Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Early Wintertime Skiing and Snowboarding For The Northeast

Early winter skiing through the Thanksgiving holidays can be a challenge. For example, I called Stratton Mountain Vermont to confirm their opening on Thanksgiving when reading their webpage offering fireworks and lifts performing in celebration on opening day. The reception desk confirmed that they would open. They spoke falsehood. It did not open and there was absolutely no fireworks.

Though Stratton did open the next date, conditions and runs offered were limited. Only skilled and intermediate trails were accessible. Next door Bromley ski resort was not slated to open till the first week in December.

Killington ski resort situated in north Vermon boasts world class ski and snowboarding terrain and will be the largest resort in eastern North America. It regularly ranks as the #1 resort inside the Northeast for both groomed trails and terrain parks for skiing and snowboarding. It has 750 acres with 2 gondolas and 7 express chairs to accommodate the over 71 miles of diverse terrain and trails at the 13 skiing and snowboarding places. They boast of 1,400 snow guns that cover 71% with the total acreage. The summit is 4,214 feet high with a base elevation of 1,615 feet.

Killington had a limited trails open for for the Thanksgiving weekend. The green trails on the Great Northern were open and wonderful. However, the problems with most of the interconnecting trails where that they were half way iced over probably caused by problems with artificial snow making equipment. The conditions were terrible for anyone bringing a beginner to experience skiing and long lift lines for access to Killington Peak via K-1 Express Gondola, the highest lift in Vermont.

Interestingly, Vermont has a 9% sales tax on lodging, restaurant meals, and 10% on alcoholic beverages and if that is not enough, certain municipalities may impose a local option tax on rooms and meals. These sales taxes must severely hurt business located on the borders of the state and further discourage those on a tight budget from visiting.

For instance, Brattleboro VT in Windham County, is the largest town close to the Stratton Mountains ski area and the likeliest place to find nearby lodging. Brattleboro imposes a 1% sales tax above the statewide sales tax. Interestingly, nearby New Hampshire has no sales tax or even a state income tax on individual’s W-2 wages. Even New York state is more friendly with a 4% state sales tax. While you can buy snowboard and ski gear without the tax, eating out is another story

The ski areas in New York state are more convenient to the heavyier population areas of Eastern U.S. and generally do not open until later in the winter season with the possible exception of Whiteface Mountain, Hunter, Belleayre, Plattekill and those who have invested in an array of snow guns. New York has over 50 ski areas. As a state, it has the most ski areas of any state in America because of the Catskill mountains which are the highest peaks of the Adirondack mountain chain.

Accident-free Skiing and Snowboarding, Anyone?

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:04:33 +0000

Many people have different opinions about the relationship between skiing and snowboarding. Some hardcore enthusiasts in these sports maintain that these two are distinct and different from each other. Nonetheless, skiing and snowboarding share the same platforms and manner of execution, namely snowy slopes and downward acceleration. This results to almost the same approach in the preparation and equipment perspectives of the two.

Whether you are a first timer or a veteran at skiing and snowboarding, you must learn how to prepare physically and mentally before subjecting yourself to the unforgettable adrenaline rush that these two sports offer. And that includes protecting yourself against possible injuries that can happen while you are speeding down the slope.

Besides training hard to improve performance level and overall skills, you must completely comply with the safety requirements to become a confident participant in these two sports. As over one hundred thousand people are unnecessarily injured in skiing and skateboarding every year, a serious effort to prepare against injury in these two sports is imperative.

In skiing and snowboarding, the key to an accident-free slide is in the preparation. Before you even take the wild ride down a snowy mountain cap, be sure to do all necessary preparations. The following tips could spell the difference between an enjoyable skiing or snowboarding vacation and a visit to the hospital.

Take skiing and snowboarding lessons. There is no such thing as a born skier or snowboarder. You need guidance from experts who have been into these sports for years so that you will improve your performance and safety in skiing and snowboarding.

With regard to your skiing or snowboarding outfit, wear clothing that is dependable against water and wind. Make sure that your apparel has enough protective features like wide collars that can be enfolded to cover your face against wind and zippers and strings that enable you to adjust your outfit easily and comfortably.

Acquire the proper equipment for skiing and for snowboarding. If you own the equipment, like skis and snowboards, have them custom-fitted to your preferences. If you are renting them, be sure to choose the ones that you will most likely be comfortable in. Having the right equipment will drastically improve your performance and lessen the chances of accidents.

Also, the temperature in the snowy caps rapidly changes. Sometimes the coldness in the slopes can be unbearable and you may find yourself losing much needed heat which could lead to other complication like loss of consciousness and tiredness. To prevent this wear head covering like helmet or headbands and gloves.

The snowy slopes in which you slide down your skis and snowboards have very low temperatures. Dress up in layers of clothing to keep the chill out. But also make sure that the fabric you are wearing on the inside is comfortable on your skin and absorbent of the sweat that is sure to come out of you because of the excitement skiing or snowboarding offers.

Do not forget to wear eye protection devices like goggles and sunglasses. Without eye protection, you are most likely to close your eyes due to cold winds as you speed down on your ski or snowboard. Sliding in closed eyes, you will certainly bump on anything and could even wake up in the infirmary the next day.

Get enough sleep the night before the big day. You need to be alert and sportive on the skiing or snowboarding slopes. A tired mind and body can cause accidents and injuries.
