Headed up to Maine Thursday. The warmer temps forecast may keep the snowguns at bay...It'll be a welcome change from yesterday at Killington where gortex and goggle scrapers were mandatory..The good news, lots of snow. The bad, lots of newbies mixed in with the hotshots..don't they read the signs?! Intermediate and advanced terrain only!

Amped the season is starting already, first day of snow here was monday! I'll be at Killington saturday for the kickoff!

-the cheap wanker sits idle, waiting for Loon, Cranmore, or Waterville to open. It's a race to the starting line.-

This is why I waxed the boards in August.
It's great to see the season starting this early out here. Let's hope it keeps up, get a few more open by mid-November!

On that note, is anyone interested in plotting a meetup at the Ski/Snow Expo in Boston, when it opens?

Just for the record, it's pronounced "New Englandahs"

Any New Englanders from the Burlington area? I'll be going to school up there next winter and would love to get an idea if there's a good carving scene up there.

[CarvCanada]

there are at least awesome carving mountains! Okemo... Stratton, Sugarbush, Stowe, and ... Killington on a weekday, or Jay Peak for some powder glade boarding

[willywhit]
