In reality, the biggest turn-off for me for skiing in the mid-Atlantic in the past 10 years has been the change in demographics and not the conditions. I can get to the Poconos from my house in 60 minutes, so even I can storm chase a little from NJ. The thing that bothers me about skiing in...

Now Accuweather is predicting a cold and snowy winter for the Mid-Atlantic. http://www.accuweather.com/news-top-hea ... 0-14_18:20

K*mart would call that opening day.......

The feature story on skiing at Targhee and Snow King did a great job in projecting the experience of skiing at both hills. I too had an epic powder day at Snow King a few years back and my wife and her family and I had the whole place to ourselves. The other must see happening there is the...

Targhee is a great place to ski. It gets lots of great snow (bring yellow lenses for storm skiing). The terrain is challenging enough for me. You can find some steeps off Mary's Nipple. All-in-all it is a laidback feel like Alta. Even a little more so.. On a clear day (rare) the Grand...

I said that I am flying to Jackson Hole =;, not skiing there. I'll be staying with family in Wilson (at the Base of Teton Pass) and will be skiing TP and Targhee. I gave up on Teton Village when they put the Four Seasons in there. Too much "Bogna" and furry apre ski boots now.

Tony, Thanks for the backup Tony. I was setting myself up for a :brick: . Anyway, the main issue here is $310 to Jackson Hole! Typically, I can find that rate to SLC, but to get from SLC to JAC, a 50 minute flight, can cost an aditional $200 at times. The change / cancellation fee for the...

Obviously, this must be a travel agent forum and not a ski forum. ](*,) Everyone seems to know how to book cheap flights and guarantee epic onditions every time. Frankly, my purpose for booking well in advance is because I have to get my calendar cleaned well in advance for my job. I also...

Man... you guys are in a bad mood. :sabre fight: Yes, the JH trip in early Feb is for family visit as well as skiing. I am hitting Alta / Snowbird in January and then Summit County CO (jumping off a business trip to ski) in late February and then going to Silverton in the second week of...

JUST BOOKED ROUND TRIP FROM NEWARK NJ TO JACKSON HOLE IN FEB FOR $310. CHEAPEST I'VE EVER PAID \:D/

TYPICAL LOCAL NEWS WINTER WEATHER SCRIPT: BRAD: GET READY FOR WHAT MIGHT BE THE STORM OF THE CENTURY. MORE INFORMATION IN 27 MINUTES. 27 MINUTES LATER..... BRAD: WE'RE TRACKING THIS ONE CLOSELY. MORE INFORMATION ON THIS POTENTIAL BLIZZARD AT 11 O'CLOCK. :bs:

Looks like the BLUE states are getting all the snow this year.... poor GOP is going to lose its "base" again. :lol:

Here's the Crimson's account of the story I cited. Correction: Ted Carman was not in the climbing party, but his younger brother Peter Carman '64 was and led most of the highly technical sections of the route. Their Mother never believed that they were dead. Neither did Brad Washburn...

There's some great mountaineering history in the Whites. As you know, most of the ealry American alpinists came out of the NE and cut their teeth in the White Mountains and the GUNKS (Dodge, Briggs, Washburn, etc.) Not to give up too much personal information, but my father-in-law was...

I think that the FA' predictions is tied to solar flares and rust spots on apple trees, or something like that. Kind of like picking stocks...

Just stirring things up on boring day in the office!! I don't mean that. :-#

Maybe I just find the NE boring!! :stir:

Farmer's Almanac WINTER 2010 OUTLOOK: For what it's worth..... :dead horse: -DECEMBER looks cool & Stormy for the PNW. The Great Lakes Look FRIGID to the bone, while the NE looks Chilly & WET/SNOWY. The Coastal SE looks Warm & WET, and the Mid Atlantic Looks Average in all aspects, while the...

My logic is I have free lodging with family in Wilson Wyoming (Jackson) and would only go out if Targhee gets snow by Thanksgiving. Airfare is the other factor. I've flown out for as little as $350 and won't spend more than $450. Nothern Vermont is 9 hours from my home, so I'd rather spend my...
