The FIS Women's World Cup is coming back to Killington for it's third iteration this coming November. It just get better every year. Women's GS and SL on Superstar. @ChunderBlunder and myself will be there again this year. I've already booked our lodging. If you intend to go you may want to...

Thank you Tricia and Phil for always being supportive of our work and for your friendship. Hard to think we have only virtually met, though despite our relationship being virtual for all these years now (about 5), we really feel like we have been friends longer. One day we hope to ski with you...

Is this one of you? That's 3000 runs if they're 2000 feet high. 25 runs per day if done over 120 days. CRAZY...

I live in Florida...need I say more ;) but man oh man I know its only April 9th but I just know in a few months it will be August and I will be setting my plans for next winter. I didn't get to go this winter so I'm dying here (but I heard this season wasn't the best). I can't wait for next year...

There are a number of ski areas across the Northeast that are fairly close to one another. Which do you prefer: · Killington or Okemo · Mt Snow or Stratton · Stowe or Smugglers Notch · Sugarbush or Mad River · Catamount or Jiminy Peak · Hunter or Windham · Bromley or Magic ·...

It appears former Jay Peak and Burke Mountain owners Ariel Quiros and Bill Stenger have reached a civil settlement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and surrendered ownership of Jay and Burke. The resorts remain under control of a government appointed receiver...

If I am skiing on baldy relying on snowmaking (eg no recent snow) would the experience be similar to skiing at a vermont area with snowmaking and no recent snow. Supposedly sun valley has state of the art equipment. Thanks for any useful info.

Winter's Promise - by Alicia Alba Most people think of winter as the coldest season of the year, for hibernating for migrating (To some place warm) But we say if you are going to live in the cold you might as well start skiing and join in the fun. You never know what to expect, Every year...

Killington has apparently decided to close today because of cold weather. That seems excessive for a winter sports resort. I’m sure glad I didn’t make the trip there this weekend.

No, not that kind of wind, ya goons! Today was crazy windy at Mt. Snow, and though I don't have any issues with heights or chairlifts in general, I found myself a little anxious as the wind picked up late morning and the gusts really started to hit the chairs hard and make them lurch, both...

Here's one from Last Sunday Nov5th This one was taken today about 11AM Surprisingly the snow was pretty good for early season.

Mount Snow will have 14 trails open this weekend - more than any other resort in the East. Planned terrain for opening day includes top-to-bottom skiing on: Cascade Canyon Free Fall Long John Additional trails planned for Saturday include: Deer Run River Run Little John Launch Pad More...

Does anyone know when the section of Mountain Road between Stowe and Smugg's closes (if it has not done so already)?

It's time to resurrect the dormant New England Gathering. We didn't have an official one last year and two years ago was the "winter that wasn't" (and I was on, uhhh, medical leave anyway). Historically the Gathering has been in Northern Vermont sometime in mid March to take advantage of a...

Snowmaking was going on the North Ridge extending down to within 100 ft of the base of the North Ridge Triple as of 2:30 this afternoon. We are locked and loaded ready for the starting gun. .

Right. I either suck at searching, or I got lazy too fast. Either way, I can't seem to find results on a Jay for Dummies thread, so I'll make my own and have it binned if the powers that be see fit. I've done some skiing in Vermont previous, and have another trip on the books for Killington in...

Just putting it out there to see who will be in attendance. I'll be there Thursday night through Monday and on top of tickets for the races I have a pair of Lift Tickets to burn.........

:bestday: In the spirit of the best quotes of the season it's time to share your BEST ski day ever story.... or at least 1 of your top 5. After some ski banter PMs with @Muleski I was reminded of this one, a top 5 anyway. My god parents now in their 80s and still big time skiers invited us to...

Three of them. http://www.grindtv.com/skiing/3-ski-areas-you-can-buy-right-now/ Blacktail Maple Valley Marshall I am wondering about this statement, though: "Just 7 miles outside of Missoula, Marshall Mountain offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of ski history within a snowball’s...
