He wants $250 per night saying that his two bedroom condo is right next to ski slopes, got WiFi, cable TV, fireplace etc. You hint that it is Friday already and chances are nobody is [...]]]> http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/ski-midweek-more-fun-for-less/feed 1 http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/20-below-zero-still-great-skiing-at-mount-snow http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/20-below-zero-still-great-skiing-at-mount-snow#comments Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:08:16 +0000 Sergey Ulitenok http://vertexpress.com/?p=3256 Was it cold?

I could not find any official info on the Mount Snow’s website or Twitter (as of 11:45am.); but it appears that everything was resolved and nobody was [...]]]> http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/ski-lift-evacuation-at-mount-snow/feed 0 http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/twitter-battles-killington-vs-mount-snow http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/twitter-battles-killington-vs-mount-snow#comments Sun, 26 Dec 2010 20:05:44 +0000 Sergey Ulitenok http://vertexpress.com/?p=2597 While “The Big One” was just starting moving up North, Killington resort and Mount Snow started a friendly skirmish on Twitter: “Who is going to get the most snow after this storm?” XX]]> http://vertexpress.com/lodge-notes/twitter-battles-killington-vs-mount-snow/feed 2 http://vertexpress.com/images/before-skiing http://vertexpress.com/images/before-skiing#comments Thu, 23 Dec 2010 02:34:23 +0000 Sergey Ulitenok http://vertexpress.com/?p=2482 Somehow, I tend to find interesting, at least to me, angles and perspectives early in the morning. Of course, it helps to have an eleven month old son who prefers to wake up  around 6AM. So while he was watching his baby Einstein movies, I tried to set up my new camera and brew a cup of fresh coffee.

I took a drive around the main base, stopped by Carinthia, Suntec village and the cross-country center. Surprisingly, there were a lot of people hanging around, sharing ski stories or buying things in a local ski shop. Eventually, I [...]]]> http://vertexpress.com/images/after-a-day-on-ski-slopes/feed 0 http://vertexpress.com/images/apres-ski-in-vt http://vertexpress.com/images/apres-ski-in-vt#comments Tue, 21 Dec 2010 21:42:13 +0000 Sergey Ulitenok http://vertexpress.com/?p=2464 Skiing is just one part of any ski trip. We had plenty of fun at Mount Snow last weekend: it was not too crowded, temps were moderate and packed powder pretty soft.
