Exactly as Staley said - to keep folks from dying in an avi. The 5 lodges at Alta are all situated in avi zone shadows, but the travel between them and most of the parking is fully exposed. It's invoked whenever conditions warrant, the most frequent being in the mornings after a storm for a few...

Really - so you can't go anywhere, not even to see a next door neighbour? Why/when is it invoked? Is it to keep people off the roads so they can be cleared? Kinda sounds like House Arrest. What happens if there is an emergency - like a fire?

BTW...What does "interlodge" mean?

Looks great, big and best of all empty.

Bermuda Triangle indeed...We do have two local ski hills...Boler Mountain (about 110' of sreaming vert) which is on the west side of London and about 30m minutes drive from home. We used to live 5 minutes from there and it was an OK place for the kids to take their first turns. A top to bottom...

You're Most welcome, well as Anthony says it is an additional 4 hrs as I am near London ON and Tremblant is about 9 with stops. 13 would be about critical mass for everyone and blows a day on both ends. Not sure the females in the family would enjoy the travel, me and the lads no problem if is...

Great series of trip reports Mr. Deluxe, very detailed and informative. I have been thinking about visiting the Charlevoix region and now I think I will do some planning for family trip next winter. From where we are in S. Ontario it is a long haul, and at least 3-4 hours farther than Tremblant...

...... now if I could figure out how to resize my pics I could post them...marc???? Open the picture with Microsoft Office Picture Manager...click on Edit Pictures...your options will appear on the right side bar...take it from there and save your resized images...Shanks

That's exactly what I have been sayin' :-s

Very cool video with interesting camera angles and a smokin' track - nice work. I will add links to my own freshly cut vids here soon (if that is OK) as I just got back from Red Mountain B.C. where I was able to squeeze in a couple of days after business/olympic visit to the Tacoma WA and...

Awesome T/R PDQ and great pictures, you make Powder Mountain sound like a must visit place. How does it compare to the other SLC area resorts for snow, exposure etc. Hey, if that "Buffalo Burger" was truly made from Bison, you will know it for sure this morning, very rich meat that...but I digress.

I here ya Patrick, truth is always the first casualty of a totalitarian regime. But I think Admin's reference was Trigger not Tiger...equine big not feline big if you know what I mean, maybe an apt nickname would be Tripod n'est pas? :-s

And we all know that Canadians don't lie...we are much too polite

I have never been to Big White...some of my Interior B.C. skiing and riding friends refer to it as Big Flat. Anthony, what do you think of the pitches? I guess it might be tough to accurately give an opinon if you have not been to the top. That is the one detractor of the B.C. interior - poor...

Sad news from Revelstoke http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/01/29/bc-revelstoke-ski-deaths.html#socialcomments It would appear that the pursuit of a fresh line may be the the root of this tragedy see news clip video as well...

Very interesting bit of news that...one of my kids was offered an opportunity to work there this summer.

Sorry Admin, but I must call :bs: on that one...Repair of an injury such as an ACL or MCL is not considered elective surgery. So the wait, if any would be minimal. Just face it...we have a medical system that is the envy of all who are without one. Thank the Lord for Tommy Douglas! Who, buy the...

Hey Socal, that really sucks about your accident...I agree totally with Rob about going after the guy who caused the calamity, but not the resort. If I were you, I'd sue the nuts off the guy. I trust that you know his identity?...and can, with the help of witnesses, prove negligence. With or...

So?...what is the news? I hope the lad is OK and home safe with your Skis & Truck intact...is he still breathing?

Awesome Post Dude! almost like being there...thanks Man
