Pico friggin rocks. Keep it on the hush hush, though, because it’d be a shame if people started going there on the weekends.
Yep I remember back in the 80’s and 90’s they had a few lifts that are no longer there, including one that served a mid mountain glade, so you could just glade yourself all day.
I agree with the Pico people, but Stratton may be ok as well. They definitely have better grooming than Pico. Who knows what the crowds will be like up there? To me, Pico is great, but I think Stratton has a lot more beginner terrain than pico. It's kind of steep at the top of pico, with no real easy way down. But, I would guess it will be a lot less crowded. Either way, i'm sure your daughter will love it, don't even talk about lift lines, kids don't know or care. They just think its par for the course.
Taking my nephew to Beaver Creek, 4 days of skiing March 4th -7th.
Looks like you need to be there, so thanks for the offer. $976 for 4 days skiing at Vail, wow!. I told my brother back in may to buy his son the epic local, would have been 600 and change.
When I was in Utah I demo'd some Nordica enforcer 100s and I thought they were pretty sweet. Good both on groomers and fresh snow. I think they would be fine around here, although not sure id want them over my Volkl Deacon 84s for garbage like Blue and camelback....I dont think I would want anything bigger than 100 unless I was at someplace like alta..... all this extra ski to move around and they are just no going to be as good on your average icy east coast day....Not sure what the point is for around here. I thought 100s felt pretty big even at alta in a blizzard.
Been on enforcer 100s for about five years mainly East Coast. I think they’re a great all-around ski that holds the on ice and slashes crud (and pow whenever that happens).
I used to use Hotronic boot heaters and they can really roast your feet even on the coldest days.
Used Hotronics for the past 10 seasons. I'd usually rip at least one cable per year so they are a bit of a pain, but they worked well. One battery died recently so I decided to try some Lenz heated ski socks. Even more stupidly expensive than the Hotronics. Not sure if they will work as they a bit thicker than any ski sock I've ever fit in these boots. Figured they'd work for biking too on the coldest days.
I hear you, why I fully taped my cable....ugly, but after a few times skiing with it...im like..."well this is going to get destroyed in a hurry"
I use Zipfit liners so they go on racer style. Lace em up and then jam the whole thing in the shell. Inevitably I would catch the dangling battery cable and destroy it. Cost of doing business for cozy toes.
Bro that’s your clone
