i would shy away from Gore, unless everyone is really on board with just going there to ski. Lodging options might be a little better then Bell, but still its rural mountainous New York. where we stayed the sidewalks got rolled up really early. Food options were really limited within close proximity. Couldnt even find a Sizzler.

took that right from the Jack Frost Handbook. I think there are 10 named trails on east mountain.

leaves are done falling at my place in the Poconos. i knew i should have taken a picture for Ridede.

seems to be the going rate if you are not purchasing equipment from them. Alpina by JF is the same.

That is correct. unfortunately i have to use BB as a stepping stone to Jf early season. So, yeah, probably 80% of their early season ticket sales are for people into park. That number is probably less the first few days with people wanting to just get out at the start of the season.

2 days i think gets freedom open. i really wish that they would reconsider just blasting that one stupid trail. we all know they are just doing it to say they are the first to open, but if anyone recalls, last year they opened with that trail, but lacked opening anything else the following weekend. Blue actually opened with something somewhat legit while they were still patting themselves on the back for getting freedom open.

so, take it for what its worth, but lots of people saying we get pretty cold next week. Does it stick around? Are they "ready to blow"? Can BIg Boulder open the tilted tabletop known as freedom by Saturday the 22nd? Is the new fry oil ready to go? Are there any detours RideDE might need to know about?

i skied stowe and sugarbush last year. Castlerock is really what i remember about that trip as being tops. Conditions were better at Sugarbush, not awesome at Stowe, but i am sure castlerock can be icy east coast death at times too.

Winner, winner, fried food dinner.

they own the land at jfbb. that happened 2-3 yrs ago. I believe wildcat is forestry land, so no hopes of expansion there, but they did do quite an upgrade to the snowmaking system. Another really well thought out post by you. Do you really think any of the items you listed there will have a good return on their investment? There are so many more things they could do to increase revenue before just throwing money at the place. i kinda think that whole park thing is on a downhill slide somewhat, but thats just my opinion. It would be interesting to see volume from like 2008-2011 vs. last year.

We get it. you like Snowbird.

here is the 2014-2015 Accujoke weather map.

there are some decent trees at Okemo. enough that when you mix in it with the groomers it will keep you occupied. When i was there last year, i think they hadnt had snow for a while and got like some rain or sleet, which made for a crusty top. the less traveled trees where pretty tough to navigate. off the southface i would revisit loose spruce, and check out forest bump. Everglade, tree dancer and the shadows will have more traffic through them and the first two are nice, but like the entire mountain, fairly mellow. looking at the trail map i dont remember even checking out supernova at jackson gore. like everyone has stated previously, family, groomers, waffles, no gss......

Discuss. Skied solitude 2 years ago, although the lifts are set up pretty weird, it was an awesome time. One of my Utah favs for sure. I think 9 other people were there that day. I for one hope it doesn't change to much.

Thats a good deal. Thanks for posting root. Fyi, last year sugarbush would give u a $50 ticket for showing a season pass to another mountain.

you need Phillycores rug. nice skis and a lovely story to go with it.

Thats some good pre season stoke. Bummer about the later weekend start this year but still a great dealio.

ok...i'll bite. where else would the valves be?

lol...i thought you didnt care about cost. Cadillac had/has some type of wagon that has a ridiculously big engine in it as well. not sue if its a 4 wheel drive dealio or not, but it will run with or better than whatever corvette TTC6 strapped his snowboard to. Very true. thats why i liked my 4runner so much. ran like a top, but honestly, i dont think there was one straight panel on the thing, it was a few different shades of white, the sunroof was stupid and broken, but the 4wheel drive worked.....well.

I was so excited when Ski mag got here, and how thick it was. i figured it was just packed with tons of useful info. At least i know where to eat if i go to Deer Valley.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Just cause it will get you there fast.

4runner. hands down best vehicle i ever owned. Sold it with 160k on the odo..i still see it running around. The 2 Exploders we had here at work never made it past 100k, before they were junk. Shit just fell off of them randomly, bizarro electrical issues.

Why is sheetz, Karaoke, nachos, and parking lot pimping mentioned on every other thread?

is that this years package? Last year it was like middle of Feb for weekends. i hope they otherwise determine.

I suffer with the same disorder. Its horrible.
