antman12 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Posted October 2, 2023 I try not to think about the new season until Buckmans opens every October 1st, or this year the 2nd. Happy 23/24 season everyone! 2 1 Quote
Johnny Law Posted October 3, 2023 Report Posted October 3, 2023 I heard Windham has a members only club now.... my first question is does it come with one of those jackets from the 80's but second presuming it's some kind of loot who wants to spend loot to be a member at Windham ? That's like being a member at Arby's though on second thought that would be funny. 1 Quote

enjoralas Posted October 4, 2023 Report Posted October 4, 2023 I mean, they might as well give it a shot. Remember that Camelback tried something similar a couple years ago with their $3k Pocono Premier memberships. 1 Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 18, 2023 Report Posted October 18, 2023 Still a little too early to tell, but it looks like the weather pattern changes for the better around the end of the month. We should start seeing New England resorts open the first week of November. If the forecast holds, Killington has a very small outside chance of hitting an October 31 opening. I’m sure they’d love that for their PR. Quote

Barb Posted October 18, 2023 Report Posted October 18, 2023 Has anyone ever heard of Hok skis? I just had breakfast with some of the local women of Marble and this seems to be the preferred winter activity. They are a fat, short ski with a built in skin. You also ski downhill with the skin. These ladies get together and do this several days per week. I asked if I could just use my touring skis with skins snd rip them as usual for the downhill. I was met with some strange looks. Lol. It looks like you don’t really do a ski “tour” per se, more like some hilly XC tracks. https://us-store.altaiskis.com/product/hok-skis-with-universal-pivot-bindings-copy/ 2 Quote

mbike-ski Posted October 18, 2023 Report Posted October 18, 2023 never tried 'em, my understanding is it's kind of a cross between slowshoeing and xcd, although there are some cool videos out there. 1 Quote

Expand Looks like this will be the first year I haven’t patrolled in 12 years. At the very least I’m taking a 1 year hiatus. There’s just too much going on for me to give 22 days for work in VT and still free ski. I can afford the pass, so I’m buying one. I’ll miss the camaraderie, but there’s always next year. 3 Quote

Expand I guess I could say “free ride”, but free ski is generally an interchangeable term. I did try again a couple years ago. I’d love to do it, but it’s a lot of work changing disciplines at this point… Quote
