I was there on Tuesday. Conditions were great. What a treat to see skiers heading down Racer's Edge and not hear them from the lift, as in, there's powder on the slopes. Strong winds scoured the summit down to the slick/icy base. Hellgate was skied off by 11:00am - no surprise. Annapurna...

Absolutely. I drove to Hunter on Sunday morning. In Palenville, at the bottom of the gorge, the ground was practically bare. As you drove up 23A, the snow cover started to increase. Once you hit Tannersville, it looked like a different world. Walls of snow on the sides of the road. Houses...

I've only been to Snow Ridge once.... moe.down :-$

I have this Thule ski rack which is an "add-on" to a hitch mounted bike rack. Due to the bottom mounting point being a thin slot into which you insert the ski tails, there's no way to carry the skis protected, in a conventional ski bag. You can't get much more than the skis through the slot...

Hi Sharon and FTO! I haven't been to this neck of the net in a couple years. :oops: My scout troop is doing MLK weekend, too. It's been at least 6 years now. Hope the cold weather holds up until then. Look for me. I wear a light blue helmet with a stealie on the front, dancing bears on...

Hey, I'm headed to Fernie with my kids next week. :D I have 180cm Salomon Scream 10 Pilot ('02-'03 model? orange top sheet) and 178cm Rossi RPM100. The Salomons are a wider in the waist and softer all around. They seem like the logical choice. The Rossi's are a real stiff carving ski...

Okay, I may as well let the list know what we decided on. Arrive Calgary International Sunday 2/19, rent SUV and drive to Fernie. Staying on the mountain at Lizard Creek :D :D for 5 nights. Drive to Castle Friday night, ski there Saturday, fly back from Calgary Sunday 2/26. I have not...

Thank you everyone for your insightful replies. It's looking like a Canadian vacation is in store. My older son is hot on Fernie or some other "middle of nowhere" resort. It does make sense to go off the beaten path, in Canada, considering so many US schools will be on vacation for...

Hi, I'm soliciting suggestions, opinions, comments, etc. and I figure this is the best place to ask. I live in New York and am planning a week long trip next February/President's Week vacation for myself and my 16 and 14 year old sons. The destination is "somewhere out west." I've been to...

All I can say is W O W ! 4 bluebird days with incredible visibility. Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range, Lake Champlain, Mt. Mansfield, Burke Mt. and the Adirondacks in plain sight. Spectacular. The conditions were amazing. Top to bottom packed powder on the groomers, ice-free...

Yup, on the West side lift, the wind was at your back, making a comfy ride up. We also found great snow on the front face on Gun Hill Road, which is passed over by most, in favor of Racers Edge and Eisenhower (which were great in their own regard.) On Eisenhower, I was floating along towards...

WOW IS RIGHT!!! I hit Hunter on Sunday, too. Left Katonah at 6:20, up 684 to 84 then 87. Saw maybe 15 cars the whole way to the mountain. Slow going, too. Normally takes me 1:50 with dry roads, took almost 2:45, but well worth it for the pow! :D The faithful shall be rewarded!! 8) 8)...

Me too, with my Boy Scouts. We do Gore/Whiteface/Gore for the 3 days. I hope the thaw/freeze doesn't leave sheets of glare ice. Keep in mind that Gore has a Demo Day on Saturday. Good time to try out some well tuned carving skis! :) Rich

Early Friday evening, I posted a request for suggestions - where to ski for the weekend. I knew that the best bet would be an area with a lot of snowmaking, grooming and cruiser runs. I had hopes of leaving Friday night for Vermont, but it was just too late and I didn't want to get to a motel...

I arrived at Hunter on Saturday @ 8:30AM. It was raining pretty hard; well, hard enough to bag it, even though there may have been a chance that it was going to change to snow. Their "conditions" board said that they were expecting 4"-7" of snow. I've lost all respect for Hunter's...

Hey Marc, Yeah, I was thinking that Killington was as far as I'd want to drive tonight. Sugarbush is a good 6 hours from home. Hmmm, maybe stay in WRJ and then drive to the 'Bush in the morning. I love that place. Been going there for over 30 years. Sure miss the Gondola..... It's still a...

Hey Now, New member with my first post. :D This looks like a great board. My weekend just opened up.... Any suggestions on where to go in southern to mid Vermont tomorrow and Sunday? I figure they've gotta have good snowmaking. Rich
