The Ski Season is Coming!!!!

[slamdunkpro]

Snowshoe has the best snow due to its highest elevation in the region and its remoteness is good for some crowd control. Seven Springs is OK if you don’t mind 25,000 of your closest friends. I don’t even bother with Liberty or Roundtop.

Can't wait for the season to start. Winter Park is opening November 10 I think and I have my pass. I plan on doing more snowboarding this year. I am so excited!!!!!

Ugggh, why did I go to school in Los Angeles? I severely underestimated the effect having no winter would have on me.

I am going to go crazy on the slopes over Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring breaks.

except maybe out west. or the alps. or pretty much anywhere else you can go skiing.

If you don't like a challange, than I would agree with you.

I skied the woods at Big Sky and Telluride (among other big resorts out west) and it does not compare with some runs in Vermont (Sugarbush, Killington, Mad River Valley) for sheer heart-pounding thrills and dangerousness.

But in truth, the skiing overall is MUCH better in the west.

Kilington is GAY. It's always way crowded. The lift system is retarded. There is not very much in the way of a challenge save for a few good ones.

The Bush rules. Mad River is something to try out for sure. Don't forget Stowe which is one of the best VT has and throw in Jay Peak for a close to Canadian experience.

How about rocking a deep powder steepy at Alta or Squaw Valley? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Grew up skiing the icey slopes of the east. I LOVE ICEY RUNS. For some reason I have never figured out why people love powder....

Your words deeply offend me. I'm guessing a) you need fatter skiis (see my avatar) b) you need steeper powder or c) YSSCKY

Is anyone skiing alpine this year? I have a pass and should go at least 30 times. I should also be hitting most of the other tahoe area resorts.

As far as great runs go.. Christmas or the Headwall in Alyeska, AK are really hard to top. 3k vert feet of 50-35 degree powder, the first 1500 beeing all 40+ in a narrow chute, cant be described in words.

I live in tahoe, have a pass as squaw, and play poker.

Can't beat that.

a lot of the hipsters here probably don't ski anyway, they probably do that snowboard thing.

count me in for that snowboarding thing ... mountain creek racing, the best 10 seconds of your life.

I can go from office to chairlift in 27 min. Squaw is great when the Bay area Yahoos aren't there on the weekends. I'd rather board at Alpine.
