  1. I'm pretty sure that they are, probably more so at the larger resorts (Killington, Stowe etc.) If not and you're looking for a job on the snow, You can always teach for a few extra bucks and free skiing.

  2. Got the letter this AM. Adult SP $695. if purchased before Oct. 12, 2009. They also commented on the new snow making pond and pump and said they'd be able to pump out more snow. Plus another 1300 trees planted.

     

    I'm a fan of Elk and all but $700? and that's an early season discount. :blink:

  3. Sorrt are you serious..this is a gaper question times 10 that you asked....what does it matter if your top sheets are chipped???

     

    Right...next time I'll consult the manual before posting. In the mean time, it matters because I don't want the chipped off portions to get any larger.

  4. I got a pretty good deal on a set of Public Enemies on eBay. They're in very good condition (bases are fine). There are a few chips on the top sheets that are annoying me though. They're not a major deal but I know they're there and it bothers me plus I don't want them to chip any more.

     

    Anyone have any recommendations / experience for fixing top sheets (epoxy brands, etc.) and method to fix?

  5. back to the original thread topic

    I have another question, would you rather have a season pass to big boulder and go just about every other tuesday. or take like three or four road trips to vermont for the weekend all through out the seasoN? because that might be the decision i have to make. hmmm

     

     

    The weekends in Vermont option, no question.

     

    I'm not into the park scene though. Someone who is may have a different answer. If that's your thing it may be worth it to stay local and save the gas / money.

  6. Jack Frost - only Mt. in the area that allows and encourages tree skiing, some steep terrain, good snow most of the time, going fast and carving turns on Thunderbolt and Challenge, good folks to ski with, get to take a run before riding a lift, nice views.

     

    Elk Mt. - decent vert and sustained pitches on trails like Iroquois, and Mohawk, dedicated Bump Run, lots of great skiers there, great snow most of the time

     

    Sno Mt - The North Face, White Lightning.

     

    Blue Mt. - good lifts, razors, challenge and sidewinder are as fun as it gets in this part of ski country

     

    Camelback - good lift system, free tickets to other Mt pass holders, stays open late, Pharaoh and Cliffhanger

     

    Big Boulder - opens early and closes late

     

    Whiteface - my new favorite Mt. - ridiculous vertical, steeps, Lake Placid

    "Jack Frost Mountain staff under the direction of Mark Daubert have been busy clearing out more glades, adding tower guns, replacing snowmaking pipe, and "elevator" work. Here are some teasers of what has been going on this summer.

     

    Riders this coming winter will be treated to glade expansions on Challenge and Jane's Lane. The glade on skier's right of Challenge has been extended to the East Mountain Lift. Jane's Lane has new glades also on skier's right that go to D Lift. The crews have been busy installing 18 30' tower guns on various slopes including Thunderbolt and Exhibition!"

     

     

    This is all good news. The challenge glade sounds like it will be sweet although it already skied down to the lift, just had some rocks and logs to look out for. Jane's glade sounds like it'll be fun too and can't wait for the Elevator.

  8. I may have access to a pair with demo bindings on them if you'd like to scoot around on them for a little bit.

     

     

    I'll be stopping by the Nestors sale tonight around 6ish to check things out...

     

    Lets us know if you saw any good deals. I was thinking about going tonight, may stop by tomorrow if it's worth it.
