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 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 [...]

Photo(s) of the Week: Shallow Pow, Backyard Pow!
Small doses of light and fluffy snow has continued to help cushion the post-Thaw crust still lingering about over the last couple of weeks, and in many ways, the conditions off-piste have been “shallow powder” at its finest. This has been an especially fun snow condition for exploring the untracked backyard and backcountry, for covering [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Dodging Rain Showers
The resiliency of the ski season here in the Northeast never ceases to amaze us. Last Tuesday afternoon (1/17), when temperatures climbed above freezing and a steady rainfall ensued, it was hard to imagine that we’d be skiing such beautiful snow just a few days later. Then again, this is the Northeast – home to [...]
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. [...]
The Friday the 13th Storm…Honoring MLK
The storm we’ve all been waiting for dumped 10-20″ of fresh snow across the mountains of the northeast on Thursday and Friday, January 13th.
