Thanks. Or not. Another trip to do. My bucket has time limitations.

Sorry for going wildly off topic but INXS is not INXS without Michael Hutchence. It's possible to ski on actual snow on Mt Rainier in September?

Sounds great to me. How far does that extend inland? To the foothills of the Sierra?

The bar keeps getting set lower. Why don’t his handlers stop this kind of classless vulgarity? “RESTRAINING ORDER NEEDED”. That’s the innuendo-laced diplomatic message the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, delivered by AI-distorted image to the 68th Prime Minister of Italy...

Amusing but I don't know why some Australians are intent on yobbo behaviour in public. It's embarrassing frankly.

Doesn't surprise me. :)

Nice analogy and one that I’ll use in the future. Our summer storm forecasts come under this category too.

Interesting that Liz has not skied down here. I’ll make an effort to cross ski tracks with you somewhere that season all things being equal.

https://www.mthutt.co.nz/weather-report Mt Hutt and some of the other Canterbury ski areas now have decent bases. Unlike the club fields nearby Mt Hutt also has snowmaking. This season is now set up for them.

They're free.

Rigged. [Needs elaboration, TC] DJT call to Gianni Infante: "I just want to find, uh, 4 goals." Sorry. :)

I’ve skied at Mt Hutt a few times. I’d prefer to ski somewhere else that I’ve not skied before but if it has to be there it will be. There is also the bonus of being able to hook up with a heli day out of Methven. I’m watching the snowfall and will definitely be skiing at some point in August or...

I find the vehicle thermometer readings are high. Sometimes by 3 degrees C. I blame the metal composition of the car.

Weirdos.

Yes. We liked the one we went to last year. We went to a very good one in Victor down the street from Driggs too.

I like that bloke too. He makes a great point. Without fresh snow (or worse with rain which has been common over the last 5 years in mid winter) skiing in Japan becomes much much less fun. Sure the cultural side is still there. From a foreigner’s point of view North America is still a great...

Ruapehu is a handsome looking mountain. I’m feeling like this is the year for us. https://www.facebook.com/share/1D5MXVjdCx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Splits are much more efficient than window units I believe. They use a lot less juice.

I like to travel off season or shoulder season. That makes lodging a better value proposition. I intend to travel to the US in November sometime soon to walk the Grand Canyon and Utah national parks. I expect I’ll find lodging in the towns in my price bracket. From a skiing in the USA point of...
