Yep. Ironic that they are displayed in the North. The symbol of losers, quite literally

This reminds me of when a friend from Upstate came to visit in Montana and one of his observations was "there are not confederate flags everywhere like in NY"

Isn't this a ski blog forum?

Yes! Thanks everyone for the insight and comments.

Really good point. They are both less than 3 now so I think it will be ok. We are concerned though if we give it a few years and it's not working out, another move might be hard. That's a little scary.

What would be your biggest worry? You just hope your kids pick friends with cool parents. ;)

I appreciate this, living in a place where Water Rights and irrigation are the cornerstone of human development. The tax situation is eye opening. In Montana we pay a fraction and seem to have much better services, schools, infrastructure, etc. Don't want to start a political debate but there...

Hit me up if you do it! Will be eager to make some friends, especially with those who like to shred. That's the hardest part... not knowing how it will work out from a social perspective. It's hard to meet people when you are parenting and working all the time. Out west I feel like it's easier...

I feel the same way. The horse scene is weird to me and I like that Glens Falls is tucked up against the hills and the river. I have a high tolerance for grit. Plus the two are close enough. I'd rather be 5 mins to skiing and 25 mins to fancy dinner than vice versa. I love the cold. And all the...

So... my family and I are very close to pulling the trigger on a move from SW Montana, arguably the best ski region in North America after interior BC, though that too is within road tripping distance, to Glens Falls, NY and just wanted to get peoples' insight. Trading alpenglow on the Bridgers...

As people say, waxing skis is like skiing powder. You can't do it too much. I'm do intrigued by Phantom. This off season I'm going to pull the trigger. @MarzNC do you ever wax your Phantom skis for extra glide in certain conditions?

Sign me up. While on the subject maybe there is a way to get a few brush hog passes on the Highmount Trails. The Beast! Hahaha. They retired that thing? Good

If you're on a monoski

Only a few minutes. There is a low angle traverse on the way out too but enough of a pitch that you can just sit back and check out the woods. The lean-to is perfect for blazing before you drop in

This seems so reasonable: https://www.picomountain.com/the-mountain/mountain-info/uphill-travel

Cool. The same Teepee Creek that drains to Grayling Creek and eventually Hebgen?

No kidding. It's like a 32° sustained pitch with maybe a little steeper at the convex rollover, so relatively mellow. He was smart to go up into that safe zone at the bottom. Can't let your guard down. :) Sounds like you spent some time in BozeAngeles.

Yeah it's not a good situation. I believe the Madison watershed is currently sitting at 60%. I love ? rind... just a little more of a drive. Unfortunately the snow pack is really weak from a long period of cold with no new snow.

Noting too cool but can't sleep so thought I'd share. This is one of my local spots when I get a short hall pass. We are in a low tide right now in what seems like all of the US except maybe the PNW. 15" at 7600' in Jan? Yikes. Is this snow or surface hoar on facets? Hmmm. The snowpack...

Sad how all east coast skiing hopes and dreams are crushed by climate change. Anyway, about the thread drift and I'm trying to stay optimistic (quixotic) here... my takeaway is that ORDA, as a public agency, has a responsibility to promote health, fitness, and recreation and in theory should be...
