Baroclinic Zone Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 AP | 03.26.15 | 5:44 AM NEWRY, Maine (AP) — Resort officials say a skier has died in an accident on an expert trail at the Sunday River ski area in Maine. Police say 35-year-old Benjamin Taylor of Bethel fell and went off the double black diamond Black Hole trail and into the trees at about 11 a.m. Wednesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said Taylor was an employee of Sunday River, but was not working at the time. A spokeswoman for the Newry resort said he was wearing a helmet and was with friends.

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I scored a nice deal for whiteface this weekend hotel and lift under one day one night under $200. The furthest north I have been is sugar bush so I'm excited to get into some real terrain. I have been swamped with snow removal all winter and basically couldn't go. Going to stay Saturday night and ride Sunday which looks absolutely perfect in the 30s and sunny in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about Whiteface, don't let the single-diamond named trails off the summit fool you, some of those should be classified as double-diamonds. Quite steep and icy as I recall it. (I haven't been there in prolly 15 years) they don't have any trails listed as double-diamonds (not sure about "the slides" though) the views from the summit are grand and the town of Lake Placid is pretty cool too. Let's hope for some big April dumps for some cheap and deep April skiing/riding! -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say as a snow boarder I hate hate ice. So I'll find some nice blue cruisers and take in the views. I like the vert idea there. Usually I ride with a bunch of guys who want to "hit the park" and love mt snow. I'm over that, actually never was into it this trip is me and the girl who doesn't leave the lodge so I'm just gonna cruise around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a rather ambitious plan. Not sure how much of it comes to fruition, if any. At a minimum, I'd like to see the hotel restored and re-opened. That place is a gem and should not be left to waste away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course all over the world. Snow boarding is a secondary passion and I no longer skate as I like my bones intact. That's a hell of allot closer to the island. This weekend is a treat for me as I never make it north of the southern Vermont. Killington and sugar bush are the biggest and furthest north I have been.

Well the snow quality at the 'bush/Killington will usually be better than Ice Face, but I heard the steeps at Whiteface are something brutal.

eyewall Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Bolton was in fantastic shape today with fresh snow! Spring was not the word of the day above 2000 feet but with temps in the upper 20's to around freezing it was comfortable to be out there! I took these at the base area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Sunday River week Leisurely ski down green trail Lollapalooza. Hand held my cell phone. Started out the week with -20 wind chils and hard and fast and ended up in softies. Pretty obvious winter is considered over by many as all 5 days it was ski on lifts all day and with the lifts cranking we skied a little under 150 miles .

Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Powder day at Whiteface today with 2-3" of new snow at the base and 6" + above 3,000'. It snowed all day long, but we where above the clouds at the summit. Sunday looks to be a bluebird day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
