I made the trek up to VT on Tuesday evening with a few old friends. The worst driving was in MA heading out to our rendezvous point in East Longmeadow, took me almost 4 hours instead of 2. We arrived at Cedarbrook Motel/Condo's, our usual haunt around 9:30 with light snow and about 6 inches of...

Not sure if this has been reported elsewhere - Early reports on a lift cable jumping the pulleys at Sugarloaf. Some chairs hit the ground. I hope the injured are OK...

I finally got around to editing down some video I shot at Vail in February. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTLENL4qwGs jack

Anyone else see this today? The headline says "mandatory", but the text says "recommend". http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,558643,00.html?test=latestnews Major Ski Resorts to Make Helmets Mandatory Thursday, October 01, 2009 Six months after actress Natasha Richardson died following a...

I'm sitting here watching the snow clouds flying off the peaks in the Gore range on yet another bluebird day. Today's forecast calls for 50 mph winds on top of Vail. :shock: Sunday was a beautiful spring day, temps in the high 40's on top. The back bowls had the bake going, so it was follow...

So I've got some coin to drop on a new pair of boards, and I'm not sure which direction I should go. I really like the Salomon X-wings (I demo'd the Fury and Tornado's in Breck on a firm day and a powder day). I thought the Fury's were a bit unstable at high speed on the firm, but they were...

Couldn't get up north this weekend, and the local scene is too crusty for nordic skiing, so I took the bike out onto some icy trails with spiked tires. Shot a little video, mainly to have something else to play around with editing.

My buddy Al and I drove up on Tuesday night for a one-day stand at Kmart. Woke up to light snow falling, with a 1/2 inch on the deck. We had a hangover helper burrito at Blackies and then headed up to Bear Mtn. At 8:35 there were about 10 cars in the lot, and about 2 inches on the ground. A...

I’ve been procrastinating all spring and summer on uploading all my pictures and getting this post together. Now that I managed to crack a couple ribs at the Kingdom Trails, I suddenly have time for other things. Me and five college buddies set out on the Great Canadian Dirtbag Tour on March...

Got the green light to ski Wednesday. Has anyone heard anything about how this week's storm is supposed to track? I'd like to pick an area to maximize my powder pigging.

I managed to escape for a day at Cannon yesterday. Temps were a balmy 18 at the summit in the morning with the usual Cannon breeze blowing. You could feel the humidity in the air and on the snow. There was cut-up powder on lots of trails, and the lower mtn even had some freshies to be had in the...

Got another shot at skiing CO with the boss last week. We arrived on Monday and I ended up being tour guide on Tuesday to my boss and a couple other guys, one of which it's his 4th day skiing ever. Hmmm, a whole day of blue groomers, what fun. For early season, the cover was pretty good, and I...

I can't remember a first day out in New England that could top yesterday. We were originally planning an overnighter, but my buddy Al canceled on me (his bad), and at the same time my buddy Jeff called and wanted to do a day trip to Canon. I had been following the snow reports and after looking...

Not sure if this is the proper location for this, so feel free to move it. My friend is selling his condo at Pow Mow. It's a sweet location - ski-in, ski-out. Here's a photo of its location: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/ ... _0778a.jpg Contact Doug Lythgoe 801-430-6465 or Jamie...

I made a mistake. I admit it. On Monday, I cancelled my planned trip to visit my friend Mike in Underhill on Thursday evening. 3 of us were coming up to ski Friday and Saturday, and the Monday forecast called for 40's on Wednesday, then colder temps with flurries - a receipe for dust on crust...

I started my western trip with some bad vibes this year. My buddy Ziggy managed to break two ribs a week before I arrived, so it didn't look good for skiing with the Z man. I had a couple of buddies, Jim & Jim, who joined me for my first day on Vail mt. Continuing the bad vibes, I managed to...

Spent today climbing to Tuckerman for my Avy 1 class. Temps were at least 40 at HoJo's, and it rained off and on all day. The ravine looks like it could use a few feet: Hillman's is even worse. Sherbie was patchy snow, grass, and rocks. Other than that, life is good....

Days 3 & 4 on the boards, and quite the letdown after skiing powder at Breck a couple weeks ago. I had pre-purchased a $99 2-day E-ticket from Attitash, grabbed it at 7:30, and headed over to Sunday River on Thursday. We drove through a nice squall in Pinkham Notch, and settled into hi 20's and...

I finally managed to start the season - Yippee. I arrived via the typical nasty drive up I-70 on Monday night. Tuesday morning Breck was boasting a 1" snowfall. I hit the rental shop early and was set up on a pair of Salomon X-Wing Tornado's. I spent the morning on the cruisers with my boss...
