In this thread, @Tony Crocker says "Homewood’s views of Lake Tahoe are rivaled only by Heavenly (in background here)". Some of Homewood is too close to Lake so you don't get view of whole Lake. This is friend on Headwall at Palisades with KT22, Alpine and Tahoe in background. Heavenly and...

Lake Tahoe from Crystal Ridge Run at Diamond Peak. Looks like more than a couple miles of the Lake although not all 21x12. Next photo is from their Lakeview Lodge where we attended a couple of their Last Tracks event. Wine tasting, heavy hors d'oeuvres followed by a freshly groomed run. Was...

Better than Tahoe from Homewood, Diamond Peak, Heavenly or even Palisades and Northstar? I had my first two days there last season and enjoyed the skiing. How was your drive there from SLC?

The Secretary of Defense denies this happened so we can never believe anything he says. Many think he should resign. He has a long way to go to catch up with number of lies Trump told in his first term (30K+) and the first 2+ months of his second. Maybe @jamesdeluxe can share...

Mineral Basin opened today after being closed for 23 days. Posted on FB: Mineral Basin is OPEN. Huge thanks to our Mountain Ops crew for their hard work and to all of our guests for your patience. Mineral Basin, Baldy Express and the Peruvian Tunnel are now accessible.

Steamboat, CO March 2, 2025 (Sunday) We had late-ish start due to friend forgetting his jacket at vrbo in Hayden causing ~20 minute delay and then we had to park at Meadows lot and shuttle. Then we had to go into ticket office as friend who I’d sent Friends and Family link for 35% off if bought...

According to Google maps, my family's cabin is 3 min drive to Heavenly's Stateline gondola parking garage (where you always have to pay or a 16 minute walk). Due to dispute over whether Heavenly should be annexed so City of South Lake Tahoe collects some of the sales and other taxes paid by...

I'm only at 88 after adding Steamboat and Copper Mountain last month. Those are my first new CO areas since I skied A-Basin and Beaver Creek in 2008.

Today's Snowbird website https://www.snowbird.com/the-mountain/mountain-report/current-conditions-weather includes: "Conditions permitting, Snowbird will be spinning 11 lifts today. Due to recent weather conditions at the top of the Mineral Basin chairlift, work on replacing the gear hub has...

Monday I drove 65 miles each way to 2nd cousin's house in Tracy to catch ride to service for another 2nd cousin in Chico and hit 325K. Note that I am 10K overdue for my 4th timing belt (~$1000 job that my mechanic said he thinks I'm OK holding off for another 5K miles). On my trip to CO and UT...

Avalanche hit cars near Snowbird.

Edit previous post to cleanup a typo or two and add "MANY FACESHOTS" to 'Snow was deep' skiing Little Cloud. I'd thought about skiing a couple of runs on Sat 3/15, but did not. It was enough to get all our stuff to SUV and make most of the ~800 mile drive home. I purposely had left a suitcase...

It was a great day to be staying across the street from Snowbird. We only wished the Interlodge ended well before the road opened. There was a lot of bombing beginning about 5 AM that we could feel a little and hear a lot. I saw buses about 9 AM which meant that road closure ended about 845. I...

Beers I took to pool/hot tub my first afternoon at Iron Blosam and some of view of Snowbird from our balcony. Both were very good but were too much for so early in evening. Since then, I've been taking one beer and one water.

Some photos of @Tony Crocker in mid-Cirque on Tuesday This is not Tony Crocker. I tried to catch him when he was getting close to me, but mostly missed and caught someone else. I was very lucky catching up with group after using points to stay at Springville Best Western Monday night. I...

Hoping road opens well after 8:30. Just heard some blasting that sounded like it was coming from behind Iron Blosam. We need to do the long drive home on Saturday as our dog will be dropped off by our son, after staying with his friends for two weeks, hopefully in very late afternoon. I'm...

Latest news I could find about Mineral Basin. No updates found on Snowbird's website although did find they plan to replace it and Gadzoom with six-packs but no date given.

My wife has Southwest credit card and a lot of points from using it and I have a few point. I have Alaska VISA and we both have a lot of points from using annual $99 companion fares, mostly to Mexico where $99 ends up being $250 due to International fees. Alaska lets everyone on booking made...

Crowds not bad. Looked like the Town Park may have filled, or gotten very close to it, but they have dirt overflow that did not get used. The only lines I experienced were ~10 minutes on Cirque Poma that I rode early and line never went down, and about that long for unmanaged singles line on...

Snowmass, Sunday March 9 We parked in Town Park (former Rodeo lot) and were quickly shuttled to Snowmass. We loaded Village Express not much after 9 and skied Sunnyside to Big Burn that went up. We skied Sneaky’s and stopped for photo where run makes 90 degree turn. I next went into Campground...
