I hadn't even looked till today, but on desktop I was forced to click on the rightmost option several times to get the 'chips' to move and display more options to the right... Eventually giving me the wet bulb option. Not convinced it is accurate. Abasin shows very favorable wet bulb next couple...

Not sure you can get away with it now, but even in grad school living in Buffalo I would cross the border to get a couple cases of certain Canadian beers (once in a while, not every week or something). Go across the bridge, grab a couple cases and then drive right back over the bridge to the US...

Abasin, Copper and Keystone have all run small amounts of snowmaking a couple nights ago. More along the lines of system tests than anything given the tiny amount of snow made. That said, at least overnight snowmaking should begin in earnest sometime in the next week given forecasts. There...

Here are some stats of the insanity from Timberline: Oregon Insurance blog post.

Interesting. I was always told: "If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts it'd be christmas every day!"

Actually Horseheads is too far from either for lake effect and only gets like ~35-40" of snow per year. I know that odd fact from going to Grad school at University at Buffalo and race coaching weekends at Holimont for a few years. For everyone's reference, most years Erie freezes enough...

Lake Erie is so shallow, any decent winter is basically going to shut off the lake effect. And any winter that doesn't freeze the lake is so warm that there is likely very little snow that winter anyway. If I recall one of the differences for Say Holiday Valley vs Peak and Peak is that the...

Spiedie meat in the local grocery store. Map of a small portion of the roughly 100 wineries on the Finger Lakes wine trail. Ridiculously nice weekend for October. Reds aging in white oak barrels.

Did not know this about HKD. I went to school and ski raced in the Mid-Atlantic for 4 years with Seven Springs being a regular on the circuit. At the time I felt that Seven Springs and Wisp Maryland had the 2 most impressive snowmaking systems I had ever seen (even betterthan Hunter). Could...

I've been to the Dr. Konstantin Frank winery before. He was famous for getting any grape to grow well in the area which had never worked out before. The winery was/is most famous for rieslings. Plenty of other wines made in the region now of course but still many other regions that try to...

Don't worry in the short term. Current versions of AI are greatly overhyped relative to it's true capabilities. I have seen exactly nothing that is even in the ballpark of heading toward a 'general AI' so far. Right now it is massive burn of $$ and electricity for very advanced heuristics...

I agree that it is a good flick, but one's expectations are automatically off if you expect a standard hollywood "Ski Movie" or a "Sports Movie".

Wow. Got lucky. I've never had a subscription before because I thought that even $30 was far too high. But they ran a 48hr sale of half price somewhere in the middle of summer so I begrudgingly bought one for this season at $15. Might drop it like a hot rock by next summer when they want me to...

Not sure about the boards here, but one of the guys on the Jan cat now has 6 slots per year at Mustang which is crazy. He has them lined up with 2 back to back each time making for 3 full weeks of Mustang per year for him, about a month between each trip to Mustang. There are also many others up...

I have a few plans but also a lot that is still uncertain. I have 2 Mustang trips lined up this year: One in January and one in February. So that should be interesting; to double my odds of either epic skiing or blowing though tons of $$ (crosses fingers and hopes for the former). Should...

What are the blue suitcase icons? The math on that is insane of course. 50% off will help slightly at the margins I would think, but not be a game changer. The only possible significant upside to the changes I saw was for the fence sitters. They can now ski a couple days at "50% off" AND also...

Depends on the trip. When Castle has the goods, you’ll gladly choose to drive over the pass a 2nd or 3rd time no matter where you are staying. Though not a lot of great food options in Pincher Creek that I've found thus far.

Ditto. Unclear, but I would think winds in the area hit all of the peaks in that range. Maybe they get even less traffic with more typical skiers wanting to hit a detach quad and not two old lifts? I actually kinda hope so. Love the S chutes and the lookers right upper pitch/ridge on the...

Not necessarily a shape I want. Just that biological systems rarely behave linearly. I figured it would show either that AMS symptoms in the population either increase rapidly (Steep at first, then flatter); or that it would show low incidence until 14K or so feet then steep curve. Didn't know...

That is surprisingly linear. I would have expected biology/physiology to be a bit less linear.
