    Vail Resorts Red Flags in 2021-22

    Sprung for the same $359 Senior Tahoe Value pass. It's one of the few senior passes offered by VR. A colossal dud as I only used it one day this year. Snow drought left Northstar with mostly hard pack that day in January Next 6 weeks more of same. Got to get at least 2 more days. But VR...

    Alta, UT 3-9-22

    Visibility wasn't great at Alta 3.8.22 either. They got at least a foot of snow. Probably just enough to hide the moguls like at Snowbird where I was today. Snowbird claims 12-17 inches. Plus 9 inches today giving a 26 inch storm total. Maybe another 1-3 tonight. Kind of a test post. I've been...

    Squaw Valley, CA 4/29/19

    Was trying to connect with tseeb on Siberia but found he did reverse Traverse & Sun Bowl which takes you to the bottom since Headwall lift is done for the year. Wanted to stay topside to meet others (mostly unsuccessful). Tom & unpiste were traveling to fast to catch as my skis were in bad...

    Smallest most obscure Ski hill you've been to?

    3 more. Cochrans ski area Richmond VT I took my sister there about 1962 but did not ski. A 91 foot vertical at that time ! in the Cochran family's back yard with one rope tow.. They are a storied family. Three of them were on the US Ski Team. Barbara Ann Cochran got a gold medal in the 1972...

    Smallest most obscure Ski hill you've been to?

    Braddock Heights ski area close to Frederick MD About 1980 when I skied it there was 1 T-Bar with 150 ft vertical. and a rope tow with about 80 ft vertical thru apple trees up to a house. People in the house (the tix office) sat around a bar laughing at the skiers. Maybe 10 tickets sold on a...

    Sun Valley added to Mountain Collective

    agreed. my wife would have done way better with MCP. Squaw is $119 now. Heavenly dropped to $98. We skied Squaw today. Actually very good-mostly mid-winter like. The measly 1 inch of new snow bonded very to the hard surface. I skied many runs on Headwall chair inc the face for first time this...

    Sun Valley added to Mountain Collective

    Squaw at $124 this year is a sure bet for bay area guys, Aspen, at $129 even with Epic gathering, which I plan to attend, is not a sure bet due to harder travel and lodging plans

    Kirkwood, CA 3/10/2015

    That's crazy tseeb, skiing Snowbird then driving most of the night to ski Kirkwood the next day. Kirkwood probably got quite warm with sticky snow after you left at 12:30pm Sugar Bowl certainly did that afternoon. We did it a bit differently - Skied Snowbird Fri &Alta Saturday (missed you &...
