I absolutely acknowledge that Christmas week is not an ideal week to ski. However, I don’t have any family around here to celebrate the holidays with, and I don’t have kids. Sitting around on Christmas can get kind of dull if I don’t ski. In the line of work that I do I kind of have to take a...

We are going to pick up a couple Vermont four packs as well. However, I don’t have lodging lined up there. We used to go to the SWC club up near Stowe but I hear Stowe is an absolute kerfuffle now with parking and crowds.

Well, last xmas at Sugarbush was bitterly cold and boilerplate conditions with minimal terrain open. I doubt it will be any worse than that! At least they should make a little snow at WF and Gore. Actually I think one day last Christmas at Sugarbush the parking lot was an absolute skating rink...

That’s interesting. I would’ve guessed that Whiteface would have more snow just because they’re further north. It’s not clear to me on why the university games are going to affect terrain/services at the mountains. How are they related?

I am on Ski3 for the first time this year and am wondering how the snow coverage, % open, and crowds compare at Gore vs Whiteface in late December/Early Jan. Any observations? I’ve only skied at Gore once and it was fine. I’ve been at Whiteface 5-6 times and I’ve always had a blast there...

I was there on Sunday for my first ever Killington experience. Outer Limits, Superstar, and Wildfire had nice soft bumps. Really no ice there. Skylark and Skyburst were also fun. Pipeline was a disaster. There was so little snow it was like following a white ribbon maze and I kept being afraid I...

Yes, I did ski wheelchair. Coverage at the top was dicey if I remember correctly. Ice, bare spots, and a big boulder. It was probably the toughest trail to find a line down yesterday. The groomers will have a lot of work to patch up the bare spots and ponds that are forming in the run outs in...

I am in a similar spot. Just bought Ski3. Have Ikon Base Pass (rolled over from last year), Catamount/BE (rolled over from last year), and a Sugarbush employee dependent pass. Skied mostly at Sugarbush this season because Mr. Snowflake decided to teach up there. I only used my catamount pass one...

It was gorgeous at Windham today. No crowds, soft snow, good music, plenty of open fun blue/black runs to explore! Great mellow vibe there today. The only bumps I found were on The Wall. It’s getting thin out there. They may be done for the season after tomorrow’s rain. Today started out around...

I get bored of skiing the same mountain over and over. We stayed with friends at Sugarbush most of this season and I am ready to switch things up. I absolutely love Whiteface when there is fresh pow. I’ve only been to Gore twice. I’ve never been to Belle. All of them are drivable for a day trip...

I also have an Ikon pass and I’ve never been to Windham. I may not renew my Ikon pass so this might be my last chance to go to Windham for a while. Yes I’m coming from Albany. Windham is one hour and Gore and Belle are 90 minutes away. I have been at Sugarbush most of this season.

I just bought a ski3 pass… Debating between Gore or Belleayre or Windham on Friday. What would you recommend?

That is correct @Brownski. I read the post as saying Asians were as a group “F——“, which would be a racist thing to say.

Well that’s a relief. For people who don’t know that Fuglie is a brand of glasses the post reads as an insult to Asians. I double checked with my husband- had him read it before I told him what I thought it meant he said “that’s racist.”

@XTski What exactly do you mean by “enjoy the fuglies there”? This comes across as a racist statement.

I would be eager to ski on opening day or near opening day this year except I am recovering from a broken shoulder and I’m not sure I can pull my boots on in the car! In the lodge I could get a hand from my husband but it could be pretty awkward trying to get assistance in the wheel well of the...

@Harvey do we need a separate alternatives to NY Pizza thread??

@jasonwx - Other factors to consider are whether or not you want to use a mountain bike or road bike. With a wheel on trainer or rollers you need to have a slick tire. If you get a direct drive wheel off Trainer you don’t need a special tire (Or dedicated wheel with slick tire).That may be more...

How much do you wanna spend and how coordinated are you? The easiest and cheapest version would be to get a classic set of rollers and then add the wahoo speed and cadence sensors. Switching out bikes will be super easy. But rollers can be tricky. After that a wheel on trainer would be pretty...

I just did my first ride last night. It’s cool to have a virtual outdoor riding environment that’s got daylight when it’s dark in NY. The scenery is cool and it’s easy to get motivated to do intervals if you like chasing people down on a bike. I wanted to stay on the bike longer than my 7 mile...
