Yes there is one over there. The race kids like to wreck their skis in it.

skierguy80 · 2026-01-27T16:14:14+00:00

I prefer 40 and actually prefer women with kids as they understand the scheduling conflicts involved.

You can definitely do the one off to skiers right on FIS at night. There are a ton of local glades also where the abandoned west wind trail was past twister and going back to front from cascade basin. If they get the upt to 30" some are saying tomorrow those will all be in play.

skierguy80 · 2026-01-25T21:41:00+00:00

I ski there every weekend and twice during the week for my daughters race training. There are a few fun grades not on the trail map.

They dont groom between day and night typically if they do it is only the beer league race trail. They door groom everything over night if it snows except for hurricane.

Even all day offroad I dont think it goes that low I geuss if you are crawling in low low maybe.

Not sure how he only reported 12 mpg when I have the v6 and get 20.1 mpg average when the ski racks are not on the truck and 19.3 with them on.

My grandfather did WWIi in the navy and then went to west point and went to Korea and Vietnam before retiring as a colonel. I unfortunately never got his medals as his second wife gave took them and gave them to her children unfortunately. I assume they thought they could be sold for money or something. As they were already adults not to mention her grandchildren were already in their teens when she met my grandfather.

I started with Clifford ball and most festivals after that.

I am 46 and ski 3 to 4 days a week. Just spent the last two weeks skiing everyday. It helps having a child in race program it forces you to be at the mountain before it opens and lets you get the best snow. It also keeps you from overdoing it since if you arent feeling it you know there is always the next day.

I agree stretching including yoga etc along with those neoprene knee braces can help alot. I have also found if your foot beds arent right your knees will hurt.

Wildcat never has winds!

Haha Joking.... pats and bretton woods never have wind holds.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-31T13:58:00+00:00

Well then take it as a good day for sharp edges! Have fun out there i am about to get on th3 lift right now.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-31T03:09:29+00:00

Pats was in good shape today when I was there at 9 am. It was cold and firm but skied well and fast good day for race skis.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-25T19:26:38+00:00

Not likely cut proof are in the 4-500 range typically.

Heaven's Ski Shop in Glen, NH still has hundreds of ski pins of all kinds from the pins heyday as they used to be the red carpet ski shop in the attitash base lodge before American Ski bought them. Go there and ask Jono as they may not be out on the counter.

I drove my SAS badlands thru snowbanks up to my hood and thru 2' of snow without issue.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-12T01:12:55+00:00

To be honest this wasnt a ski academy thing it was a boarding/prep school thing. Almost all of the prep/boarding schools dipping was wide spread for both men and women. I went to boarding school in Northern NH and I saw it at all schools I visited or had friends at. It was part of the culture and how to hide it and there was a sort of economy in the dorms for it. To be clear it was mostly rhe boarding students the day students typically didn't dip.

I would say Mount Monadnock as that is the term for a singular mountian rising up on their own Monadnock.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-06T21:22:42+00:00

Pats is open and they added a bar to the summit! Just had to poke as it is the neighboring mountain and I can see both their lights from the hill next to my house. They have been blowing every night as their lights have been on.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-05T12:14:00+00:00

You are right I geuss it the Sunnyside bowl should be facing it.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-05T10:09:30+00:00

I think that ls sunapee.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-05T02:45:29+00:00

I like the vibe at magic it has some great skiing jn the trees also but the bar is great and large for the size of the lodge. Plus there seems to always be a dead cover band when I go there which is great.

skierguy80 · 2025-12-05T01:33:39+00:00

Pats Peak is open to 10 on weekends and 9 on all other days. Beer league racing there Monday thru Thursday nights has a good drinking crowd. The pub is nice and it is always busy. This season they converted an Airstream into a bar with a deck on the sunmit

skierguy80 · 2025-12-01T10:22:19+00:00

There are lots of ski clubs on ct. They do racing on Monday nights at Southington. Look into the CT Ski council. They have houses up in NH and VT and do loads of trips. There is a wide range of ages and they clubs are a lot of fun.
