The one thing that always surprises me is that midweek Discovery can be completely deserted and I might see a handful of other people skiing Limelight. They have a very good schools program which keeps the lodge busier although I sometimes do wonder that if the owners were not all dedicated...

I remembered that someone was hitting Disco on the 1st March but was glad to see a report and nice to see you guys had a good time. Looking at NOAA Tuesday is going to be brilliant. Tony I think has summed up the area fairly accurately in terms of the scale, type of terrain and snow. I would...

No, all huge storms will be early April, just for me rolling into town! That's the same storms that hit Montana in mid March.....

Are there many other resorts in the area?

Sweet dough, plum jam in the centre, melted butter and mixed poppy seeds and sugar sprinkled on the top. On this example it is the vanilla sauce instead of the butter. I'm going to have a go at making one after years of looking at recipes and never get round to it. As we say in Scotland, "ye...

Thoroughly enjoyed all the TR's. Really loved trips to Austria in the past, lovely food, great scenery, good beer and such like. I would pay anything right now for a germknödel!

Wondered where you had been. I noticed you said you had 4 pics but only 3 linked on here? Particularly like the 1st one.

Nice. Particularly like the 2 colorful pictures of the GMD. 8 weeks to survive on other peoples stoke.

Liking the sound of your trip and Tony's plans also. A little insider knowledge for you, shouldnt be that big a deal nor put you off but Discovery holds their March Madness season pass sale at midnight-1am on March 1st with pass good from March 1st til the end of the season and all of 2015-2016...

I'd say that they must struggle to pay the bills on almost any given midweek day that I have ever been there from mid March til mid April. I can only go with anecdotal evidence from staff there that say the weekends from mid March onwards tail off quite a bit. For me the beauty of Discovery is...

Yeah, I was surprised when I read it on their site. I thought there was an opportunity somewhere in the state to open a week longer than usual now that Big Sky have etended up til the 3rd Sunday these last 2 seasons. Pity it wasnt Discovery for me but they have to close on the first Sunday and...

Admin, not planning on Utah but certainly not ruling it out come April if conditions dictate but I would think now it is unlikely. lono, I see that Big Mountain is extending its season by a week from the usual 1st Sunday of April closing. If I had not been planning on mt Bachelor I'd have been...

I've not posted much on here in a long time and if I have missed a similar thread then apologies! Anyway, thought I would start a thread on plans for the coming season. Anyone got anything nailed yet? Next year is a *coughs* large *coughs* birthday so with friends planning weekends away I...

Thoroughly enjoyed all the reports. I felt sure your friend had enjoyed himself way too much the night before when you said he was sick, I trust he made a speedy recovery.

Really enjoyed the read, forgot how beautiful it is around Lake Tahoe.

I fly out to Bozeman on March 18th and fly home on April 21st. I'll buy my season pass on March 1st 2014 which will be good til the end of the season and all 2014-2015 at Discovery and stay in Philipsburg at least until closing day on April 6th. From April 14th til 18th I will ski for free at...

19 Discovery Basin 5 Big Sky No new resorts this year. Already booked for next winter, fly out on the 18th March and home on the 21st April. Think I will ski 2 1/2 weeks at Discovery and a free week at Big Sky with a week still to fill.

Dunno, I push on hard rather than have natural fitness! I believe it might have been a grouse but I am not sure. A peat hag is a peat bog. The picture below would be a reasonable example. More of my pictures here!

Link to a short report on my first walk in the mountains of Scotland for the best part of a decade. I will put a link to more pictures once I get them online. I hope you enjoy them!

Thought the description sounded familiar then I spotted your location. One of the more exciting ones that springs to mind is the major expansion at Red Mountain up in BC. Red Mountain expansion
