Met up with some buds for an all day powder buffet at MRG Saturday and Sunday. The cuisine of the weekend was powder (didn't I say that already?), lots of it, from chopped up to lightly crusted to ultra light. Everyone eagerly sampled it - some of us liked it so much we just wallowed in it...

Thanks Marc for planning the Burke Day. We all had a great time. The woods on Caveman and Throbulator were schweet! We hit the powder on both sides for less cut up snow. Got a bit lost with Mike Reardon as we traversed too far skiers left on Upper and Lower Willoughby (I think these are the...

Thanks for the report Max. Can't wait til Swampfest in Mid January!! <BR> <BR>PS

Ron, <BR> <BR>Matt is probably the original "No Bull". Skiing is his specialty, not BS. Believe every bit that he writes (which, as you can see, he does so well). I've skied with him a few times and also have some of his footage on the slopes (or most likely in the trees) and I believe every...

Tony, <BR> <BR>Thanks for writing those great writeups of Kootenay and Snowcat vs. Heli. Here in CT the temps have been in the mid 90s with humidity in the 70s the last few days. While thoughts of skiing are always at the forefront of my mind, they are especially endearing during these hot...

Saturday: Bright blue skies with great visibility. I was able to see Whiteface across Lake Champlain, Stowe to the North, the presidentials to the East and K to the South (from the southbound slidebrook express), at least that's what mountains I thought I saw. Are those areas within sight on a...

Sutton and Orford were outrageous this weekend. <BR> <BR>Sutton on Saturday had plenty of powder. The trees were beautiful. We easily found powder 2 feet deep in the glades and the areas between the trails. We skied mostly the blacks on the left on the trail map. The crowds were a bit much...

Snow, snow everywhere. I was introduced to Beaver Pond and Beyond Beaver Pond which was just glorious. A foot of champagne powder with drifts here and there of up to 2 1/2 feet were hard to beat. <BR> <BR>There is plenty of snow up there and is yours for the looking. The marked non-glade...

Shoulda been here yesterday! That's what I heard many times today. <BR> <BR>They received 5 inches yesterday and supposedly the skiing was fantastic. I can't comment on yesterday but today has been the best I've skied during the last 4 days. Believe it or not but Vail is 100% open. My wife...

Skied Keystone for the first 2 days of my season this year and was able to get a few of the bugs out. Legs were quite tired afterwards. <BR> <BR>Looks like Keystone is operating on much fake snow. By the end of each day conditions were very scratchy. They need a major snowstorm by Xmas if they...

I was at Beaver Creek today (2/19) and skied Larkspur Bowl as well. There's still plenty of powder for the taking. The rest of the mountain is holding up pretty well. I did find a few rocks here and there, especially on the approach to the birds of prey downhill area. They need a bit more...

The Connecticut Ski Council had a day at Haystack for $15 on Saturday. I was a little worried but figured that if it sucked I could at least go somewhere else in the afternoon. <BR> <BR>Haystack did not disappoint. The snow from Monday/Tuesday's storm was waiting to be had (they only open on...

Did I say powder?? <BR> <BR>POWDER POWDER POWDER POWDER POWDER POWDER POWDER POWDER POWDER <BR> <BR>Got snowed in monday evening and was able to take complete advantage of my Bandits XXXs earlier today! I felt so guilty of not being at work. NOT! <BR> <BR>At my ski club lodge in Brattleboro...
