Photo(s) of the Week: White Mountain Wanderlust
We’ve been feeling a bit of White Mountain Wanderlust lately, thanks in no small part to an incredible run of pleasant spring days that have produced corn-snow conditions on at least some aspects, daily. Over the last several days, especially, temperatures have been cool enough to allow for some re-freezing of the snow pack nightly, [...]
Photo of the Week: Perfect Flying Conditions
Snowflakes have been in the air again for 11 straight calendar days over AdventureSkier headquarters (at some during either the day or night). This is the second longest snow cycle of the season thus far, with more than 40″ of fresh snow piling up in this time in some areas of the Northeast. For how [...]
Video: Pasture Ripping in Vermont – Vol. 1
After a mid-winter thaw leaves us with a crusty snowpack close to home, pasture skiing (aka field skiing or crust cruising) reminds us how simple, beautiful and fun skiing can be. It’s also a cool way to connect with the local landscape and a great excuse to enjoy a fine sunset session after a long [...]
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(s) of the Week (Updated): Fresh Snow… First Turns!
Thanks to fresh snow falling across the highest elevations of the Northeast on Sunday night, snow sliders enjoyed some of their first turns of the season on Monday. And while Old Man Winter welcomed us back with only a few inches of snow at the highest elevations (4-6″ atop the porch railing of a cabin [...]
Photo of the Week: One Inch Rule
The last couple of weather fronts and rain storms have ushered in the beautiful fall season in classic form. It’s amazing how Mother Nature, with the flick of a her switch, can take us out of a distinctly summery weather pattern right into the cooler, crispier and breezier days of fall. At least a few [...]
Photo of the Week: It Won’t Be Long Now…
It won’t be long now before the first solid nor’easter of the season pulls enough cold air down from the north and let’s the snow fly across our northeastern mountains. Over the past decade, this scenario has consistently played out by mid to late October in the Northeast, and when we are lucky, the cold [...]
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 [...]

The Mountains Claim a Friend: Joel Levenberg,
Photo: Heading into the Never Summer Wilderness Area, Colorado – May 2002 The mountains claimed the life of a wonderful soul this past Saturday, May 21, 2011. Our longtime friend, Joel Levenberg, (third from the left w/snowboard) passed away after getting caught up in an avalanche on Colorado’s Torreys Peak. He was accompanied by two [...]
Video: Almost Mother’s Day
Last turns of the season on natural snow in Vermont’s Green Mountains… on the Marquette Backcountry Skis. The grass skiing on the lower mountain, after we ran out of snow, was in its element. Enjoy! Follow this LINK to “Like” AdventureSkier.com on Facebook. Thanks!
Photo(s) of the Week: Thanks Mom!
Most of us who love to ski can probably attribute learning to ski, our interest in the mountains or even just our desire to go have some fun… to our mothers. For this alone, we should all be doing something extra special for our moms this weekend. Throw in the beautiful fresh snow currently falling [...]
