Where are you going this season (25/26)?

[Tony Crocker]

While ChrisC would love Small Groups Steep Chutes, the regular program Feb. 21-23 would not be beneath him. It's a slightly better time frame overall and it's the 4 seats originally used by flyover, John, tseeb and myself. The core of 40ish skiers my son Adam skis with at Snowbird will use those seats periodically but none of them can use them every year right now. So I strongly encourage ChrisC to join the group even though he would be by himself in 2026. He would not need to go every year, and there would be some years his brother in Telluride could go with him.

I also liked the Feb. 21-23 dates because there's little FOMO about skiing elsewhere. It's right in the middle of the Euro ski holidays and the Presidents Week timeframe can be busy at many U.S. resorts too.

January 16-18 dates may have 2 open seats. Let me or EMSC know if you are interested. I will still be going.

Anyone want to ski Mustang Powder in January or Feb?? I'm asking others as well, but not easy to fill with such short notice to Jan esp.

I should update everyone on this.

Given the slightly goofy way that seats opened up to me last spring I had originally set to go with a couple of my guys trip buddies, one at a time. One Jan trip, One Feb trip.

With my departure from both trips the Jan trip taker decided to move his slot to the Feb trip so those two, who know each other, could both ski together, leaving 2 seats on the Jan Cat under my name, which Mustang has luckily been able to find buyers for. @Skieric , I hope your new cat mates turn out to be some good skiers and good guys.

My attack was severe enough that I won't be seeing snow till at least next season sometime. Glad to still be posting to these boards, but also a very long road to hoe for me unfortunately.

The photos coming out of BC (resort, cat, heli operations) are pretty epic this year!

Well, the Powder Chasing experiment is a bust for 2025-26. Partially because of snow conditions at both Monarch/CB and Big Sky/Bridger but the main reason is a major medical issue for my non-skiing husband that involved an unexpected hospitalization and lengthy recovering time. If I had the time to do a trip, would've flown to Bozeman.

My friend is probably going to head back to Alyeska, where she's been going in December and April for a few years. Her non-skiing husband likes Alaska. She can do just enough WFH to make it a full 2-week stay and make good use of a season pass. Plus she's come to know locals so will have ski buddies most of the time.

We learned a lot doing the trip planning. First time I've deliberately booked flights and lodging that could be cancelled fairly close to the arrival date. Had enough SW FF points for most of the flights.

Hope he is recovering nicely at this point.

Hope he is recovering nicely at this point.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. He's being discharged tomorrow, somewhat earlier than I expected. His medical history is complicated. So It's the rehab and long-term recovery that's a bit of an unknown.
