I got a 6-pack and a sizable gift card to West for Xmas. Haven't gone yet as I want the north chair opened first. Love me some AOA and Midway during the week.

Thought you wanted to add some. Feel free.

Yeah, bud - have at it!

Haha. Maple Ridge. Just wanted to throw that in there.

I was looking at the Belleayre map (I've never been) and a couple of YT vids tonight and their terrain layout looks interesting - seems like you can drop in to varying terrain from multiple crosses and access lifts throughout. Long runs, med runs, etc. I'm strictly a mid-week half-day skier who...

Albany is this Saturday and Sunday. Boston in two weeks.

Anybody hitting the ski expo this weekend? They'll have over 100 exhibitors.

If I lived closer - like 30 minutes away or something - I'd go probably half a dozen times in a summer. I don't really get some of the negative comments. You get on the snow in the summer/fall and it's a great activity for kids and other people who might not have the chance. I had fun but I...

I think it's intentional due to the number of kids, beginners and walk-ins during the summer. It probably keeps the short slope as uncrowded and safe as can be. Seems to me that it's a fun thing for first-timers, camp kids and the occasional snow rat like me to experience. What I really...

Everything is better with mates - especially something like skiing. But it was still pretty great solo skiing indoors and the staff was excellen making the user experience comfortable, convenient and fun. At around 3p I thought it was interesting that local high school ski teams started...

I had some biz at the W in Hoboken this week and figured I'd stop over at the indoor ski "run" at American Dream aka Xanadu next to Tuna Can Stadium in Rutherford, NJ. The drive down from Albany was littered with traffic, construction and state police cars - but drove right by the Bada Bing on...

The 10 year old boy, who looked woefully out of his depth, was basically unscathed after the fall. His dad, who skied the thin cover rather than the slide path, exacerbated it. But, truth be told, if my son was just swept away like that I'd probably panic too and race down what seemed like a...

A master class on what not to do in an avalanche. Both survived. Couldn't find the ski video thread. Feel free to remove, if needed. May 22 in Slovakia. https://streamable.com/tbvy5e

Thanks for the contribution, smart guy.

I was gonna go Gore mid week as the discount closes on 8/10. It's a really good deal for an excellent mountain. Hard to beat. But gas prices have me shook. It's an hour and a half from my house and I drive a V8 truck. Then I was like, Indy! Again. F'ing gas prices. And I really dig places...
