    Where to Go for New Years?

    We had a trip to Jackson Hole booked for months but given conditions we're going to cancel. I was bascially able to get all the money back so all good. We want to ski as the kids have off the whole week after new years. Thoughts on Alyeska? Seems like lots of snow there, reasonable lodging...

    June Mountain?

    Question, heading up to Mammoth this weekend and weather is saying very windy at Mammoth and June. Knowing how busy weekends are and knowing that upper mountain lifts will be closed at Mammoth we were thinking of trying our luck at June on Saturday. Any experience how they do on windy days...

    POW Day

    I saw this on my twitter feed http://www.firsttracksonline.com/2016/01/02/ski-utah-pow-day-jan-13/ and gave it a read and thought the article was a little awkward in the fact that it never once mentions the word "climate" or "climate change". Clicked the link in the article and saw...

    New Summit Lift at Solitude

    Just saw this on Twitter https://twitter.com/skisolitude/status/474938359593598977 Interested where they're putting it, they say on Facebok that " The location of the new Summit Lift will allow access from either Sunrise, Apex, or Powderhorn chairlifts."

    This Weekend

    Land in SLC Thursday night and skiing Friday through Sunday. Haven't seen many reports from outside of LCC recently, likely go to Alta on Friday. Is the coverage decent yet at Solitude? How about the Ogden resorts? No complaints, forecast looks promising. Sent from my SCH-I545 using...

    New Direct Flight from LAX to Redmond (Bend)

    Just saw this reading an article about the new "airline war" that's breaking out in LAX. Sounds like a great thing for LA flyers. Reading some stuff I see that AA is adding a non-stop to Bend. I looked up flights, the flight to Bend is great, 6:50pm take off means you can work a full day and...

    Mammoth 3/8/2013 through 3/10/2013

    Made it to Canyon lodge on Friday at 1pm bought a ticket and was quickly on the hill. We missed the great powder morning but everything was still really soft. A few laps on Canyon Express were a good warm up. Then hit chair 5 for 3 laps, then chair one for a lap, finishing up with 3 laps on 3...

    SL Tribune

    Kinda shocked they didn't just endorse Mitt because of his religon, but then again I don't know how religious the paper leans. Well thought out and reasonable piece (yes, I live in California) http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/opinion/55019844-82/endorsement-romney-obama-president.html.csp

    Valhalla Powder Cats 1/17/2012

    Second day in BC, skied Whitewater on the 16th, it was good. I'll post some more but here's a glimpse of a great day cat skiing. About a foot overnight on top of another foot or so a day earlier. Don't know the exact density but it was cold out and the snow was amazingly light...

    Last Minute Change from Mammoth

    I have some family heading to Mammoth this weekend and we committed to it a while back. Mostly it's for their kids and I figured we'd have fun just hanging out for the weekend and skiing a few icy groomers. They had some friends just get back and they heard a lot was going t oclose. Obviously...

    January on the Powder Highway

    Looking for some ideas on a reasonable itinerary for skiing in interior BC for about a week. The idea is a Sunday to Sunday trip in Mid January (that's the dates that seem to work and there's already a decent amount of snow on the ground). I'm flying in from LA the rest would likely be from...

    Memorial Day weekend at Mammoth

    Just curious if anyone (Tony) has any thoughts on what the conditions will be like up at Mammoth this weekend. Looking cool/cold with highs at mid mountain around the low to mid 30s with a bunch of wind. Maybe a little snow too. I'm just wondering if anything off trail will be skiable. I'll...

    Solitude 4-2-11 & 4-3-11

    I'll start off by saying skiing wasn't my #1 goal this weekend, getting engaged was. Saturday we got off to a leisurely start around 9:30 and at the top of the Eagle Express (her favorite lift) we got engaged. Thanks to Nick Como at Solitude for arranging for Robert from accounting to be...

    Mt Waterman Opening This Weekend

    Just saw this on Waterman's Site: I'm planning on trying my knee at Baldy on Friday but is anyone thinking about going to Waterman this weekend? Any thoughts on what to expect for road conditions (ie, will I need chains or 4wd as I have neither, actually all I have is RWD for the weekend).

    Coming Back from a Knee Injury

    So as I've mentioned in previous threads I had a pretty bad grade 2 MCL tear and significant bone bruising on January 22nd. It's been a struggle, but I can finally walk fine and physical therapy is helping with strengthening. I went back to see my doctor today who tested my MCL and said it was...

    1/22/10 & 1/23/10 Alta then Solitude

    Feeling lazy and pretty down after an guy hit me going full speed at while I was in line for the Summit Chair at Solitude on Saturday but I thought I'd share some pictures from a great (started off that way) weekend in BCC/LCC. My knees pretty banged up, seeing the orthopedist later today and...

    Socal Next Week

    Just thought I'd post up some weather info, looks like the season is finally going to get going. I made a reservation with my $50 season pass at Baldy for next Wed. Obviously there's a lot of time left but the special weather statement on the NWS makes me happy. I'm just hoping for a good...
