Just got back in Kittery at 3:45 this afternoon...2 days of sun and blue sky, great snow conditions and very few people on the slopes. Have you skied south mtn at Loon? The rain started in Manchester coming home.

Awesome - glad that you had a good time.

I've skied most of Loon - with the exception of the double black diamonds and the more difficult Black diamonds - my skills were not up to those when we lived in Mass.... now that we don't live in MA and don't get to ski as much I'm not sure that I'd be up to them now either.

Given the choice I'd go to Sugarloaf or Sunday River, but I can't handle the drive from PA.

Now you're just rubbing salt into the wound.

I used to love flume.

OK guys who have not haanded over your family jewels to the little woman, lets get some snow pics!!

We dont have snow yet but its cold, wet, rainy and windy....perfect conditions for driving a car designed to handle the worst mother nature has to offer - I had a wonderful ride in again today (like everyday) and have a beautiful Porsche to thank for the huge smile on my face dispite the foul weather.... I know there are others out there doing the same because I followed a 993 C4 for a few miles today... exchanged a friedly "howdy" wave and our separate ways we went....

Something sexy about those wide body cars! (too bad they mess em up with AWD )

Well this is the cleanest my car's ever been.

3 day snow camping trip in Yosemite. This is Badger pass for anyone familiar with the area...and for the record the car was on summer tires and it was FINE!

And Ed, you know you wish you had AWD. Feast your eyes on some sexy lines!

Great pic! I drove my 996 off and on the first winter I owned it on summer tires, and I had no issues. But that year, I didn't drive in the snow. Now with 4 Blizzaks it is a lot of fun, plus I get to use my Porsche.
