Photo of the Week: SNOvember Dreams
After a round of some really fun skiing through the Halloween period, some nice warm weather has all but wiped out our natural snow pack for the time being. And until Old Man Winter comes back around and settles in for a few good months, we have images like this to remind us of how [...]
Octobah Powdah…Weekend Nor’Eastah
10/31 UPDATE (Look below for a few more photos from skiing in central VT over the weekend. The historic October snowstorm produced over two feet of snow in some parts of Western MA and southern NH. Closer to home here in central VT, we picked up a bit less than that, but the skiing was [...]
Photo of the Week: Deepcember is Back!
It’s amazing how quickly the skiing and snow conditions can turn around. It’s also amazing how deep and light and fluffy the powder snow in December can be. If you have not already been getting out there to enjoy the snow, now is the time. Before long, Deepcember will give way to good ol’ December. [...]
UPDATE Feb.12: A New Secret Weapon? A Sneak Peek at the Marquette Backcountry Ski
by Brian Mohr David Olilla, who calls the playful mountains of Michgan’s Upper Peninsula home, is onto something revolutionary. He’s now producing a ski that many of us here in the northeast have been dreaming about for years. It thrives in thin-cover conditions common in the very early or very late season, and in many [...]
Skiing the Greens – Early November 2010
On Monday (11/8), while rain, sleet and freezing rain cancelled schools in the valleys, a thin layer of fresh “snow” in the mountains took the edge off the weekend’s crust at all but the highest elevations.
Photo of the Week: Snow Ghosts?
Snow goblins and ghosts – We see them often in the mountains. This one seems to be a rather friendly one… Is it Ullr- the Norse God of Snow in disguise? Could it be smiling because it was snowing again in the mountains of the northeast this weekend? Happy Halloween!
Old Man Winter Returns!
The first significant snow-producing nor’easter of the 2010-11 season dumped 10-30+″ of heavy snow over the highest mountain areas of the Northeast this weekend (VT’s Greens and NY’s Adirondacks, especially), and skiers have been out since Friday (10/15) morning embracing the return of our good friend Old Man Winter. Here are a few images from [...]
Photo of the Week: Let it Snow!
It was exactly one year ago when northeastern skiers were making their first turns of the season on our local ski hills and higher elevation pastures. Over 6″ of snow fell at the higher elevations (just enough to coat skiers’ favorite moss- and grass-coated hillsides), and when the fog and clouds cleared, it was a [...]
Photo of the Week: Dirt Road Skiing
There’s no better way to get in shape for the upcoming season of skiing adventures, than to go skiing. And if you haven’t before rocked a pair of dirt-road friendly roller skis on your favorite back roads, they are worth checking out. Known to most as a pavement-based training tool for serious and competitive nordic [...]
First Snowflakes of the Season?
Although the higher elevations of NH’s Whites and NY’s Dacks received a dusting of frozen precipitation (some would call it snow) back in mid-September (does anyone have any photos to share?), we have yet to witness the first real accumulation of snowflakes over our northeastern mountains this season. We could see the snowflakes flying this [...]
Photo(s) of the Week: Snow On Its Way
“Just think, we could be skiing thirty days from now,” were the kind words I woke up to on Sunday morning. At this time last year, we were truly just thirty days away from the first good snowfall of the season in the higher mountains of the northeast (click on thumbnail below). Thirty days. For [...]
