Nice stuff Tony. Skied there a good few times and will probably be back for a day in March. It is definately a nice place and worth a visit and so easy to get to. It should be noted however that wind closes the mountain quite a bit and you should head to Lookout Pass on I-90 on the...

$850 for a jacket! The best piece of business I have ever had was my $20 jacket from the Nike store in Silverthorne, CO in 2005. A thin waterproof layer it has yet to let me down in any conditions and has 100+ days in. You can shove battery packs and $850!

I've spent a lot of time at Powder Mountain. It is a massive area, there are more than enough groomers to keep anyone happy if they are into that and it is deserted. The general complaint would be that it is a little on the flat side and that would be particularly true of much of the groomed...

Thanks for sharing and welcome to the site. We need more European guys to keep all these blinking Americans and Canadians in check :-D I liked the video, looks like you had great conditions at Engelberg. I look after guys in Kongsberg, Vigra and Tonsberg and hope to make a trip this winter...

Nice stuff coldsmoke, I guess a good dump of heavier snow helps after the start these places have had. Save the lightest pow for the March slayers. Tony, I can't really comment on Missoula at the weekends with all that much certainty. I skied there a Friday a couple years back by early PM the...

Revelstoke and kicking Horse are on my wish list for future years having only skied Whitetooth back in the day. I'm genuinely surprised from my (mis)perception I assumed Revelstoke would be relatively deserted.

Montana and Idaho looking very good this weekend. Coldsmoke, have you made any turns?

I'm not nervous about March at all, it is always slow and steady with very few dumps over 6-12" and although its not as though I can pick and choose like coldsmoke I almost always get the goods in March. This year they are open until April 8th.

I'd not say they were far off an average beginning to a season at Disco but then again I don't keep Tony's level of figures. Discovery in my experience never gets 200" a season, last season was epic yet they got from memory about 160" and the steep backside needs decent coverage before it can...

You actually ski? Well I learned something new today.

I plan my trip for March for a variety of reasons. Longer days, normally greater snowpack, cost etc etc. I've been coming to the USA every year since 2000 always March/April. The 2nd year the first week was at Fernie which had a dreadful season up until the week we arrived and it snowed almost...

Montana is looking pretty good at the minute in comparison to these horror stories! Discovery is now 75% open. 55" YTD is just fine and looking like a good March for me. Big Mountain, Schweitzer, Lookout Pass, Red Mountain and Sliver Mountain all looking good too.

It sums up life in the UK that a mother would give a toss about an iPhone app in a supermarket. Woopy doo and if someone in this country at age 12 has not heard it never mind said it a hundred times I'd be surprised. As for the original footage I have to say my only immediate thought was that...

No, it's what's known as having a life and balls. It's also rather amazingly known as "holiday entitlement" which may be alien to American's but I have the same rights as any of my "staff" colleagues which entitles me to the same number of days as they get which is ~32-35. My reputation is...

Just to add though, I think wi-fi on a lift is a dreadful idea and not needed for any worthwhile reason.

No job unless it leads to very very quick retirement is and ever will be worth it. I'm a contractor, not a well paid one but a contractor non the less and I work by only one rule. I go on holiday for 4-5 weeks in March, happy? If so I come back to work in April if not I hand in my notice the...

Link to a recent thread on this topic. I think I probably for once have the most experience here for the question asked, a miracle on a US based forum for a guy from Aberdeen, Scotland. I have skied at Whitefish in late March thru early April for over 30 days looking at my records tonight and...

You will only hear good things about Big Mountain and the town of Whitefish from me. This year I am spending 2 days at BM, 2 at Red Mountain and 1 at Schweitzer and I ust have close on 30 days in at Big Mountain. The Hibernation House is where I first stayed back in 2000 for a week. Quite thin...

Missoulian Report Much more info there and if true he should have spent a higher proportion of his time listening to avi reports than god.

Damn, I'm going to miss that opportunity! Good job for her, I'd be less of a gentleman than Vonn's kid :lol:
