2026-27 Ski Season Thread

[GCWarrior]

So nice lately I’m barely thinking about skiing(though I really am!) Ive been out on the bike every other day for a couple weeks now. Trails are all running really nice around here.

Done a few rides at the newtrail network out in Hancock, MA, Shaker Ridge. Super fun manmade flow with a sweet ripping single track as well.

The latest delay in cold arriving is bad news for the Killington world cup race on Thanksgiving.  They can even think about making snow until the week of the 11th and then its a back and forth with warmth.  

Terrible looking early season pattern.

Next year I will start a mountain bike thread. It’s honestly one of the best ways to stay in shape for ski season. I have a gym membership but I’m finding I go less and less. Bikes, core workout, and leg blasters are all I need to get me ready for skiing. I’ll probably keep riding if the trails are clear(which I think they will). Ride and ski in the same day is always a fun time.

Great ride yesterday up the road at Greylock Glen, trails were very leafy but still a lot of fun!

Will 2nd the notion that MTB is a great cross training sport. The terrain reading techniques easily translate from one sport to another.
