In Santa Clara County, CA where I live "Masks are required for patients, visitors, and staff in patient care areas of health care delivery facilities in Santa Clara County from November 1 through March 31 of each year."

When we flew SFO-LHR-Edinburgh on British Airways in Sept. it took a long time to get our carry-ons through security at Heathrow as they were a lot pickier than in US. We had to go through security even though I don't think we changed terminals. And any gels they found in carryon had to go into...

Tripadvisor has Tuna Azul as no. 3 of 1,772 restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. I couldn't find description of different Michelada's at https://restaurantguru.com/Tuna-Azul-Puerto-Vallarta/menu which has a lot of their menu. We had the Montaditos Mango Habanero on our first visit along with...

Two days in a row we had shrimp tacos. First were at small place across street from where we stay. I had to eat some of the shrimp before I could fold the tortilla. My wife had fish topped with a sauce that included shrimp (not small ones) that she thought was great. Owner cooked for us. The...

More of a beer report than a trip report...but not just beer photos. First are the beers on flight from San Diego to PVR. Stewardess comped one so two beers with 20% off for using Alaska VISA cost $6.80 Sunset the first night from balcony where we've stayed eight times. On last previous trips...

I was referencing the "resist reality" part of close of article @jamesdeluxe linked and am not disputing that part of why fires near LA have been so destructive for so long this year is the lack of rainfall. But the other part is the strong and long-lasting winds a couple of weeks into Winter...

I liked the ending of what @jamesdeluxe shared. "In crises like this, you can play politics, point fingers and resist reality, or you can choose safety. Australians chose the latter. We don’t regret it." I don't see that happening in the US. Don't we again have a President who does not believe...

Temps in Puerto Vallarta where I’m spending this week have been very pleasant. A little warm so you want to be on shady side of street when walking between 11 and 3 or 4, but high of 80-81 with breeze off the ocean is OK with me.

Park City giving credits towards next year's passes including Epic Day Passes for those who suffered skiing during Park City patrol strike. The credits are a little confusing. FAQ at https://www.parkcitymountain.com/Plan-Your-Trip/Lift-Access/Park-City-Mountain-Holiday-Credits From FAQ: "Pass...

Not sure how much I should share, but friends' Dad who passed two years ago at 92 (lived alone and looked much younger) should have stopped driving sooner than he did. He had an accident, someone was injured and got insurance policy limit plus this property if he wants it. Their Mom had passed...

I made it to the Sierra foothills Sunday/Monday to help longtime family friends do more cleanup on their late parents' home at 2700' a couple of miles before Foresthill, CA. House is 3500 sq. ft. on 4.4 acres with huge shop and garage with mother-in-law unit. Due to a lawsuit it needs to go on...

Did you use skins? Mustang's Small Groups, Steep Chutes webpage says "Skiers and boarders will, on occasion, use climbing skins for a short or medium length tour to access a run’s entrance." Regrouping "every 10-15 turns at times" does seem excessive with only 6 skiers in the cat. The number of...

Some deals will probably go away or price will go up before I get to 70. That happens often to those of us born in the exact middle year of the Baby Boom. The Lifetime Senior National Parks Pass went from $10 to $80 not much less than 10 days before I qualified for it. My Mom bought it for me as...

If anyone wants to donate through Red Cross for LA fires, you can use https://www.redcross.org/donate/cm/kcal-pub.html/ - I did.

I confirmed with Mustang today that my ski days will rollback to February 21-23 in 2026 (pickup 30 miles W of Revelstoke at 3 pm on February 20). That makes it possible for me to be with my wife on Valentine's Day which I could not do in 2023 when ski dates were February 18-20 and I skied two...

Just heard on CNN that fire damage cost may be $20B. And some homeowners were recently dropped from insurance and had not been able to replace it.

Gathering is March 2-7. I'm not sure if I've ever done the whole week. Will PM you my plans which are also in this thread. Would be great to ski with you as I think I've only seen you in passing on Alta's rope tow and maybe when you were coming out of Corbett's. Updated, but still TENTATIVE...

I saw KIrkwood had 120 mph gust at 545 AM today then friend sent this.

2003 Honda Pilot that I bought new hit 320K about 35 miles before I got home, but I did not get photo. I spent 4 nights a mile from Heavenly and did not ski there once. Heavenly got 4" new yesterday, but more than half their lifts are closed/held today due to wind. Going to Kirkwood on way up...
