    The Big Break

    I am so sorry, Martha! I hadn't heard this from any of the regulars. I plan to be back next year and was already the slow skier who talks to herself about being braver! I'm sure you'll be back skiing past me again!!

    Dealing with vertigo?

    I had it happen at Killington a zillion years ago. I was out in the middle of a run in dumping snow and totally lost the sense of what was up and down and felt dizzy. Everything was white, the snow and the air. Terrifying and I stopped and was practically hyperventilating. Once I got settled a...

    What Happened to the Renoun Earhart 88?

    I'm out of touch since I'm not skiing this season (maybe March ....). I wondered why my inbox was flooded with Renoun emails! And my FB feed. Didn't know they'd been sold.

    Anybody else with 70+ Ski Club?

    Please post your experiences. I would usually be at Okemo at this time of year. But health issues have me out of skiing. I didn't know until I got the info packet this week (not 70 until July) that they worked out of RI, my little state!

    Palisades Tahoe Announces Reservation-in-Advance and Paid Parking for Next Season

    Not surprised, although I'm not loving the change. Cheap pass, then nickel and dime the add ons.

    Median age of skiers and boarders is going up.

    @snoWYmonkey re: the ski seven hours musing you had: I guarantee I never skied wire to wire! These days, except for a couple of days in Utah with a friend who wasn't available mornings, I tend to go 3 - 4.5 hours. Sometimes more if the conditions are amazing or friends are up from home. On the...

    First New Ski Resort to open in NA since 1980 Could Ban Snowboarders

    First New Ski Resort to open in NA since 1980 Could Ban Snowboarders

    I got a distant look at Mayflower when I was at Deer Valley a month ago. It looks pretty big. I’m an older skier, and like the feeling that the people around me have similar blind spots! My blind spot versus the average snowboarders’ blind spot are different. I never had the feeling boarders...

    Anyone notice any new ski trends this season?

    Me too! This realization is not helping me purge my closets! Although if it’s a 20 year cycle from now I would be getting close to 90! And I’m not sure 90 year olds should be in hip hugger jeans anyway! :laughter::wink:

    How many days have you skied so far?

    I finished with 43 days. A lot less than usual for me. But Covid in December and an injury in January really cut into my time on the snow! I was really lucky to finish with four days at Deer Valley in Utah! I’ve been working on my boat ever since I got back!

    Stockli Nela 88 in NZ !!!

    The price of Stockli’s is pretty much yikes regardless of your economy! Some of them are spectacular skis.

    Gwyneth Paltrow and Deer Valley: a new lawsuit

    And I love the place! I’m going out next week. It is less La Di da since it became open to more with the Ikon Pass. Before it was pretty exclusive but also a lot less crowded. I skied there in 2008 when a friend had a $50 ticket for me! And I’ve been back three times since.
