    I also checked out the Webcam this morning and said the same thing. Banff Sunshine yesterday and today. This place is stunning!

    Windham Mountain Going Private?

    "enshittification" Sadly I've had to use that term more and more. Will be fun when they drive all the people/workers from the region that make a ski resort and town possible. The east isn't the rockies.

    Today's Ride

    Great pics Jason. Looks like trails I'd enjoy. I'm working on a list of summer riding destinations. Can anyone here recommend good MTB trails in the Binghamton/Vestal region? Also anyone ever go to Jake's Rocks PA? If so I'd love any info on your experience.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Definitely! I was marveling at how quick my new Honda Passport is with that super smooth v6 and 9 speed automatic. Just look at this comparison to a muscle car. Plus I have way more room, comfort and more than 2x gas mileage😁

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    As much as I wanted to have replaced my 2014 Honda CR-V with a Hybrid EV of some type I just couldn't find something that checked all my required boxes. So in January I ended up getting a 2025 Honda Passport AWD and I absolutely love it! Yeah I'm just a Honda nerd. I can even fit my EMTB in...

    Bristol Conditions

    Yup I can complain about a lot but not lines. While I only went 5 times this year I don't remember long lines at any point either. Even when the Comet quad queue looks huge they generally have a line sheriff insuring the queues advance orderly and the chairs go up full. The big line does go...

    Bar up or down?

    Good points. I always use the bar. But it's no fun to have an overzealous bar slammer hit you on the head. So when I board I grab the bar immediately to stop any potential bar slammers. Once everyone appears situated I then announce"Ready for the bar?" Then we close it.

    Bristol Conditions

    Darn right that I'm glad I didn't give that last ticket away! Sunday was one of the best ski days I'd had at Bristol in years. It really was all about the sun. As my buddies and I were chatting afterwards we said if not for the sun our opinion of the day would have been much lower. While I'm...

    Bristol Conditions

    Spectacular bluebird spring Sunday at Bristol. Sun makes all the difference. Got on the mountain around 930am. Firm and noisy snow early but carvable. As the morning went on it softened up and the snow got quiet and the carving was even better. Finished up around 1pm and watched the slush cup...

    Hunt Hollow, NY: 3/13/25 Carving into Spring

    Great photos and a beautiful day! Haven't been to HH since my kids graduated from HS 10 years ago. I always loved the vibe of that place. The ADK chairs facing the mountain out in the sun.. Heaven.

    Nope the Webcam is looking sad. Should anyone want a FREE lift pass for the spring carnival just PM me. I can load their Gateway card for them.

    F Vail

    This Snowbrains podcast is pre-strike with the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association. Obviously very union biased but some insightful points about Vail Corp. Locals were not happy about Vail buying PC either. Seems to be a pervasive sentiment in communities where Vail invaded and took...
