Thanks all. Sufficiently depressing for my ski bud and family who have committed to SR the remainder of this week.

Anyone heard how conditions are at Sunday River, post-rain? Thanks,

I was there Wed. 1-11 and pretty much covered the mountain. No bumps on "And Tyler Too" if that's the same trail you are speaking of.

I was displaying a bit of sarcasm. At least you, "Admin" is displaying a bit of moderation. I thought I was in an eastern forum, as I was not interested in engaging in one-upsmanship. It is highly doubtful that I will find a suitable monogamous relationship with any northeast mountain, nor...

You guys are sounding too high end for me. We don't have a Mammouth out east and with my family situation it doesn't look like I'll be moving/visiting west anytime. I don't have the kind of money or time to ski 118 areas, so I'll just have put up with wandering around this dump called the...

What a day. It was a good day, albeit pricey, $59 for a weekday lift ticket.

Well kids, I'm back. Stratton it was, and it was worth it - separate thread tommorrow - gotta eat and catch up on the familial obligations now. For those wondering, my ski hat now has 36 pins. Burke came last year. I had not been to stratton before, and one aim in my life is to check out...

Agreed and I'll raise you $0.02: You'll never replace the experience and camraderie of skiing via any online mechanism!

I have observed that for the subset of society which engages the internet, their traditional communications methods are evolving, and so are their relationships with others as well. As much as I appreciate the advantages of keeping things secretive (though it reeks of being "club-by" and gives...

You can read this http://www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/backcount ... rucetrail/ and probably not get killed :wink:

Hmm. That's a good point. I'm itching to run with my new skis, but not quite ready to etch them out. Maybe I'll save the natural stuff until a wee bit later in the season (pray for no rain....) Maybe I'll try Stratton for once. If I don't go now,will it be pretty crowded in high season?

Hello Mr. Crocker, Sorry to have offended you. I have removed the reference but retained the original source credit. Your data was not quoted as the source. I felt that putting the reference in would provide viewers with an alternate perspective. For the casual observer, I did not see...

A ski bud just sent me a note that he was at Mt Snow last weekend and in his opinion, the snow coverage was spectacular for mid december. He had no complaints at all. The last time I was there was 20 years ago. I abandonded Okemo when they took the last poma lift out....

I'm in a wandering mood. I plan go somewhere daytripping tommorrow, Thursday 12/22 and avoid the mobs, get my fix before vacation week wastes the resorts. Would like your advice. Would like to try something new. Never been to Stratton, Magic, Bromley. Been to KMart, several times, don't...

Yes, I mean "out of area", or more appropriately, not officially maintained (cleared terrain) signage, ambiguous junctures, etc. I'm great when I'm hiking or on x-c gear, I can go pretty much where I want, if I make a mistake it's no sweat. When it comes to alpine, while I'm a fairly...

Out of curiosity, I put together a list of 82 of the most interesting (to me, a northeast skier) US areas. It all started when I originally wanted to find out the most expensive single-day full price ticket in the US. Of course Vail and Aspen take top billing in the west ($81 and $78...

Thanks for all your comments. I've never done real off-groomed trails before, in all my years of skiing, though I've had my share of pole-and-skate trails. I presume it would be better to wait a while for more of a base to build up rather than to try to go in the next week or 2 if no precip...

This trail looks intriguing. http://lew.lasher.home.att.net/maps/smr ... medium.gif 20 questions: -Can it be done completely with Alpine equipment? -Is the trail obvious, especially the lower part? I presume it's unmarked. -Where does it come out? -Is there an easy way over to the Toll...

I took my family skiing north to Quebec in 2003. At the Canada station I handed over passports for my wife and I and we had our kids birth certs at the ready. The officer handed them back and asked for our driver's licenses instead. Go Figure.

With each bit of rust, a little bit more of your edge comes off. Miniscule? Yup. But after I paid over $1million (seems that way) for those babies, I'll treat them with some TLC, especially since I need to have them last me 5-7 years. On a related matter... I shudder at the thought of road...
