    me too. I can't believe I haven't been doing this all along.

    Whiteface Conditions

    I found Skyward to be excellent and it didn't seem to get a ton of traffic this morning (maybe too cold?) . Most everything else I tried was pretty variable with some windblown, some powder, some ice. Wilmington was less variable, just firm. Mountain Run and Wilderness were probably my next...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Me too, they are super fun. I first bought the 88s during the pandemic which I ski on here and recently bought the 96s which I use whenever I go west. I put shift bindings on the 96s and can tour with them in a pinch.

    I'll be the dude skiing like an aggressive french woman on Elan Ripsticks. I'll buy an adult beverage for anyone here that spots me.

    Aiguille du Midi is a great one. I used to ski in Chamonix every year when I was a teenager (I was living in Brussels back then) and Aiguille was my favorite. It's been so long since I've been on it that I didn't feel I could still list it. Sure nice to see it here though.

    Poll: The Impact of the Epic Pass

    oh boy. That's not an argument, that's name calling. I expect more from you. Maybe you're just trying to generate a reply? I think it's understandable that people are upset with some of the impacts of the mega pass and overcrowding is one of those impacts. It has nothing to do with elitism. My...

    Poll: The Impact of the Epic Pass

    I get that. Of course there's all sorts of people and there were probably people before the mega passes that wanted to raise prices for similar reasons. I just don't think it's really the driving issue here and bringing it in to this does your argument a disservice. I withdraw "I don't think...

    Poll: The Impact of the Epic Pass

    I generally agree with what you're saying. Making skiing more affordable is a good thing but when you use terms like "exclusive" and "budget conscious" the way you are it insinuates a class tension that I think is unnecessary here. What's going on at Stowe and elsewhere isn't about rich folks...

    What is your dream?

    The "commute" for me is not daily. We have an apartment in NYC where I work. I walk to work. My decompression occurs when I make the four hour drive to our house in Wilmington. There is no decompression while we're in the city. Fortunately my wife is WFH and I only have to be physically in the...

    What is your dream?

    I like having some real distance between work and play. I don't think 45 minutes would be enough for me to decompress from city mentality to a more country state of mind.
