I still have 3 days left on my Mountain Collective Pass for Mammoth, and I'm considering skiing this Tuesday-Thursday, May 2-4. I see that the forecasted weather is mostly clear, with overnight lows at 35-38 and highs around 60 (summit lows 25-30 and highs 45-50). I haven't been spring skiing in...

First of all, thanks Tony and the others who replied to this thread. Good food for thought. Regarding lower back pain, I had a bout of Sciatica back in 2010. I got through it with core stretching and exercises, physical therapy, massage and prayer. I kept up the stretching and strengthening...

I have a friend who is turning 60 this year. We went on a 3 week Mountain Collective road trip in February and he was skiing better than ever, but he told me recently that he is hanging up his skis after this season. After a lifetime of riskier sports like hang gliding, rock climbing...

I skied Louise today and Sunshine yesterday. Sunshine was nice with some new snow. I liked Lake Louise better, though. Still found some decent snow in the trees, especially off Larch Express lift. Now Revelstoke Sunday and Monday...

My daughter is a student at Dartmouth College and is taking ski lessons at the Dartmouth Skiway. She noticed on Saturday that there were a lot of French-speaking families (presumably from Canada) on the slopes. That seemed strange to me, given the unfavorable (for Canadians) exchange rate and...

Nice video. The quadcopter footage gave a nice perspective.

Nice pics! I especially like the one at night with the campfire and starry sky. I need to get to the mountains. I can't believe summer is about over...

Actually, for next season (2016-2017), Whistler/Blackcomb Resort is still being honored: https://mountaincollective.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=Newsfeed&utm_content=Aspen&utm_campaign=S16strike5 OT: I had to reset my password; how do I change the temporary one? The email said to go to my...

Thanks for the post. Looks like an interesting place to ski.

Sad and sobering news. Sorry for the loss for you and others that knew Doug. My prayers are with you all.

Thanks. I really picked the wrong year for this injury!

I guess the Mt. Baldy "Bowling Alley" experience is good for something. That upper Baldy road can really be treacherous, especially if some clowns up ahead of you start sliding backwards on the switchbacks. Thanks for the trip reports. All my skiing is going to be vicarious this year, as I...

Don't hold your breath. BTW, how do bump skiers' knees hold up after years of skiing the bumps? Seems like it would takes its toll...

Thanks for your post and the link to J. Spin's report. I skied Stowe one weekend back in 1979. I remember one day was foggy and slightly above freezing, while the 2nd day was so cold that they were handing out blankets for the chairlift ride. That was the first large ski area I had skied at...

The Mountain Collective would be especially valuable for someone with both time and money to make shorter notice plans to chase the good conditions. It is harder for a working person of more average means to take advantage of the benefits, but still worthwhile. One modest road trip can allow the...

I skied Aspen while staying at Glenwood Springs a month ago. The drive each day wasn't bad, although we didn't have to drive in any snow. Would surely take more time in a storm cycle. We stayed at the Quality Inn and Suites. That hotel was comfortable and quiet, and they had a decent self-serve...

I see that Sun Valley was added to the Mountain Collective Pass for 2015-2016. I think I would have preferred Taos, NM, since they generally get more snow, esp. in recent years. Of course Taos' location would have been a double-edged sword- Good in that their storms are not so closely correlated...

I skied at Jackson Hole today (for the first time). It's quite an impressive resort, and the weather was beautiful today. Unfortunately, everything off-piste was skied off since the last big storm and/or had thawed/frozen. The groomers were decent. Some slopes softened in the afternoon, although...

My friend Jeff and I bought Mountain Collective passes for this year. We planned a driving trip to ski several of the destinations. We headed from Los Angeles to the Aspen, CO area initially. We spent 3 nights at the Quality Inn in Glenwood Springs. We found that hotel to be clean and quiet...

So sorry to hear about Jake's untimely death. Judging by the pictures and accounts you've posted here on Liftlines, Jake was a beautiful, playful dog who was always ready for an adventure; a fine example of "Man's Best Friend". -Roy
