Thanks, I will! In T minus 9 hours ... ooooh, I'd better get some sleep. It feels like Christmas Eve.

Here is my home hills.......you can type their names and it will pull them.
Ski Sugar Mountain NC
Ski Beech Mountain NC
And here is my mighty little teaching mountain......Ski Liberty Mountain PA. She is small but her technology is unsurpassed. We have the most advanced snowmaking in the country (75% computerized and more fan guns per foot of elevation than any other resorts). We may be in icy PA, but our slopes are silky. So many fans we sometimes don't groom, we just "Blow and Go" lol If you see those yellow fan guns at your base, you better bet your snowmakers got the scoup from Liberty, we got the placed lined with them from top to bottom.0 -
Has anyone been to Hunter Mountain in NY? It's only 2 hours from me so going there would make day trips much easier. I usually go to Mount Snow in VT, but that's 4-5 hours away.0

Does Ski Liberty have, like, a massive instructor staff or something? o.O I know 2 people here in UT who have taught there in the past, both of whom were once based on the East Coast (Maryland and D.C., respectively). It's like "all roads end at Ski Liberty" ...
If the weather here doesn't perk up soon, you may have to bring that awesome snowmaking over here, as sad as it makes me. PNW, MT, and Jackson are getting DUMPED ON, and we are just missing the edge of every storm.

I'm getting excited about my ski plans. The last week of January we've decided on Jewel Basin for 4 days.
http://www.summitpost.org/mount-aeneas-winter-route/601851
I've skied here several times, but never camped up there. My friend Eric I'll be traveling with loves to winter camp. Day one will be devoted to getting to and setting up camp, followed by 2 days of skiing, and the last day heading home. We will be using a snow mobile to get to the trailhead.
Another neat thing is that I get a new ski rig next week! I got Black Diamond Carbon Justice 185cm skis with Dynafit Radical ST bindings, and Black Diamond Quadrant boots. The skis are big mountain skis 115 under foot. I skied them in Colorado and instantly knew I had to have them.0 -
I live in the Midwest, so my options are limited unless I want to do some serious traveling. I bounce between Mad River Mountain [http://www.skimadriver.com/] in Ohio and Perfect North Slopes [http://www.perfectnorth.com/index.php] in Indiana but may be planning a trip in early March to Caberfae Peaks [http://caberfaepeaks.com/] in Michigan. We shall see...Otherwise, I'll just be bumming around the good ole hills of my home town parks...Street riding at its finest.0

here's our home mountain - http://www.eldora.com/
it took 10 years of skiing in colorado to find a place to call home. we still ski all the bigger resorts too, but this is a fantastic place for a family. love it!0 -
Sorry it took so long to get back, but yes we have about 300 snowboard and ski instructors. We teach on average about 65,000 lesson a season. And yeap, we are all over the place. I am on staff at Liberty, Killington and Vail. It seems to be the Liberty way. lol We are a very tight family of instructors.
Here is to THIS season.....may we see each night fall with white, and the day greeting be blue, may your tracks be railroads, and the powder damn smooth. HAIL SKI SEASON>>>>>DUMP ON US ALL!!!

I have a few places I like to call home -
Crotched Moutain Ski Area NH) - Where I am an Adaptive Ski Instructor
Bretton Woods Ski Area (NH) - My youngest daughter's favorite mountain ... so far :-)
And I'm looking to check-out a new "home" this season - Mad River Glen (VT)
*But as the saying goes: "Home is where you hang your hat" ... so, I really have many "hat-racks" throughout New England.0 -
My home mountain is Loon Mountain (Lincoln, NH). I teach skiing for the 4-6 year old seasonal program (on snow every weekend starting next Saturday!). Conditions so far are already better than it was for most of last year...which is good in my book.
Think snow everyone for one HECK of a kick *kitten* snow season. Hoping to get out to some other New England mountains this year
I love Sunday River. Want to get up this year...haven't been up there since I met my guy 5 years ago :C Such a tragedy since my pass is good for there!0 -
Has anyone been to Hunter Mountain in NY? It's only 2 hours from me so going there would make day trips much easier. I usually go to Mount Snow in VT, but that's 4-5 hours away.
Hunter has the best, toughest, steepest terrain on the East Coast south of Vermont and massive snowmaking capacity and coverage. I love to ski there week-days but I don't go there on weekends. Too many rude people from Long Island and Jersey flock to there an Saturday & Sunday. Sorry to stereotype but that is my experience. It's the only place where I've had to make a pole plant between someones legs to keep them from cutting in line in front of me. Their approach seems to be that making your way through the lift like is no different than being in traffic on the Long Island Expressway, ' avoid eye contact and cut off everyone else at every opportunity' is what I've found on busy weekends.
On weekdays the area retains it's rural Catskill character and is pleasure to ski.0
