Jay is reopening Thursday. The forecast is for 8"-12" tonight, 4"-6" tomorrow. I imagine this will be wet, heavy snow but maybe not at higher elevations. Will it corn up by the weekend? I thought I was done for the year after a wonderful weekend at Sugarloaf, now I wonder. Are you still out...

After not pulling the trigger last weekend, and missing out on the 8-10 inches of fresh, I was determined to make it to the Loaf this weekend for my final ski days of the season. Luckily I was able to finagle Friday off from work, this made the long trip from Binghamton much more feasible, else...

I worked out early this morning and was planning on hitting the [i]slope,[i]that's right, one single trail was open yesterday at Greek, Odyssey. Well, I thought I'd better call the conditions report. Good thing I did, closed for the season. What to do? I headed for the Catskills. My...

Bring your valid 2009-2010 season's pass from any other resort. http://www.huntermtn.com/huntermtn/cale ... ay&filter= Heading down tomorrow morning with a buddy of mine from Greek. Looks like there's still plenty of snow, they did get 60" the last week of February. I've never been there, been...

It's been a great week of Spring skiing at Greek. I went into work early Tuesday and Wednesday so I could leave early to ski. I can't count the times I've heard, "They still have snow there?" To which I say, "Yeah there's plenty of snow.", while making quotation marks with my fingers while...

I think I did see you. I remember seeing a group of three skiers heading down the hill ahead of me on one run. I didn't really see anyone else over there either. I didn't want to ruffle any feathers, so at first I stayed to the left of the closed signs. They were plastered with snow and...

I've skied Greek the past two days and tonight. Saturday the weather was terrible, rain all morning with high wind. The afternoon, not much rain,but the wind persisted. I skied with a liftie who was supposed to work chair 1, there was no need to open it. We rode separate chairs so we could...

I hemmed and hawed Friday night on whether to chance a drive into the heart of 38" of lake effect with my "no" season radial tires. The decision was ney, though I knew it would have been a big yeah if I could have made it. Man, I miss my Blizzaks. I'm working on picking up a Subaru. Subaru +...

Sharon, I just returned from a trip to New Mexico. I got in two days at Santa Fe, and two at Taos. Looks like I don't have much to come home to. I was expecting as much. It appeared the timing of my trip was off also as it was near 80 degrees in Santa Fe when I arrived. Santa Fe had not had...

I met someone today who told me that Gore and Whiteface will honor each others lift tickets. If this is the case, I can do Whiteface first, buy a pass for two days and redeem the second day's pass at Gore. Hope it works, sounds like a good idea, especially if the conditions aren't so hot at...

I attended the meeting. The plan is to replace 1A with a fixed quad. A detachable is to start where the learning center is now, and extend beyond chair 4. An access from the top of the hill is to be established with a learning center there. There will be access to the entire area from the...

I was apprehensive to check Whiteface's trail report when I got home, I thought they might have gotten dumped on by the same storm, they got only two inches. My friend who was going to go with me complained about the conditions at Greek last Sunday. I thought they were O.K. The lifties told me...

Hit submit by mistake, I'm spent, here's a few more pics.

I canceled a two day trip to Whiteface, due to the thaw. I decided not to cancel my vacation days. I went to Greek yesterday, the conditions were horrendous. I spent all of my time there in the bar watching the hill. I was hopeful the sheets of falling slush would change over to snow during...

I ventured into the Catskills last season. Bellayre and Windham, of the two I liked Windham best. Hunter is supposedly more hard core than Windham. Then there is Plattekill, if Mad River Glen is more your speed. Plattekill is only open on weekends unless there is a foot or more of snow, then...

I live smack dab in the middle between Elk and Greek Peak, I would love to alternate years season's passes between the two. Elk wants double what Greek does for a season's pass. I foresee Greek's prices increasing with the development of their indoor water park. If the rates are close in the...

Here is a video of half a run down Tamarack, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mmlDVvhv5g , I tried to point the camera back up the hill between my legs, but all I got was crotch. Stratton is definitely tame but when your home hill is 900ft of vert, even Stratton seems big. When I travel to ski...

Made a trip to Stratton several weeks ago during the cold snap, -10 on top of the hill at opening. Bluebird days and a foot of snow prior to arrival made for some stunning photos. It was some of the best, and most scenic, groomed blue skiing I've done. Traffic was so light that trails skied...

I think I recognize the guy in the hut...

When I was getting dressed I remember seeing a high of 40 or so predicted. It was chilly in the morning, mid 20s or so. I under dressed, oh well. The cooler temps in combination with the new snow made for a really fun surface. The snow was very fast, yet not too firm, nor too soft. I think...
