1 hour = excellent service BTW one morning in January I chatted with them as they tested Starlink -- the "dish" was set up 20 yards from the ticket window.

Listen up, please. PBJ is kids' food. The same store that sells a jar of peanut butter also sells adult food that you can make great sandwiches with. If you go with shaved roast beef and swiss on sourdough or similar, mix equal parts bleu cheese, avocado, and ranch dressing for your spread...

The reason I was thinking about wax is cuz I do it for friends before we go to Snow Summit or Baldy, but they travel for skiing too and if that paraffin is still there then, chances are I forgot to tell them they need to plan for that themselves LOL.

I love this shot! To drive thru that at 35 mph will seem like you're driving 140 mph. Riding shotgun late at night, the passenger will nap as I drive thru the high desert. The gods smile upon me as we continue into Harvey's blizzard, I gently tap them awake, wait one second, then scream as if...

gear review dps phantom Another complexity I skip is scraping, I figure the snow will do that quick enough. 2 exceptions... Powder days you wanna have your best base for the first run so definitely scrape. Additionally if there's gonna kinda be a "race" for the ideal mid- or upper-mountain...

I use an old clothes iron and paraffin wax from the grocery store. From a wax standpoint California snow is quite different, elsewhere it's best to use actual ski wax. Half my friends have never waxed, I guess the ski shop does it. Where do you stand?

Not anymore, dude, we have TV contestants from the trailer parks of Arkansas out sprucing things up...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-Bmd45BbCE

Excellent. NEVER make eye contact with the parking attendant.

Of all the people on the internet who discuss skiing, only 2* won the $297. The AlpineZone one... https://forums.alpinezone.com/threads/ikon-adventure-assurance-due-by-october-1.142841/#post-1050553 ...and somebody on Facebook. I'ma try to get them to post here so next year me and Tony won't...

Re guessing the most lucrative Adventure Assurance resort last fall... If you left it at the default of "All" you got $14 credit. Blue Mountain was the correct guess, good for $297. (there's a post on AlpineZone from someone from there) All of us with the pass coulda got $297 if we only knew...

As a kid our neighbors visited Grandma >1000 miles away just like we did. My mom and dad broke up the drive so the family could camp two nights along the way. The neighbor mom and dad were memorable, not cuz they drove straight thru, but cuz they tranquilized the four kids for the 24 hour...

Interesting article, thanks! BTW Tony's vaccine tip in another thread helped my LA County senior skier friends.

Thanks! My favorite buffs, folded over to make two layers, is enough material re covering up. But from now on I'll use two at once. Do people do that? For the grocery store I like earstrap-style masks -- to me that's a terrible idea tho during athletics. I think best case requirements would...

Re on/off with masks I humbly recommend a buff, it's easy to cover/uncover on the descent. They're just big and stretchy, so you don't have to grab a specific spot to position it over your nose at full speed once you get near the lift maze or strangers. Even my friends wear regular surgeon-like...

Great pic! On Friday the ocean was a perfect mirror -- a perfect reflection of sky and the occasional cloud. The ships don't reflect of course so it was as if the mirror just had a dozen holes -- the shapes of ships.

I had no idea until last week that you can see the Pacific from a couple spots along the drive home -- sea level is obviously below the LA Basin level, but the ships appear to be floating above due to the shininess of the water in late afternoon.

Oops, I guess I jinxed it...

Great report, all the NFL fans picnicked today... clockwise from top Ravens represent + Saints + Browns + Rams
