A few more photos. The first is store I stopped at ~10 miles before Showdown to get some cough drops. My Mom has tenants name Nihart. Building you load Payload lift through. Lift claims to be 4400' long with 1100' vertical with is steeper than Prospector which claims 6700' length and 1400'...

We are in control of four seats, but you are correct that if we don't pay a deposit to renew them with a week of Feb. 22, 2027, they will be lost. Paul, the retired Dr. from SLC who went this year got into an open slot that Mustang sent out an email about. AFAIK he did not renew but had a week...

It seems like if you didn't eat meat, especially pork, you would be missing out. Besides serving pork bellies as one of the courses in the last night's dinner Mustang has a way of baking bacon that makes it turn out perfect; slightly crisp but not too crisp and cooked. They also have sausage...

It was my 2nd day in a row at new to me MT ski area. (Sunday, March 1 was Showdown.) Some differences are that Showdown seemed to stay cool while White Sulphur Springs, where we stopped for a soak, and Bozeman both got into the high 50s. Also, the cold that I developed from sharing gondolas or...

Day 2, Sunday 2/22 was our highest vertical day at about 14K which is somewhat low for Mustang. We skied a lot of powder, but they were mostly short runs. This is Paul in what may have been Madri Gras. Next photo was taken about 4 hrs. later after we got around a frozen waterfall that Paul...

This was my 7th time at Mustang and my first time since 2023 when new snow got almost too deep. I brought Blizzard Spurs I’d purchased before previous trip but had not had the bindings adjusted. Since I’d had a binding problem with DPS skis my last day at Heavenly and I knew one of the brakes on...

Today was my 11th day skiing in a row on my trip and the second day in a row that wind affected lift operation, Panorama could only run their bottom level of lifts. They ran the middle level a couple of times but never let anyone on it. The Mile 1 Express was not running very fast so line...

Instead of paying US$143-163 and skiing for free in Revelstoke, after skiing on Tues. I drove to Golden and paid $135 for 2 nights at a motel very close to downtown and walking distance to the Wolf's Den. The next morning I paid $113.50 for a Senior ticket that I hung from my pants on a wire...

After 3 days at Mustang, I returned to Revelstoke and skied with JohnL from SkiTalk who was also at Mustang. I found him near gondola that we loaded a little after 9. On a later gondola ride guy said it took him 90 minutes on previous day from when bus dropped him off at ski area to get to top...

I noticed Silver King chair at Whitewater is a center pole chair that has bars that fold down from the center pole. Didn’t take photo as it seemed sketchy with low side bars and too cold to take off mittens.

I don’t know much about Korean food but may check out Seoul Street on Mon night depending on what time we get back to town. Thurs night it was quiet when we had 6 pm reservation and very busy where we ate and elsewhere at 7 with many places had people waiting outside for tables. Fri morning...

I met up with Paul (P-Ute from SkiTalk) at Revelstoke base not much after 9. He reminded me that we'd met at Mammoth when I skied there the first three days of July in 2019. He is on right in first photo at bottom of post that nobody probably looks closely at due to bikinis in 2nd photo. Paul...

This was my second day there. First day was three years ago with fresh new snow. https://www.firsttracksonline.com/boards/threads/whitewater-bc-2-21-23.14701/

Some stats and maps from my Garmin watch.

I waited a few minutes for Nelway border crossing to open at 8 AM, quickly entered Canada, drove through Salmo and past Ymir to Whitewater. I could have gone to Red Mountain for free but instead paid over $100 (Senior not 2-day in advance rate plus $5 for pass card that hope to use again...
