HI, At Lake Louise this week. Snow is pretty good, but getting thin, and the sunny warmth Tuesday didn't help. Does anyone have first-hand information about conditions at Sunshine before we take the bus over there? We're staying in Lake Louise, so it's much easier to stay here. tia, Tom

Hi all, Apologies in advance for a posting in the Western forum for a non-skiing question. My wife and I spent a week at Jackson Hole earlier this month, and to my astonishment, when we returned home, she declared that in retirement, she'd like to spend a year (at least) living in the area...

Hello fellow FTO'ers. I haven't needed to advertise anything before, so please bear with me. This is certainly non-commercial. The Rochester (NY) ski club is running a trip to Park City March 1-8, 2014. The trip includes airfare, ground transportation and 7 nights lodging at The Yarrow Resort...

Hey gang, I'm going to Stowe March 8-12 for my first visit there (on skis at least - winter backpacked Mansfield and Spruce in 1975, but that's a story for another time). Anyhow, I've skied alpine for about seven years now, and have probably skied 100 times. I'd consider myself a strong...

An email from a buddy who's a patroller there: (Verbatim - I didn't fix the typo on the domain name.) Sad news. Tom Dear Swain Patrollers, It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Swain Resort. The business will be listed for sale with the intent of finding an owner who...

I've got a question for you Suunto S6 users. I've had one a little over a year, and on three separate occasions, when I recorded a day-long log, all I got was about 8 or 9 minutes of gibberish. For example, it thought I skied 8 runs for a total 3500 ft, from 8:15 AM to 8:23 AM. The first...

Anyone have any knowledge or crystal-ball information about Killington or Jay? I'm thinking of taking a weekend at K the 21/22 March to try a telemark clinic - I thought it would be a good way to try it out. I've skied XC for nearly 40 years, and alpine for 6, so it seems like a reasonable...
