Cali Squeeze is very good and refreshing. It contains Blood Orange which adds a lot of color and fresh flavor.

I have some photos from this year that I'm finally posting after taking care of things outside before it got too warm. Yesterday was 105 at nearby wunderground station and my weather station got to 107. Today, which was supposed to be cooler, my weather station got to 100 about noon. List of 6...

Your link did not work for me. This one did.

Adding to comments by @Tony Crocker on the Heavenly tram that I often park near and ride if it looks like I will catch first or 2nd tram. The lowest level of Heavenly is always in the shade early and cold so it's nice to be inside. I'm sure when I learned to ski at Heavenly not too long after...

My weather station had 0.02" of rain this morning. From Mammoth's website: Mammoth is open for skiing and riding through June 7 Sonora Pass is closing for storm after they remove a semi stuck near Kennedy Meadows. See...

My goal was to match my age at 70. I ended up with 56 after (edit) 43 last year and 47/46 the two years before that. Is 80% a good effort or barely a B- grade? Vertical totaled 1.204M or 21.5K/day up from 1.06M, but down from 24.67K/day the previous year. I picked a good year to make two trips...

My last day of the season started a little after 8 AM and ended a little before 2 PM. Then it was followed by a little over 5 hr drive home including 9945' Tioga Pass that opened last Friday. I crossed Yosemite with minimal stops and mostly light traffic. I didn't like how dirty the snow was...

Monday May 18 was only chairs 1, 2, 3, 23 and lower gondola. Totally sunny but I saw 19F at my car in early AM so very slow softening. I started with 2 laps on chair 2 skiing Stump Alley that was groomed smoother than previous day. Bottom of chair 10 (not running) and chair 2. Loading ramp was...

@ShiftyRider G2 was closed due to wind. PM me your phone no and we can try to get together tomorrow. I sent you mine.

I'm only skiing May 17-19, but included May 20 in title as I think Tony Crocker is skiing it. I left So. Tahoe not much after 4 and parked by Harrah's to use facilities at Dotty's casino. You can't read too bright sign for Lucky Beaver in the middle. They were closed but gas firepit in table on...

Caught this on my phone on drive between South Lake Tahoe and Mammoth early on May 17. Will try to get report up from skiing Sunday 5/17 at Mammoth when high winds closed most of the lifts for a while. Where I spent night my car thermometer said it was 19F when I got up Monday when it was...

April 16 was the last of my 6 April days at Kirkwood. May 16 was my first and only day this year at Palisades. I went to Palisades to break up trip to Mammoth which is too far for an early AM drive and to go by friend's family house across the street from Lake in King Beach after skiing. They...

Kirkwood is owned by Vail. Bought for $18M in February 2012. Bargain price and thought was to prevent Ikon from buying it. I followed example set by @jamesdeluxe and asked Google "is kirkwood a cult ski area". Reply follows and note the reference to firsttracks. AI Overview Yes, Kirkwood is...

No love for Banff Sunshine? Delirium Dive and Wild West not expert enough? 2/20/2020 report when @Tony Crocker and I skied both. Note that Fernie is getting 2 new lifts in the next couple of years according to https://www.powder.com/news/4-new-lifts-bc-ski-resorts that also says Kicking Horse...

Sounds like it got a little better each day after the new snow messed up the corn cycle. I'd be in more trouble with rented boots as I'm not an easy fit. Not sure I want to admit to all I've left at home on trips this season but will share from two trips in January. On solo Tahoe trip I left my...
