Granted, there isn't much snow left, but Killington was in great shape nonetheless over the weekend. Saturday was warm as toast, and Sunday we were treated to probably 6 inches of fresh powder that fell pretty much from 8 AM to 3 PM. It really dumped after lunch. The skies cleared up just in...

I've got a question for you Suunto S6 users. I've had one a little over a year, and on three separate occasions, when I recorded a day-long log, all I got was about 8 or 9 minutes of gibberish. For example, it thought I skied 8 runs for a total 3500 ft, from 8:15 AM to 8:23 AM. The first...

Thanks for the tip. It's going on the calendar for next year to keep an eye out for it. EMS has some good clinics too, from what I can tell, and I'd like to check them out sometime.

I noticed from Killington's trail report that a lot of the diamond and double diamonds are closed, so that's about what I expected. We're taking it day by day.

Anyone have any knowledge or crystal-ball information about Killington or Jay? I'm thinking of taking a weekend at K the 21/22 March to try a telemark clinic - I thought it would be a good way to try it out. I've skied XC for nearly 40 years, and alpine for 6, so it seems like a reasonable...

Fantastic TR, Thanks! I spent a week at Heavenly two years ago, when the canyons were closed for lack of snow, and Oswego, NY was on CNN getting 8 FEET of snow. Go figure. If your Rochester crewmember would like a traveling buddy from the Roc, just give me a shout. I'm not a well-practiced...

Oops, correction. Sorry Chris, didn't notice you had Bristol and Swain on the list.

No one visited Bristol Mt in NY? I didn't notice if Swain or Hunt Hollow was on anyone's list, either. Those are the three closest to Rochester. My list would be embarrassingly short compared to all of yours, so I'll stop now. Tom

Hey, I'm just glad you weren't injured. Saturday we went to friends in a crowded section of town where no one bothers to clean the sidewalks (or streets, for that matter). I parked some distance from their house, and I must have looked comical trying to get down the street, gyrating and...

Admins, I have a dumb question, I suppose. I'm trying to view some of the videos, and I get the video box appearing with a YouTube logo and a 'start' triangle, but none of it does anything. When I right-click and select 'view source', here's what I get: <div id="imageContainer"><img...

That's funny; I never noticed the Google/Goggle either. It's like Paris in the the spring, I guess. Good point about the cost of the eye wear, Harvey. Now you got me all worried about killing my $400 glasses! I do like the idea of the exchangeable lenses. I did have a pair of rose-colored...

Maybe because a guy is less likely to ask a woman to 'Hold my beer and watch this!'

I think you guys are both much more experienced than I am, but I always wear sunglasses or photogreys, so I'm accustomed to using different tints. I'd echo Sharon on the preference for one of the ambers (I'd go with the amber shield, personally). The brown might be interesting. I've had both...

Pam, I'm not qualified to answer your question properly, but I doubt it will make a big difference. I will say, however, that you are one swell friend! Tom

For 90 guests, it's possible that the resort is offering the organizer free lodging and lift tickets, which would decrease the apparent discount for the others. Tom

Harvey, I can't find any mention of Li-ion in the manual, but I think those are 1.5V, so I don't know why not. The manual won't let me cut and paste, unfortunately, but they specify either Alkaline or NIMH, (Canon brand of course!), or Ni-Cad, although they do state that 'performance is...

Maybe we should rename this thread digicams for skiing or something. I bought a new camera last year, mainly for skiing. My last camera had no viewfinder, and that IS a dealbreaker for me. Here is the list of my requirements: Pocket-sized Good optical zoom Optical Viewfinder Common...

Thanks for the great pictures of the Southern Tier, Sharon. I sent the link to my wife, who likes your pond picture so much it now graces her work computer's desktop. Tom

Beautiful foliage, thanks! The trail looks like fun.

Thanks, that's a great site. I particularly like the 1969 map of Bristol Mountain in NY (my home hill). I'll upload a new one as soon as I'm registered. There is a new trail that's not shown on the current map. Great work! Tom
