In terms of Berkshire East- Are days trips from NY to MA for skiing currently OK per MA travel policies?

I would be very interested in earning some turns Fri. Given the prep for opening weekend, I assume this would only work if it was OK'd by them...

Loading a day ticket onto the Ski3 was not working online this AM... Quick answer from Belle staff, known issue should be good soon... **An FYI for anyone with the Ski3 Discount card- I was told you do not need to reserve/purchase the 1st day (its free w the Ski3 card), just show up and it...

At least skiing is allowed in most 'Forever Wild' lands, to my knowledge. As a mountain biker in Catskill park, I can rip awesome trails on private lands at Roundtop and at 'Elm Ridge Wild Forest' but not continue into the 'Windham-Blackhead Range Wilderness'. In terms of Dacks snowmobiling...

In terms of ski trails on public land, NY seems difficult. NY 'Forever Wild' lands like Catskill and ADK make it very difficult to design/build new trail or rehab forgotten ones that'd make for good skiing. Multi-use trails are definitely prioritized over sport specific trails, although there...

I got to see a group of 3 bobcat around Wassaic couple weeks ago... cool to see the group trot together uphill for ~1/4 mile

2017 Hut trip with my girlfriend outside of Aspen. Aspen Highlands Spring 2018. Employee-only ski day day after Breck closed, mid-April 2013. Platty opening day last season.

Backcountry and XC when Ullr is kind, hiking and biking otherwise

I'm switching from G3 Alpinist to Pomoca Climb 2.0 for this season. Nylon is grippiest, mohair (natural) slides better, the Pomoca is a mix that hopefully performs well and is much lighter. Kept hearing good things about Pomoca, and High Adventure Ski and Bike outside Albany sells them, they...

Stuart's Storm Skiing Journal podcast is great, I've enjoyed hearing from resort owners and managers as well as 'media' folks from NELSAP and Vermont Ski+Ride. Way more interesting then many 'pro interviews' and gear discussions imo. Another source I like for regional news/weather/conditions is...

I really like skiing. It has had a huge positive impact on my life, fitness, friendships, jobs, etc... But the $1m would be way too huge to provide long-term security with home ownership, being able to support kids, offer help to family and friends... Biking tho would require many mill for me to...

Good mountain biking season thus far (based in the mid Hudson Valley)... new faves include Green Mountain Trails (Pittsfield, VT) and North Creek Ski Bowl. New trails at Jockey Hill are a blast its a big network now, Tannersville trails def worth a quick rip also, 909 and Elm Ridge beauts as...

Barely used Salomon QST 99 skis, 2018-2019 model, 180 cm length. Marker Kingpin 10 bindings mounted at recommended for a 314 mm (27.5) boot. +/- around 5 mm to fit slightly different boot sizes without a remount. This binding requires a tech-toe boot. Used G3 Alpinist skins also included. Great...

Wow. Dirt Rag earlier this year and now Bike Mag, and Powder. All have been favorites over the years. Bike Mag when Mike Ferrentino (?) was editor was really top-notch. Bummer for sure.

I'll add to some thoughts- having lived in Breck/Frisco/Leadville for 6 years this thread makes me a lil homesick! I had an Epic and (occasional) Copper pass, skied some other big and indie areas too... Abasin is amazeballs! The new Beavers chair makes opens up tons of great trees, without the...
