    Nordic Boot Questions - NNN BC

    So I bought a set of Nordic BC skis (Fischer Outback 68) and need a set of boots now. I don't know much about nordic other than I borrowed someones gear last season for a group outing in LP and enjoyed it enough to pick up a pair of skis to tool around on from time to time maybe on a bad resort...

    Help me remember something skiing related from early 2000s

    I'm trying to remember something related to where I used checked skiing conditions and "pictures of the day" and stuff like that, and I believe there was some discussion board of some type as well, prior to being part of this site or TGR, this would have been late 90s to early/mid 2000's, so...

    iPhone Photos Rotated?

    I have had issues on the old forum and now the new forum when posting from iPhone. The photos show up rotated depending on how the phone was held when taking the photos, it can impact the rotation when uploading. They appear right side up in your photo stream, but I guess if the original photo...

    Alyeska, AK 4-21-19

    Day 2, Sunday: Caught a redeye flight from Seattle to Anchorage, putting me in AK around 2am. This would be my first time in Anchorage, which wasn't my final work destination, but close enough to be within an hour flight of where I needed to end up by Monday. Since it was already 2am, and...

    Jay Peak 4/11/19

    Took a detour on my way home from Burlington up to Jay. Hadn’t been there in many years, and it was on my to-do list this winter, just never made it up there earlier this season. Took advantage of the opportunity of being in NoVT for business and got a awesome weather window this past...

    Ski Land, AK: 4/15/18

    A biz trip landed me in interior Alaska for a week...with a Sunday to burn and some previous research I did when I found out I may be heading to AK...I made sure to pack my ski boots. Interior AK is not known for the usual huge mountain ranges you may think of when you hear Alaska...though they...

    Chamonix/Courmayeur 2/20-23/18

    Started this trip out with 3 days in Paris, then got a one way rental car to head to the Chamonix Valley (and fly out of Geneva). 6 hour drive from Paris to Chamonix was nice, mostly countryside with some small villages seen set on hillsides. Once you pass Geneva (and pay mucho $$$ for tolls!)...

    Whiteface 4/1-4/2/17 with Slides!

    Decided to chase the storm with my dad (Jon951), for what might be the closing weekend of our 2017 ski season. With the weather looking like the last real winter weekend, and a 12"+ forecast for Friday into Saturday, we knew we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We were going to originally take...

    A-Basin 3/1/17

    Friday was the last ski day of the trip before heading to Denver for a night out and a flight on Saturday. The snow forecast for A-basin wasn't looking like anything crazy...but starting out the week with springlike weather was making half a foot sound pretty deep. Woke up to cloudy skies and...

    Glenwood Springs/Sunlight/Breckenridge 2/28/17

    Thursday was supposed to be an 'off' day, but the forecast was calling for snow, so I was trying to figure out a way to ski somehow. Our plan included heading out of Aspen Wednesday night down to Glenwood Springs, to save some money on the lodging and start working our way back towards the...

    Aspen Highlands 2/27/17

    Wednesday was another warmer day, sun out. We headed over to Aspen Highlands via the free bus from Snowmass. The free bus system they have in town is pretty seamless, worked great. Again thinking it might be crowded, we got up pretty early and caught a bus around 8, lifts spun at 9. Got...

    Denver > Snowmass, Roaring Fork Valley 2/26/17

    As many of you may have heard from my other post looking for CO advice, my wife and I headed out for presidents week (yeh, I know, crowds, but she's a teacher so I'm stuck! (but I was wrong about crowds). This would be her first western ski experience, certainly not a first for me. However...
