    Banff/Lake Louise late February?

    can be interesting and is super close to town, but generally is much firmer and less snow than either LL or Sunshine. Plenty of decent enough eating places in Banff; the only one that really stood out to me the couple times I've been was: Waldhaus. Though I'm sure there are some other decent...

    Cannot resist linking this video whenever Aussie Emu's are referenced!

    Golf

    From what I've heard, wouldn't a lot of 'lads' be trying to hit the kangaroos? I've heard those beasts can be kinda obnoxious to deal with. Or is that more myth than reality in dealing with Kangaroos?

    Powder Mountain, UT: Feb. 19-26, 2013 (from the old Epicski forum)

    The road is also nearly entirely in the bottom of a 'canyon'/creek drainage so almost no exposure to drop offs, cliffs, etc... So more narrower valley but more LCC or BCC-ish with risk being slipping into other traffic at 30-40 mph. Or maybe I'm just used to Eldora Shelf Road, Loveland and...

    American Election 2024

    There is one problem in that sentence. Democrats still have no idea how and I'm pretty sure simply don't want anything resembling Orderly when it comes to immigration. And of course Trump/current republicans want nothing to do with anything resembling Humane or Comprehensive when it comes to...

    Wasatch Interconnect

    Building true real world infrastructure is not even in the ballpark of building some software and maybe an anonymous data center in an industrial area. He thinks very highly of himself though just like the 20 somethings that had bought Powder Mtn before selling to Reid Hoffman after much failed...

    LA Fires: Jan 2025

    Wait, an English professor is pretending to be definitive about weather/science attributions to fires? And claiming to know the science of toxins in the air, soils, etc... That's interesting at least and more potentially a big red flag. Especially for the NYT. I thought they were all about only...

    Pandemic Disney World, FL, Aug. 21, 27, 2020

    I also am glad to be done with Disney. I took my son to each of the parks about 4 years a part, the 2nd one being World in fall of 2019. Of course that only happened because my wife had a conference at one of the Disney hotels so her plane ride and the room were free as it were. That made the...

    Fire threatens Tamarack, ID again ...

    ?? It's less than 2/3 of a mile to the lake edge from the lift. That's quite short in the scheme of pipelines. But it sounds like they have no water rights for any water that is in the lake and thus have to pump it from a well. Many ski areas have much, much longer pipelines to their water...

    Fire threatens Tamarack, ID again ...

    Their insurance might try to help some, but it's unrealistic for the most part. You have an entire cities worth of infrastructure scattered all across the mountain in typically rather rugged terrain. It's far too much to try to protect the whole place with a small crew which is what insurance...

    Lobster Rolls

    Much of the south and oddly the UK over the pond is a seemingly endless pile of brown and tan foods with few veggies or exceptions anywhere in sight (at least when eating out at local focused food joints).

    Golf

    Now that's a break. My full break was only about 15 years. But I also had a stretch of another almost 10 years where I only did one or two charity golf events per year. Just restarted 2 years ago and have only managed a small handful of driving range and rounds per year. My game is both short...

    All About The Ivy League

    @Sbooker , US News and World Report is the college ranking publication everyone uses and also loves to hate... they put Dartmouth at #15 in the US. US College rankings @ChrisC , Felt odd for you to randomly mention my undergrad school in your listings of only a dozen or so top schools in the...

    U.S. Dialect Map

    Interesting. I have never heard that term ever used in New England states myself. Though I obviously never lived directly in NE either. I can say that there is zero use of said term anywhere in upstate NY though. In fact I never heard that such a term even existed for a water fountain until I...

    U.S. Dialect Map

    But did your family of 5 order Sheet Pizza's from there on occasional weekends or for parties? Semi-staple order if we ever got Pizza (pickup only, no deliveries back in the day) They are the typical Pudgies greasy and also HUGE. "Sheet 26"x18" 32 Slices" or rarely the combo meal "Sheet...
