I can think of nothing worse than hauling stuff back here now. I've now sourced the actual boots I should have been given 3 years ago! Salomon XWave 8 I think they are. Will do my limited likely Scottish adventures for now :-D

It had been something in the region of 15 years or more since I last skied in Scotland when I was at university and it could be 20 years since I last skied at the Lecht. After coming home from Montana in April I landed a staff job at the company I work for meaning I had another 1/2 years holiday...

It seems strange that a change in speed would result in a side to side swing to that extent. Also strange that if it was as bad as that in terms of slowing/speeding that it wasn't damn obvious to the resort that the lift had something technically wrong with it.

I didn't notice Tony's link earlier, this part made me laugh:- Eh, I've been there..... :lol:

Coldsmoke beat me to a reply. I've been to Great Divide on several occasions. First time on my first 2002 tour around WA/ID/MT which whetted my appetite for organizing my on trips, skiing all over the USA and of course MT. I can't really disagree with much of what Coldsmoke has said although...

Discovery, with the exception of the Silver Chief lift, is located on Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and from what I gather its normal operating permit is up to the first Sunday in April. In the last 2 seasons our season has been extended to the 2nd Sunday in the month and my understanding...

As a mere 41yo I'm a few years away from being able to comment as such for myself on the subject. My dad who turned 71 in January skied right up to his late 60's but a 2 week trip to Colorado every year led to boredom. He wont travel by himself, I have my own big trip which is awkward to...

Well my annual trip is over for another year so thought I would start the thread. Discovery - 35 Non Ski Days - 4(1 day in 4/6 weekends in Montana) Almost right up to my arrival the skiing on Limelight had at best been sketchy. A series of weather events meant they struggled to get a settled...

Snowbird

Looks like an incredible weekend. Snowing currently and forecast to be snowy/cold all week up at Discovery for my arrival on Wednesday evening. Currently reading about 400 people who ducked a rope at Snowbird and got caught at the bottom of Mineral Basin. Incredible if true!

Looks fantastic out there this year!

Has there been much snow in Utah this year in mid January? :stir:

Thanks for posting, it brought back great memories of a ski tour myself and my Welsh mate Mike made 10 or so years back.

I check periodically throughout the year and tend to find that for my route its generally lots of peaks and troughs but never much cheaper than what I've paid for. I try to avoid ever paying £600 as a maximum. Booking early also allows me to pick my seat of choice to allow me to stretch out my...

Yeah, KLM to AMS and generally Delta operate the rest. I have other options such as BA to Heathrow or Lufthansa to Frankfurt but KLM have 5 scheduled flights a day so chances are if things go wrong I have 1/2 a chance of getting to Montana within a day or two. It's also a lot more than 19.5...

As ever I started looking for flights when my return flight in 2017 was within 11 months. On the day the UK voted to leave the EU I scored a cracking deal, £518rtn on the route I like ABZ-AMS-MSP-BZN so I snapped it up. That's as cheap a deal as I've seen in many years but as luck would have it...

I've only skimmed through but some interesting bits even for me when it discusses countries that I'd never heard of having ski resorts.

Discovery - 33 days Lookout Pass - 2 days Non Ski Days - 3 days This was a somewhat strange year for me in that it was spent almost entirely at Discovery. This in part was due to Discovery extending their season by a week after I had booked my flights meaning I flew home the day after closing...

Great pictures, looks like fun times! Do I need to upload my pictures to a hosting site and link to them to do a report like that?

6-10" tomorrow 1 tonight and 1-3" tomorrow night. After missing last week's 14" Day I might just get my deserts. Today I skied Limelight in chalky easy edge after 2 days of 60 degrees in town. I saw 1 snowboarder and 1 patroller.
