The real question should be which mountains are fairly challenging that do not make snow or have limited snowmaking. There probably aren’t many. MRG stands out and has really good terrain. Others? Sent from my iPhone using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

Schoolmarm to paymaster running Montezuma lift. Need to take gondola up and then lap Montezuma then gondola back down. On another note, A Basin was good today for WROD got our mugs too. It is clear epic is not there anymore it was ski on ski off in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

Plus while Vail has Stowe it also has Okemo so Jay Peak might be a nice Canadian draw for Vail Sent from my iPhone using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

Never understood Vail’s pricing! I can get the Epic Veterans Pass for $529. Also. You can get the Epic Local Pass for $110 more than the 6 flex pass. I am sure they set it up that way to get people to buy full passes. We are getting confused - too many pass products to decide on. A Basin Veterans Pass is $199 which we will definitely get. Liberty Pass for Veterans is $269 for Keystone. Epic Veterans Pass at $529 is pretty sweet too but no A Basin which for us is key to a long season and no partner resorts, just Vail owned. Epic Local is $699. Which gives us a Japan trip option in Habuka, and lots of partner resorts. Loveland Pass is $419 and gives us about 6-9 days at other resorts. Current plan is A Basin and Loveland. Sent from my iPhone using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

Well for us the season has been really good. The number of days are not quite as high as we would have liked but non skiing vacations killed about four weekends. We got a ton of snow in Colorado and conditions were great all season. We got to ski powder with 900 acres open on October 13th at Wolf Creek which was a first for us since most early openings are WROD. As it stands we will probably make it to the third weekend in June and possibly later. We also plan to hike St Mary’s glacier and get turns in July so our story still unfolds.

I have Columbia jacket and pants and a north face packable that I wear on cold days under my jacket. I just throw it in the laundry with regular detergent. Washed 3 times this season and had them for 2 years. We buy every 3-4 years. Never really thought about washing gear much, clearly! Sent from my SM-G930V using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

That run is straight and pretty wide with de ent pitch. I think people get too confident. Any one of us could catch an edge or scrape out etc and have bad results. That must have been scary while sliding down. What were conditions like that day? Sent from my SM-G930V using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

Awesome trip! Sent from my SM-G930V using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app

I so want to jump all over this. Back east I skied 97 underfoot as a daily driver. Now in CO I am skiing fats that rail super smooth and driver over crud like it is not there and floats on powder like a dream. Fat skis and mid fats for that matter are so technically improved that making them a daily driver out west is not an issue. Even today with 2 feet of fresh at Breck 122 underfoot is awesome. Love my skis, also love my mid fats as well. I would love to see skinny skis in the woods here today. Trees are deep! Ski what feels good to you.
