Smugglers's Notch - The east coasts only triple black diamond.
At this point in the tour, I am really going to be stepping into the extreme mountains. Smuggs is stop number 18 on the tour, and also my 50th day on snow this season. I could not have picked a better mountain to have my 50th...
Burke Mountain - A pleasant surprise.
Burke Mountain is a mountain I knew almost nothing about other than what little is on their website. I've never heard anyone talk about it, never seen an edit come out of their parks or seen a commercial or ad for it. There are few mountains I felt as...

Mt. Washington from Cranmore
Mt. Washington from Attitash
With the season pressing on, and a lack of snow keeping me from exploring the real large mountains, I figured it would be a good...
Ever wonder what is was like to be on Hoth, from Star Wars? Well I think I know after skiing Okemo Mountain this week.
Okemo's Summit
A wonderful little winding trail at Okemo
When I left my house at 6:30 am, it was a balmy 5 degrees (F) out, by the time I arrived at Okemo, two hours...
I don't really know where I was planning on going last weekend, but as soon as Mousseau annonced that the NS crew was going to be at Loon all weekend, I cancelled my instructors shift Saturday, and headed north bright and early. Even though I had already visited Loon earlier this season, I...
