Latest news I could find about Mineral Basin. No updates found on Snowbird's website although did find they plan to replace it and Gadzoom with six-packs but no date given.

My wife has Southwest credit card and a lot of points from using it and I have a few point. I have Alaska VISA and we both have a lot of points from using annual $99 companion fares, mostly to Mexico where $99 ends up being $250 due to International fees. Alaska lets everyone on booking made...

Crowds not bad. Looked like the Town Park may have filled, or gotten very close to it, but they have dirt overflow that did not get used. The only lines I experienced were ~10 minutes on Cirque Poma that I rode early and line never went down, and about that long for unmanaged singles line on...

Snowmass, Sunday March 9 We parked in Town Park (former Rodeo lot) and were quickly shuttled to Snowmass. We loaded Village Express not much after 9 and skied Sunnyside to Big Burn that went up. We skied Sneaky’s and stopped for photo where run makes 90 degree turn. I next went into Campground...

You can discount opinion Maddow (who my Mom calls "that horrible woman") has of Trump's first and second term, but what do you think of her claim in the link I posted "The Washington Post published a memorable report on the number of false or misleading claims he’d made during his first term...

Tomorrow is Snowmass, then driving to Moab. Today I took shuttle to Highlands, caught 2nd chair and hiked the Bowl for probably my last time. My wife stayed at Buttermilk. We had light traffic from Basalt to Buttermilk and found a space in shuttle part of the parking lot. Lucia had late start...

Friday, March 7 Buttermilk Our drive from Copper to Glenwood Springs was uneventful although left turns on main road once in town required long waits due to heavy traffic coming down the valley. We had a very good dinner at top-rated tripadvisor restaurant along the river. I was not sure where...

Not sure when I'll have time to write-up Tuesday (9" new but hard surface underneath often found) and Wednesday (7" and getting better). Thursday with another 2" new was the best day. Lucia and I skied out of Lodge at Copper where we had stayed 3 nights to nearby American Flyer lift that we...

Monday, March 3 - my first day ever here although I've driven past it a few times. Leaving Steamboat on Sun, we drove about an hour to Kremmling we were spent night. Their brewery/distillery has stopped distilling and had limited beers on tap. Friend and I each had Peruvian chicken potato soup...

State of the Union speech fact checking from MSNBC https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-speech-fact-check-joint-address-congress-lies-rcna194848 includes “The problem is made worse by the apparent fact that he felt like he had to lie — likely aware of the unavoidable fact...

British Airways flies one roundtrip SFO-LHR daily using a 380 and another using a 777. We flew the former on our way there last Sept and the latter on our return. I remember seeing stairs in the rear going to the upstairs on the 380, but they had a chain and a sign, so I did not go up them. We...

Since I don't have the luxury of spending months within 10 minutes of skiing and never get enough, I make the most of my days. I know this is a UT thread, but don't have time for full report from Sat. at Steamboat where it may be extra crowded due to Winter Wondergrass festival (that also...

Thanks. Taken with good timing of guy's turns using last year's iPhone SE that does not have a zoom lens, then cropped.

Great beer from Paso Robles. Enough blood orange to see it and taste it unlike some other beers I've had that seem like they barely taste of stale fruit. Photo taken at rest stop halfway across NV last Wednesday. Beer was $3.29 at Gold Ranch gas station that is barely into NV.

Not enough energy or time to do usual writeup of Friday at Deer Valley using East Village entrance. All groomers except Daly Bowl and Centennial off Lady Morgan and I got out of that and skied Hillside. Spent some time on Moutaineer, Carpenter and even skied down and rode Jordanelle gondola...

I think less than half winter snow, but I didn’t ski upper lifts at Alta.

After almost 4 hour drive that included some traffic leaving San Jose and getting into and through Sacramento, I skied Palisades 1015-3. I parked close to and rode Red Dog skiing Lakeview run then came up slow Resort chair and skied easiest route to Wa She Shu. There was a race course starting...

Did you run into Alta's power failure? I was going to go to Brighton, but decided Mineral Basin and more variety of exposures at Alta and Snowbird would be better and I have 7 Altabird days and will only use 4 in two weeks plus my phone said it was five minutes closer so I parked on Bypass Road...

What's the big deal? In a rare find for the West Coast, flights from San Francisco to Zurich, Switzerland, are now $359 roundtrip. To take advantage of this WOW fare on American Airlines, you'll have to act fast. It's only available for March travel but, you'll save over $440 on regular prices...

Every state has their own rules. For California, I found at https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/california-driver-handbook/alcohol-and-drugs/ "It is illegal for you to drive if you have a BAC of: 0.08% or higher if you are over 21 years old. 0.01% or higher if you are under 21 years old...
