Hey snowboard247, the new season is almost here. It may be time to change your"number of days so far this season" to zero??? :bow:

Patrick, trust you made it home OK. I've been reading a bit about BA. Travelers we met while in Chile and Peru extolled the good things about it, but I think we will go through Mendoza if we ever make it back to SA. There's a poll of one of the web sites which indicates that just under 50% of...

Tony, I'm sure we will hear details from Patrick sometime later. I can only imagine how badly he's feeling right now. We were so careful and yet we suffered several minor thefts. He's fortunate he had his backpack with him and at least did not lose passport etc. Also of course he did not...

Patrick, we are so sorry to hear that. I feel sick inside. We had some minor thefts in Chile, but losing everything is horrible. :-(

Tony, excellent TR and photos. This question is for both you and Andrew: Did you have much contact with the Japanese people? How was it just walking in the streets? Were most people friendly and helpful? Did it seem safe even at night? We've always wanted to visit Japan. 8)

Please Patrick, we people who are stuck in the LA heatwave and fires would like to see a report and PICTURES of your currrent adventure. :dead horse:

FWIW, there are some current reports of good snow is the Valle Nevado area: http://www.epicski.com/forum/thread/85455/hola-greetings-from-valle-nevado Patrick, wherever you end up, have a great time and hopefully lots of powder. \:D/

I've been watching the Dillon/Keystone temps and it looks like it has barely reached 70 degrees all summer. If we were to move to that area, we would have to buy some warmer clothes for biking. I think I'd enjoy it, but Mr. skibum likes to have the warmer summer weather of southern CA. If the...

Has Tony posted yet anywhere about his trip? That's what I checked in to look for, but have not found. :-({|=

Hey msp, congratulations on becoming a "New Yawker". The best lobster roll we ever had was in Jimmy's of Savin Rock - pure warm lobster meat in a hot dog bun drenched in butter - heavenly! I understand that since then it has gone down in quality and way up in price. I have read that the...

Thanks for the figures on lift tickets and passes for the weekend, snowboard247. We always wonder how much money Mammoth is making, esp. on a weekday like Tues. or Weds. We thought yesterday was the greatest with few people to "mess up" the snow. We skied Cornice several times when we were...

Today was quite nice at Mammoth. We started about 8 am and the mountain was pretty firm. Only Chairs 1, 3, and 23 were running and we got a parking spot very close to Main Lodge. Went immediately from Chair 1 to 3 and the back of 3 was bullet proof for the first half where it is in the shade...

I can't answer that, though it may have something to do with contracts with the Forest Service. A-Basin does not have as much vertical as the other areas, and it's pure north-facing, so it keeps snow down to the base longer than the other areas. We are staying at Keystone and the lower slopes...

Nice pics, Tony, great subject matter, you need a new camera of course. We've sent digital cameras out for repair and they never seem to work as well after they come back. I like the zipper line pic. We did some skiing back aroud by Chair 5. Do you think that will still be skiable by...

Great photos, Tony. I particularly like the one of Adam dropping into Hangman's. :bow:

Patrick and Tony, It's so funny when you 2 argue about east vs. west. Having skied on both sides, I believe that Patrick is jealous. Once we skied in the west, we had no desire to ski in the east ever again. So Tony, I'm on your side with this one. We're just waiting for the crowds to thin...

What are the dimensions on those . . . uh, those skis??? :-s

Well, I'm here because I'm frustrated. Haven't skied in 2 weeks. It's raining in so Cal so no bike ride today. Don't want to ski locally, my condo at Mammoth is rented (they just got 20" of snow at Mammoth!!!), and the weather has been bad for several days and continues bad for our planned...

Yes, we're going to grab a couple of Denver flights tonight. :-k

We have skied Keystone Sunday and Monday, and I agree with all that you said about it. Sunday pm was extremely crowded with too many people going too fast for the iciness and limited terrain. Today was a little less crowded but still too many people and too firm conditions. Note - Spring...
