Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

Some more pics from last season in Norway. All of this series are from Skarvheimen mountain range, north of Hardangervidda and south of Jotunheimen. The forecast gave a 5-day window of high pressure, but they were pretty certain that it would break down after the 5 days. The traverse would normally...

Re: Canadian Ski Marathon - 2024 edition

Me again with my beloved Canadian Ski Marathon. The 2024 edition will bring significant changes as the whole event will not be as spread as before. @spopepro we should not have to take our skis for a walk this year as we did last year for different reasons sometimes out of the control of the organi...

Re: I Took a Trip to Vermont

My family had a house in Warren Vt. I learned to ski at Sugarbush, Glenn Ellen (which is Sugarbush north or some shit today) and Mad River Glen. Glen Ellen was great, never crowded 2600 ft vertical drop, decent lifts, low-key- went bankrupt. Anyone know if the Blue Tooth is still open? On the Sugarb...
