I'll be there too from March 23 through March 29, skiing with my daughter. Conditions still looking good and, maybe, quite a bit (over 2 feet) of new snow in the next week or so.

Frankly, I wouldn't count on the chaos subsiding in three weeks. Can you re-route the flights somewhere else to get to Europe?

Query: If you're on a ski lift when a lighting bolt hits close by, do you drop your ski pole to the ground? I'm not holding on to two lighting rods in my hands if there is lighting close by.

Apparently, both JH and Targhee closed their lifts yesterday, for a while, because of thunder and lightening in the area. How often does that happen in February in the Tetons? Crazy warm Winter out west. It will be interesting to see if they will break weather records for high temps over the...

I live in New England. We still use oil-based hot air furnace with duct work through out the house. It's an old house, built in the 1780's, so the heating system had to be added to the existing structure at some point. It's sort of crazy because there is duct work in the basement that gives the...

What a great accomplishment!

That's about $40, USD, right?

Nice, yea, my daughter are flying into Calgary too on Sunday, March 22 (around mid-day) and then staying in Banff for a week, at the Elk and Avenue Hotel on Banff Ave. We're also renting a car for the week.

No doubt, Tony, some of the best snow conditions throughout almost all of the Northeast (even where I live in southern/middle New England) in the past 10 years or so. The combination of sustained cold weather - good for snow making - and several smaller snowstorms and one large snow storm, with...

My daughter and I have now booked out Banff trip to March 22 to March 29 of this year. Looking forward to some real skiing!

LOL, Tony, you would think. I mean, my daughter grew up her entire life in New England with cold winters, spent four years in college in Minnesota, and has lived for the past 6 years or so in Montreal BUT she doesn't really like cold weather and doesn't do that well in really cold temps - I know...

Well, I just got some disappointing news. My daughter, with whom I was going to do a father/daughter ski trip to Banff in late February of this year (2026), just called to say she needs emergency surgery (relatively minor), so we have to postpone our ski trip to either late March/early April of...

Always hard to know what the real facts were just based upon the pleadings of the lawyers. Obviously, the lawyers representing the plaintiff here try to present a fact situation and case most favorable to their client. I wonder if the guides are covered through the company's insurance policy. I...

These photos look a little like my back yard in western Massachusetts!

Are the seats heated??

Heck, I pulled the metal edges off of my skis. We don't need no stinking metal edges, when you're getting snow every three days.

I think the explanation from Marz copied below is what happened to Brodie. I've also linked a longer history of Brodie Mountain that explains the purchase of Brodie by Jiminy Peak. Obviously, in retrospect, it probably didn't make sense (I don't know if the Fairbanks got their purchase price...

Brodie had been owned by the Kelly family. St. Patrick's Day was always a big party at Brodie. Yea, they turned the land into a 9-hole (I think) golf course and it has been recently sold to someone who is going to create a "glamping" site there. I never quite understood why Jiminy bought Brodie.

Marz: One of the best days I've ever had skiing in the Northeast (condition-wise) was about 30 years ago at Jiminy Peak. I went up for a day (it's about a 50-minute drive for me) and, although I don't think it was predicted by the weather forecasters, there were heavy snow squalls all during...

Sorry! I'm not sure it's an official nickname but what I have called Butternut over the years.
