Some pretty decent snow to be found at Cannon last Thursday & Friday, Friday being the better day with an additional 4 inches of snow or so. Stuck almost entirely to upper hardscrabble (closed Thursday but opened Friday - the best run down it was just before they opened it on Friday morning)...

It was sort of luxurious to be sitting on a chairlift again after 6 days straight of rope tows, but re-learning to deal with crowds was a bit overwhelming. Overall though Mt. Hutt is a pretty fun mountain with some decent terrain (I stuck to the South Face, Towers, & Rakaia Chutes - which are...

I couldn't get a place at the lodge up on Mount Olympus (all 36 bunks were filled apparently), which was unfortunate, as everyone told me about the hot tub they have up there. And transportation was another issue - I had a really cheap 2wd rental car, and Mount Olympus has probably the most...

I headed up to Craigieburn on July 10th and stayed at the lodge the night before opening day (the 11th). I was one of two guests at the lodge the first day.... for opening day, only overnight guests, staff, club members and chill pass holders were issued lift tickets. I'd say there were maybe...

The mountains got a bit of snow (like 35 cm) and Mt. Buller decided to open just for the weekend, before official opening in 5 weeks... only the 6 seater lift was open and the only run was Bourke St. (the bunny hill one might call it). I did hike up to the summit though and a little bit along...

Conditions were a bit scratchy except for on parts of Cliff / East Side Drive / Minya Konka, it looked like they picked up maybe 4-5 inches at the top and at the base it was trace amounts. Not really crowded surprisingly. The top of K27 was actually looking tempting to poach.... Here are some...

Anyone been up the Auto Road lately and scoped out what the snowfields are looking like?

Anyone been up around Killington and scoped out Superstar recently? I know theyre closing this weekend but no one from FTO seems to have been there as of late, or rather hasn't posted any reports. Wondering how its holding up / how much mud there is to reckon with / where anyone else is...

Arrived in the bowl around 11 AM, perfect conditions, sunny and warm (hot I'd even say). No jacket necessary. Took two great runs down right gully, pretty decent boot ladder going over there. Didn't see any significant icefall really, but with such warm weather and so much of it still up...

Someone had to call them out on it, and this seems like the most likely place to do it. What gives? I'd like to see the natural snow totals even if it's not the prettiest sight. Sven

Got up to the hill around 9:30 AM this morning, pretty damn cold.... it was something like 13 at the base I think, i do remember seeing -1 or -2 on the thermometer at the top of the quad all day.... and pretty heavy winds. I scoped out the gondola side and it was all very firm groomed surfaces...

I'll post the photos later on, its a whole lot of stuff to sort through.... Thursday was a picture perfect day for Tucks, no icefall despite the high temps, maybe a good 40-50 people up there. Someone set off some major amount of sluff over to the right of the lip and it nearly buried my skis...

Having been lured in by overzealous snowfall reporting, I made the drive up to Jay from New York.... it flurried on and off the whole day, nothing significant really, and I found pretty similar conditions all across the mountain - skied off icy glades and even icier trails. Staircase was...

Left NYC at 5:30 AM, with blizzard conditions and occasional lightning/thunder (first time I've heard thunder in a snowstorm), the snow drastically tapered off by the time I reached the Woodbury exit off the Thruway. At the lower elevations near exit 20 there was hardly any snow on the ground...

After a rainstorm, or "wintry mix" as weather.com artfully terms it, followed by dropping temperatures, finally the stage was set for a day not unfamiliar to anyone that has spent any significant time at Tremblant - although the fact that it was "warm" out, e.g. not -35 C, was the one missing...

Made it up to Hunter this morning after near 0 visibility in the dark on the Palisades Pkwy due to heavy snowfall, passed a whole bunch of carnage along the way (I think i counted 4 jackknifed trucks that slammed into the divider on the Thruway), then fought for dear life to maintain uphill...

I was unfortunately too lazy to take pics although i had my camera, but the snow was pretty decent, opening was 10 AM & the sun did a good job of softening it up... it was just Hellgate that was open and then the runout towards the triple (to the skiers right of Hellgate)... a few spots with...

I could have sworn I saw them saying that they were planning to open on November 11, but now all evidence of that seems to have been erased from their website. Weather.com says it's due to drop below freezing for several nights this week, so I'd guess that it'd be slightly colder than that...

Here it is, from http://www.mountwashington.org: 03:29 PM Mon Oct 17, 2005 EDT 136 mph. 34 inches of snow. Wow. Looking outside it could well be February. That is not a figure of speech, it really could be. Fins of ice 2ft tall stick up from the deck. A fall in the winds would really hurt...

hey guys, I'm finishing up school here and going to spend the next 4-5 months working on a thesis, so i figured the best way to make it enjoyable would be to write it on the ski industry (im in a business/economics program)... I've got no damned idea what to look into though, but figured I've...
