    Groomer Skis

    Last year I demoed 5&6 star Volkls. A local shop gave me a apair of each to try out. Previously I have never skied a pair of Volkls. If I have to pay full price for skiis then the 6 stars are the only thing I would recommend. rivercoil is right on this one.

    Fight at Sunday River

    I've called in sick twice this week and will be on vacation this coming week. I'll get another nine days in this week. I think my buddies who ski the trees have the right idea. Sneak into the bush, start a small fire and cook a couple foil wrapped leftovers and maybe a beer for lunch. No...

    What's The Latest Areas Usually Go With Snowmaking?

    Loon slightly exceeded their budget. It costs them approximately $1000/hr for electricity for snowmaking. They won't need to keep making snow. The more snow you make, the more money you lose.

    freestyle trick help

    Pop on the lip, hands forward and straight air for a bunch of times until you feel like you're just riding over a knoll. Then start sucking your legs up into a tuck as you do your straight air jumps. From there you can get to your grabs, irons, mutes and start spinnning. Good luck!

    trail maps

    I love how Trail maps turns into Foosball, soroity girls, and bars. We used to play at The Barn at Loon for drinks (20 years ago). Girls, drinks, and foosball till closing time. I played "D". Now I just admire my trail map collection and go to bed by 8:30.

    Advice on Waterville and Tenney

    As long as you don't expect much, the Tenney experience won't let you down. Waterville has a good snowmaking system and took advantage of the past week and a half of cold days with little winds. Stay off the top and enjoy the cruisers.

    Cannon Mt?

    Skierman, Cannon's a blast if there's freshies. I live ten miles south of it and we got robbed on this last storm, a "dusting". Watch the weather and drop on it right after fresh snow, you'll love it.

    Making a mogul field. Anybody know how resorts do it?

    Boss Man, You have plenty of material to work with. At Loon they do the shelf method and angle the blade to pull the material in betweeen the bumps down to the next shelf to be made. (Crown of the bumps are 11' on center) I personally haven't done it, but having been a snowmaker and groomer...

    Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing

    Dan DiPiro. I'm reading the threads thinking seems like I should know this guy. Then it dawned on me. I met you at the Comp Center at the Loon EQS moguls meet and if I recall you were with Shuffleton at the Loaf. You made a sweet run through the bumps after the Loon meet was over. Both of...

    Once again Mt. Sunapee is a proven option

    Loon,Waterville,Sunday River,Sunapee,Sugarloaf, Stratton, Killington all cut moguls by cat. I would bet that there are many more areas that do the same. There are areas that let some trails go wild and bump naturally. In the "B" level of Freestyle it is suggested that the moguls be 11' on...

    Once again Mt. Sunapee is a proven option

    AWF170, There are very few areas now that let moguls form naturally. Most mogul runs are cut with a cat.

    Drove by Cannon today (2/5/06)

    Cannon has one of the smallest snowmaking systems in the area when you compare it's size(acreage) to the system capacity. Most ski areas have reached their snowmaking budgets due to the marginal temperatures and poor output when they did run.
