Hold my beer. New day a dawning. Plattekill is secret sauce. Only open on weekends, never crowded. If you live in NY Metro, work a full time 9-5, and don't have a Plattekill pass, you're nuts IMO. I'm probably the only skier in America who'd rather drive to be first in line at Plattekill on...

Really want to hear about this, maybe a thread in the OT. We are moving north but came THIS CLOSE to choosing FL instead. I get wanting to drive, I hate flying. But you save a bundle of mileage on your own car, and can rent something extremely capable in the snow, or even exchange it, if...

@jamesdeluxe suggested I post a few pics or link from our coverage of the recent snow in the East. Maybe some cheer to distract from the washout. Anyone please feel free to post NY/VT pics in this thread! --- On Tuesday, I posted my pictures from Friday and Saturday at Gore, which was in the...

James these TRs have been over the top fun. Thanks for posting them. Tony showing his western bias. Last I checked we are part of North America too. :stir: A guess: measured by snowfall, we in the east are on track for an average season or maybe a little better.

Over the years, I've picked up pieces of the story about how Admin ended up living in SLC. For a while, Jamesdeluxe has been talking about how cool it'd be to get his story down. During his visit to the Wasatch last month, he and Admin sat down and the full story was told. The result is, IMO, a...

I didn't see this thread anywhere else ... so I'm posting it up. Happy Birthday Admin. Hope you are out there gettin it on your day. And thanks for FTO.

Hey guess what? I skied Gore today. Bell-to-bell. Cold in the morning - maybe 5 degrees. It warmed up to about 20 around 10am. It started to snow around 1, and then dumped for a couple hours. We got maybe 5 inches when they were calling for NCP. Two times in a row now we've got some...

I was at Gore yesterday. Just a few hundred feet of vertical, but I took a scenic Gondi ride to check out the jibbers and progress on the snowmaking. I actually had fun: http://harvey44.blogspot.com/2009/12/puking-on-87.html I also skied Whiteface today. They'd done a pretty good job...

I'm absolutely fine with daytime snowmaking. And I'm one of those nuts who skis next to the guns. I ALWAYS have ear plugs in my butt bag for this purpose. I probably like it because compression is such a limited resource at Gore. When conditions are perfect Gore will blast on the full length...

Anybody know who's got the longest glade in the East? I've got limited experience in the northeast and even less experience skiing trees at places other than Gore. Still I'm thinking: :bs: when I see this claim that Gore is now making. They've expanded the Cirque down to the bottom of the...

I'd defer to an expert on this, but as someone who has watched a lot of Adk winter radar in his life...the lake effect just seems to diminish west of the bigger mtns. Lake effect can travel over the flatter areas incredibly far...like into Massachusetts...but farther north the hills seems to...

:hijack: Probably isn't the best thread for this post, but the search function isn't my specialty. Saw a TV commercial for a furniture company that seemed really cool. The whole commercial was about how they built their own recycling plant and they take back ALL the packaging for your...

The discussion in the "Comped Lodging" thread has me thinking about the dark side of the force. While we may or may not "ski" specifically for my wife's 40th birthday next year, all that talk of Jackson Hole and Telluride has me thinking it's probably time to see if she likes alpine gear. While...

There's a decent possibility that I can take a week with accommodations comped at some good ski locations: Beaver Creek Breckenridge Copper Mountain Deer Valley Jackson Hole Steamboat Stowe Sun Valley Tahoe Telluride Basically I could go to any destination listed here...

I used my rudimentary search skills and didn't see this posted previously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW_ekQSi ... r_embedded

Can some direct me to the thread where Rob skied Little Chute? I missed it.

Admin...if you let me slide this weekend, I promise I won't cross post the rest of the season. :roll: Today's pics: http://harvey44.blogspot.com/2009/02/go ... 22009.html

Hey James...here's something you can't do on training heels: Patrol makes it official at Gore. :D :D :D

Ski Day 12 Today was a tale of technical difficulty, battle with the elements ...and ...I know I've been accused of being an incurable optimist but...great skiing. Joe..I was all ready to post a negative report just to prove I could do it. Maybe I just like skiing. * * * * It started...

Sharon....we want pics. http://204.2.104.196/gfs/CONUS_GFS0P5_S ... W_72HR.gif
