I woke up to 1'' of the sickest pow NH has seen in weeks today!

This is my home mountain, ten minutes down the road. Not exciting, but it's close


This is where the goods are. A couple of hours north. They get more snow than Colorado and the terrain is the most challenging lift access you'll find in these parts

Nope. Used to ten years ago. It's a small town but has lots of expensive homes. Permanent residents hover around 10000 bursting to 20000+ during the winter. I live about 5 minutes from town in a basement suite. My landlord is a cityit that doesn't come up too often. It's a decent spot..

Lots of older homes here too and ugly rentals..

That's why I got out of the service industry.. Sorta. I still deal with them sometimes, but it's different. Ya cityit. You got it. Love that term. ;)

I always called them gapers or tourons, but folks in NH call 'em joeys.

Cidiots is how I always spelt it but like your spelling better. Ekat imagine two mammoths right next to each other without anyone from LA. That's Whistler.

Mammoth has 3500 skiable acres, W/B is a little over 8100 skiable acres. It's the largest in North America by far, Vail is second with 5,289. The village is as good as the mountains. Ekat buy your plane ticket now;-)

Let me tell you, if I end up driving over there for some turns, I'll look you up, for sure. . . as long as you cut an old dad, groomer cruiser some slack!

You bet! You better forget about the groomers if we have freshies tho!!!!
