MORE MTNGIRL, PLEASE!! :) Yes, great report; hopefully we can expect expect a number of these reports from Smuggs or wherever you go. But if you're a Smuggs girl thru and thru (at least for this year, or however long you live in Jericho), that's fine by me, as I have great memories of learning...

A day trip from the South Shore to Jay, in early December, is really, really solid in my book. Terrific committment to powder on your part. I admit, this early in the year, I would have lobbied for whatever goodies I could find at Cannon.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the long term forecasts are a lot better than they used to be. A lot of folks are indeed saying that early-mid Winter in the East, after a cold/snowy start in the mtns, will really warm up. I'm buying it, as my anecdotal experience from recent La Ninas is...

These comments are in no particular order (God forbid!!) 1. I understand the new owners not wanting to honor the lifetime passes, but I don;t think it would have killed them to offer these passholders a deal for a few years (not free, but significantly discounted season passes). Or is that waht...

If POWDR is serious about improving the experience during mid-winter, then I'm OK with them limiting spring skiing to when it's profitable, whether that's until a certain date, or weekends only, beyond mid-April. Anyway, I'm more worried about the weather this winter than POWDR's operations...

For a lot of Killington skiers (those that live full-time in the area, and those that own property there), voting with one's feet will mean quite a drive. Easier said than done. Quick rundown on central VT options other than Killington/Pico: -Okemo: this is more South Central than Central VT...

quick thought -if you're working/living in the Cambridge VT area, you won't be riding Stowe, you'll be riding Smuggs. It's at least 45 mins, if not an hour, from Cambridge to Mansfield/Spruce. The Notch road (Rt 108) being closed in the Winter makes a HUGE difference...you have to go all the...

Allow me to hijack this thread in a slightly different way. What, you thought I'd give a direct answer to a direct question? Fuggedaboudit. If the Good Lord allowed you to turn back your clock and let you ski 30 days in the East, which 30 day stretch would you choose? Mid Feb- Mid March of 07...

2 quick thoughts: places that make a pint to position themselves as late season destinations, such as BW, should really consider opening on wknds when the coverage is good, and demand is reasonably strong. Staying open last year just to meet an arbitrary date is counterproductive, just as...

Just wanted to chime in with some deep Bush thoughts, as the Bush has been highlighted a few times in this forum recently. -back in the early 90's before Stowe upgraded its snowmaking and other mtn ops, North Bush (Glen Ellen?) was sometimes a better option than Stowe during early season/low...

R-c0il, you're right, Cannon & BW don't get nearly the lake effect "bonus" snow that the N. Greens do...maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of that, if they're lucky. I just included them in there because those are the 2 NH areas that get any bonus snows, whereas an organzied system is generally necessary for...

I'm going to disagree with Qcanoe on at least one thing: the lake-effect snows that N. VT receives. I say lake effect because I don't really think Lake Champlain has that much to do with it, it's usually more becuase of mosture streaming in from the Great Lakes that seem to give the Northern...

The month of April is usually busy for me, and 4/14 was about the only day I'll have free of family/friend obligations. I went into the month thinking that if 4/14 was going to be really good, I might jump on it. But it would have to be really good. Suffice to say, 3 feet (ish) in 7 days at...

as far as K-Mart goes, yesterday I heard a bit of sleet mixed in mid-day, but it was primarily snow...a foot or more (I'm skeptical of the 18" they report, they've been known to lie). Today, I have seen radar that indicates either snow or rain. If I had to guess, I'd say that above 2K feet...

not to be a killjoy, but there's a lot less cold air in place for the "Monday" storm. It could be a rain to snow event. Don't get me wrong...with the right storm track :?: this could be another huge net gain for the N. Greens and Dacks. But there is much more risk with this system than with...

For all of us who had to stay on the sidelines w/family obligations this wknd (not Riverc0il, apparently :), Ma Nature is throwing us a big reprieve w/another storm in the higher elevations. I'm already making plans for 4/14. Latest talk is 6-12" in the mntns on Thursday. It likely won't be at...

OK, Tony C, I luv ya but let?s have at it again :) Back before my UT trip in late Jan, I attributed my recent bad luck with my UT ski trips with this comment: ?Personally, I attribute this climate change...more snow droughts and warm ups along with big snow years (04, 05). All I can say is...

The police now appear to be a tool of the empire to crush dissent & free speech, which is incredibly un-American. :evil: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/25/nyreg ... ref=slogin

First, they came for the lip balm... Seriously, the police are getting ridiculous these days. They seem to enjoy harrassing folks. What a waste of resources.

Andy Zee, taking a beginner on Sidewinder is definitely something you do to someone else's girlfriend, not your own!! Pfunk in da house!! Pfunk rules the streets of SoRo and Orange County! Ok, for those of you unfamilar with central VT, Orange County is "between" I-89 & I-91...very pastoral...
