    Discovery, MT, Mar. 1, 2015

    I've skied 8 days straight at Disco. We've had car crashes, backs out, pow, spring, pow, hardpack, pow. You name it. I've walked onto Limelight almost every time without more than 2-4 people in front. Last weekend you couldn't move in the lots, but the stuff worth skiing was deserted. Skied...

    Mt Ashland 2/01/16

    Great to see something different on here. One place I've always wanted to visit along with Shasta but never quite got close enough during a good year.

    Advice on driving west to ski

    Mr Crocker is slightly bending some truths. The UK does have rules regarding attendance at school and technically you can be fined for unauthorised absence from school. However most reasonable requests through a head teacher seems to be granted. It seems more a law to ensure parents stop...

    Thoroughly enjoyed all these reports. My friend Mike spends each season in Niseko although this year he has cut it short and is currently skiing in Georgia.

    Alps Conditions: 2015-16

    Not sure exactly where they were going but my friends cancelled their trip over New Year. Only 6/40km open at the mountain nearest them and brown patches appearing by the day. Although colder the last couple of days we have been in the 10-15 degrees C range over the last week or so In the east...

    I think in terms of skiers we are for sure, and when the skiers are whisky drinkers also then 100%

    I've always been fascinated with old ski hills, I did'nt recall hearing about Sunlight so I had a dig around on the internet. Pretty interesting! Interesting photos and info

    Smallest most obscure Ski hill you've been to?

    Reminder about Consumer Electronics and Beacons

    I'm no expert but is throwing it in the snow not potential for loosing the thing you need most once you have dug him out, just a pedantic thought thrown in :stir:

    Las Lenas, Argentina, Aug. 30 - Sept. 1, 2015

    It was a 3 week trip, 5555km driven with 12 days skied at 6 resorts in Chile and Argentina. We spent 2 chunks of time at Termas de Chillan which I thought was superb. Lots of mileage there. We then headed to Antuco which was not open and on towards Malalcahuello where we were once again denied...

    Snow in September 9/5/15

    I went into 2015 with really low expectations, wondered within the 1st week of my trip if we would still be open on closing day in April yet had a blast. I'm taking those same expectations into this season and will remind myself that I am on holiday and will make of it what I can. That way, I...

    Las Lenas, Argentina, Aug. 30 - Sept. 1, 2015

    Nice report as ever Tony, bringing back memories of my trip to South America 10 years ago. Never made it to Las Lenas but all the same issues with lifts not spinning and the like are country wide :-D

    Discovery, MT, Mar. 1, 2015

    Yeah, pretty small cities for sure. Butte is positioned in such a way that some friends have passes for both Discovery and also Bridger although my buddy Jim I believe barely used his Bridger one last winter and not convinced he will renew it this coming winter. I always have the impression...

    Discovery, MT, Mar. 1, 2015

    I may be wrong but I was sure I read in the Pburg mail that they had overcome that hurdle but that is merely from a hazy memory. Seem to remember it being an article about the new bike park that mentioned it. In terms of where the people come from, I can only go with what I see on the roads and...
