You bet. I generally don't view this as a "US-only" problem. Certainly Canada has it's fair share of blame here. And it's certainly not a Repulican/Democrat/Liberal/Convservative/NDP/Bloq/Green problem either. All past & present minority, majority administrations north & south of the border...

Here's the way our economy works: You want stuff, people sell it to you. You and EVERYBODY ELSE want something, and lots of it can be manufactured: it gets sold to you cheap. You and EVERYBODY ELSE want something, and not much can be manufactured: it gets sold to you expensively. You don't...

The first time I visited T was the year before Intrawest bought it, and everything was as it had been for a while (though you could tell some stuff was definatley in bad shape). My thoughts were "how quaint", and that the little cottages reflected the beauty of the area. When I went there...

I have always been curious what that building was, since my first trip to Tremblant almost 20 years ago. It's too bad, because with some renovations it could still be a really beautiful building, an icon of Tremblant's history.

I'm going to use my psychic powers and guess that they were each given a bag of horseshoes for Christmas. Now I'm the first to admit that I know very little about avalanche safety, but those two exhibited embarassingly bad judgement.

Happy Birthday! I look forward to another year of your wisdom 8)

NO kidding. It's been raining here for the last 2 days straight, but it's been above 10C. I keep thinking "if only it had been 15C colder... we'd have a few feet by now..." Luckly, the temps are supposed to hit freezing this weekend... right after the precip stops... :roll:

Music to my too-warm ears (it's been up to almost 15C this week at times...) :D :D :D :D

That shot of Rainier is incredible. Keep them coming :D

I think I herniated a disk just watching that video. Takes me back though... Might be one of the funniest cliff drops I've ever seen. :lol:

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us north of the border. Enjoy your holidays, and if time allows, make some turns 8) Peace,

A friend of mine just did that. Fully explains why it just keeps warming up here in the GTA

No Kidding. If I'm over 5000ft, hiking (with ski gear) feels like running up the CN tower stairs without breathing. I realize that this is not ture for everybody, but take it easy on the hiking. Also, if you're feeling a bit faint / feeble at lunch, relax untill you feel better again. I've...

I've spent some, but not lots of time at ~8000ft (1 week), and I would echo what has been said. I notice the altitude most during the first couple of days if I'm pushing really hard, or doing any hiking. I have basically realized that at high elevation, I simply can't do much hiking if the...

My arteries are congealing in delight at the thought !

I'll take the bait: I love skiing in the east, most of the eastern skiing I've done has been in Quebec. And it's worth doing the 7+ hours of driving. That being said, those times when I have enough cash saved, I love heading out west. It's just a totally different experience. Is one 'better'...

Poutine and the Joie de Vivre, what more could you want 8)

Now that's my kind of supervision! :lol:

Snowman: love your site, been a longtime reader. Keep it up.
