One advantage to starting late in life, and being a marginal, old, tele-skier, is that I can have blast at a place like that.

Some of those small hills are in the lake effect zone too, so there is, potentially, a 'chance of snow.'

harv, you’re gonna have to come up to the laurentians next year - you’re never going to want to leave!

There must be independent places in New Hampshire, Vermont and New York that are similar, right? Older lifts, less effective snowmaking, smaller footprints and priced accordingly?

NH has Tenney back open, but geez what a horrible season to try an get back on their feet. They've been closed for several yrs until now. It's a great little hill. Cannon is State owned, so just under a $100. Whaleback is cheap if you live up that way. That place is a nice indy success story so far. Black mtn NH is just under a $100 too. Many other ski hills from my youth are gone. Cannon is the best value without a doubt, but it also depends where you live.

I got my passport updated in the last two weeks. You'll be there?

Ah, yeah that's right. They opened last year but late if I remember correctly. Previous yrs they were closed, but prepping to open. Some of the trails were reforesting and becoming thwacky as hell...unskiable. They also were grooming a skin track for the earn ur turn crowd which was super cool. I had a pass there way back with my kids when they were little. Fun low key hill.

Cannon closed today to preserve snowpack [emoji24]
Probably still stay open through April but it will be spicy.
What do you all predict last day at K?

[Laps]

MRG too…not a huge surprise there. Doubt they will make it to April!

Did you hear about the constipated accountant?

He couldn't budget so he had to work it out with a pencil.

^^ joke of the day.

effectively distracted me from posting about possible big snow but with possible wind holds monday. whew!

[Vt-Freeheel]

37º and currently socked in bob. Rain stopped a while ago but not until an impressive 2 3/16" of liquid snow suck had fallen. Mad crested at flood stage and is now dropping, thankfully. Worst Winter Ever

[buckethead]

^^ yikes. last night was looking to be cold earlier in the week.

glad the waters are subsiding!

and *hopefully* this one is indeed the worst ever!

fun fact: 3 weeks ago i ended my jiminy night sesh after just 2 runs due to a crunchy-hard track and brutally cold headwinds.

what i'd pay for some of that now.
i've skied all of ONE days since.

[ex-powderbroker]

gonna be close depending on temps (and i can’t get there) but it’s saying 50+ cm in charlevoix.

someone cooler than me should get some.

If you’re American when you go in the bathroom…

European.

[oldnew_guy]

East coasters - looks like I'll be living in south central CT next ski season. What are reasonable options for skiing with young kids who don't need any more terrain than a blue? What else does a west coaster need to know about living, skiing and recreating on the East Coast? What should I make sure I and the kids experience for our 1 year stint on the eastern shores?

[ex-powderbroker]

Will you only be skiing with kids (locally?) or are you looking to sample the goods farther afield?

Make sure to wash your car a lot for luck. We need it.

Skiing K tomorrow am. PM if you are interested. I'll be in blue helmet, blue/yellow saga jacket, and either orange or gray pants. Ask for change.

Do you have two pairs of ski pants or do you have the option of turning one pair inside out? This seems like important information for us to have.
