For me the ultimate in skiing is perfect corn , 45 degs and sunshine...I can rip giant turns for ever.. That said, with the record snow pack out west. Where would you recommend going in May or even June?

Writing a detailed report on my phone is not in the cards. Here’s a few pics.

Well, I gambled and kind of lost...I planed on going to Portes-du-Soleil over the Xmas break. The weather had other plans. NO SNOW... Fortunately I was able to divert to Zermatt. Still not the best of conditions but at least there is skiing.. The hotel in Morzine will hold by deposit for the...

Since Dick Bass wrote Seven Summits , I have been a armchair mountaineer. At the age of almost 52 I decided to get my ass out of that chair. I signed up to climb the mountain with International Mountain Guides (IMG). I enrolled in the 3.5 day Disappointment Cleaver Route. To some a walk up. If...

Plattekill usually operates Friday thru Sunday. Unless there is a substantial storm, then the owner call a audible and opens. It snowed 13 inches on Wed. So me and 75 or so of my closest friends had the place to ourselves..

I'm not going to bore everyone with every little detail of my trip. The short of it is we had a wonderful time. We got the full weather treatment ,rain , snow and wind. The mountain is super fun and interesting and Bend is one of the best ski towns /towns I have ever been to. The most friendly...

Instead of the usual Vermont trip this Holiday week. My wife and I decided to go to Quebec for some culture and skiing. We skied 3 days and tubed one day.. MSA is your typical corporate type of ski mountain. Wide groomed boulevards. That turned in to a icy beast . The north side offers a little...

After a very tiring and satisfying day at MRG . My daughter and I decided to ski Pico today. A little boulevard skiing after MRG's bumps was what we needed. Pico sure delivered. 2000 + vertical of perfectly groomed carpets of corn..Nice way to end the best 2 days of the season..
