That's what we saw much of the week. But it's not good on overcast days like today or last Tuesday, or days that remain cold like Wednesday or what's predicted tomorrow. Another early closure announcement, Bogus Basin March 22.

Washington State is getting the treatment this week that the Sierra got in February. Since Wednesday 40-85 inches snow, roads closed into ski areas Friday and Crystal today. Starting Sunday night rain is predicted to 8,000 feet for a few days next week.:icon-twisted: This week’s storm hit...

Liz, Stefan and I got out Friday. No day since Tuesday have any of our group gotten out before 11AM with the bulletproof conditions when sun time is 1.5 hours earlier than the daylight time that began Sunday. We got up the tram about 11:30 and skied 3 runs out past Path to Paradise, having...

The serious terrain is pretty much off limits under this season’s low tide conditions. Bridger is one of those places extremely liberal in reporting 100% of trails open. Likely the Ridge and perhaps Schlasman’s are not included in trail counts reported to SnoCountry. For any area, if you are...

iPhone weather app shows hottest day a week from today: 96 Glendale, 99 Las Vegas, 101 Death Valley, 75 Big Bear, 64 Mammoth, 61 Alta, 60 Jackson Hole.

Pajarito and Ski Apache in New Mexico are already closed and Santa Fe will close March 22. Snow Valley will close March 15. With all of next week in the 70's it will be interesting to see if any of the other SoCal areas make it past March 22. Bachelor is very limited today with 75mph winds...

I recognize Lone Tree from the first pic above, definitely narrower and more sporting than in most seasons. I'm a bit surprised the Strawberry gondola was running to access it, as the base of Strawberry is low, very sunny and can't have much of a snowpack in a year like this. I note that the...

Over the years I believe sbooker's grousing about airfares is very legit. On various occasions I've scored some good deals to Europe, some great deals to South America and some amazing deals to Asia. Never have I had comparable bargain airfares to the South Pacific, plus I can almost never use...

I skied 25 out of 29 days Feb. 9 - Mar. 9. I’ve never been this consistently tired, so average vertical is way down. Historically a day just skiing groomers might be sufficient to reset a normal energy level and one day off would nearly always work. Most likely explanation is age. Al Solish...

The summit of Hohe Salve (pic below, marginally skiable when were were there in 2017, but not during James' visit) is the only skiing above tree line in the original and largest Ski Welt complex north of the road into Kitzbuhel. On the south side of that road, Westendorf and Kitzbuhel have...

https://www.firsttracksonline.com/boards/threads/yellowstone-club-files-for-bankruptcy.7173/post-55287 That post said there were 370 members in 2010, so one might assume at least twice as many skiers per day/season now vs. then.

Wasn't the Pitztal Glacier on your Indy Pass? In late March 2022 it was still all winter snow after a sustained dry spell at least as long as the current one. And Rifflsee which is on the same ticket had great late morning corn

Probably not 90%, but I'm sure they can't be rented commercially. Guests can be there only when the member is present, and each member gets 100 guest passes per year I read or heard somewhere. But the Yellowstone Club is very active in summer, with onsite golf, fly fishing, horses, and of...

In 2001 NASJA journalists at the Big Sky annual meeting had an opportunity to visit the Yellowstone Club in its formative stage. Most of the ski area had been built and the first 70 members had joined, but none of them had built houses yet. The thread above has additional posts from 2019 with...

There is nothing for me to add here to posts by kingslug and Tseeb. Liz and I were at Alta Sunday with former admin, kingslug and company. Monday Liz and I skied with Adam, Alexa, Ben, Eddie and Chris, but mostly groomers as Alexa was having boot issues. I have been worn down by skiing 25...

Former admin said today was his best day of the season at Alta. This after complaining about the traffic this morning.

Jim Steenburgh was a visiting professor at the university in Innsbruck a few years ago. He is mostly a backcountry skier and relied exclusively on public transit during the months he lived there. When I looked up his URL to post here, I discovered he's in Innsbruck right now! You should...

Yes I think Banff is still a safe bet this spring. Mt. Bachelor is opening the Summit chair today. This is surely its latest opening since it was installed in 1982. Crested Butte's North Face is still closed. Don't be fooled that the lift is running. The only open skiing is the short runs...

The run of consistent Northeast winter weather came to an end this week. However, to the extent there was any rain it must have been modest. The major Vermont areas remain in full operation this weekend with spring conditions.
