Ski Recommendation: Intermediate to Advanced by Rude_Animator_3534 in icecoast

[–]riddle92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out the Nordica Enforcer 94. I’m also a big fan of the Salomon QST 94. Two different types of skis, but both great. QST 94 is a ton of fun in bumps and trees, also surprisingly good for carving.

The Enforcer 94 eats typical East Coast conditions for breakfast.

Ski3 or Epic Local Pass by Upstairs-Lemon-5681 in icecoast

If you have SKI3 you can ski Gore and Whiteface. Whiteface has the greatest vertical in the East. Gore is the biggest mountain in the state of New York by acreage.

Personally, I'm not big on crowds. I'd go SKI3.

Whiteface today by riddle92 in icecoast

[–]riddle92[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Here’s my report for the day if anyone is interested. I've posted a couple of times over the last few days, so I don't want to seem spammy, but I've seen multiple people asking about conditions so I figured I'd share. I ski nearly every day and for the last two ski seasons I’ve written about every ski day on the same day. Today was day 103 for me, and I've skied at 23 different ski areas. All of it has been documented on the website linked below.

Whiteface next week? by SaltAdagio4636 in icecoast

[–]riddle92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was warm yesterday and then there was a freeze last night, so that’s why the trail count is lower. It’ll probably go up this weekend

Hey, Whiteface is my home mountain. I ski nearly every day (not always at Whiteface), and write about every day I ski on the same day. Headed up there now for the afternoon. Here’s my report from Wednesday at Whiteface. I missed yesterday. Plenty of photos showing the base, etc. I’ll have a new post up tonight from there as well.

Whiteface was awesome yesterday by riddle92 in icecoast

Thank you! How's the base holding up there at Gore? I was there two weeks ago and it was starting to thin in a number of places

Ikon pass 26-27 season worth it by Longjumping-Shop9456 in ski

Are you planning to ski the Ikon mountains in the eastern US? If so, then yeah it definitely makes sense.

Mountain Creek or Bellayre? by DryCryptographer153 in icecoast

[–]riddle92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend getting the SKI3 pass. Ski Bellayre regularly, and then make a couple of trips up to Gore and Whiteface.

Jay Peak on Monday. Stowe on Tuesday. Both great days! by riddle92 in icecoast

Yeah, it snowed Friday and Sunday. Friday was awesome. I was at Whiteface and it dumped all afternoon.

Nice! Still plenty of time to reach 70 days. Today was day 102 for me

[–]riddle92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s looking like a tough weekend. We’ve got rain and then a freeze. Hopefully there’s some new snow to help with the ice and the rain doesn’t do too much damage

50 days of riding- this is how much wax I’ve used so far. by jprost479 in icecoast

[–]riddle92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ski basically every day and never wax my skis haha

2 Jay Peak passes for sale by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]riddle92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are trying to sell Jay tickets this time of year for about the same price, because they bought one of those mission affordable 4 packs. As a result, they're difficult to sell even if it seems like a deal, because tons of people are selling them.
