    ADK Backcountry

    Happy weekend everyone. I hope folks have fun at the Mountaineer's Mountainfest this weekend! I got in a cool tour this morning, old T Bar line up Marble Mountain. Plenty steep, quick approach, coverage was OK but some classic ADK trail skiing. Those trees have really grown in! Of note: I heard...

    Whiteface Conditions

    Ari here. I haven't skied there in a tutu yet, but Whiteface is my home mtn these days. Damn it's been a great season so far. Mixed feelings about blasting snow in spots like Hoyt's, but overall the ops have been super impressive this year. Cloudspin (pictured), stuff off Northway, and Lookout...

    Hickory Conditions

    I think you passed me on the up yesterday Huezee! Sorry to see the carnage, I thought the cover on Hare, Top Notch, Winfall wasn't bad. Maybe I just got lucky. This place is a gem in my book- I hope they're able to open back up this season, although it seemed like those surface lifts still need...

    FS: Full Tilt Last Chair 120 27.5 boots (SOLD)

    Thanks for the kind words. If my carving skis weren't mounted for 317mm boots, I'd be keeping them for sure!

    FS: Full Tilt Last Chair 120 27.5 boots (SOLD)

    FS: Tecnica Mach 1 120 HV 27.5 boots

    Several model years old, but look to have seen very little use/abuse. Very high quality Made in Italy boot, good for advanced/expert resort skiers. Only selling because they are too wide for my feet, I missed that they were the HV vs MV width. Pertinent info listed below: 27.5 size - 315mm BSL...

    The College Thread: Skiing, Academics, Experiences.

    Ideally... I've been involved with natural resource work just over a decade. Happy to chat more privately if it could be helpful. I am glad to have stayed in state (VA) for undergrad, financially. I graduated from JMU from the B.S. Integrated Science and Technology program in 2010. I factored...

    Need help deciding where to visit regularly (from Pittsburgh)

    I feel like the Canaan Valley / Dolly Sods area is worth mentioning again... Not too far of a drive. Canaan Valley and Timberline ski resorts, Whitegrass XC area. I've really enjoyed closeby places like Dolly Sods and Blackwater Falls in non-ski seasons. It was unexpected how much the 'Alleghany...

    Alpine Touring Thread

    Most counties have GIS 'parcel viewer' pages online. As with old roads, terrain traps, maps, things on the ground subject to change. Obviously, resources are limited versus flashy stuff like RASTA zones, Devils Path parking, etc. And yes, being respectful and mindful seems good policy. Honestly...

    Alpine Touring Thread

    I'm adding miles to tours this weekend I can access from my house, out of respect for private property. I've driven to scout a spot that I verified as public, to find it posted, and leave. Also have asked for permission when folks seemed approachable. Neighbors shooting across a gas pipeline in...

    Shop Talk

    TBD w the Pomoca mix. Albany shop carries em. They're def. lighter than my old g3 alpinist, better glide without any less traction. Solid so far, that said besides needing a reglue, the g3 were going strong, after 4+ seasons

    Shop Talk

    My thought is to pay for a shop to do the mount. I've mounted 100+ bindings, having a jig is the move imo... In Breck we were dirt cheap at $50. Doing it without one could work for ya... Too expensive, high-engineered gear for me to 'just send' on the install. Also measure each ski- I've seen...

    Windham Conditions

    Posted in a public FB group? Your opinion appreciated here... No vehicle for a while: clutch went out while switchbacking up to ski Mohonk yesterday. Likely failure with hydraulics. Mellow skiing around home is it, happy to have gotten safely off the road :/

    Recommendations for 2nd Ski (Start of a quiver)

    I like your list, those skis are the type I was gonna recommend! I demoed these 17-18 models, currently ski on '20/21 Head Kore 99s. To me, Ranger feels the most 'powerful' but still responsive. Rustler slightly more 'stable' feeling vs. poppy, The Nordica even more so- slightly damper, and...

    Fun local laps (and a Catskills trip) this week. So good! I'm really enjoying people sharing the 'backyard lines' they're getting after!
