NYSkiBlog Authors Wanted

We’re interested in additional authors for NYSkiBlog this winter. Authors could contribute their own content or pics. Things that might make you right for the job include:

  • Desire to write and shoot for NYSkiBlog
  • Catskill, Adirondack or NY skier
  • Lift served or backcountry
  • Use some kind of mobile device

We’d love to have trip reports from across New York State posted all season long. Whiteface, Gore, Hunter, Belleayre, Plattekill, and McCauley passholders are ideal…people who get to the mountain regularly. We’re also very interested in Hickory and Big Tupper.

Ski Gear Lust: Winter 09-10

Technica Dragon 100Thus it begins again. A very wise man once said that the best money you’ll ever spend on new gear, will be for your girl. This is going to be girl gear year.

On the recommendation of one knowledgeable HighPeaksDrifter we visited Steiner’s Sports in Glenmont NY. These guys are known for their boot fitting, and in my mind that’s where it all starts when it comes to ski gear.

Boots above are Technica Dragon 100 UFs. Ski’s below are K2 True Luvs. I haven’t a clue about alpine gear, and would love to hear opinions…is this the gear that will get my girl from brave, motivated beginner to intermediate?
