I love Prospect Mountain Ski Resort . The lodge is cozy, the food is delicious and well priced, and the people are kind, happy, and polite. So, when the weather reports showed a large snow event the first week of April I was amped :shock: to squeeze in one more trip. It was to be a decidedly more ch...

What an awesome looking adventure! Now I’m inspired…

@mca80 Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the skis other than the fact that they’re phenomenal works of art. I’d love to get a set but $2,200 is a steep price

You might check out Granite Backcountry Alliance I skied the Maple Villa Glade last season when the backcountry around Mt. Washington was too sketchy. There are a lot of options around there for glades too besides Maple Villa...

When I went to remove the screws they were WAY too easy to remove. I had torqued them to ~3nm when I installed them but they cam...

I nerd-ed out a bit on the glue perhaps a bit too much after reading your posts and now I am thinking it is probably better to be safe than sorry and just use epoxy... I used Titebond II (2) , which has an ANSI/HPVA Type II water-resistance. After re...

Since the winter is predicted to be warmer, I need a distraction until the snowfall arrives in a few months.

Those are some tasty looking mushrooms! Mushroom foraging is one of my favorite shoulder season activities

That was a great video! The snow monsters there are amazing. Both times I went we didn't have blue skies though, we were skiing in the clouds.
