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(s) of the Week: Sandy Ushers in Winter
After wandering by a TV today for the first time in weeks (months?), it was nice to see someone smiling about the fact that several feet of snow was expected to fall over the central Appalachians Monday and Tuesday. In light of Sandy’s devastating impacts on many areas in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast, one positive [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Photo of the Week: Freshies with Family
Every winter, my sister, Lindsay, and her husband, Sean, kick off nearly three months of “down-time” (from their gardening/ landscaping business on the MA coast), by skiing with us here in Vermont. Sean’s a ripping surfer with whom we’ve enjoyed some incredible swells over the years, and he’s skilled on both skis and snowboard. “Sis” [...]
Photo of the Week – Champlain Powder
The powerful storm that treated us last night to wet snow, sleet and POURING rain also produced some of the most intense mountain snowfall we’ve ever witnessed in the northeast. A still unfrozen Lake Champlain, an approaching cold front and a good orographic (upslope) flow of moisture definitely contributed to today’s prolific snowfall. At one [...]
Irene’s Rains Create New Slides in the Dacks, Whites…
Natural landslide paths (aka “slides”) are in abundance throughout New York’s highest Adirondacks. And thanks to Irene’s flooding rains (the same rains that have ravaged many parts of the northeast), the list of skiable slide paths is now longer than ever. Take a peek at the nice update that our friends at Adirondack Backcountry Skiing [...]
Weekdays: Friday’s Storm Delivers
Although the backcountry and nordic crust-cruising has been in its element recently, today’s snow was a welcome treat from our good friend Old Man Winter. A good 6-8″ of fresh snow has piled up across the north country as we write this on Friday evening, and it looks like several more should be awaiting us [...]
