Interesting. I've never seen them do that either (closing Goldrush and still being open). It's also interesting that that is the direction for Telescope Peak. It would seem to be further east (right) to me, but it could just be the angle and my lack of memory the direction East faces. I agree...

Nice report. I have also never done the back side either, as tonyc says, it does indeed always look hammered. We're hoping to head over next week, but both the wife and I got the Big C... recovering now, but will depend on energy levels. As far as beer, hope you like IPA's, Sbooker! This is...

I was just reading that chair 10 broke down yesterday, I think... and may be down for a week or more. Sure seems like a lot of lift problems this year, or maybe my Facebook feed is just focusing on it more. Whitefish, whitewater, telluride to name a few with all kinds of problems this year. I...

It sure did up here in the PNW. Most of the action obviously stayed south of us. Quite a few very small storms this past month on top of a solid base, so not too many complaints on the overall conditions. Long range continues to show relatively dry weather for a good chunk of the month. The SW...

hmmm... interesting, because North used to be where the tubing area was when I worked up there. I was under the impression they moved it because it would become such a shit show on weekend up there, and getting up to Table Mtn (North) was a challenge due to traffic, and ocassionaly weather. East...

They looked in real bad shape after all those rain events. Interesting that lot is paid only now, but not surprised. Are there any free parking lots for them now, or do people still park along the highway like they used to? Any idea what happened to Mt. High North? Does it still operate if...

Yeah, you can get to the Alps quicker.... but once there, you probably don't have a free place to stay with an outstanding host and ski partner. ;P

As Tony said, you won't probably won't get bored, especially with any new snow. I would definitely try and throw a day at Bogus in there... just make sure it's not a weekend. All 3 are fun ski areas IMO, and are are quite different in terms of terrain/vibe, etc. We are having a great start to...

Is there any reference to Mammoth at Bear/Summit, or is it mostly just in the background as owners of those ski areas?

Beautiful area, and I also wish them well, but yeah.. gonna be tough with limited snowfall and vert. Relying on beginner level skiers to sustain it is a gamble in itself.

I don't know how people can be on a plane that long, as I get antsy after about 2-3 hrs. I know at some point I'm going to have to suck it up if I want to see other parts of the world, though. I actually don't have that much interest in skiing overseas, but would love to visit some areas of...

We've had below avg snowfall in the west-central part of Idaho the last two winters, which were both weak to moderate La Nina's. While ENSO is important, IMO more weight should be given to the Pacific Oscillations, like the Madden-Julian and N. Pacific... especially in years where La Nina is not...

what were temps up there? I saw a photo of Berthoud Pass today with some white. It's always tough to know this time of year if its hail, graupel or snow. My guess is graupel... which would still be considered winter like precip.

So weird, I was driving by that area the other day on my way back to ID, and was wondering what the heck that "new" ski area was. In my quick search online, I couldn't find anything about it. I agree, it looked very similar terrain-wise as SnowBasin... (I kept looking back and forth at the two...

I don't keep track of my days riding, but my best guess summary is as follows. Brundage, ID 20 Tamarack, ID 5 Mt Bachelor, OR: 2 Mt Hood Meadows, OR: 1 Timberline, OR: 1 Sun Valley, ID: 4 (Almost) 1 at Mammoth :p It wasn't a good year for powder in these parts with the exception of a couple...

I think if you are positive on the required test before flying back to the US (asymptomatic or not), you cannot come back for ~10 days (At least, that's what happened to a nephew traveling from Iceland to LA ~3 weeks ago). He flew to Canada instead, (which is weird on several fronts) and...

also factored in was the $100 for a couple lifts (summit didn't open until ~11 AM ) for probably 1-2 hrs max of variable conditions was not a hard choice. I wish they'd try and keep NW open longer, but I know the lower runouts to that lift are relatively flat and can probably be a challenge to...

nice report. damn, that's some dirty snow. Indeed crazy how they put so much effort into moving snow around to stay open some years. I was passing through Bend about 10 days ago and was hoping to ride Bachelor (they've had an incredible spring) unfortunately, the day was there was the back end...

Nice report. I'd never heard of Kaslo before, looks like a beautiful town. It's a little odd there's are all those cat/heli ski operations along that road, but not a lift served ski area nearby. Edit: Well, I guess Whitewater is 1:20 away. Plus, I also just found this proposed resort near of...

I have a very well traveled skier friend that loves Pow mow, and goes every year. I went there with her about 10 yrs ago, and don't get the love for the place for all the reasons EMSC mentioned. Sure, on powder days there's lots of terrain to explore, but getting around and the poor lift layout...
