If you’re a Denver Bronco’s fan the Super-bowl was anything but. Eli Manning and the Bronco’s never had a chance to buck as the overpowering Seattle Seahawks defense turned on the heat. Heat, however, was not on the agenda of Pennsylvania’s famous groundhog as the slumbering Phil was roused from his sleep only to say baloney and scurried back underground. Good thing the furry forecaster did that, because Old Man Winter was hovering overhead. The Good Ole Boy up North whipped up a good one and the weather forecasters didn’t’ see it coming. They were so focused on game-day and what wasn’t going to happen that they didn’t bother to look ahead twelve hours after the game (hahaha). Snow might not be good for football games but it’s exactly what the Ski Industry needs. This season had its ups and downs and this storm could not have come at a better time. After a melt-down two weeks ago, the resorts were battling back but now have nature as their ally. Although the weather didn’t cooperate for a few weeks it looks like we’re in for a great mid-season. Today is Thursday 2/6 and the 2nd storm (a big one) within one week just passed! Put the shovel down, grab your skis and go as conditions are superb!!

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve gotten out five times this season and each time to a different mountain. It’s been a mixed bag of Okemo, Shawnee, Blue Mtn., Hunter and Plattekill (more on this gem later). Two weeks ago on Sat. Jan 25th I met Frank DeRossi (Membership Discounts) at the Mahwah Sheraton. When I left home to meet Frank, it was really cold…about 14 degrees at 7am. I was reading the forecast for Hunter so knew we were in for a heavy day of winter snow, cold and wind, lots of wind. I arrived at the Sheraton and Frank steps out in pajamas, yes pajamas. In amazement I asked, “Frank are you wearing pajamas”?!?! “Well yes but pajama pants actually but I’ve got long-johns on underneath”. Having never skied with Frank before I was in for a day of surprises as he declared: “I have a Type A personality, go-go-go all the time; I don’t have time to get cold”. Not only did Frank not get cold, but he skied like the wind was blowing: hard, hard and harder. We met his two friends from Montclair ski club and it was like sitting on the lift with a bunch of kids. The wind was howling as we loaded Hunter’s Kaatskill Flyer for our first ride. The one friend, took off his gloves and was playing with his smart phone praising the ‘App’ he installed that logs total runs, amount of vertical, names of trails you ski and with a GPS feature and phone numbers of friends you ski with can tell you where they are on the mountain at any given moment. “Apps”….have invaded the mountain! Franks other friend wearing “Tele-skis” announced he wanted to do something crazy then went on to say he’s sure he’s done 50 mph on skis but wants to do 80mph. I turned my head and said, if you’ve done 50mph on Tele-skis you already have done something crazeee on skis. The Kaatskill flyer deposited us at the summit in a howling wind, where the actual temp was a balmy 12 degrees or less. I figured with the gale-force winds which had frozen my lips together surely it must be below zero. The four of us pushed off and the first choice of the day was a double-black. I mean come on Frank, talk about a crazy act on skis….a double- black as the first run on a sub-zero degree day with a 25mph cross wind…….

The Council trip to New Hampshire is history and since I didn’t go, I’d love to hear comments from those who did. In prior issues of our newsletter I reviewed each NH resort: (Attitash, Bretton Woods, Cannon, Loon, Waterville Valley) so those going would have an idea what to expect. However, it’s been a while since I last skied Cannon or Loon and never Bretton Woods so I welcome your thoughts on them, reverse guidance you might say but eye-witness testimony is always welcome. Saturday (Feb 8th) is the NJ State Race at Pico and Vermont is supposed to get whacked so it looks like conditions will be primo. Once again, Pat Finn is the Race Chair and will be announcing but certainly other people are needed to help out with various chores. If you are not racing see Pat or another Council Board member and volunteer a half-hour of your time. We always need people to write times on the board and if multiple people volunteer no one loses much ski time.

FEATURED RESORT: Plattekill Mountain, Plattekill, New York

Many of us know of Plattekill Mountain but how many have experienced it? In the winter of 2002-2003 I was at Belleayre for a long weekend that got interrupted by torrential rains. On Sunday, everything was saturated so I went exploring and drove to Plattekill. Unfortunately I didn’t ski that day and it took until 2014 to get back. The morning of Super-bowl Sunday High Life member/Ski Patroller Dave Nelson, my daughter Amanda, ex- ski racer Sunny Ross and I headed to Plattekill. Dave refers to Plattekill as Mad River South which is a good analogy as Plattekill is a down-home ski area much like Mad River Glen. The base lodge is rustic, well-maintained and welcomes with old-time country charm. It has three levels consisting of the 1st with ski school desk, rental shop, rest rooms, lockers and benches. The 2nd level is the main floor with the cafeteria. The 3rd floor has additional seating, a lunch counter, the bar and more rest rooms preventing the loathsome walk downstairs in ski-boots. The back side of the lodge has a lot of glass so while on the 3rd floor we hit the bar, grabbed some food, and enjoyed a view of the slopes.

While having a beer (Zweic – you pronounce it) the fellow sitting opposite me asked if it was good. That began a conversation about the mountain, its current owners and the fact that everyone here is ‘family’. In the next few minutes I found out just what ‘family’ means. In 1993, current owner Laszlo Vajtay acquired Plattekill. A few years later, he noticed a beautiful blonde who skied there and totally captivated by her charm, intelligence and good looks married her. I love smart women, not only did Danielle get a husband but a ski resort was part of the deal! As the conversation continued, I found out the guy opposite me was Danielle’s father who pointed out Danielle and Laszlo standing a few feet away. Being a representative of NJ Ski & Snowboard Council, I introduced myself to Danielle who welcomed me to (her) resort. Since acquiring the area, Laszlo and Danielle made a number of improvements one of which was replacement of the original T-bar on one slope with a new lift. A current project underway is a new snowmaking pond at the summit to allow gravity feed to the snowmaking system. Danielle’s Dad told me the family is immersed in the resort and they are always thrilled to see new people at their mountain.

Plattekill boasts a surprising 3,500 foot summit with a base at 2,400’ for a respectable 1,100 feet of vertical allowing runs of good length. The trail map shows 35 trails, a natural terrain park nestled in the woods and a tubing slope. Being a life-long skier, I’m intrigued by trail design and general layout of any resort. I really like Platekill’s trail system which makes good use of what nature gave it. Trails appear to have been created by someone who knew what they were doing and the layout offers 20% green, 40% intermediate, 20% expert and 20% double-diamonds. “Platty” as regulars call it, consists of 75 acres and while I don’t know what 75 acres looks like, this place looks much bigger. Plattekill is an exciting medium size NY resort with enough variety and vertical to keep you going for the day. Dad also told me that this is a family place where everyone knows everyone and many Platty- goers are regulars returning year after year for the homey atmosphere and really decent skiing. Having now skied there, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Plattekill and recommend it for a day of skiing or as a tune-up if you’re heading further North.

The resort gets its name from the town which took it from a nearby stream the Platte or Platte‘kill’. For people who are not cross-word puzzlers, the word “kill’ is synonymous with river. Plattekill is tucked away in Rip van Winkle’s Catskills and definitely worth the drive for those seeking uncrowded slopes at a unique ski area with old style down-home feel. If heading north on the NY Thruway take exit 19 (Kingston) then follow the signs for Plattekill Ski resort…..there are plenty of signs and no bad roads……you can’t get lost.

Plattekill offers some great deals so be sure to check out their website www.plattekill.com. Some of these are skier appreciation days and other (1) day offerings such as: Feb 7th when the first 50 people get a $15 lift ticket and Carload Day 2/14 when the more people you have in your car the cheaper the per person lift ticket gets. As other resorts, Plattekill has on-line pricing which offers a lower price ticket than if you buy at the window. The internet price fluctuates which can work in your favor.

COUNCIL TRIP: VAIL, COLORADO (Feb 22 to 3/1/2014)

If you’ve never been to Vail, you’re in for a BIG surprise because Vail is the grand-daddy of US Ski Resorts. We’ve all heard how large Vail is but do you have a handle on what large means. A good way to do this is by comparing Vail stats. with other ski resorts you might be familiar with (see table below). Vail has a front side, a backside consisting of Vail’s famous back bowls, and what is called the Blue Sky Basin. I’ve been to Vail so can give you an idea on the size. Vail is so big that it has numerous base areas scattered around Vail valley. As you drive from Denver to Vail on I-70 you pass numerous exits all of which say, “Vail Ski Resort”. They are far enough apart that you’d never know they’re part of the same ski resort. Some of their base facilities may not have a lodge and when I was last there some were only a ticket window, a deck and a lift to get you up the mountain to the “day- lodge”. One difference may have been that I stayed off site and was shuttled in each day so had to wear my boots on the bus or bring a back-pack with shoes if I wanted to walk in the village after 4pm. With ski/in ski/out units there should not be a problem unless you ski down and into the village at some point during the day and want to walk around. Vail’s base village has a lot of ski shops, clothing stores, restaurants, bars, etc. If you want to take it all in after a day of skiing you don’t have a lot of time because many with the exception of restaurants and bars close at 6pm. If you want to shop prior to closing that means returning to your condo to change or locking up your skis and clomping around the cobble stone village streets in ski boots which is NOT fun. Keep this mind and plan ahead if you want to shop. Vail is a destination where shopping is described as “upscale” so shop wisely or be prepared to drop a lot of cash.

Altitude Sickness: I am not sure of the elevation of the condo units but the base of Vail sits at 8120’. !0,000’ is the theoretical elevation for the onset of altitude sickness although some folks get hit with it sooner. Judging from the table below, it’s likely that most of your day will be spent close to 10,000’ so I recommend familiarizing yourself with the triggers of altitude sickness (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, chocolate, cola drinks, being dehydrated). Prior to the trip get more sleep, increase your consumption of water and throttle back on intake of the others. The MOST important fact is to drink lots of WATER each day and ease off alcohol and caffeine because they dehydrate you. Life at altitude is all about getting enough oxygen so if you still smoke, be prepared for what may come with it. I don’t smoke but experienced altitude sickness for three days while on a trip to Breckenridge. I’ve also been with people who were very incapacitated by it for 3-4 days. If you know you are prone to altitude sickness I highly recommend getting medication before the trip which will be cheaper than what you pay for trip insurance!

Council Tracks – January 2014

January 24, 2014 Don

Happy 75th Anniversary! Having been in existence since 1939 NJ Ski & Snowboard Council celebrates 75 years of service since being founded! The Council has been directed by many people over the years and continues to thrive. Serving the public first as New Jersey Ski Council and now as New Jersey Ski & Snowboard Council our mission is to represent the interests of ski clubs and promote the sports of skiing and snowboarding. The Council accomplishes its’ goals via a number of programs that include: a) partnering with ski resorts to make skiing/riding affordable through a negotiated lift ticket program, b) hosts an annual fall Kickoff event (The Ski & Snowboard Expo) to get skiers, resorts and travel agents together under one roof, c) sponsors a weekly racing program during ski season, c) runs the NJ State race for adults and children, d) runs the Stanley Shiraga Memorial ‘Presidents Race’ in honor of the past president, and e) donates to charitable causes affiliated with the snowsports. The Council has always had ski clubs and skiing as its central focus but also supports charitable causes including the Adaptive Ski and Sports Foundations of Windham Mountain and Vermont. In so doing, we discovered Staci Mannella, a partially sighted skier from Randolph, New Jersey and over the last several years became a GOLD sponsor. Due to her dedication and support from NJ Ski & Snowboard Council Staci is now headed for the 2014 Para- Olympics (see also page 5). Although economic times have been challenging, NJSSC has grown steadily over the years increasing membership to include almost 50 NJ and NY based ski clubs. Our organization is a member of and supports the National Ski Council Federation, the parent organization of State Ski Councils. We are also members of the Eastern Ski Writers Association and its parent the North American Snowsports Journalist Association. As often happens, changing attitudes, demographics and lifestyle force change and several years ago recognizing the high level of interest in Snow Boarding as a snow-sport, we elected to change our name. We are still the same organization but better positioned to serve our members in the coming years. A big thank you to Susan Donlan, Dennis Young, the board members and department chairs who make it happen. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY NJSSC, you’ve done well!

January is “Learn a Snowsport Month” and resorts are offering deals for beginners and those who introduce a newbie. As snow people it’s our duty to familiarize people who vegetate all winter to the fun of winter life. These are the people likely to vote ‘No’ to curb global warming and need to realize that Winter is Nature. No one actually likes to be cold, but no one actually likes to be hot either. These folks have no idea of the grandeur of mountains in winter, nor how much fun we have on and off the slopes. If we introduce someone to a snowsport they might consider joining a club when they realize what they’ve been missing. Vegetables are good but vegetating from November till April is not good for one’s health. Children should be encouraged to get fresh air and learn there is more to life than shopping malls. Experiencing life in winter is a “Natural” thing to do.

RESORT NEWS: In earlier issues, I mentioned mountain improvements at various ski resorts one of which is Killington. The Big K has been talking about a new mountain top lodge since they demolished the old one in the summer of 2011. Seeing pictures of the lodge under construction last autumn, I didn’t think an opening in Dec. 2013 was possible. However, much to their credit, Killington delivered because today I read a press release that the new lodge opened Friday December 28th, a real accomplishment for the resort! The new lodge is 15,000 square feet and accommodates 300 people. I don’t know of many summit lodges with room for that many so it may be the largest in the Northeast. Earlier statements by Killington were that its new lodge would be designed with the environment in mind and not overpower the mountaintop which we all hope is true. Besides trail systems and vertical, ski lodges at the base, mid-station or summit are defining factors for any resort. When we visit a mountain resort the human eye is unavoidably drawn to the summit as the pinnacle of the area and what sits atop is an asset featured in marketing brochures for years to come. The price tag for Killington’s latest addition is a cool $7 million and that includes a restaurant, bar and lounging area with sofas and coffee tables. It makes me wonder what kind of house I could build for $7 MIL? If you haven’t been to Killington yet this season, the new lodge can be viewed by visiting www.killington.com where they posted a video and interview of Resort Managers (and customers) in the new lodge.

Many who participate in snowsports realize that Resort Owners are shepherds of the mountain and the land. We know there will be development but hope it will be done responsibly and with respect for the environment which draws us to the sport. The sport of Skiing leaves a footprint on the land but that footprint can be attenuated. The new owners of Killington inherited a good resort but one needing upgrades. So far they have delivered the ‘umbrella bar, the new summit lodge, eliminated a number of cross-over trails making the slopes safer and added a ‘park’’ called The Stash. This is a sample of upgrades and there may be others I am not aware of. The new owners seem to be on the right track and hopefully they’ll do something about the eye-sore maintenance garage that we ski past when descending Snowdon Mountain on the way to the Rams-Head base.

A good way to do that would be an evergreen tree planting program such as the one at Elk Mountain in Pennsylvania. Elk has been beautifying their slopes for years by planting conifers along the sides of trails and other key areas. Of course a maintenance garage is needed but it could be tastefully camouflaged by the planting of trees that stay green all year. I also have a suggestion for another part of the resort that could be upgraded which is the tunnel connecting the Rams Head base to the Snowshed base. It would be relatively

Easy to involve the surrounding communities by running a contest where elementary and/or high-school students would submit designs for murals on the inside of the tunnel. Killington would pick winners, local merchants could sponsor a scene by donating the paint and high school students or art majors from the local community college could paint the scenes. This would involve students from all age groups, different factions (students, merchants) of the Community and well done eco-art would be better than a bare concrete tunnel.

COUNCIL TRIP: The Council trip to New Hampshire later this month is fast approaching therefore I conclude my review of the remaining resorts we’ll visit. I discussed Attitash Mtn. and Waterville Valley earlier so that leaves Bretton Woods, Cannon and Loon in this issue.

An easy way to do this is to compare mountain stats in the table below.

Resort	Summit	Vertical	Skiable acres	# of Trails	# of Lifts
Attitash	2350	1750	310 Acres	67 trails	11 w 3 quads
Bretton Woods	3100	1500	464 AcresLarge Nordic trail system	62 trails35 glades3 parks	10 w 4 hi-speed quads
Cannon	4100	2180	264 plus 86 acres backcountry total = 350	73 trails	10 w Only tram in NH!
Loon	3050	2100	370 acres with99%snowmaking20 km of Nordic & trails	61 trails	12 w 1 gondola and3 Hi-speed quads
Waterville	4004	2000	220 Acres	52 trails 5 glades	11 w 2 quads

I commented in depth about Attitash and Waterville Valley because I was at both in the last year so they are fresh in my mind. However, it’s been many years since I skied at Cannon or Loon (never at Bretton Woods) but I can tell you what I know about them.

Cannon: was state owned but I don’t know if it still is. Historically some felt that being a state owned mountain it never got the attention that a corporate run resort does. Some complained Cannon didn’t make enough snow to maintain fresh conditions but their website states 97% snowmaking on Cannon Mtn. with the addition of 130 hi-efficiency guns on the ‘front-five’ and other key places. It’s a (2) mountain resort and no snowmaking is mentioned for Mittersill peak which is a backcountry natural snow only area (currently closed). Cannon is a great mountain with the most vertical in NH other than Mt. Washington. The resort has a true tram and if you haven’t ridden one it’s a must do as the sight of a tram travelling up a mountain is breathtaking and conjures up visions of the Alps and James Bond. When I last visited Cannon, I only remember one base lodge which was a rustic log building with an all wooden interior and huge stone fireplace that gave it a warm homey feeling. Presently, Cannon has four retail shops at the Notch-view Lodge, the Tram Base lodge; a rental & service shop at the Peabody Base Lodge and a summit lodge so apparently the resort has grown over time proof that the state or whomever has not neglected it. The website lists dining options as: the Lafayette food court, the Notchview café, Cafe 4080 at the summit, the Tramway Country store (tram base) and Cannonball Pub at the Peabody base. The last time I skied Cannon was on a pristine cold day 20 years ago. I looked out at impeccably groomed trails of undisturbed corduroy. I buckled up, inhaled the crisp, cold, air, looked up and gave thanks I was alive then enjoyed one fabulous mid- week ski day as I and a handful of locals had the entire mountain (and parking lot) to ourselves. Cannon is a long-time favorite amongst NH skiers – DON’T miss it!!!!

Loon: On the Snow.com gave Loon a (4) star rating overall and I read a number of very positive reviews on the above website. All considered it seems that Loon gets high marks for everything from just about everyone. One reviewer summed it up as: “good terrain, fast lifts, good layout, easy to get to with great views”. Loon boasts 99% snowmaking to insure good conditions, has indoor and outdoor climbing walls, a zip-line which travels 700 ft. across the “raging Pemigewasett river”, a 20km system of Nordic & Snowshoeing trails, a day/night tubing park and if that’s not enough there’s a newly constructed Ice Castle that’s open for visitors ($8). If you are a boarder you’ll be happy to know that Loon’s terrain parks have consistently been recognized as some of the best in the country, winning high honors from Freeskier Magazine and Transworld Snowboarding, among others.

Bretton Woods: I saved this for last as judging from what I read I’d describe it as a real sleeper with more skiable acreage and amenities than all other resorts on this trip! Of the (5) areas, this is one I’ve never skied so you’re getting a totally unbiased report. Comparing the stats above, Bretton Woods has a few less trails but makes up in acres of skiable terrain. It also has 1 or 2 less lifts than the rest but four are high speed quads enabling big uphill capacity. As a coastal state lying to the East of Vermont, New Hampshire gets the first wave of moisture laden air coming off the ocean. Couple that with cold temps descending from Maine and Canada which makes for abundant snow. Last January I took a trip to NH and drove the length of Vermont without seeing any snow on the ground. Within 15 mins. of crossing into NH there was a foot of snow on the ground which got deeper the further into the state I went. Bretton Woods is regularly voted “Top 5” in the East for Weather” by SKI Magazine and this doesn’t mean summer. Snowmaking covers 92% of the area which is open for day & night skiing/riding. Improvements this year include: 40 new snow guns to Crawford Blaze, 20 upgraded guns to the “Ben” trails and other snowmaking upgrades for a whopping 54% increase in snowmaking! Bretton Woods has its own Nordic (cross-country) ski area and while I’m not a cross country skier, was amazed to read the following statement: The Nordic center is located on the grounds of the historic and restored Mount Washington Hotel and the White Mountain National Forest. Bretton Woods Nordic Center is one of the largest cross country areas in the East!!!. The 100-km trail network crosses open fields, meanders through woods of spruce and fir, passes beaver ponds and mountain streams, and traverses open hardwood stands. Enjoy classical and skate skiing or snowshoeing on trails painstakingly prepared with our state of the art groomers. Don’t forget to stop off at the warming yurt or the rustic, backcountry cabin on Mount Stickney. How many ski resorts can make this statement!!

Bretton Woods has stunning views of Mount Washington and if that isn’t enough to make your skis glide, they are celebrating their 40th anniversary. Now through March 1, 2014, guests who sign up for the resort’s eClub newsletter will be automatically entered for the chance to win a stay at The Lodge with 39 of their closest friends over St. Patrick’s Day Weekend! Make sure you visit their website and sign up for the E-Newsletter!! Bretton Woods won the 2014 Reader Ski Resort Award from Ski magazine! Oh, did I mention dog sled rides and the winter canopy tour?! Don’t miss Bretton Woods because this one is a sleeping beauty!

Last Tracks: On page 1 I mentioned that January is Learn a Snow-sport Month and I encourage everyone to take that seriously. Sometimes we need a push, sometimes we need to hit rock bottom before we are willing to improve our lifestyle and attain better health. With obesity in the US reaching epidemic proportions all of us need to do more.

Don’t sit back and do nothing for yourself or those around you. Take a non-skiing neighbor, family friend, niece or nephew to the slopes with you this month. Introduce them to the wonders of Winter in the outdoor world and a healthier way to live! Someone will thank you and our industry will be the better for what you did.

Staci Mannella: Recently the Morris County Daily Record ran an article about people heading to the Olympics in Sochi, Russia in March. Staci and Guide Kim Seevers did well in world cup races earning a sure berth on the team. The newspaper story also announced that Staci was accepted into Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. This fine young woman is a stellar example of one who did not let adversity keeps her from living life to the fullest.

We have followed Staci for three years as she pursued her dream that at one time might not have seemed possible. With help from Windham Adaptive Sports Foundation and her very capable Guide Kim Seevers this young lady is now ready to take on the World competition at the 2014 Para-Olympics. We look up to Staci and wish our best to this heroine who has captivated us with her determination and accomplishments. A speed princess on snow, a scholar in the class room, (Staci’s Mom told me she is a straight A student)…..we are all the better for knowing and supporting this fine young girl. New Jersey Ski & Snowboard Council is proud to be a Gold sponsor of Staci Mannella and her Guide Kim Seevers!

The hopes of NJ and NJ Ski & Snowboard Council go with you……..bring home the Gold!

Be healthy and Ski,

Bob Zega
