Really sorry to hear about Liz’s accident, injury and short-term disability. I hope she heals quickly and completely.

Thanks Tony. I'll keep that in mind for next time. For now, I've provided enough information to make it easy to find. I haven't done any additional research, but what's interesting to me about this list is and the article cited by Mr. Deluxe is that the Conlin case made it to a jury trial...

Very sad. I'll mind my manners and refrain from directly posting a link to a forum on another website. However, I will say that a maggot has (re-posted) a first-hand account from a survivor in "The Slide Zone" that is worth reading. Its terrifying. The author was initially buried with an hand...

Tony, tseeb and everyone else. Thanks again, your responses have been very helpful. We just pulled the trigger on airfare to Vancouver and a superhost airbnb condo in the "upper village" just a stones throw from the Blackcomb gondola. Yes. Thanks. The local pass is in serious consideration...

tseeb, Tony, egieszl and Sbooker, thank you for the long and detailed responses. They are very helpful and we are now leaning toward Whistler if we can make the logistics and the math work. None of us really care about having any kind of resort experience. If anything, my wife, who has fewer...

My daughter's spring break starts on Friday March 27 and ends on Monday April 6, 2020. She does not have a week-long mid-winter break which means spring beak is what we have to work with if we want to take a full-week ski trip anytime other than Christmas. Of course this means we are looking for...

It was late on our last day and we did not get dropped at the highest starting point for the run. If we had started at the top we would have skied 5655 vertical feet. To Mustang’s knowledge, by vertical feet, this is the longest run in the cat skiing industry. However, Mustang acknowledges they...

Some more photos from day one:

John and I skied Silver Star from 8:30 to 12:30 on our Mustang pick-up day. Three inches of new snow in the parking lot and on the front side was somehow about boot-top deep on the backside, where there are some very nice sustained steeps and some good tree skiing. The snow was very low...

No worries EMSC, a good time was had by all! Your prior input in this thread and your Copper TRs were very helpful. After the long weekend, I'm a little behind now at work and at home, but hope to get some TRs up later in the week. In the meantime, there's this:

My historical M.O. on destination trips to regions where there is a choice of resorts has been to check the conditions reports and weather, factor in the likely skier density and hassle factor, and make a daily decision about where to ski. Clearly that will be out of the question on this trip...

My wife, daughter and I skied bell to bell (12-3:45) with a few dozen other skiers and had a blast. The couple of inches MRG picked up on 12/23 bonded well and ops’ decision to cut the trail count and wait a few days before resuming grooming paid off. The groomers were almost perfect...

This particular Flyer is a rare piece of equipment. It’s one of the small models, which I like better because it has a shorter turn radius and is easier to lug back uphill. My mom and her siblings beat it to hell in th 40s and 50s in Connecticut. I then subjected it to a fair amount of New...

Thanks for everyone’s help. We ended up booking some cheap flights on Southwest and a reasonable condo in Dillon. We’ll buy our lift tickets online closer in time to our arrival. I’m still on the fence about trying to ski Loveland on Sunday 1/27, mostly because we ended up with a 4pm flight home...

After Friday and Saturday’s big rain, MRG cut their trail count to 22. The base looks adequate, but they have been letting the mountain drain. With yesterday and today’s colder temperatures, there’s a lot of ice around. It snowed an inch or two this afternoon, but my daughter and I were pretty...

Nope, definitely not how I was taught, and yes I know better. Just a case of brain rot and too-hasty-and-distracted posting. I'm not lol, but am at least chuckling under my breath because it's worse than you think, Mr. Rider: this particular grammatical error occurred by speaking instead of...
