If you’re new to Skibum.net, welcome! And please, click around…critics say we have very well-written snapshots of virtually every ski area in the USA. From community rope tows to mega resorts, we’ve got ’em listed with a brief, on-target description. Except Northeast Slopes in East Corinth VT, which is a great place with automobile and truck driven lifts. And excellent hamburgers.  Don’t know why I left it out.  Anyway, aside from that one, we got you covered — just click on the map in the upper right.  Wow there’s a lot of ads these days…scroll down please…

Long time users have contacted me from time to time saying hey what’s up, why don’t you post anymore, we miss your blog, etc.   First off, thanks for your kind words.  Some of you have followed this site when it began as “skiernet.com” back in the early 2000s, migrated to “gondyline.com,” then “skibumusa.com” as I sold those off when I needed cash, now “skibum.net.”  It’s been a long grind, and I just can’t commit the time to doing it right on a daily basis.  So we’re kind of a reference site these days, but the attitude — with apologies to the late Warren Miller — remains the same:  The best ski area is the one you’re at today.  

See you on the slopes!
