    Snowshoe question...

    thanks! i know snowshoe can tend to "create" it's own weather at times... i've been there under a few "red alert" storms that shut the whole mountain down which seems to come out of nowhere sometimes! i would just rather wait until later in the season if a good number of trails aren't ready...

    Snowshoe question...

    any locals or people who know people that work at snowshoe have any intel on what trails they plan to have open this weekend? i don't mind riding in the mud, but i don't want to make the long drive out there if a good number of trails are going to be closed and would rather postpone the trip...

    Concussion recovery experiences...

    i think robert716 brings up an interesting take on helmet technology. the NFL has some specially designed helmets to reduce the risk of concussion... it would be interesting to see what makes those designs better. everything that i have been able to find mentions air padding and "softening"...

    S.Ont riders - NE US DH resorts

    Having ridden all the resorts you mentioned except Mt. Snow, I highly recommend Highland. We make the ~10 hour drive up from the DC area 1-2 times a season to ride and that is with Diablo & Snowshoe within 4.5 hours of us. Highland is perfect if you are into DH & DJing and has an amazing...

    Concussion recovery experiences...

    So, this past weekend I was riding some local trails and took a spill that resulted in me smacking the back of my head into a tree (while wearing a full-face helmet). From recollections of a buddy of mine following me, I suddenly spun around like a wide receiver getting tackled in mid-air and...

    Any idea if the mountain wil be open tomorrow with the forecast of 1-2 inches overnight? We are planning to leave the DC area around 6ish to arrive in the middle of the night to set up camp and ride for 3 days before heading back. I'd hate to get there and not have the resort open due to...

    upper hellyawn

    anyone have any intel on what trails, dirt jump lines, etc... will be open this coming weekend (nov 5th - 7th)? we are coming from the DC area and it's a long trip and we might divert a day of riding to hit up something along the way if some of our favorite trails/lines aren't open.
