December 7-14 at the Cliff Lodge Jan 25-Mar2 based in Park City

I used to get rust on the edges of any pair that I stored in my basement. I don't get any water leaks, but the natural moisture that comes up through the concrete was enough to create rust. I solved this problem by leaning my skis against the wall next to the oil burner. It runs year round and...

To give you a sense of how this storm was above and beyond the normal nor'easter's we see here, these were taken Saturday afternoon as I was trying to get to a gas station to stock up on gas for the generator. And then, Sunday morning bliss:

I agree it was uber-hyped, but it indeed ended up as bad as they predicted. All thoughts of heading north for some pow dissolved into the reality that 1) my house had no power ( went out Friday night, came back Tuesday), and 2) the roads (both local and highways) were in horrible shape, so even...

Marc, Thanks to you, Bobby, and Amy for showing us some of your favorite lines. We went back for seconds on Back Forty after you left us. Highlights of my week were touring Red Pine on Thursday, skiing and skinning the back of Rocky Point twice on Friday, and of course, all of Saturday and...

Well done! I've booked a flight for Dec 10, crashing with some friends at the Cliff.

That will certainly be a game-changer for Taos.

Enjoy a nice long breakfast. The rule with the bowls is to let 'em bake a bit in the sun after the previous night's freeze. +-10:30 works as a good rule of thumb. Later if it's slightly cloudy. Follow the sun around the aspects that are just thawing out as the day progresses, and you'll have...

Amazing footage. Even more amazing that no one was hurt, after seeing the lower chairs smashing through the oncoming debris.

Slightly OT: I'm looking for recommendations on a place to watch the superbowl in PC. cheap beer, good bar food, big HD TV's???

We're heading to Park City in Feb. The gifting office at Westgate(the condo complex at Canyons) offers the following deals Alta/Snowbird-$66 Park City-$66 Canyons-$80 Deer Valley-$69 I'm not sure if they require proof that you're staying there, you might give it a try. You can also buy in...

The word from my Vail homies is that the kids entered the (open) lower gate at Prima Cornice then hiked back up to the area behind the upper (closed) gate. Sad.

They're good for putting on your dog too.

All that, AND you've been skiing too? Bravo!

Great report Marc. PowMow is one of my favorite places, precisely because of all the terrain and options available. Back in the days when resort management was a little more laissez faire, we used to take sleds out in that area and lapped some of those same shots. We had to build our own snow...
