Photo of the Week: March Madness
Did we all lose track of the calendar somehow? Or did that last solar storm turn up the Northeast’s thermostat? Considering that the weather and skiing is more typical of late April out there, it’s hard to believe it’s only mid-March. Still, until Old Man Winter returns with his usual late-winter antics, we’ll just have [...]
Ski It While You Can!
With the weather over the next week forecasted to be more like mid-May than mid-March, it’s time to put everything else aside for a little while and ski it while you can – before most of our precious snowpack here in the Northeast (at low to mid elevations, at least) is gone. Whether you feel [...]
Photo of the Week: Last Gasps of Winter?
Although the forecasts are calling for unusually warm temps through at least the next seven days (with the exception of Wednesday pm – with snow possible in the mountains!), we’re confident that Old Man Winter will grace us with his presence again this season before spring takes over for good. In the meanwhile, it’s worth [...]
Adirondack High
As we shared a couple of weeks back (link), the late-winter snow pack in the Adirondacks has been luring us to explore some of the many new landslide paths created by Tropical Storm Irene last August. And after several recent adventures in the Dacks, it’s become clear that Irene has dramatically expanded the scope of [...]
This Weekend: Bolton to Barns, MRG Tel/Ski Fest and more…
With March’s longer and warmer days upon us, it’s a great time to get together with friends on skis and celebrate. Several events coming up this weekend will make this especially easy and fun to do, so get out there and make the most of another great winter season, before it’s time to plant the [...]
Photo of the Week: 10 Days to Remember
The last ten days collectively served as one of the many great reasons we love to call the Northeast home. It also provided a stark and beautiful contrast to the thin cover conditions defining much of this season, and it got just about everyone and their uncles out skiing for a while. With as much [...]
Vermont’s Ryan Cochran-Siegle Wins Gold at World Junior Chamionships
Vermont’s Cochran Family, which operates Cochran’s Ski Area in Richmond, VT, made history again on Friday, March 2 when Ryan Cochran-Siegle of Starksboro – the 19 year old son of 1972 Olympic gold medalist Barbara Ann Cochran – skied away with the downhill title at the world junior championships in central Italy. His skiing is [...]
As Good As It Gets…
The skiing and riding is as good as it gets right now across the Northeast, with bottomless snows in the backcountry and perfect trail skiing conditions at the resorts this week. With more fresh snow piling up Thursday into Friday, there should be nothing stopping any of us from getting out there and making the [...]
Photo(s) of the Week: Vacation Week Storm!
A string of storms that began producing snow last Wednesday produced as much as 40-50″ of snow over the course of several days in some high elevation zones along the northern Green Mountain Divide. Generally, mountain areas in the Northeast picked up 10 to 25″ of fresh snow from these systems, which has improved snow [...]
Get Out There and Ski!
While many folks across the northeast woke up to rain and sleet Thursday morning, winter continues to charge away in the mountains – in the same way it has been all season: one snowflake at a time. Skiers were treated to a very healthy serving of snow across the Dacks and northern Vermont, New Hampshire [...]
Photo of the Week: Slip Sliding Away
The Adirondacks’ notoriously rock-, ice- and landslide-riddled terrain is finally starting to fill in with a respectable base of snow (better late than never!). It’s making for some incredibly fun skiing-oriented exploration of the many landslide paths opened and extended by Tropical Storm Irene last fall – like this little one featured here. Stay tuned [...]
Sun, Warmth and Mountain Snow is Nice… But How About a Storm?!
As pleasant as the weather and skiing has been over the last handful of days (photo here was captured on Tuesday in Vermont), it’s time for a good old fashioned snow storm! While we might not pick up more than a few fresh inches tonight and early Friday, let’s hope this lil’ storm brings snow [...]
