A fun fact: OHMSS James Bond novel location was depicted at Piz Gloria near St. Moritz however in the movie its the Piz Gloria in Jungfrau.

@jamesdeluxe and anyone else who is a dedicated map nerd (guilty) here's a link and insane catalog of maps you can go WAY down the rabbit hole on. **(I keyed in RAILROAD in search and there is material for days). Don't miss some of the Alps ones either...

Hey gang. I know Ill take some for this, but sadly can’t add to anything as I decided to bail last minute, but hear me out… Leading into this I was not feeling super hot to begin with but that wasn’t a total deal breaker but coupled with the following I bounced. The vast majority of my plan...

Knowing Frontier they’d probably charge you $15 to use the slide if they did deploy it.

Its more bait as I see it. When you purchase thru it you GET 5x more points when purchasing or redeem existing points are worth ~1.25X what they would be normally. End of the day its as ChrisC says, third party site with all potential for "call the third party booking site" game that sometimes...

I wonder if you've also encountered this: Let's say you find a flight with optimal prices and times via Google and then log into Chase travel Portal and try to book the same flight (bc who doesn't want to redeem try to redeem these for 5x the points). It seems like one of the optimal legs you...

Definitely, but yes, I got bags covered. @jamesdeluxe this is the plan indeed. Gotta scan my schedule and wrestle over jan or march but its on the " "list".

Noticed this happening last-night. Comically low.

Erratic is me trying to be diplomatic since I've never been there and don't want to body-slam anyone w/o first hand experience. However, some of their issues and visitors sentiments are pretty well documented. These I've heard many times with my own ears and have seen written all over and I'd...

Being in Madison, its clocked at 6 hours from here. Friends of mine that frequent the place say to budget 7 bc the 2 lane roads can be terrible if its snowing (and its always snowing). I frequently have clients of mine that know I love to ski ask if I've ever made the trip. My short answer...

Excluding Denver and speaking strictly from a time on the mountain aspect; Ill add to this perspective from a midwesterner: If I were to go from where I live in Madison WI to say, SLC or Spokane, JHMR,....thats a stop in either ORD or DEN. Even if I leave by 7am, the flights typically don't...

Brundage is officially locked and loaded. No sense in messing about with changing at this juncture particularly with the good base. Keep it coming! After thinking on it and considering Brighton has always been one of my favs (~1000 acres vs Brundage !1500) Toss in Tamarack and thats plenty of...

I have a trip booked to Brundage for Jan 21-27. Idea was to get onto a snowcat for a day or two while there. I was put on the list and told id def get a solo spot when they start taking bookings which were to commence end of December. I guess I mistook this as a beginning to the snowcat...

I saw this come across my s.m postings this morning. I feel bad for anyone having to navigate this event.,,def sounds like a huge setback for a wide portion of this region. Hope all is well and prepared for a good holiday! Cheers https://www.weathertoski.co.uk/weather-snow/

That is kinda what I figured. Thanks for the investigation. Back to the drawing board here.

I know there’s a general sentiment that there will be plenty of places to stay last minute now that it’s moving into off peak. That said, there is NOTHING available in Morzine / Les Gets and most of Grand Massif area (that doesn’t have a bunk bed and under rich guy cost) . I’m eyeing this for...

Geneva, yep...arrive 730A on the 6th.

Got ya...I have no real plan, but to follow best conditions. If I have to take a day trip to other "near places" Ill do it as well. I guess its sort of moot between Zinal and Vissoie, they are but 15 mins apart. ...barring we're not all vaporized by then.

One thing I would ask: if you had your pick, where would you base there? I booked Vissoie (based on Powderhounds) as well as Zinal, which seemed more logical to me. I have a car and I'm usually not in a terrible hurry. (of course this is all subject to change now that there isn't a need to...

Switzerland does not require the Covid Certificate anymore...I have seen this on several places outside of even the Swiss State Webpage. Where you can't even apply for it anymore simply for visiting. This is screenshot from Val Anniviers this: As Tony states, Fernie was very accommodating...
