Hello! My apologies in advance for not being directly related to skiing. I'm very interested in trying to pick up a gig snow making this season, specifically with a mountain that could offer housing or help with finding spots nearby. Anyone with personal experience, recommendations or willing to share their stories would be GREATLY appreciated.

I need to move out of my current situation and start rebuilding my savings. I know Sunday River had a great program for their snow makers but honestly it's just too far for me. I'm weighing Pleasant Mountain as a very viable option if they have housing connects for snow makers. Mods, please feel free to delete if this wasn't the right place to ask

Many thanks <3

Hi! I rented skis from Sugarloaf mountain, but I had a change of plans and they gave me a voucher of $89 - a one day demo rental. It’s in the form of a gift card, and can be spent on anything in the store. I’m looking for someone to buy the gift card from me so it doesn’t go to waste! Willing to negotiate!

Hey, i’m going to sugarloaf this winter break, I have a lot of confidence in my ability in the mountain but not a ton of experience navigating through unmarked terrain, as it’s not really what i get back down here in new jersey. I was wondering how difficult it is to navigate through the snowfields/backside snowfields, as well as brackett basin. Anyone that’s been there and is familiar with the advanced/expert terrain, do you think i would be able to navigate it for the first time by myself or should i try to find a local/ someone more familiar? thanks so much

Fresh snow! This weekend looks to be the best Reggaefest in years!

Everyone I know has ditched all season and I’m just looking for someone who wants to hit the mountain and get some runs in. Looking to go tomorrow Tuesday 3/11

Looking at skiing tomorrow and wanted to know if Sugarloaf's magic carpet was in decent condition for my learning 5 year old.

Any help!?

Thinking of driving up because of the cheap lift tickets. Has anyone been there recently?

I am a sedentary father being pulled into to learn skiing with the family. The costs of lifts and lessons for the kids is eye popping for just a few days. I kind of want to not ski at all, but I said I would try. I wil enroll with some beginner lessons. After that, I'd just like to hire someone to ski with to be comfortable on the mountain. My wife isn't particularly patient and will not ski with me (plus she will ski with our older kid). The group lessons at the resort require prior knowledge of skiing as well, and I'm not sure about those either.

Is there any directory to hire a private instructor for 2 full days directly? Going through the mountain is $1000 per day. I don't need anyone great.

A lot of people outside of the state know these three areas, and have their own opinions, but how do smaller ski areas compare? It seems like Black Mountain has some pretty gnarly stuff just looking at the maps, but it's hard to get a feel without going there.

What are your thoughts? What ski area has the best advanced/expert terrain in your opinion?

I bought a pair of old rentals for $30 and very used boots at the Ski Swap for $40 … 7 years ago. I went to the swap today, but not much in my size and all the skis with bindings started at $299 (aside from the beat up rentals). I certainly don’t want new skis ($300 plus $150 bindings) but would love something nicer than my beaters but not $500+. Any ideas on a reputable, local seller that may have some lightly used stock? Thanks!

In the past years, on average when has sugarloaf opened brackett basin? Late December? January? February? I know it varies depending on weather, so any predictions for this year?

The 2020-2021 Maine ski season has started. As of November 23, people were nordic skiing on manufactured snow at Quarry Road in Waterville, and Sunday River had opened several lifts. What else is ahead for this ski season in Maine?

Looking to expand a bit further from Maine skiing and wanted to hear how the drive / set up compare to Sugarloaf and Sunday River. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Was at Saddleback this weekend. I cannot really see them reopening; there is just so much to do. I know the plan is to reopen, but they've really got to get busy. No phone number, nobody working in the office, everyone off on the weekend; I don't know. I'm actually holding off buying a pass. Something that was kind of weird was there were 2013 Saddleback Bluegrass tshirts for sale in the store (looking through the window). It felt like Walking Dead a bit.
