New Front Page!

We just went live with a new front page (for real this time)! Let us know what you think by contacting us, or commenting below. We really want to hear what you think. If this doesn’t work for you guys, we’ll change it because that’s how we roll. If you’re just dying to access the old format, it’s still here, but we’re calling it The Blog. Go check it out! It’s just like old times.

This is the first of many improvements you can expect for FIS over the summer. If you have anything in mind that you would like fixed, or any features on the weather page (or whatever you can think of) just let us know. We’ll try to fix it up as best we can.

Here’s some random stoke from the winter (skier: Ben):

Apologies to MK (TEO) for the title, but it couldn’t be more appropriate. Does this look like we were slacking?

Half of The Stein’s Half Full

KC and I headed up to Sugarbush South for a quick after-work-hike-‘n-schuss. The itch isn’t gone yet, and as we discovered on Superstar Trail at Killington, these late season “turns” are great for our balance and agility. The view from the valley was pretty disheartening as both Sugarbush North and South appeared to be completely bare, but hidden up in a nook on Stein’s we were pleased to discover a fairly substantial patch. Optimists (or idiots) that we are, we couldn’t help but celebrate that half of Stein’s was half full. Perhaps the best part though is that the skiable patch is right near the bottom (albeit not visible from the parking lot), and so access is super quick and easy.

TR: Superstar Super Schuss

With the remnants of the Mother’s Day storm flowing away toward the Atlantic, we decided to schuss over to Killington to see what was left of Killington’s legendary base. We were optimistic despite the fact Powdr (the vowel-deficient corporate head of Killington) issued a decree that there was no more fun to be had on their mountain.
