    For you glasses wearers — do you keep them on when you ski?

    I keep my specs in my breast pocket so I can see once I go inside a building. I haven't smashed them yet. Touch wood.

    Beer thread

    I don't believe I've had those beers but I'm sure I've sampled something from Alchemist. I've only been to the east coast of the USA once. (And I didn't ski there). It was lovely but between my house and the east coast of America is the Rockies and Sierras in the west of the USA and if I go the...

    For you glasses wearers — do you keep them on when you ski?

    I have prescription goggle inserts. They are great. I have previously had ‘over the glasses’ goggles and they were not at all comfortable. In warm weather I prefer to ski in prescription sun glasses but in cold weather I can’t as my eyes water badly.

    Nice. Speaking of Spanish I have been studying for my upcoming trip to Chile. So far I’ve got - “Una cerveza, por favor”. That should just about do think.

    U.S. Presidency #47

    I’m not just referring to Mr Trump and his doings when I note that the world is a mess at the moment. It’s certainly as worrying as I can remember (since about the mid 1980s when I became old enough to partly understand global politics and order). Can any of you veterans remember feeling as...

    U.S. Presidency #47

    It's what I am worried about. I have the semi significant funds from a real estate sale. It frightens me as much to have it sitting in cash on the sidelines than it does to deploy it into already overcooked markets.

    U.S. Presidency #47

    Two years is a long time. It's really concerning. I (like most Americans I suppose) have the bulk of my life savings tied up in the world's biggest and most innovative economy. It'd feel a lot better if someone that at least appeared to be sane was at the helm. The current president and his...

    U.S. Presidency #47

    I had no idea that the names had changed on Google maps. That’s crazy. American businesses are bowing down to a demented dictator? Land of the free? But no - it’s still Lake Ontario when I search.

    I’ll do that. Warm up day to rediscover ski legs at El Colorado. Then La Parva. Then Valle Nevado. I think I’ll bring my 92mm skis. Better than the 102s for groomers and fine for spring conditions.

    South America 2026

    We will be in Santiago on the 18th and I'm looking forward to seeing the fonda in the main park there. Sounds fun. I won't be day drinking though.

    South America 2026

    Thanks for the heads up on buying tix online prior as we’re not Ikon holders. We’ll be skiing the 16th. We might catch you for some turns. I’ll check in with you before we buy our tickets.

    South America 2026

    Are the dotted lines on the VN trail map not groomed but controlled where the solid lines are groomed? I can see a legend on the map.

    Are both on the same day ticket? I thought they were seperate.

    Is there a point where even the hard core MAGA people are offended?

    Patrick's Streak, Ski Travel Priorities

    ^^^ I own residential investment properties and I dislike them from the hassle factor point of view. (Not to mention their long term return hasn’t matched equities). If I had my time again I wouldn’t have ever gone down that road. I do think it will become less of a bother when I’m not working...

    South America 2026

    This is somewhat related given I’ll be in Chile in mid to late September….. I know mid March in the northern hemisphere is the same as mid September in the southern hemisphere but my brain has me thinking poor conditions are more likely in the southern hemisphere at that time. Is this because...

    U.S. Presidency #47

    You’d think so. I’m sure they understand this is the doings of a rogue administration that is throwing their weight around globally. It’s such a bad look in the Canada case because of the long term largely superb relationship between the two nations. Why would you throw shit at your best mate?

    U.S. Presidency #47

    Becoming disrespectful? The insults about ‘51st state’ and ‘Governor Carney’. What a poor excuse for a human.
