    Ski Area To Change Its Name

    Meh, agree to disagree. Folks are reading into this too much and getting themselves worked up over a name change as if it’s one more step closer towards the world crumbling. At the end of the day it’s a business, and sensitive committee or not, they felt that was best for them. Say whatever...

    Ski Area To Change Its Name

    I know it seems to fit into a cancel narrative, but as someone that stays somewhat connected to the hill, I’m here to say there was no evidence of mounting outrage from an offended group where the hill succumbed to pressure. It’s ok for a business to look in the mirror and proactively make...

    Ski Area To Change Its Name

    Yeah, but “giving power to others” most likely wasn’t the case here. I visit the area periodically and I was there over Prez weekend. I saw no evidence of local protests nor was aware of any petitions. While rising sensitivity concerns were the major factor, also did good business sense...

    Ski Area To Change Its Name

    Conversely, I am always amazed how upset people get by a legacy name change. People/places/businesses do it all the time…and good for them. I haven’t lost any sleep since i started putting Pearl Milling Company syrup on my waffles. I’ve been skiing at S6 intermittently for nearly 30 years…and...

    Ski Area To Change Its Name

    I liked the old “S6” logo in 1970s font with the snowflake. Not sure why they changed that too. It was already abbreviated to “S6” and still works with the new name.

    Have you ever had your gear stolen?

    There is a lot of theft out there, not limited to Jersey. My buddy had his snowboard stolen at Hunter when he went for apre-ski. Last year, I remember internet sleuths helped track down a snowboard theft at Snowbird thanks to security footage. Personally, I always try lock my stuff at base...

    The Importance (and Fun!) of a Quiver

    I am guessing 35 days being considered limited is relative to this board. That's like the most your average joe 9-5er can ski without taking significant vacation time. I have 88s and 106s. I bought the 106s on sale for a trip out west a couple of years ago (figured Id breakeven over a few trips...

    What is your resort’s brand?

    I'd put Killington tops in Ski Hard Party Hard. Unfortunately the latter was weighted with almost equal priority during my 20s and I never really went other destinations in the East for this reason; aside from a catskills day trip. There were always so many people out at the Pickle Barrel &...

    NYSB Boot Fitter Directory Page Thread

    For NJ (and anybody in NYC with a car), Greg Pier at the Ski Barn in Wayne is top notch. I have a lot feet issues from running and he really came through. Super knowledgeable and patient over a couple of visits. http://njsra.org/post/greg-pier-joins-the-ski-barn---wayne-nj-staff/

    Ski Travel 2020/2021 Season

    Personally I'm not too concerned about travel risk (planes or hotels); however my upcoming season will be limited to local trips due to my kids hybrid school situation. In a normal season, I usually take a few vacation weekdays to go north or out west since the kids are busy with...

    How Many Ski Areas Have You Skied?
