Personally, I gave up bringing my own skis out West a couple of years ago. The airlines are too unreliable! I do leave a pair of big mountain skis with family in Jackson Hole, but if I'm going to Utah, I always demo. It's not that expensive and you can get the ski that best suits the...

I skied my new Dyna Mythic Rider (178s)once last week on some good ol' east coast hardpack and they ripped everything up. They are more stable than the 8000's I skied last year and were just as quick edge-to-edge. Since then I've been spending most of my time on my tele gear getting my 3 year...

Let's not jinx this good thing. We should all just thank the Snow Goddess before she shuts down this productive weather pattern. Thank you Suzy Chapstick!

Peter Berle passed away last week after suffering serious injuries in an accident last summer on his Berkshire County farm . As Commission of the NY State DEC he was a major player in making sure that the highest peaks in the Dacks will always be open to the public. I've attached his NYT Obit...

You can also ski at Petersburg Pass outside of Williamston MA (@ 4 hours from NYC). It's an old ski area that has some fair open terrain and is easily accessable from RT 2. You have to get a few good snowfalls on it to cover, same for the T-bolt on Greylock. Also, I'm not sure whether the...

The HERTZ car rental at Jackson Hole is a privately owned franchise who rents Suburus (approx. $149 per day).

Snowboarder generally get a bad reputatuion because of the "East Coast" experience. East Coast and West Coast skiing are different experiences from many levels, but one is the confined spaces in which East Coast skiers operate and the "blind spots" inherent to the snowboarding stance. More than...

If I'm traveling alone or with one other I take my 2004 Audi Allroad. I can lift the suspension for deep snow and V6 Bi-turbo engine makes highway travel quite speedy. If I'm taking the whole family, I take our 2003 Suburban 2500. Tons of room and have never found any amount of snow it can't...

Agreed. I was not clear in my description of a "car";[I]being one without four-wheel-drive or chains. However, I hope that you agree with the rest of my promotion of SLC as a great alternative to overpriced and, at times, less than satisfying East Coast skiing. Even during a dry period, a...

Depending on whether you're toting along the kids, if not, I would recommend shopping airfare to SLC and stay at the Comport Inn Suites in Midvale, UT (at the entrance to the canyon roads) and ski in the little and big cottonwood canyons. I can usually find airfare for $280-325 and a room at...

I skied the 8000(own a pair) last year and was really impressed with its stability and edge-to-edge speed. I skied the 8800 too (demo) at Targhee and found it to be a great all mountain (powder to groomers) ski. We had lots of powder though and I demoed a pair of K2 Apache Chiefs (98 under...
