Couple of East Walls and a couple of Steep Gullies with some Pali runs thrown in, all in the same day. Dang EMSC, you and your crew are animals!

Because I'm out skiing.:brick: Snowbird view this morning, no lakes but pretty nice.:p Oops, dragging my own thread off-topic.

The power of oil money is amazing!! Never been to that part of the world and never thought I had much interest, but I have a daughter in Jakarta for the next 18 mos so there is a possibility I could visit if I went to see her? There must be a huge amount of tourism in Dubai to support such...

With respect to Tony and James' ski-lake experiences:

About lake views, last year I wrote at length about the impressive views at Diamond Peak, NV. But there you see (up close) about 3 miles of Lake Tahoe. At Schweitzer you are looking at much of a 45 mile long lake, from a little further distance. Both are mind-blowingly beautiful. About weary...

One day during my visit to Schweitzer I took my non-skiing wife on a chairlift ride up to the summit Sky House restaurant. It has a cafeteria section and a table-service section. Yet, I found the whole structure to be smallish, beautiful, and maybe even quaint compared to huge on-mountain...

12 years ago I wrote an article on this subject. I guess I'm way overdue for an update. :icon-lol: My wife retired from skiing about a dozen years ago, but skied for 40 years before that. Recently at Schweitzer she took a chair lift ride with me for a scenic lunch in the SkyHouse Restaurant...

I skied five out of six days last week at Schweitzer Mtn, ID. It was my first ever visit to Schweitzer. It was as beautiful as advertised. The skiable acreage (2,900 acres, 2,400' vertical, top elevation 6,400') was more impressive than I expected. The front face of the mtn features quite a...

Aspen Highlands is one of the most scenically beautiful ski areas in the US and these photos prove it. :) Love your Moab shots too. Bravo!

The density would be intensity :) Bulk of new Snow coming later today, so I would expect tomorrow to be a freaky Friday. Visitor numbers start dropping in late March or early April, and are somewhat conditions-driven. The huge number of local snowriders will keep coming if the snow does. But...

Tony, I am going to mess up your timeline with this post, but feel free to rearrange it. 12 Mar 2025 with the two Tonys at Snowbird, UT. I got to spend about three hours with @Tony Crocker today. Tony S (@tseeb) and his wife Lucia joined us for the second 90 mins of that time. Tony C and I...

Loveland Pass Rt 6 was closed on my powder Tuesday too.

That's the million dollar question. You'd think there would be enough locals and vacationers in Summit County to make it busier on a pow day. Perhaps because the snow storm the night before was not predicted to be as good as it was, perhaps because folks in Denver can't charge off on short...

I spent six days recently skiing Copper Mtn and A-Basin in CO, but it is the two days at A-Basin (Mar 4 and 7) that I will discuss here because truthfully they were the most memorable skiing-wise. I love A-Basin. I only get there once every five years or so. The scenery, terrain and stoke are...

I never drank a drop of alcohol until age 21. On my birthday I got puking drunk on Jim Beam while stumbling around college campus. Been a moderate drinker ever since. Mostly beer, rarely liquor.

You covered a lot of ground in your one day in LCC @tseeb The firm-ish snow is made up for by the plentiful parking right now :icon-lol:

I guy told me yesterday on a lift at Snowbird that it had snowed seven Fridays in a row until no snow on Friday, Feb 21.

I make the 6.5 hr drive (mostly very beautiful) at least once every winter from SLC to Las Vegas. Have a tradition of meeting friends there every Super Bowl. Between about 10 to 20 miles north of Vegas on I15 there is a ton of trash caught in tumbleweeds along the side of the interstate. I've...

24 Feb 2025, quiet Monday one week after Presidents Day. About four days removed from last fresh snow, nice sunshine, mild temps around 40 degs F. (Snowbird got 5+ feet between Feb 14-21.) Left Cottonwood Hgts at 8:43am. Arrived Snowbird Entry 4 (Bypass Rd) 9:05am (five minutes slower than...

James D mentioned sometime back about the BS factor with Trump. He uses BS to test the water and initiate negotiations. I honestly think some of the anti-Ukraine BS talk right now is somehow setting things up for a reasonable settlement of the Rus-Ukraine war. I think all of us here would...
