Wondering if anyone has ever skied here ? I'm heading to Zakopane in December ... it looks like the snow quality and vertical drop are similar to skiing in Big Bear, CA. Thoughts? http://skiresorttrailmap.com/trailmap/z ... zymoszkowa

I arrived at the mountain and loaded onto the quad at 9 am (back in the 80's, this place would open up at 730 -- WTF is this Utah or something)? Pretty frustrating..........anyways... Headed to some unskied areas off of chairlift #8/9 (defunct). As this area requires a cat track return...

Headed over to SV. One thing that's certain about skiing in SoCal. Decent conditions often don't last long. When it snows, the sun comes out shortly thereafter, which causes the temperatures to reach above 32 degrees. Well, considering this is a big desert, it often drops below 32 at...

Beautiful day in the Socal sun. I arrived at 1 pm. First time I've skied Snow Valley in .....15 years? Hard to say. Very few folks were out, some kids on spring break. Virtually empty. I lapped the new high speed 6 person chairlift over and over. I'm guessing the vertical drop is...

Arrived to PowMow at 935.......after debating where to go. Snow was quite good - not all time blower, but definitely lots of face shots to be found on every single run. High density followed by low density in the morning. Snow showers turned to beautiful snowy conditions in the upper...

If you want to watch a really cool flick, look for "Dog Days of Winter" on Amazon Prime (Prime Video). Obviously "Dog" refers to the "Hot Dogs" who pioneered freestyle skiing. Requires a subscription to Amazon Prime. It's the history of freestyle skiing -- with great reels from the 60's...

Wondering if Tony and others could chime in on the best option for new boots in LA/OC? I'm going on 10 seasons on these: https://www.rei.com/product/758471/tecn ... boots-mens and I always felt like i never got these dialed in -- always felt cramped/half a size too small. Surefoot ...

A quick TR. I had always wanted to visit Telluride. It's a bit of a haul from Los Angeles -- about 14 hours. The haul from LA to Cortez is 12 hrs, overnight stay, followed by a 1.5 hr drive to Telluride. It had snowed the last few days (M/T) and I arrived on Wednesday morning and made a...

Been a long time coming for me to ski Aspen. When you're new to a place you don't know where to get lunch let alone where to park let alone how not to cliff out. The skiing over the past few days has been quite pleasant -- creamy lines, very soft, light snow, sun. I hiked the Bowl at...

All i gotta say is: WOW. Second chair on Collins. The crisp bluebird morning sounded like Baghdad -- always a good sign. Always fun to watch people jump when the bombs go off....... Warmed up on West Rustler -- chalk like consistency. Wind buff , rippable but not good for a starting...

Still no sign of Admin or the Alta Powder Posse. With the crowds that showed up today, it's easy to get lost in the crowd. Got an early start today and arrived at the parking lot around 8 am. Put my skis in line at 8:15 and got geared up. The lifts started turning at around 9:25. Lots of...

Hemmed and hawed for 2 hours this am looking at trip reports online. I'm from SoCal and when I hear the phase "Pineapple Express" - I somehow shut down and think of other things to do......... Was 46 degrees in the valley when I got in my rental car. The line entering BCC was absurd. I...

Knowing full well that the snow was going to be similar to the previous day, I decided to head up and get some sun and snow. As you can see from the pictures, moguls and groomers were much of the terrain. Kachina peak skied quite well........the wind had done a number the previous nights...

It's been fairly dry the last few days -- hasn't snowed in 3....... LA to ABQ Wed night........3 hr drive to Taos.......... lodging in Arroyo Seco.... Got to the slopes at 9 am......about 20 degrees out in the morning -- the high today hit 40 degrees at midmountain. This was my first day...

Just to add a few more pics to make you drool...... Getting up the canyon was quite the experience. When I arrived, the traffic was backed up to the La Caille sign (where the incline begins). Interlodge was supposedly lifted at 8 am, and when I finished breakfast at Carl's, I noted that the...

Headed up to the bird to use day 1 of the Mountain Collective pass last Thursday. I was a bit dismayed at the flashing 4x4 / chains requirement sign at the bottom of LCC. Seeing as though I rented a Hyundai Accent from Enterprise, I figured taking the $9 RT Ski Bus was in order. However, I...

Just a late TR from Solitude ..... Used the voucher from the Warren Miller Ski Film -- which included a free ski day at Solitude (any day). Started the day with a proper meal at the classic "Carl's Café" on Fort Union. All American omelette from Carl's will keep you going all morning...

Left SLC at 645 am. Roads were a bit gnarly, as snow fall started in the early morning. I saw a few crashes en route to Eden. Stopped at Beto's in Ogden for a proper bacon breakfast burrito before heading up (highly recommended). Arrived at PowMow at around 910. On Paradise lift around...

Jackson Hole has always been on my skiers "bucket list." I took the 835 am Friday flight on United from LAX to Jackson. I brought two pairs of skis and boots for $25 and a small carry on bag with some base layers. I must say, I do lean towards Southwest's free baggage (2 bags) policy --...
