    Big White, BC. February 10-11, and Apex Mtn, BC. Feb.13-14, 2025

    Last year we hit 49º N and Whitewater during this week, and this year was another Indy Pass-ish trip up north... with Big White and Apex (and possibly 49 N again). The wife and I did a trip to the Okaogan last week. The region saw roughly a foot of new snow the previous week, but that was about...

    Cancel Ski Trip?

    We're (wife and I) are supposed to head out from Idaho (by road) for a week on Feb 11 and hit 49*N, Red Mtn and Whitewater. It's not looking good with the recent stretch of very warm temps, rain and lackluster bases'. Looks to get colder over the next week, but not a lot of new snow. That...

    Mt. Bachelor, OR May 25-26, 2023

    I don't normally do many trip reports, but got some time tonight and thought what the hey. I had 2 day passes left to use, and have been trying to get over here from ID for the last month... but the stars never aligned. I had a cold this past week, but was feeling better Tuesday, so wife told...

    Brundage Mtn AND Tamarack, ID announce expansion plans

    Just last week, Brundage announced plans to expand terrain, and add overnight lodging as well. If done right, I think it will be a good idea. Brundage is seeing increased visitation from the explosion of population in ID over the last several years. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2021/01/ ...

    Wildfire at Tamarack Resort, ID

    No damage to infrastructure, but it has burned 60+ acres. The lift structures in the photo are roughly at mid-mtn. Cause undetermined, but likely someone doing work on the mtn... IDL, USFS or Tamarack Resort. https://www.facebook.com/IDLFireInfo/ph ... 735715881/"...

    Your thoughts on Telluride?

    I hope to go there in a month or so with my MC Pass to see for myself what the mountain is like, (albeit in a poor snow year). I have expressed some interest to the wife about looking into property near Ridgway perhaps in a couple years, so it would be considered my home mountain if we did move...

    Wolf Creek as your "home mountain"

    So our latest travels look to take us to Pagosa Springs, CO in our search of our long term home. In the last 5 yrs, my wife and I have lived in the mountains of Socal, Leavenworth, WA, Driggs, ID, and Whitefish MT. There have obviously been some great ski areas in those places, namely...

    Grand Targhee, WY 1/2/14

    Well, I finally made it back on the mountain after my Dec 3rd crash, which left me with a concussion and 3+ weeks of headaches. With help from the chiropractor, I haven't had a headache in 4 days, so decided it was time to get back on the saddle. With the holiday crowds starting to wind down...

    Grand Targhee, WY 12/3/13

    After a week and a half of bluebird and every other day of riding nice PP groomers, we finally got the storm cycle going again. Although, we only got about 22" out of this storm (2-3 ft predicted)... it was still nice to get more base and obviously some powder. Went up for a couple hours this...

    Grand Targhee, WY Opening Day 11/22/13

    The wife and I packed up and moved from Leavenworth, WA to Alta, WY this summer... very excited to have Targhee as my home mountain 8 miles away. So far, we (wife and I) love Teton Valley and the surrounding area. I have only ridden here once, on a trip to Jackson about 13 yrs ago. It's been a...

    Mission Ridge Ski Area, WA threatened by wildfire

    I live in Leavenworth now, and Mission Ridge is about 40 minutes SE of me near Wenatchee, WA. The dozens of fires in this area were started by lightning a couple weeks ago. The fire is indeed threatening the ski area. While the article below from yesterday is optimistic, I got some firsthand...

    President's week crowds at SLC area resorts...?

    Several yrs ago, I was at the Bird on Presidents weekend, and it wasn't "that" busy. I don't remember liftlines being anything more than a few minutes at most. I don't know what the other places were like though as I was staying exclusively at The Bird . The lady and I are considering coming...

    Is Sundance worth a visit?

    So I've been to several of the ski areas in the general SLC area, and I'm coming back with the lady sometime this winter for probably a week, to hit the rest I've not been to(Powder Mtn and Brighton) and a re-visit for me to Snowbasin and the Bird and maybe PC). Let me first say that I realize...
