    What is your favorite ski area close to ALB?

    I was looking at the Belleayre map (I've never been) and a couple of YT vids tonight and their terrain layout looks interesting - seems like you can drop in to varying terrain from multiple crosses and access lifts throughout. Long runs, med runs, etc. I'm strictly a mid-week half-day skier who...

    Big Snow - American Dream - 9/14/22

    I had some biz at the W in Hoboken this week and figured I'd stop over at the indoor ski "run" at American Dream aka Xanadu next to Tuna Can Stadium in Rutherford, NJ. The drive down from Albany was littered with traffic, construction and state police cars - but drove right by the Bada Bing on...

    Terrifying

    A master class on what not to do in an avalanche. Both survived. Couldn't find the ski video thread. Feel free to remove, if needed. May 22 in Slovakia. https://streamable.com/tbvy5e

    NY Ski Expo

    The NY Ski Expo and Craft Brew Fest is scheduled for November 4-6 at the Albany Capital Center. I went years ago when it was in the Plaza - before the brew fest thing was included. Is this worth attending? It's been a couple of years since it was held. Are there deals on gear or passes or...

    Brodie Mountain

    Anyone want to chip in and revive Brodie? Used to be my school's ski club spot. Loved that place. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2022/03/24/for-sale-massachusetts-ski-resort/amp/

    Quick poll for my friends

    Decided to take tomorrow off and deciding between Berkshire East and West. Never been to BEast and was looking forward to scoping a new mountain + driving my new truck a bit. West is really close and my home Mt. And I was hoping to do some scouting for other Indy resorts in 2022-2023...

    Anybody use Curated.com to buy gear?

    I swear I just had a better conversation chatting with one of their experts then I did at my local shop. And obviously they have access to way more stuff.

    West Mountain, NY - 2/9/22

    Not the sexiest mountain the world, but the weather was just too good to not spend an excellent few hours outdoors. I was hoping today would be a Gore day (and I'm sure it was awesome as well) but my schedule didn't work out for a longer drive. Stupid work. And truth be told, if you're...

    Heading out Wednesday

    North of Albany or south of Albany is the question. Supposed to be really nice on Wednesday. What say the experts? Mid week limits my options for sure. Was thinking Gore.

    Back at it after 10+ years

    New to the forum but I've found it to be really great reading. I grew up skiing all over the NE and made trips out West several times - then college happened, marriage, kids - and all the good stuff that comes with it. But after last winter feeling trapped inside during the winter, I decided...
