    We've been touring at Titus the last two days with the Fischer S-Bounds and it is fantastic. Corn snow, great conditions, and a lot of fun. I may bring out the AT gear tomorrow to go after the Upper Mountain. The mountain re-opens Friday at noon, I'm hoping for a corn fest.

    Just found out that Titus is closing mid-week now, and will be open weekends only for a bit. While I understand the reasons, this is definitely disappointing given the excellent conditions. Anyway, this is why we have skins, so we are going to tour at Club Titus now! We're headed to Le Massif...

    Yesterday, we got some rain, then we woke to a bit of snow. It snowed throughout the day, but didn't amount to that much. Today we woke up to 8 inches or so at the house, and there was more on the mountain. Everything has great cover and is just wonderful. There was some good untracked this...

    We've been out skiing, and had some company, so I'm a bit behind on ski reports. Here it is, Titus is skiing amazing right now, everything is open, everything is soft. Best skiing of the last two seasons easily. It's going to warm up and soften a bit today, but I don't think it's going to...

    Quick note, yesterday, after the rain, was warm and corn. Great spring conditions. It froze last night, and we got 3-4 inches of sort of dense snow. I thought we were going to get dust on crust, but the skiing is really great. 100% open, with good cover. The Upper Mountain was closed...

    Well, the skiing has been great, it softened up the day before yesterday, and is raining hard now. I'm not sure how much snow we will lose, I don't think much, but the soft powder is gone. On Monday we did a great tour to Moose Lake, and skied this morning before the rain. It looks like some...

    Ski Waxing

    I like to wax every days if I can, if the edges are ok I'll skip them for a day or two, but I like to get the burrs off and have a smooth edge at the very least. I've used my mom's old iron for close to 60 years now, the temperature adjustment is good. I find somewhere between rayon and silk...

    Skiology... What's your take?

    He lost a lot of friends in Vermont during the pandemic, and he tried to get a friend of mine fired from his job. Who needs it?

    Sorry we missed you, were were skiing the Upper first thing, pretty much all day. Outer Edge was great. Chair 1 is skiing really really well, it's closed today, and with a few inches of fresh for tomorrow it should be great, if you can stand the cold.
