Tweet this!While I think that everything over 1″ is called a storm in NYC, the latest blizzard dumped enough snow to be featured on the cover of The New Yorker. Considering that New Yorkers skied on the streets of NYC, the cover illustration is pretty accurate.
Remotely controlled helicopter at Alpine Meadows
By Sergey Ulitenok on Jan 05, 2011 in Videos
Tweet this!Now this might be an interesting solution for ski resorts to showcase their terrain: a remotely controlled helicopter with mounted HD camera. The one they use is a definitely expensive model, I heard anywhere between $7K-$14K, so I don’t think you can get one at your local Radio Shack. It might be a remotely controlled turbine heli; [...]

Snowboardnator

Tweet this!I can’t say much about these ski pants – they look all right from an aesthetic perspective. Ralph Lauren says that the pants are waterproof, breathable and featuring Recco avalanche rescue system as well as many other bells and whistles.

Happy New Year!

Tweet this!This is it: the year 2011 is 10 hours away. This is the year of the Rabbit and according to the Chinese zodiac, and some shady looking web sites, it should be slow and quiet. And while an unhurried pace might suit some folks, vertexpress.com will pick up speed. Here is what we have on our [...]
Facebooked: Spot the Gorilla
By Sergey Ulitenok on Dec 31, 2010 in Lodge Notes
Tweet this!It is a cold fact: Facebook surpassed Google as the most visited website in the United States. You might not like certain things about FB – the “Like” button goes here -but you can find plenty of interesting information on Facebook’s walls.
