LP, One way to find out is to visit Berkshire East in the Summer or Fall. www.berkshireeast.com/the-mountain/summer/zip-line-canopy-tours-berkshire-east/They've got the longest and the best in the East (on one of the longest and best tours in North America). It's pretty fun, a great family or friend day adventure. I should also add that Berkshire east Just opened up their Mountain Coaster (also the longest in North America), and They are having Gravity Logic (the designers and builders of Whistler Mountain Bike Park) build a DH mountain bike wonderland on the hill to open next spring (which, adds to the already 30 miles of xc single track in and around the mountain for biking). Just saying, Charlemont, MA is becoming one of the best, nearest and most affordable four season outdoor adventure spot in the East (I can also recommend checking out Zoar Outdoors rafting and their zip lines which are right across the street from Berkshire East).

Impressive. If in area, will definitely have to do the Valley Jump Tour. Pricey, but where else are you going to get similar length. Way Cool.

PS Inquiring minds want to know: when will we hear about Lynn's new skis? Todd: Dec. 7th is likely to be our first day on the snow. We fly to Colorado on Dec 5th (thru the 12th). On the first trip of the year we no longer ski the first day (or only limited time). Just to recap, both Lynn and I downsized our narrow skis last year (as did LivingProof, btw). Lynn is now skiing on the Head MYA-7 (117-65-97 12m radius @ 156). I changed to the Fischer RC4 Superior SC (120-67-100 14m radius @165). Fortunately, both models have early rise as part of their design so we won't have any problems with the deep powder in Colorado (and in Buffalo?). Since it is our first days on skis, we are only taking 1 pair each, not even taking our wide ski options. .

Today will be day 6 for me. It'll probably be the first time in history I'll have more days in than Todd, so I'm going to relish it! Well, until the video analysis segment, that is. Then I'll probably switch to sobbing and general malaise again.
