I have seen it on resort apps, however not other signs. 85% of Tremblant's terrain is also accessible from the summit, therefore the sign placement is very helpful to determine where to go.

The signs certainly been there a long and continues to serve the purpose of providing lift line duration well, however the section with the temperature could use some updating as it has some malfunctioning sections in the numbers. Yesterday I was thinking it may be time for them to update some...

i wouldn’t usually make the 6 hr drive to Tremblant for opening day, however my son has a hockey tournament in Ottawa this weekend. Therefore we decided to add a day of skiing. Despite rain the day before, conditions were relatively good for the first day of the season. Rain had...

2 winters ago, I was able to find a very nice moderately priced hotels 3 minutes walk to the gondola on the south side of town. Most hotels also include breakfast. I found the most expensive costs in Switzerland to be the food and not the lodging. The other challenge will be an...

I find it interesting that Copper Mtn is such an established training center, however I can’t recall them ever hosting a WC event.

Keystone just decided to open this afternoon at 3 pm. I guess they wanted to open before Abasin.

I have never had the opportunity to ski in an indoor ski area. I however, would simply prioritize taking my ski boots. jacket, pants, etc., and don’t think that makes too much of a difference and could rent or improvise. Generally rental skis are high-quality so that would be easy to rent.

I think our group on this board can more effectively ski around the bottlenecks. The worst lift-lines at the larger resorts you list is generally their prime intermediate terrain or for other reasons such as Tremblant on the cold days, the gondola gets long lines, but not the chairs.

I suspect that West Virginia has enough elevation and perhaps some other unique geography that provides orthographic enhancement. It's rather far from the great lakes, with no other mtns to the west.

Thats a crazy increase. I think mine has increased by 50% in that same timeframe due to inflation on replacement and repairs.

Very much agree. This is always an issue in my house as well.
