    Hickory Ski Center Might Be Reopening

    That’s exciting! A really cool place. I lived in Warrensburg for 6 winters….Hickory was open (barely) for the first 3, closed for the final 3. I could see the top of Birch Run/Ridge Run/Winter Run from the side yard of my house. I skied there when it was open only about 5 or 6 times. I would...

    SAD, but make it hot

    Ski forum in the summer might as well have softballs thrown. Maybe a sacrifice bunt or two.

    Hickory may be back soon

    I like it. Can’t believe the same two Republicans are still running against each other like 15 years later. I wish him luck.

    SAD, but make it hot

    I am skeptical, and I don’t like to belittle anyone’s diagnoses, but it just is an article about people who have summertime seasonal affective disorder instead of winter. Not related to skiing necessarily. Some combination of pollen, humidity, and general anxiety about social situations. I am...

    Hickory may be back soon

    What is more “pie in the sky”: Bringing lift service skiing back to Hickory? Or running for Warrensburg supervisor as a Democrat?

    Are snow blades just really short skis?

    Those Bigfeet were rippers. No joke. Carving arcs a few years before the crazy Elans and the K2 Fours and other early shaped skis.

    She was born inNYS, but we moved to NH years ago. UNH or some other “state flagship” is probably more likely.

    Well, you know she has skipped some powder days and bluebird spring skiing days in order to reach this point! ??‍♂️

    The Horse Thread

    We have raised our kids as townies, but my younger daughter, currently a junior in HS, has become quite the equestrian lately. She kind of got into it late compared to lots of horse girls. Has always been an animal nerd. Trained our dog in agility when she was 9. In 2013, on a cross country...

    Black Fly Season

    The ancient wisdom handed down says traditional season is ~ Mother’s Day to Father’s Day. But can vary based on early warmth or a late frost.

    Sorry that I seem to have derailed the NTN thread with duckbill platitudes!

    Coronavirus and Skiing

    A lot of these people have wanted to move to a more “lifestyle” oriented location for years, but were tied to their job’s location. “WFH” has exploded in the last year and has no doubt changed how lots of jobs will be done permanently. They often are coming from a location where the prices are...

    The NTN Thread

    I’m sure I’ll wind up with a forced upgrade eventually. Still, there is something cool about skiing on an evolution of the 75mm platform. Lots of history. Almost 100 years. I have only tried NTN once, shortly after it came around. Didn’t like the flex of the set up I used. Plus, like I said...

    The NTN Thread

    I’m still on the duck bill vibe. Just because I resist change. I replaced my boots 3 seasons ago when I couldn’t weld the bellows crack. Then broke a ski a year later. Both were mid winter things that had to be addressed quickly, so short term, stop gap decisions were made. In retrospect...
