Man With Jet Pack Fly's Over Royal Gorge Canyon

Jet Pack Man makes 1'500 feet accross the Royal Gorge Canyon in Canon City Colorado. Pilot Eric Scott has done it. Eric Scott had 30 seconds of fuel to set a World Record For a Jet Pack Flight.

Scott Said that the Jet Pack needed to be modified for his flight. We have found a Youtube Video of Eric Scott demonstraiting his Personal Jet Pack.

Skiing is slow in Colorado now and this Jet Pack Pilot has really created a buzz. You YES YOU can become a Jet Pack Pilot. Click Here for details on The Jet Pack Pilot Search.

Locally we had no live feeds from the site, so I'm keeping a eye on youTube for the release of a video and hope to update the Video and have The Actual Jet Pack Flight Accross the Canyon soon

Arapaho Basin and Loveland Tie for First Opening Day

Loveland Ski Area and Arapaho Basin tied for first ski resorts to open for the 2008-2009 ski season.
I haven't been but some boarders staying were I am told me the first day was packed with Colorado Resort Employee's.
I'm in Beaver Creek and have no ski's. Housing is so hard to find that I left my ski's at home and having them shipped once I have a full time place to live.
Yup that's right The Northeast Ski Zone is skiing Beaver Creek this season.
I have so many connections back home readers here will still find relevant information here plus Colorado info as a bonus.
Moving to Colorado to teach Ski School isnt easy. The housing situation is so messed up. There are 100's of people looking for housing and rents can go from $700.00 and up.

Snow In The Forcast For Northern New England

Just when hiking and foliage was on our minds snow is predicted on both coasts this week 10/1. My favorite News Station NECN's Matt Noyes says we can expect snow showers in Northern Vermont Friday night.
The area snow is expected is in the higher altitudes in a area I like to call the snowbowl. The area northeast of Burlington Vermont were J Peak is located gets massive amounts of snow every year. Storms blow in accross the lakes, over Burlington and let it go. Huge amounts of snow get deposited in the mountains.
This is my favorite time of year. The leaves are turning and we can see the weather patterns turn towards what skiers like to see. Instead of the patterns swinging south and then back north with warm temps, the pattern tends to stay north and grab cool air from Canada. Start to look for reports of people hiking up Killingtons and Mad River Glen soon.

Good Bye Summer 2008, Fall In New England Is Here

Hope everyone had a good summer because it's over this weekend. Time to kiss your summer lover goodbye and start thinking about ski and Snowboard season. The 21st of Sept marks colder temps and leaf peeping. As a matter of fact snow flurries are predicted in northern Maine.

The Farmers Almanac is predicting lots of snow this winter so I suggest saving up some cash for gas and consider season passe's for you favorite resort. Resorts are dropping there price's for season pass's to get folks to the mountains.
