The place I always made sure to hit in Revy was Seoul Street for some good Korean food. Assuming I get back there someday, I'll have to try Paramjit as I do like Indian, Thai and also German foods...

Just updating this post relative to one of the Meribel lifts being heavily damaged by an avalanche as part of the big storm cycles in Europe the past couple weeks. https://snowbrains.com/ski-lift-at-frances-les-3-vallees-hit-by-avalanche-will-remain-closed-for-rest-of-season/ My group skied...

Agreed. Either that, or pull out that credit card and find the last overpriced room up canyon so you start at lift opening no matter if the canyon itself is under avi control lockdown or not. Though I can't imagine all that many days per season qualify for that level of spend, even at Alta/Bird.

American Flyer is possibly the worst lift in Colorado for the possibility of falling IMHO. Shockingly it is only a few years old, but it is a very high-speed 6 pack bubble with the enormous sofa style seating. The 'hangers'/chairs are made with a slippery material and almost all of the chairs...

Love the kids playground right next to the base. Perfect place for kids to learn and beer league racing at night.

No refunds are ever given by Ikon that I'm aware of. You can buy pass insurance that would pay you cash back. However Ikon, in 'special circumstances' - no idea what their list of situations or criteria are exactly - will allow you to defer your pass to next season. Which I was able to do for...

Nope. Just a rehash of info from other sources that has been published earlier (in the past ~2-3 weeks).

Bindings are never a problem, until they are. Glad you were able to ID the issue on-hill before a hard crash. My son had issues with brand new Look Pivot bindings earlier this year. Heal piece was basically defective and had to be replaced. Not good for a 2 month old binding that is explicitly...

The person who booked the seat (At Mustang anyway). Mustang does give deals, but they are pretty small and only at the last minute (say $200 or $400 per day discount), but only when you basically have to be there within a handful of days from the offer. So basically a good deal for Kelowna or...

It used to be higher on the snowmaking priority list when Heavenly used to have the pro mogul tour come to town (and broadcast on television) each year. No idea when that stopped being a thing for them. Sure looks very sad in its current state of coverage though.

No way Erie is giving much if any in the way of traditional lake effect. That lake does have a past history (rare number of years, but occasionally happens) of getting several feet of snow on top of the ice which in the right type of heavy wind then blows inland for nearly the equivalent of lake...

Thought I would put the current map in the thread as a potential low point of snow %'s in the western US. It is finally supposed to snow at least some (Colo), or pretty decently (tahoe) over the next couple of weeks. So it will be interesting to use this as a comparison to see how many water...

Humorous comment IMO on lift systems. Certainly an example where they are used to the local towns providing significant $$ toward the ski operators for capital projects vs lift ticket only funded lifts in the US by exclusively private operators. Certainly a little like our various governments in...

So basically a cross between a backcountry ski and a really long snowshoe. Never heard of them before. Perfect place and season for such winter tools though. Also perfect to get out there before the big weekend cold snap!

More town of Ned news on acquisition. Some humorous quotes by the "303" group that was supposed to be helping guide the town. https://coloradosun.com/2026/02/06/303-ski-nederland-eldora/ And in other news, 3 more snowmaking trails have opened (Wolf Tongue, Aplenhorn, Powderhorn). I know they...

Interestingly enough I'd never seen a cardiologist (nor been recommended to see one) until the actual heart attack. Probably don't need to think about it immediately since they removed the plaque and put in the stents. But I would agree that over time it'll be something I probably will need to...

Vail finally opened part of the back bowls. ~1100 acres or so. Going to be wet slop and re-frozen this weekend though in the warm temps until late next week when snow is finally in the forecast again. https://www.denverpost.com/2026/02/05/vail-back-bowls-open-2026/

Never been to a Wawa, but that phrase is so very Pennsylvania. No where else but PA(-ish) can you get a 'hoagie'.

:popcorn::popcorn:

Yes, but how did he get there? Chair 9 is closed; yet I see several tracks on that face. All patrollers maybe? Nope, they sure haven't. But they are talking about a new lift on the opposite mountain face from the t-bar. Though hard to tell if it will ever get built as it is in Phase 2 in the...
