The Trap Dike
For a long time I’ve been wanting to ascend the Trap Dike. When Lionel’s Forecast came in off the press last Thursday, I knew the green light had been signaled; it was on; it was time to HIKE THE DIKE! …
The Turn (or: A Year of Famous Internet Skiing)

Summer Series: Weekend of July 8-11
It’s been hot. Record hot. In fact the last time it was this hot in July, was 1988. So of course being a winter obsessed I wanted to see what the winter of 1988-89 was like. Starting with the …
Mud, Bugs, and Humidity – 3 Days on the Long Trail
It’s been a while since I’ve gone on a multiday backpacking trip. It’s not that I dislike backpacking, but somehow over the last few years whenever I’ve had a few days free in the summer I find myself rock climbing …
TR: A Completely Average April
The entire FamousInternetSkiers.com crew, except for Porter, who has a boo-bo, and Lionel, who has a job, was on hand to ski an unexpected series of storms that hit Mount Washington over the last week and a half.
This one …
(Updated 4/1) Weather Blather (West Coast Ed.): Midweek System for Utah
As we speak a significant system is affecting the west and progged to deliver a significant dose of snow to the Wasatch over the next 48 hours.
Schuss-Kabob
Quick Edit – Here is Jenn‘s helmet cam footage of dropping into Pipeline.
Pipeline from Jenn Berg on Vimeo.
Like a tender Döner about to be chowed by a hungry kabob-eater, Little Cottonwood Canyon’s fields of powder we’re about to be schussed …
The high elevation backcountry snow is absolutely simmering to perfection right now.
Patti’s Powder
Just a few shots from today up on Mount Mansfield. It was too wet and stormy to fiddle around with the camera much today for fear of destroying our equipment. The official snow fall at the weather station near the …
Heaven and Not-Quite-Heaven
Today is pretty easy to describe: Fantastic! Fantastic–and much needed. After a snow drought of what seemed like weeks, Lionel called for an “Upslope event of debatable strength” to affect the ADK, Greens and NEK, and bully-for-the-FIS, Stowe finally got …
“Magic Snow” in Action
Apparently “magic snow” makes the rider magically appear in 5 places at once! Great snow out there to be found still… (rider: Christian)
TR: VTah Part IV – The Most Surprising Snow on Earth!
With Lionel talking about “magic snow” you can’t help but be surprised that it’s already time for VTah part IV.

VTah Part IV — The Most Surprising Snow on Earth!
Every winter in New England there is at least one weather event that truly tests the sanity of The East Coast Skier. Although The East Coast Skier’s mountains are quite far north in comparison to resorts in the western United …
Potential for Heavy Pocono and Catskill weekend snow (UPDATE 12/19)
Two weeks ago I wrote about a storm that “wouldn’t go away” and refused to slide off the coast. Well damnit all if we don’t have another one on our hands. Same story. Up until just a few days ago …
Weather blather for the Holidays: Cold (not coal) then what? UPDATED 12/18
Since I’ve gotten my xmas shopping done (Sorry kiddo, not every kiss begins with Kay….) I figured it was time take a look at the weather for next week as I’m sure many of you are wondering if you’ll get …
Unofficial Opening Weekend at Stowe
A little over 2 weeks ago, Lionel posted this in his blog: “Timing-wise I’ve basically plotted turkey day as a pattern shift day and these models agree that sometime soon we’ll see a shift to a colder pattern.” He then …
Weather Page Redesigned (again)
In the absence of snow, I just wanted to formally announce that we’ve redesigned the weather page (yet again). The most striking change is the easier-to-access positioning of Lionel and Scott’s blogs. Hopefully this removes any confusion. At the same …
Weekend Outlook
As many of you know by now, there is snow in them-thar-hills. On Monday night/Tuesday morning a potent winter-like system moved through the north country (as forecast by our weather team), and layed down a substantially beautiful layer of white …
