After my 2004 divorce I skied in the Southern Hemisphere the next three seasons. ??? That's a long trip, so plenty of time to chase where the best snow is, even if as far as Chillan/Corralco. Do not even think about booking lodging until immediately before arrival. If we had not committed...

Snow data is very sketchy. In our South America threads I will erratically post Portillo season-to-date numbers. When I was at Portillo in 2007 Iooked up Henry Purcell and he provided me with 1970-2007 data averaging 254 inches. Here are the last dates in seasons I have looked up Portillo...

Wrong question. 2009 was the last overall above average season. There are threads here on FTO about most South America seasons since then, and probably a quarter of them had similar starts. The seasons that started strong were usually lean in July and later.

Evidently Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a "mini-honeymoon" at the Yellowstone Club earlier this week.

The next day they will be his ex-handlers. This is one of the markers of first term vs. second term.

I'm living in the opposite world. Per game price of my two season seats plus the most convenient parking in Dodger Stadium: 1995 26.46 DS 1996 26.70 DS 1997 28.70 1998 30.77 1999 34.30 2000 36.00 2001 36.10 2002 39.40 2003 39.40 2004 39.40 DS 2005 41.28 2006...

I had already changed the Whistler location in my core regional page for the Pacific Northwest. The spreadsheet that feeds the season summaries said "Roundhouse." I have fixed that so this issue won't recur.

I have a project for takeahike46er. I have data from near Whistler's base/Alta Lake from 1967-68 to 2008-09. Environment Canada has not updated hardly any online monthly summaries since then. I asked Leslie Anthony about this in 2018 but he did not do anything. I'm sending a PM with...

Speaking of getting hammered, sbooker will get a kick out of these chanting Aussie fans.

The Scots made quite an impression upon Boston.

I should change that. When I started collecting data in the early 1990's, my understanding was that it was from the Roundhouse. I'm sure that past 15 years at least are from Pig Alley, and possibly since the 1999 merger of Blackcomb and Whistler. For 17 years before that, Blackcomb had a...

It would but we have seen this movie before. Storm forecasts a week out in South America are like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. :icon-lol: IMHO nobody should be committing $$ until that snow is on the ground. This situation is an echo of mine in 2015. There was a much hyped...

Final OpenSnow post for Canadian Rockies about July 3-5 closing weekend. Pics showed chairs going up not full so it looks like not excessive crowds midweek. I wonder what the weekend was like? That was a very unusual event and Calgary has a large skiing population. I searched and came up with...

That graph is for Europe. The worldwide anomaly for June was 1.39C. This fits with a recent article (I can't find today) about the heat wave saying Europe is warming at twice the rate of the world overall. That might imply the rain/snow line in Europe rising by 1,000 feet vs. 500 feet in...

Sorry indeed. Those buildings are the base of El Colorado at 9,000 feet. It's hard for me to believe that it's not routinely below freezing at night in June/July. I suspect the water supply for snowmaking is not very robust. It again strikes me as ironic that Mountain Capital Partners...

I'll refer our new member to the extensive thread on Western North America 2025-26. Some final season numbers and comparisons to prior bad seasons start here.

Without paying for some kind of subscription?

History of Eagle Point/Mt. Holly/Elk Meadows. This is the history of a marginally viable ski area for an economic perspective. I made that observation when we skied there Dec. 29, 2013 despite our view that the Lookout fall lines were better than Brian Head's. So there is a significant...
