Photo of the Week: March Madness and Why Ski Patrollers Rock
With up to foot of mountain snows accumulating in the first week of March, followed by a good dose of spring last weekend/early this week, and then another 6-16″ falling across the mountains over the past few days, the month of March is upholding its reputation as one of the snowiest months of the season [...]
Photo(s) of the Week: 20 Days of Snow
According to our ski log, snow has now fallen from the heavens every day or night for twenty straight days over AdventureSkier headquarters in Vermont. We cannot remember the last time this has happened, and it is truly reassuring to know that winter is not broken. No doubt, we are in the midst of one [...]
Photo of the Week: Christmas Week Storm
The Christmas Week Storm has delivered one of the greatest gifts imaginable this week, and snow-lovers across the Northeast are making the most of it in so many ways – by building snow forts, by enjoying turns with family and friends, or by sliding into the White Room wherever the terrain is steep and the [...]
Photo (Image) of the Week: SNOW LIKELY
While it’s still officially fall for a nearly another week, a wintry forecast here for the mountains of the Northeast (like the one depicted here, for north-central VT) is a sight for sore skiers’ eyes. And while this is still just a forecast (Courtesy: NWS), it is one of many that have been trending toward [...]
Photo of the Week: Deep Thoughts
It’s late August. Summer has crested. Pre-dawn temps might dip below forty degrees in some colder mountain zones this weekend. It’s dumping in the Andes. And the first issues of Backcountry and Powder magazines have already hit news stands. Ahhhh… It won’t be long now. Meanwhile, the hype about the winter season ahead has become [...]
Photo of the Week: Another 2011-12 Season Flashback
We’re having regular flashbacks to the 2011-12 season here at AdventureSkier headquarters, with this image stirring especially vibrant memories of the season’s biggest dump, which put down up to a few feet of super fluff across the higher elevations of the north country just a couple of days earlier. Those were good days, and good [...]
Photo of the Week: Cold, Refreshing Winter Dreams
I’ve happily dreamed twice this week of some truly beautiful powder skiing right here in the Northeast. One dream involved a crew of us skiing impossibly deep, stable and untracked powder snow down Tuckerman’s Ravine most classic lines. Dreamy, really dreamy, no doubt. Before long, another storm moved in and it was time to wake [...]
2 Wheels, 2 Planks: Mid-Winter in the Rhaetian Alps
If we didn’t take the snowflakes flying among the budding birches and blooming daffodils upon our arrival to Zurich back on April 7, we should have. For all but one of the last 18 days, beautiful fresh snow has been falling from the skies above us in the Swiss-Austrian-Italian Alps. And this past Sunday may [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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: Mad Pow Disease
Last week’s storm infected countless skiers across the Northeast with an unusual strain of Mad Pow Disease. Skier Justin Woods Chapman was especially hard hit by its symptoms. With more fresh snow across the northeast today and this weekend, Justin’s going to be hard pressed to make a full recovery…but we’re confident he’ll pull through. [...]
