Nor'Easter Alert!

Put those shorts back in the closet.

Get ready to hear some serious whining from the golfers in your life, as the greens won't be regulation ready for another few weeks.  There's one big storm on the way this Friday, which has the potential to leave over a foot of snow from the Berkshires through the White Mountains, with more to follow next week!

Trip Report: Belmont (Yeah, THAT Belmont...)

Sometimes alpine touring is less alpine and more touring.  Such was the case on a recent "trip" (five minutes from my door) to Belmont, MA.

Nor'Easter Alert!

In case you've been living in a snow cave for the past few days and haven't heard, there's a powerful storm already running up the coast and dumping on the eastern seaboard.

As of this evening, eastern MA, southern NH and VT, and eastern ME are in the sweet-spot of this Nor'Easter.  They're calling for close to two feet here in Boston.  A brief survey outside my back door reveals dense, wet Sierra and not Utah Blower.  This should set that great base we've all been waiting for here in New England.

So if you're looking for a backcountry adventure tomorrow: think Monadnock, Wachusett, Cardigan or Agamenticus.

-Trip Report- Killington: Skipping Purgatory (October 2010)

I feel like I've done something wrong.  For me,  Halloween is the official end of Fall and then there's a full month of misery (also known as November) before winter.

Put simply: I skied on October 16th.  Before Halloween. Before Thanksgiving.  Before Daylight Savings.  Something's wrong.

Nor'Easter Alert!

The L's are Lining Up

The first winter storm of the 2010-2011 season appears to be on its way to the higher summits of New England, and its a Nor'Easter.
