Correct.

Return, yes if I go. Seeing Orthopaedic surgeon in 2 weeks and we'll see after that. The Indoor skiing would be first time this season and only second for me.

Tony has skied more Feb, Mar and May days than I have. Also skied dates more July and August. 438, 387, 391, 222, 107, 53, 32, 34, 60 Total days: 2009 since 1981-82 Dates: 288 Missing dates per month: Tony vs Patrick Dec-Apr : 0 vs 0 May : 0 vs 2 (May 30-31* - I got injured on May 29. These 2...

Wish I was there to close out the historical season.

Definitely looks like the end is near for Mammoth Endless Winter. They announced yesterday that August 6th will be the closing day which is one week short of North America’s only 4 season ski area own closing day.

As mentioned, April 2023 was my biggest month ever with 23 days. Previous record was 21 days in February 2016 and January 2019. This April trip turned out to include 20 days out of 21. Forced day off on Easter Monday due to Panorama had just closed for the season and Rogers' Pass was closed on...

If that is the case, Tony should stop mentioning my ski season being very molehill oriented. Total days on « molehills » in the last 42 seasons would be approximately 10 for over 2000+ ski days. Almost all of these when my kids were toddlers.

Never been to Magic and my history with Saddleback consist of only one trip last season. Smuggs has been at risk numerous times. Replacing Madonna 1 with a high capacity lift was talked about, at one point there was talk of upgrading the Sterling lift with a 6-pack? Now there was talk of...

MRG Coop : $1500/share when they started the Coop if I remember correctly. That being said, people became shareholder not for making money, but purchase the ski area from the owner Betsy Pratt and try to preserve the classic New England ski area. These gems were all over the place, but slowly...

That is the first thing I thought when I saw this. Maybe if they would have kept an upper lift, but I never saw Palisades even close to that state when I skied around July 1 in 2017 and 2019.

11 less than 500' since I've been 16 (1981). 24 which included tiny ones when I was a toddler. 30 less than 700' since I've been 16 (1981). 43... since aged 2. 38 less than 1000' since I've been 16. 51... since aged 2. 53 less than 1200' since I've been 16. 69... since aged 2. 500ft or less ...

The 2016 trip was an overview of the country; I was hoping to return with my Ikon pass the only time I had an ikon in 2019-20 then the pandemic hit. 2022-23 being the 2nd time I had an Ikon pass, NZ was once again on radar, unfortunately with my elbow injury, a big trip is unlikely in the short...

No, much later. 1997 When I stayed one week at Val Thorens in 2003, Orelle was pretty recent (just found the date). The fact it was in a total different valley and department was a big thing. Just don’t end up there at the end of the day before that cab ride will cost you a fortune.

I remember a friend telling me that it was highest village in Europe. He was telling me that they used to offer summer liftserved skiing on the glacier above. Base altitude is also at 2300m vs 1850m. As mentioned in one of my previous replies about Les Menuires being a separate area: Les...

The difference also is that I’ve return to some areas in the Alps and the Western more often than in the Southern Hemisphere. You can also fit many Southern Hemisphere areas in one French resort. My skiing is not always driven by new areas, for example when I stayed 4 days in SLC I preferred...

Probably. Is 22 a subset of 40?

I counted Les Menuires as a separate area. At the time that I skied it, you could buy a Les Menuires only lift ticket and I’m pretty sure the area was entirely separate from the other resorts at one point. The logic applies to Brevent and Flegere. Where things are more complicated is around...

A bit of a mixed bag of cases (on merged or closed areas). Some of them were one lift variety while other had multi lifts. Of top of mind, ski areas skied that would merge or taken over: Moonlight Basin > Big Sky MT Blackcomb > Whistler BC Mt Faustin > Mt Blanc QC One great example that I...

I have no clear plans for the next months under than a few concerts lined up. Skiing? We’ll see? I would be surprised if I would return to California unless I can combine with a concert that I’d really like to see with no dates in the East. That being said, Neil Young is touring the West coast...
