    Killington closing day 5/11/04

    Anonymous i believe what frank is trying say is that if he can convince 9 of his friends to go ski on a rather small patch of dirty snow which they have to hike to get to, theres a good chance that a heck of a lot more people would be willing to go out and ski in the summer than you may think...

    Whiteface 3/26

    I was planning to visit clarkson university on saturday and decided to go up a day early for a trip to whiteface on friday.

    Whiteface in March?

    Go for it. Theres no one around and conditions are excellent. I was there march 15th last year and enjoyed about 4" of fresh powdery snow in the morning and spring corn by the afternoon. We did find some ice but thats the way it always is at that place. Everything was open and coverage was...

    Cannon, nh: 12.27-12.28

    Great pics and report. I read a few other on your site, real good stuff. I was trying to look at mitersill and cannon maps to see if any more terrain on mittersill is skiable without a hike due to the new cannon expansion. Do you have any idea? I'm probably going up in january or february...

    Mont Sainte Anne, Le Massif 12/25-12/28

    The terrain over there and the lack of people because of the T-bar made it the best runs of the day and the best we had at MSA. It's definetly worth a little more work on the uphill for what you get on the downhill. Personally i never want to see MSA change the T-bar to a quad or something...

    Mont Sainte Anne, Le Massif 12/25-12/28

    Yeah it was my first time riding a t-bar. I had ridden platters out at vail but they were basically on the flat, thats the only thing close. The top of the west side T-bar is very steep, i would think a diamond rating if it was a trail. Going up that last stretch i was basically sitting on...

    First turns this weekend in the catskills

    Thanks for the info. I really wanna go up but i don't think my parents are gonna let me. 9 hours is a long time to drive by yourself and i'm having a hard time talking any of my friends into going. They don't think it's worth it for suck limited conditions, there obviously not as obsessed as...
