Today was day 64. Weather permitting the next few weeks I will hit 70 days or more... my most since the early 90's!

One of my favorite all time Warren Miller lines..... "What sound does a skier make when they fall off of a cliff? Banff!!"

Or just a winch cat that broke down with a good length of the wire out on a trail??

Reports now coming in that she didn't sustain any fractures or ligament tears. Maybe a ligament strain and likely some decent bruising and soreness. The impression given is that she may be out for a week or 2 to recover, but not a season ending injury. Not nearly as bad as the into the net her boyfr...

I think one of the challenges that may be in play here, and likely will be in play with numerous other lifts in the coming years is that Leitner-Poma doesn't really do full "gut and rehabs" of their older machines (for various reasons it seems like they'd much rather do a full tear down an...

I have to think that last nights SL win, with all that happened to her boyfriend over the weekend in Wengen, has to rank right up there in her mind as one of the most emtoional wins of her career (likely right there with win #1, her 1st Olympic gold medal, her 1st win after her Dad passed away, etc)...

Current NE open terrain leaders: SR 255 acres SB 240 acres O 233 acres SL 226 acres K 224 acres Sto 215 acres Str 189 acres Loon 154 acres Looking at this list, 3 of the 4 resorts that are "ahead" of K are at more northern latitudes. I assume that means better snowmaking conditions? As fo...

I heard several weeks ago they were shooting for MLK weekend for Skyeship Base. Presumably they are moving in new furniture, etc. at this point. We’ll know it’s close when we see food trucks unloading! Temps really aren’t great at that elevation for the push but Thursday night is okay. I’ve heard u...

Kinco's with a layer or 2 of snoseal and for me atleast, a medium thickness glove liner, and I am good to go, and they last a good long time. You don't see a bunch of lifties, patrollers, instructors and various other on the hill employees wearing them because they don't cost tons of $$

Superstar opening 1 week later than in years past ? Wow They have both a high level athlete training camp and then a high level (not too far below Worldcup level) race on that pod in the roughly week after the worldcup. Hence the Dec 8th targeted opening to the general public for that pod So Killin...

maybe Skyelark will be the late season offering LOL... seems like a lot of hours on that slope So if SS is shut down until the 4th for race camp, does that mean they'll need time after that to tear up the rock hard world cup surface? or will they do that before the race folks start using it? I woul...

Loon will be open on Wendesday, I am assuming top to bottom from North Peak to the Octagon base. Gondola will be running with no downloading. Interesting concept... As a Mount Snow regular, I saw and have experienced 1st hand now 4 or 5 seasons ago what a MEGA upgrade in pumping capacity combined w...

Although not open now, Loon has over 300 guns running now. They have invested in up grading their snowmaking horse power over the years and it shows. Boyne got Sunday River and Sugarloaf up and running top to bottom first, Loon had milder temps. If Loon can operate 300 snow guns, Killington should ...

how deep do they need the snow to be for the training course? Seems like over kill on SL to me and the rest of the world... Standard threaded bases for the gates and poles that are used in the dafety netting are roughly a foot long, and there's far less wear and tear on the drill bits used for sett...
