The history of a ski location holds a lot of weight. There are plenty of golf courses as good or better than St Andrews or Augusta but legends just are.

I don’t know. I don’t watch the ski racing. I guess it’s not as easy to mock up a ski brand as it is a cricket bat.

My flight has been cancelled. Iran lobbing drones and missiles at the airport. I couldn’t get any other flights through Hong Kong or Singapore. I’ve booked for June but will be taking hiking shoes instead of skis. It’s yet to be determined if there will be enough avgas for me to get there that...

^^^^ Sorry about the minor thread drift but I’m wondering if the pro snow athletes really use the skis/boards from the manufacturers that they are sponsored by? I know the cricketers sometimes appear to be using a Gray Nicholls bat for example but it’s really a Gunn and Moore with Gray Nicholls...

His skis might need a wax after that. Edit. Snap. Tony beat me to it.

Also interesting. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/top-us-general-warned-trump-before-war-that-iran-could-close-strait-of-hormuz-report/ The situation in the Middle East is concerning for all but how it will play out is fascinating. Mr Trump is under considerable pressure I would...

I don’t suffer greatly from jet lag as I almost always get at least 6 hours sleep crossing the Pacific or at least 8 hours going to Europe. My method is to wait until after meal service then take a 5mg Valium, don the eye mask and ear plugs and lay the seat back the 15 degrees. I like the...

I generally don't fly with Qantas. We have a rewards program Virgin Australia/Singapore. We have a credit card tied to that but to be honest we are not spenders (aside from travel) so it doesn't do a lot for us. I just look for sale fares. (Our just cancelled trip to Milan was through Qatar and...

Fair point. Life is good.

I’ll look at flights to Canada today. Now that our first choice has been cancelled there are some good reasons not to travel in the coming few weeks though…… We unfortunately live in what is basically a big country town down the bottom of the earth. No cheap flights last minute for us.

I feel those geniuses behind Epic Fury are pretty keen to find an off ramp now. Maybe Pete didn’t think of all the possible consequences because they don’t have economic and political messes on his Play Station. Qatar just cancelled my flight and there are no flights available with Singapore and...

Mr Trump seems to be currently building an off ramp so I may still be heading to Europe of the 22nd. Some snow in the forecast apparently. https://wepowder.com/en

Sounds good. I've got to nail down exactly what is happening with my flight to Europe. Hopefully they'll let me know one way or another in the next few days.

With the cost of lift tickets in the US coupled with a less than ideal exchange rate I think I’ll stick with Canada. If I had a pass of some kind the US might be in play.

I'm feeling that my flights to Milan on the 22nd of this month will be cancelled. I probably won't know until a week before. Alternative flights through Singapore are now crazy expensive so if the existing flights are cancelled I won't be flying to Europe. Are there any reasons I shouldn't fly...

That was the year that the Sierra and Tahoe had 'miracle March' I'm sure. I can still remember the pics of loaded snow at Squaw Valley.

Nice report. Seems like a lot of fun was had.

Unhinged.

This is the bottom line. Religious extremists with nukes is a recipe for disaster. They'd be too willing to become martyrs and get their 72 virgins....... For sure. There is no clear outcome to all of this. I'm hoping your president 'chickens out' and declares some kind of victory so the whole...

Related to this I might have to cancel my Europe trip due to being scheduled to stop for a few hours in a war zone. Alternative last minute flights are likely to be extortionate so I’ll probably look at going late April. I might even consider western North America. @Tony Crocker how is Mt...
