This a going to be a true New England ski heritage event. http://www.thunderboltskirunners.org/race

I just had to get in one more dig......... :stir: This is a good way to pass the time before the first snow falls....... which will be out WEST! \:D/

Goddam!!! Do you guys sleep? I've been off the Board for a couple of days and this battle is still going. I recently went onto to YouTube and looked at some vids of off piste skiing at JH and it reminded me of the terrain that I love so much (Hobacks, Rock Springs). You can never find lift...

rog, Thanks for the offer. I may be traveling out to Denver for a conference in September and may try to pick up a pair out there. My concern is that I will not get any good boot fitting support locally in NJ. It is not known for it ski culture. Now, cement shoes... that's a story! I got my...

To put things into persective.... I skied with a two kids (20's) in Jackson Hole about 5 years ago who could rip on anything in-bounds or off-piste like it was second nature. One of the kids had a beat-up knit hat, ski pants (I think) covered with duct tape, an old pair of wayfarer sun...

Great response guys!! i ski in a pair of Technica now, but man I wish that were lighter and had a Vibram sole. Can I just order the same shell size and see if it fits, since the lasts are pretty uniform? I have the Garmont Energy [sic] and love the fit. In the Endorphins a pretty aggressive...

I go out to Jackson Wy fairly regularly to visit my wife's family and we only ski Teton Pass with them. (They are proud that they have never purchased a lift ticket and ski 100+ days a year.) I have always brought my own tele boots out and rent fat tele-ski at a backcountry shop in Wilson WY...

That's because the roads are built by the MOB and that means more revenues for the MOB and kick-backs to our crooked politicians. The Russian's could learn something from NJ politics. ](*,)

Sitting in his M5 he says...."You JUST CAN'T LIVE on $500k in Summit NJ. If they limit pay on the street they'll have to bail us all out." I have to say that living in NJ is quite and experience. Bravo channel recently ran a show called "Real Housewives of NJ". That show is complete nonsense...

Maybe the unemployed bankers from NYC will be flocking to Northern Vermont during the midweek..... and spending the weekends with the kids in the Catskills.... that's a more likely scenario \:D/

Geoff, as banking goes in NY, so does the entire City's economic health. There is no other industry in NYC that comes close to Wall Street as far as infusing capital into the local NYC economy. I agree that more New Yorkers may go to the NE than out West this year. Another reason to go out...

Don't kid yourself. I work closely with, but not for, Wall Street. Many of the I. Bankers and structured products guys I used to have contact with are now out of work. They have scaled way back and are in a survival mode. The reason why foreclosures in West Chester County NY and Fairfield...

With the jobless rate at 10% and still rising and corporations driving earnings through "right sizing" because of a continuing drop in business, how will the NE ski industry do in 2009-10 season. I'm no Ben Stein, but I think that we will see a few bankrupties at some of the smaller less...

The premise of my time vs. value analysis was of flying out west vs. driving to Northern Vermont (Jay / MRG / Stowe), not Killington; Vermont's version of "Huntuh". I took the train to Vermont once when I was younger, and it took forever to get to Rutland because it stopped at ever town in...

Up until March I had a pair of old: Volkl P9 RS, Kastle World Cup SL (w MRR bindings), Kastle SGM 215cm, Atomic (Red Sleds) 203 cm, Dynstar Course SL (with the red marshmallow on the tip), and the "creme de la creme" Kneissel Red Stars with reverse camber. We brought in a dumpster to get rid...

That was fun!! :opocorn:

Are you guys sure this site is not a front for the Vermont Chamber of Commerce? In 36 years of skiing, I've done more trips to NVT than I can remember. I learned to tele from Dickie Hall at MRG. Google and Mapquest are no help in this discussion, because neither factor in the delays one...

Obviously, the Vermonters on this thread have never tried driving from Midtown NYC to Danbury CT... That can take 4 hours alone, not mention the additional 8 to Jay. Rush hour in Burlington, VT is 5-5:15, right. You guys are stubborn Yankees, I'll give you that.

:dead horse: I agree whole heartedly that Jay is in a league of its own on the East Coast. Huge powder days that rival anything out West. But it is 12 hours from NYC. I am still a believer that it is cheaper to find a flight out of Newark, NJ (Delta 1044) on Thursday 5:38p and get to SLC...

ADMIN: I'm a repeat offender. Sorry. I'll jump into the other related thread. BBD
