    Stratton Conditions

    Wasn’t a bad day today. We got a lot of runs in give the lack of lines. Warm temps softened things up. Problem was the fog which made for some tough visibility. They had a short bump run and I got a Christmas present pointer on my form from a guy in a Santa hat who was zipper lining it.

    Never been on anything close to those crazy 80s race skis.

    Where are you skiing this week?

    We'll be hitting Gore on Saturday - the webcams make it look look they made a nice recovery from the Monday storm. Probably hard and fast but weather looks nice. We'll also make it out on Monday (We don't celebrate Xmas) trying to decide on Big K or Stratton using our Ikon pass.

    Ski Length

    Thanks for all the input. My goal is to be skiing into my 70s and beyond. I haven't tried tele skiing but if I can still get runs in for the next 20+ years I will call it a success. I'm happy skiing the 181s and don't mind the burn, I like being physical with my skiing and the challenge of...

    Ski Length

    It seems to me that there are several 45+ skiers on this forum. Was curious if people have been moving to shorter skis as they age. I'm 49 and 5'9 and about 165lbs advanced (not expert skier). I just got a new pair of J Ski - Masterblasters and got them at 181. The next size down was 174...

    North Creek Snow Train

    https://snowbrains.com/north-creek-ny-snow-train-celebrates-90th-anniversary/ Interesting to see where some of the trail names at Gore come from.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Looking significantly better from what it looked like just yesterday (based on webcams). Sounds like more terrain this weekend!

    Where are you skiing this week?

    Looking forward to my first days this weekend. Gore on Saturday with my younger son and Stratton on Sunday with my older son who can't ski on Saturday because of a basketball game. Weather looks rainy but we'll take our chances and hope things are at least soft. First time with 2 passes. We...

    Bring the Stoke

    No ski vouchers this year but they had some decent raffle prizes - a couple of $75 gift cards to High Adventure Ski Shop, a weekend at Stowe with lodging, a Ski Jacket, some other stuff I can't remember. they also were throwing out a lot of t-shirts and DVDs but we didn't' catch any. It was a...

    Bring the Stoke

    It was structured a bit differently than in previous versions. Instead of covering a few skiers at different mountains, it was more of a celebration of 74 years of Warren Miller films so they covered skiing in different decades (skis, style, gear, apres etc). It was fun to see how styles change...

    Bring the Stoke

    Good turnout at the Warren Miller film last weekend at the Egg in Albany. Seemed nearly sold out. The stoke was high.

    New Gear for this Season

    They sent you a free new pair? How'd you manage that? My Kore 105s have maybe 10 days on them and they look like they fell off the roof rack going down 87!

    New Gear for this Season

    J had a $100 off code Bob100. It may have expired on Labor Day but if you like the skis you could probably email them.

    New Gear for this Season

    I'm no expert but I like them - they are on the heavy side though. The skis I always hear good things about and always look to when I start dreaming of news new ones are: Enforcers 93/94- solid all around ski for icy days, groomers, and up to 6' of fresh. Very confident skis. When you get them...

    New Gear for this Season

    RTMs were my first skis. My son had been using them last season and then we switched one day, he took my enforcers and I used the RTMs. I never got the enforcers back. I didn't want to be on the RTMs this year and the Kore 105 are too wide for daily use. After coming from the enforcers the...
