hey all wondering about something for a while now... i have some experience mountaineering, but not with skis. and i love backcountry skiing. now, combining the two... well, basically first and foremost i know is knowledge and experience (and safety). knowing where you are, and where you're...

in BC, on the beltway glacier. the alaska border is at the shadow 300 yards in the background. this sat in my pack for 5 weeks before the weather and time was right. this is about 10km south of the Yukon border. had to bring it with me- ski the east!

living in burlington, options are as follows for college students: $200 MRG $425 Stowe $300 Smuggs $25 Bolton (no brainer for so little $$$ and being so close...) what would you do and why? i'm pretty sure i'll do stowe, but i really have a soft spot in my heart for both smuggs and MRG...

yeah- my mind's been in powder mode for about 12 hours. even if this storm fails to deliver fully (knock on wood) and we see the low-end of the forecast- well, that's still damn good. this things churning up the coast- light snow here in DC this AM, heading up, looks like things are coming...

what's everyone ride, or would like to have in their quiver? i'd post this in the "equipment" forum, but this area gets more hits, and is applicable to eastern skiing... i have 158 cm dynastar legend 8000's and 8800's (just got the 88's today). i'm pretty short (5'6" w/ no napoleon's complex...

Noticed Rivercoil and others talk about jay 1. people rave about the snowfall. 2. trails can be pure boilerplate w/o snowfall or w/winds. 3. the trail system that was cut wasn't well thought out generally. (long time MRG folk mentioned this- i agree) a. many are too wide/exposed, w/...

so i know there's plenty of these things in killington- where you a share (bed) in a ski house for a season. k-ton's website has 'em listed. it's a cool idea- makes skiing all the time affordable, and ya can meet people to hang out with. i'm interested in the idea, and was wondering if...

skiing mansfield is no secret- however, i'm sure there are stashes up there to be had as it is a BIG area off the chin down to taft lodge, profanity, hellbrook and (possibly?) beyondetc. i've hiked mansfield in the summer/fall. wondering mostly about different routes. starting at the LT...
