    Leaving Dog in Car while Skiing

    I have never left my dog in the car while I’ve gone skiing before. However, Friday looks like a day where I may need to give that a try. I do see lots of people in parking lots with dogs in their trucks or SUVs. Do I have to worry about some crazy person breaking my window or calling the police...

    East/West trail difficulty rating comparisons

    I have never been skiing out west, but I have been to a lot of mountains here on the east. How do the trail ratings compare at say Whiteface/Killington/Stowe/Sunday River/Sugarbush with trail ratings at Whistler Blackcomb? If you can ski all the blues without fear at these east coast mountains...

    Whiteface vs. Gore over Xmas and NYE?

    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...

    Anybody on Zwift?

    I just started using Zwift and I LOVE it! It’s such a blast and an excellent workout even with my cheapo setup (Dumb fluid trainer, road bike, Iphone, Ipad, Wahoo speed and cadence sensors). Problem is I only know 2 people on Zwift. Anyone here on Zwift?

    Catamount, Berkshire East + Bousquet

    Anyone have info on what the skiing will be like at Catamount/Berkshire East/Bousquet this season? For us that need to ski weekends how crowded do u think it will be? Will it be more or less crowded for day or night skiing? I’m guessing that even if it gets kind of bad it will be nowhere near...

    Alpine Touring Thread

    So who else is planning to earn their turns this season and avoid the Covid crowds? Did you buy new gear? Or do you have AT or Tele gear already? What is your setup and where do you plan to ski? I just bought: - Line Pandora 84 skis - Marker Alpinist 8 bindings - Scarpa Gea Boots - Adjustable...

    NY Uphill or Alpine Touring Routes

    As insurance against the Covid situation, I have decided to invest in Alpine touring gear for the season. Because of the 14 day quarantine requirements in Vermont I am trying to plan out places to do alpine touring in New York. I am open to going to regular resorts/downhill ski mountains that...

    Mount Snow 2-13-20

    Mount snow got 4 inches of fresh snow last night and it all fell on top of whatever grooming they did. There was no corduroy in sight this morning. I’m still learning how to ski and fresh snow/ungroomed trails, and today was a great day to practice that. It appears lots of other people at Mount...
