Skiing was $$$ when I was a kid too. Times change though. For what it costs my son to play hockey, I can get annual passes for 3 of us at Tremblant, and cover weekly gas; or explore Quebec City and the Northeast US hills every week or two. I've offered up that alternative for 5 years but he...

jamesdeluxe, LOL at your av. I owned that album in the 80s, or was it the 70s...

What the hell. Throw another log on the fire.

Magic Picture Box. Most impressive. You try sometime. :lol:

No kidding, Sharon's posts are all high octane and reading about "sketchy" and taking time to pick through is food for thought.

The talk about NEK lifestyle made me think about Currier's Quality Market in Glover, near Barton. We stayed near there on our first trip to Vermont, and it's quite a store. There must be a couple of hundred stuffed animals, heads and fish in the place. Nice group of full sized mounts by...

That sounds a lot like our home hill near Sudbury (Levack) when I was in high school. 93M vertical, founded and owned by an ex-Austrian ski team member. It was a real family operation and his son now runs it. 4 main trails, a bush trail, and another kinda access trail through the bush, served...

If anyone can make use of it, I have a leftover lift ticket for Placid. This isn't a promo, but leftover from tickets bought at Costco. If anyone is interested PM me. If out of town, I'll mail it tomorrow, or if local we can arrange a pickup.

or 3) looked at weather channel at -12 celcius in the morning, calender - March 22, and 7 foot driveway snowbanks and went back to bed.

Will they take my extra Placid ticket? :wink:

Any of this hitting Lake Placid?

Sounds like a nice trip Patrick. They kids grow up way fast and it's great to get them to new places and have new experiences while you can. Now with the price of digitial cameras and memory cards plummeting your running out of excuses in the pic area! If you're near St. Laurent, you can...

That's what I thought and Lac St. Marie is a nice area. But for a summer place I want a water view and access if I'm not directly on the water. At least Calabogie is on the lake. ....... Have to invite some Vermonters up for a midnight chainsaw party :wink:

I don't think you are mistaken at all. As we know, operations with development plans are not shy about promoting them and there is no indication of any development at all. When Intrawest sold, their press release said that they had made the operation profitable with annual skier visits...

We got the kids and friends out 3 days last week - Tuesday, Wed. and Friday. I can use the same description for all three days: outstanding, and the best conditions in this area I've seen in 4 years skiing here. We ski on piste, no glades, and it was basically packed powder all day. The...

I heard that a guy from Environment Canada was on CFRA a little while ago, and while it's still to far away to know for sure but he said it was looking like possibly 20 - 25 more cm of snow on Thursday. Good for the skiing but for the yards and driveways I'm getting like old Frosty here: I...

Patrick, not sure if you are a Costco shopper but Calabogie tickets are availabe online at costco.ca for $31.79 and $22.99 for juniors, including weekends and holidays.

GPS built into a ski binding. Sell it as a dual anti-theft and ski locator. Maybe a niche market for married fanatics who can find where a non-skiing wife hid the skis.

I saw that thread, understand where you are coming from, but is water skiing on your list of different. :lol: :wink:

We've only been to Edelweiss once this year, od'ed there the last couple of seasons. Looks like Tremblant or Mont Blanc will be a good bet for Sunday or a day at March break.
