I skied Prospect yesterday also. I thought the skate-skiing in the morning was about as good as it ever gets -- fast, firm, controllable -- really couldn't...

I'll be skiing the New Canaan Country Club at 2:00pm this afternoon. Meet at the club parking lot, do not go to the clubhouse. Take Merritt Parkway exit 38...
Skiing at NCCC was nice. Cold weather should keep it skiable for a day or two. Can't figure out why recent yahoo group broadcast emails are taking so long to...
