    Western North America Conditions 2025/26

    I've skied two days and it was a mixed bag on both due to conditions. The last two days I skipped due to rain. Back at it tomorrow. It's been very warm so far and yet I know that every single year that we have a ragged opening, somehow it's fine for the Christmas visitors and then they hit it...

    Peak Rankings List of Best US Ski Areas video

    Like Tony, I wasn't going to watch a long video, but managed to go to the contents and click right away on the section I was looking for, 16th being where I thought I should find Whitefish.

    Vail Resorts Q3 22 Results: Interesting Epic Pass Stats

    It's been getting worse, and I never ski Saturdays, but the local population are churchgoers, so Sundays are good until maybe 1. As a passholder, that works out fine. There's a new 6 pack going in which should make a huge difference.

    ski area myth busters - good or bad

    Whitefish has gotten ridiculous - the "Zestimate" for my house has doubled in the last 18 months. And if I look at eight other places than Zillow, the Zestimate is the median estimate, some are 70% higher yet. It's even spreading out to Columbia Falls. Which leaves Kalispell as having some...
