Exactly like that.

Maybe it’s because I only started paying attention to the Northeast Skiology page this year, but it seems like a page for fiddling as Rome burns……or posting pics and stories of the ski industry circling the drain. It’s like non-stop “this storm is going to miss you”, “look at what Vail did...

As a somewhat local and Cannon passholder for the last 14 years, this narrative is like catnip for a large % of the diehard Cannon crowd. They love anything that reinforces the no frills/terrible weather/bulletproof surface conditions reputation of the place.

I really don’t know about the reconfiguration of the summit, but that seems to be roughly where people have always stopped (to strap in for snowboarding as there is finally some steady pitch for intermediate riders to use after the flat summit area, and also for people to take in the view of the...

You gotta bend ‘em like Beckham. Arc ‘em or park ‘em. It’s annoying, but it’s a holiday week with limited terrain. (And almost half the people pictured are on skis, fyi) Is that top of Cloud and new darkside chair?

WTF…….I never check in on the off topic anymore. Totally missed this.

I have not. Although I’m familiar with it. Heck I don’t have a lot of days at Cochran’s big name neighbors even.

I have been trying to get to the “fairly local to me” community run ski areas over the last few years. The Kanc Recreation Area in Lincoln, NH: ~200 vert, rope tow, night skiing, lots of HS race team training when I have been there. Veterans Memorial Ski Area in Franklin, NH: 230 vert with a...

Of course, there are always outliers and external factors that are variables. Northeasterners generally are thought to have a “me first” mentality (particularly the closer you are to Boston) and many bring that attitude to the slopes with them. Senses of entitlement are stronger and more...

“On your left” is a simple courtesy that comes from an earlier time. The responsibility code merely states that the downhill skier has the right of way, and that it is your responsibility, as the uphill skier, to avoid them. It would seem to me that stating your location in relation to the...

I am way over the frenzy of the powder sharks. Part of it is probably just age. When I was a teen/20 year old, there was something exciting about a day when so many people were jazzed about skiing. Now it induces dread. Turning into burnt out old fart. Also, I know this has been talked about...

Looks like my adult NH resident season pass for Cannon costs about as much as a teen Ski3 Orda pass. There also is a half price day ticket Wednesday/non holiday for NH residents. Probably been said but the difference is that biggest customer base for ORDA is NY residents. Biggest customer...

I know people who live in the sea coast area of NH/Maine who do it pretty regularly. Morning surf close to home, drive to Wildcat, Black, Cannon or wherever for afternoon skiing. If you broaden your idea of surfing to include whitewater, I’ve done it a bunch of times. When I lived in...

I get all that. I know that nobody who is a Vail/Breck/Beav regular is headed to get some epic’s worth of PA skiing. I used to raft guide in the vicinity of the new acquisitions and have skied 2 of 3. It’s just an interesting factoid with numbers. Vail is iconic to Colorado (destination...

Oh I get it.
