Since Southwest consolidated its tri-state region operations at LGA in 2019, United is the only airline flying nonstop from Newark to Denver. I've mentioned before that despite "owning" this route, they don't gouge. The roundtrip fare for this trip was $157, obviously at their basic economy...

Tony will be gleeful to know that for the first time since I was a college student, my luggage did not arrive with me on a nonstop flight! I went standby on an earlier departure this morning and got one of a handful of empty seats just before the door was closed for boarding; however, by that...

Looks like the northeastern US. Standing by for more reports!

Regardless, it's low tide and I'll be skiing on hardpack.

I wish that Monarch were on my Indy Pass. Not gonna pay $80 advance and drive two extra hours to ski groomers with 74 inches YTD (but better than Sunlight at 39 inches!). Loveland is at 89 inches although we know that doesn't tell the whole story with the big wind gusts. WTH, I'm gonna do it...

I'm debating whether to even bring my skis for Sun, Mon, or Tues: i.e. a few hours of groomers at close-by Loveland. The forecast below looks like very light dustings that won't change things much. Good grief, Loveland's terrain report: 25% open. Maybe this'll be my big chance to ski the...

During our 2012 Ski Blog Summit: @Harvey, @Patrick, @rivercOil, and I hit those four in one visit with an unchangeable itinerary (due to being pre-arranged through NH tourism); however, in contrast to Mr. Ski Area Collector, we spent a day at each one! Wildcat Attitash Cannon Bretton Woods I...

Why haven't we seen runnels in the East (where one assumes that mid-season gully washers often fulfill this ^^ requirement)? Is it because an atmospheric river is a different animal, i.e. several times more water? Interesting how I've never run across that word before.

Zoinks :oops:

This'll mean nothing to people not from CNY but the uncovered outdoor rinks in the Finger Lakes that stand out as prime locations for hockey-related Chuenagel were Austin Park in Skaneateles (the absolute worst for cold) and Casey Park in Auburn. When we received the season game schedule in...

It's difficult for people who were raised in sheltered climates to imagine but Chuenagel (pronounced KEW nah gul) is one of the most painful things you can experience. It happened to me as a pre-teen hockey player at least a half dozen times -- always when we played at a handful of outdoor...

Final NOAA forecast: the perennially shortchanged northern Catskills (Hunter and Windham) seem to be in the wheelhouse.

Will you be posting a bit more about the visit? Would be interesting to learn what a premier operation like that does in a comparative low-tide season.

Harvey in retirement is scoring more powder than anyone else on this forum. It's not even close.

I took this screenshot of the historical Adirondack freezer, Saranac Lake, at 8 am today.

He went to Jay Peak yesterday (no powder and no trees) followed by a three-hour drive somewhere: Maine? I've given up trying to guess his next stops. The high at Jay today is a brisk -13F with wind chill at -32.

Has Stoneham had any lift/operational issues in recent years? I went there 20 years ago and thought it was a nice local hill.

My wife and I had to be in East Stroudsburg, PA yesterday, about an hour from home, so with our Indy Passes in hand, we headed over to Shawnee near the Delaware Water Gap for a couple hours. For an early Friday afternoon there were more people around than I expected, but the high-speed quad was...

That ^^ was a case of designing a visually impressive map and building a narrative afterward to match it. If he'd then gone into ChatGPT and asked "wait, doesn't Plattekill actually get a few instances of lake effect every season?", it would've replied "Good catch! Your instincts are correct...

Great pix and glad that @jimk is getting a proper Euro experience, although the question is "how can he go back to LCC after he's been to Chamonix?" :icon-lol: The answer of course is "one adjusts." My wife and I skied at Shawnee PA for a couple hours yesterday afternoon and it was better than...
