The eyes really helped. One other thing that may have did it though was I teach adapative skiing, and we had a clinic 3 track clinic saturday morning (one ski, 2 outriggers). After 3 tracking I got on my skis, my freind video-ed, my upper body was much straighter and I was carving way deaper...

Thanks so much, I will work on both of those things this weekend.

To give some background about my skiing - I've been skiing for 7ish years, starting to get serious about it last season (12 days) and really serious about it this season with 16 days so far... going for 30 (teaching adaptive had made these the 16 cheapest days I've ever skiied). I started...

I just started a ski club at my school high school this year (TJ). I organized two trips for our first year, this day trip and an overnighter to WISP. The crowds weren't too bad. There were a good handful of out of control idiots like always on the intermediates, but on the expert part, no...

Just came back from a day trip to whitetail. The green was a tad icy, the blues were fun with heavy manmade "powder" and some bumps developing later in the day. The blacks - bold decision was defenitly the best snow on the mountain with very few ice spots early in the day and slightly lighter...

I'm confused the lifts are running but on the site it still says the snow school is closed as well as a lot of shops? Do they need to reach another agreement to open these up?

Early Sat morning, conditions started out great. Nice and cold weather made for some good fluffy man made snow. They only had one slope open (green - upper/lower dobie), not sure why they didn't open eagle, but starting this early this far south was a blast. They had nice mounds even after...

I just saw higher ground today (in high def I might add...) at the local dc ski expo. Awesome movie - and I got a free lift ticket voucher for watching, plus I got another lift ticket voucher just for going to the expo and a free subscription to ski magazine. I also scored a $20 gift card to a...

Quite and sober I can almost control. Fornication ehh.. that's a little harder - and it's fun haha. Well as long as they use protection, there's no proof, and if they don't well I have 9 months to get out of town before a dad comes after me with a pitchfork... In all seriousness, I can't stop...

Haha... On most trips I'm the one sneeking to the girls rooms at 2 AM, so I know some people will find a way around the rules, but I also know all the tricks. However, since I'm the president of the club, I have to be responsible and enforce rules if I want to keep this club going, and keep the...

We almost filled (and probably will fill) a 57 person bus for our overnight trip. Right now we have 5 chaperons for 47 kids. I have to mail the deposits in to the tour company Tuesday - so I need to know if I should desperatly recruite chaperons this weekend. On the flyer/form I said a...

To recoup costs of empty seats, we're planning to open up the trips to youth groups etc once I have deposits from everyone from my school if we have any empty seats. I was thinking about it and decided to open the trips up to first tracks members in the DC metro area. More information on our...

Should I require the seal of a notary public for the waiver?
