If the boo birds keep multiplying at this rate, you're going to have a full-on self-fulfilling prophecy. Because afterall, everyone just loves to flock to a bunch of whiny complainers. This is the main point of my post. Hey, it could be worse. I'm looking at paying around $1,050 for an Alta pass th...

Sorry, but it looks like the the Killington area was booming around nothing more than a huge money pit. Now that there's no more debt financing, does everyone expect the new ownership to just keep spending spending spending? How many posts did I see in this forum that said ASC was essentially the ne...

Okemo is great because of the fast groomers? Sorry, but I have to disagree. Have you ever been to Whiteface? I know, a lot of folks think it's too cold, too far, too windy, too icy, too wintry...whatever. Even on the worst ice day -- which came the day after a freezing r*in event -- was so bad that ...

Holy crap...what a deal!!! The skiing out here at Alta is incredible...by East Coast standards anyways. The locals are all biatching there's not enough snow, but I can't fault them for that...most have been spoiled. If you have cash/credit waiting to be used, I'd say do it! There's some great corn h...

Try skiing Jiminy on a stormy night. The place is usually dead and your turns will be covered by the time you get back to them...despite the 9 minute laps. It is NOT a destination resort, but it's quite a good place if you're just looking to get "on-snow" time. It's also great for kids and...

Get out to Plattekill. If you love powder, you'll think you've find one of the East's great post-storm nirvanas. The place skis bigger than it is and there are a ton of little side trails, mtb bike trails and trees to ski there. It's rustic, old fashioned skiing at its best.

Yet Another "I'm off to live the dream" Thread

(cross-posted in TGR) I am now a snow refugee. I've run out of patience with the East Coast and am following the call "Go west young man". You have no idea how long I've been dreaming of posting this message. As of today, I am truly living the dream. Today is my last day here in Dilbert la...

No fake 9/11 widows. They're very real. Thousands of people tragically lost their lives that day. Just that the blame might not be in the right place. Just watch the freaking video already. It's not that long. And then, after watching Loose Change, check out V for Vendetta if you haven't seen that e...

Lemme get this straight. Osama the nutcase has a beef with us (justified/unjustifed doesn't matter) and kills 3,000 innocent people. So we turn around and vaporize 30,000,000 innocent people. And somehow we're better than him?? See, if you watched Loose Change all the way through, you'd be thinking...

It reminds me of last year. The 5-7 day forecast always had a storm a few days out that never materialized. I don't think the weather folks have a clue what's really happening. They seem to be just as frustrated, amazed and confused as we are.

I'm up to 7 for the season. I'll be lucky to top 8 by the end of the year since I have my own personal policy to avoid the Christmas Chaos. Can't wait until January when I'm living in Utah and will be able to ski Alta nearly everyday (until I have to get a job).

This past weekend was a blanket DWI patrol here in NY...at least in the capital district. Cops absolutely everywhere, throwing in a few DWI checkpoints as well. Word is that they're going to be continuing the efforts through to New Year's.
