    STOWE prices: Fraud, Ripoff, or Are They Ever Worth It?

    exactly tony.. that is exactly right...it's why in the end, stowe is the better hedge if the bottom line is conditions and you are not talking about an isolated indivdual event that you can catch the day it is happening.. obviously then jay is on the same level...otherwise.. no way.. not even...

    STOWE prices: Fraud, Ripoff, or Are They Ever Worth It?

    porter is 100% right stowe is the best hill in new england , hands down.... they have it all snow, terrain, lifts and lift layout...80 is a lot of money... i don'e like paying it, but to get the best, i guess that's what is required

    Saddleback Mountain Expansion

    i think crocker has it right. i also think that places like saddleback and burke, both super hills with great terrain, are never gonna be as successful as they think they are. they are always gonna teter on the edge of viability in todays ski climate... burke is kidding itself with these grand...

    Thanksgiving @ Beast of the East

    geoff is real active on another board and makes no bones that he has a lot invested in K...I have given up on that place until they prove they are going to run the place for the reasons why i went there in the first place... geoff has property there.. i can understand him giving them more time...

    Sunday River opens tomorrow

    isn't one of the lame excuses these bs artists use when justifying not spinning late that they don't have enough staff or that the staff has all gone home for the season.... :roll: ...so apparently they can spin early with no staff but not late :roll: .. that makes sense :roll: just another...

    Helmet cam video from Ski Dubai

    i'd have to disagree with the negative slant...i'd be stoked to ski it if it was nearby...excellent op to work on technique and turns....great op to introduce small ones to sliding on the snow so you can bring em to the real hill and have em going right away and not have to waste time or money...
