Threatening to beat me up at Pinkham? Oh for gawds sake, Moderator, just take this stupid post off the FTO board. Let him take his over-inflated ego, and go play in his own sandbox.

I can't argue with Tony (wish I could...).

Every Christmas Day, Cannon closes to give the State Park employees some quality time with their families (except for the snowmakers and groomers, who work their regular shift). There was an undrecast in the valleys, which never lifted - in town, we never saw the sun all day. But up on the...

You got a lot of balls posting an advertisement for another ski forum here. Does the on-line skiing community really need another place for ego-stroking ?

OMG, don't get me started. I'm not going to take the bait. I'm not going to speculate how often our senior citizen Ski Patrol director will "open" the gate to Mittersill (uh, half as often as he opens Middle Hardscrabble?). They put up a rope 2 weeks ago, and a big "CLOSED" sign, so they could...

Hillmans Hwy was great on Mother's Day! See rivercoil's excellent "50! Gulf of Slides, NH: 05/11/08" trip report for a description of the weather and snow conditions. Over on the other side of Boote Spur, I was also enjoying day #50. The Left fork was still skiable, though hanging on by a...

Uhh, river, maybe it was Mothers Day? Great TR, now I know what I should title mine!

Hoping for a break in the weather, we headed up to the Cog at 8:30AM Saturday, May 3rd. The summits were in the clouds, with about a 5000' ceiling. We found the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail pretty bare, and hiked with our skis a little over a mile, until there was enough snowcover for climbing...

Nice TR, Rog! Too bad all my Cannon friends missed it, while riding the Wildcat lifts Friday on the opposite side of Pinkham Notch. Left gully was the way to go! I wish I could re-play our choice Wednesday to descend the Chute...

Oh, Steve, I would have loved to join you. Couldn't get anyone up for Mt Washington Saturday, and settled for skiing up Cannon. Great TR! I hope it'll still resemble that next Saturday.

That's the gospel truth. Can we convince the OBS to point one of their webcams at a dairy farm pasture somewhere in the valley?

OK, Rog & Patrick, I'll stop prognosticating about the future of weather on the Rock Pile. I certainly hope we'll be skiing in June. I realize this is like a religion to some of us, and being a skier requires a leap of faith. I believe it's going to snow again next winter. I believe that the...

A couple more.

My last-minute request for a vacation day granted, I had the pleasure of skiing Wednesday with one of the area's best skiers-hikers-bikers-runners-paddlers. After a 2nd place finish on Saturday in the F.O.T. Inferno pentathlon, she had recovered by Wednesday and wanted more! FOT 2008 Inferno...

I'd had my eye on Abenaki Ravine last weekend, while driving to the Cog. This picture was actually taken a week ago from the Base Station Road behind the Mt Washington Hotel. Abenaki Ravine is on the northwest side of the ridge between Mt Eisenhower and Mt Clinton/Pierce. That's Eisenhower on...

The second week of March brought late spring snow conditions to St. Anton, Austria. Our hotel in St. Anton am Arlberg had great food every night, and great service. Sunday was sunny, and eventually softened up right to the summits (about 2800 meters); we explored inbounds and off piste...

Hey, Steve, it was great running into you at the end of the day, just in time for one last run down Tuckerbrook. The ride back to the mountain in the back of Jim's pickup was much appreciated!

Saturday, March 29, I skinned up the Cog in single digit Farenheit temperatures with 30MPH winds lowering the windchill index well below zero. Skies were partly sunny in the valleys, with the summits in the clouds. Snow conditions were about 4"-6" new powder around the Cog Railway base station...

Don't let salida fool you, these pictures were not taken at Cannon, they're all from Jay Peak or somewhere in Vermont. not secret enough, when you can see it from the parking lot... Thanks, patrick. The photo-journalist in me used to enjoy posting the TRs, but it started to feel like I was...

Thanks for the report, Anthony, I needed to see some Tuckerman snow pix.
