I used to ski Hunter Mtn and Killington as a kid, and then the last 4 winters it was Tremblant (I dont know too much about the trails there... we always tried to stick to the woods), but now I'm in Stockholm in cow pasture country unfortunately.... Theres a 60m hill here, and thats the best...

The only way they will start opening the Glades area for early season skiing again, is if they build a 4 star hotel + sushi bar at the base of the Glades Triple, and maybe a few condominiums. Unfortunately, the kind of people who have the kind of cash to fork out for a place like Killington...

Hey AlpineZone, If you don't want to use RealPlayer try downloading "MediaPlayer Classic" (if you use Windows that is), it supports RealPlayer files without all the annoying ads and etc.... I'd definitely say its worth downloading Sven

I vouch for starting the chats again... if there is low attendance I'm always happy to discuss skiing with myself Sven

I'm on a pair of Völkl 7 24 Pro 184 cm's.... just got em this past season, theyre pretty nice and wide underfoot (77mm). They turn really solid and clean, but you need to stay on top of them in the bumps, because they dont appreciate laziness... -Sven

I went for a hike up to the summit of Mt. Washington today, and took some photos of Tucks, both from Hojo's and from Lion Head, and I thought I'd share them with you (since they're really depressing, of course). Here they are: <BR> <BR><IMG...

They had to cut back on the snowmaking on Superstar ever since they invested in that fancy, expensive "WELCOME TO SUPERSTAR GLACIER!!!!!" sign at the top... They barely even had money left after that big investment to renovate their slopeside sushi bar -- and come on, if you're not at Killington...

Damn, I wish I had known there was that much snow still left at Tremblant! I hiked up the Grand Brule last weekend and I only really saw any snow near the top on the south side, which was basically so small that the only use for it was throwing snowballs. I had no idea the north side still had...

Hey, you should have showed up earlier in the morning -- they groomed it over and while the few bumps off to the side were still pretty icy, the amount of people in the morning allowed for 2-3 quick cruisers right down the middle of superstar in pretty nice, edgeable snow. The snow definitely...

We started hiking around 8 AM, finally got into the bowl around 10 AM... not a single cloud in the sky, and people kept filing in. We took a hike up left gully and I was close to the top before losing my footing and being forced to self arrest for a good 100 feet (damn), but still got a good...

Since the weather was looking nice, I thought it'd be nice to skip class and go skiing... It was about +4 C apparently, but felt alot warmer -- I was skiing in a tshirt (perhaps I was deluded into thinking it was warm....) The Duncan lift didn't run all day, who knows why. CBC (closed) was in...

Ahhh... I would be up for it but we're taking the weekend off from skiing & visiting New York City.... I've got all of next week off though -- I'll probably be at Tremblant most of the time, but maybe MRG or elsewhere is in the plan somewhere. Where do you think you will be skiing next week? I...

This was the warmest ski day ive had this season by far... I think it might have actually gone above freezing (!) The snow conditions were kind of lame.... what Tremblant likes to call "groomed powder" (aka thin cover + ice). No need for anything more than sunglasses.... although i ended up...

I went up to Tremblant today... they definitely got a little bit of snow, but nowhere near as much as Montreal (i'd say their website guess of about 4 inches is right). I went over to CBC to check it out (it was closed); the trail definitely had enough cover to be skiable, and there were tons...

I skied Tremblant today... they definitely did get some snow, but it was a foggy day overall and at some points some chunky ice bits were coming down (not too comfortable on the face). However, off the Lowell Thomas it was good skiing, and the runs that all drop into that one area (Bansai...

If the train runs up to 3800', I definitely think it would become a staging area... think about all of the publicity tuckerman gets in mainstream ski magazines (definitely "skiing" & "ski")... they definitely have enough circulation to convince at least a handful of people to ski tucks who might...

I skied Saint-Sauveur today, and it dumped pretty wet heavy snow for basically the entire afternoon... not too much more than an inch but the surface softened up a bit... only for a few minutes was there a slight bit of drizzle mixed in... Hopefully with the new snow they can get their night...
