Ummm, that's not where I'd go that late! So LLC and Park City Group are out. Either high chance of crap snow, archaic rules against snowboarders, weak beer or all three. I strongly agree, but you're probably looking at Arapahoe or Loveland, not Breck or Vail at that time. We're getting...

OK, you have to promise to cover your ears before you watch the first one (explicit lyrics). My son Spencer, 17, is featured in this short shot at Bachelor last weekend. He's in the green sweatshirt and has turned into a fine rider. I'm sorry to tell you, but your kids listen to this stuff too...

Did you and Tony happen to discuss the merits of Snowbird during the springtime? :dead horse:

I realized today that it has been nearly six months since this season began (October 6th). I count the beginning as the first day back on new snow after summer, even though I usually ski/ride year round due to Timberline and our snowy volcanoes. Does time seem to go by faster as you age? Did...

You mean thirty years ago, with a Bird ticket, you couldn't hike up Baldy from that side, ski down the chutes and exit out Keyhole or catch a ride back to the Cliff?

This is fun watching you guys bicker! But I can't just sit back and not jump in. Admin, on those north facing maps I see all of Baldy pinked out but how come not all of Twin Peaks at Snowbird? To be fair, it looks like you didn't go above the traverse line from the top of the tram. With two very...

The guys keep saying they've had more good days off the top this year than the last two years combined. I have to agree. We were expecting more snow for today, but in reality it dove south and Cali (Mammoth) got the goods. So I didn't expect bluebird this morning, but I'll take it. I rushed up...

Since it's OK to talk about weather forecasts and 4x4's and stuff, rather than giving real time ski reports with pics, see if you like this: :mrgreen: http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/5987841/ PS: Was I the last guy since February 18th who got to go skiing/riding?

The afternoon Conditions Report said it better than I: Thursday Feb 25, 1:00pm (update #10) Today we saw some of the best conditions of the season with light, luscious pow and blue skies. The backside was choice today. A thin layer of stratus clouds have moved in this afternoon and the snow...

You've seen what the weather has been like in these parts, if you have followed the Olympics. The conditions here have been spectacular, with deep bluebird skies and pleasant temps. Our base is at 6300 feet, well above anything near Whistler Blackcomb. Even so, I was pleasantly surprised last...

Bend local Tommy Ford enjoying some Bachy pow. Tommy is on the start list for tomorrow's Men's Olympic Giant Slalom. Go Tommy!

No one has complained to me about my pics loading slow, only mentioning how good they look. (Sony Cyber-shot 8.1 mega pixel, Zeiss 5x optical) I don't seem to have any problem with load times with anyone else's pics, but I have a Mac, so that must explain it! :stir:

Hey DJAK, Kudos to you and your team for the straight-up conditions reports and getting the lifts up and running fast like today! Any thoughts on that new chair? Timetables?

Well, we're still hanging in there despite our somewhat warm and dry winter so far. We have almost 100" mid-mountain so that is not too shabby. The last few days were stormy with the snow level hovering right around the base area at 6300'. It looked pretty crowded as well but I was home, still...

Back to the beautiful Big Wood River Valley for the Boulder Mountain Tour skate ski race. We go every year to this ultra-competitive 32K down valley marathon. Last year I rode out with the fellows and nobody was interested in going alpine skiing at Baldy. What? So this year I booked the condo at...

It was my girlfriend Sally's birthday so I took her to Elk Lake Resort for dinner. Trouble is, it's 11 miles and 1500 feet below the end of the nearest plowed road, which is the parking lot at Bachelor. So we skate skied in. They groom on Friday nights, so the track was perfect in falling snow...

Nothing really huge has happened here lately, but maybe that's good. It has been snowing consistently, with very good snow usually, so the surfaces have been excellent. Every morning there is a fresh coat, and this morning was bound to be good as the top was due to open and sunny skies were...

How long was Tony in Utah before he left? Let's see, 4 days = 7 feet of snow. That's almost two feet for every day he's there! But it won't fall 'till after he's left, of course. :-k

Yesterday it snowed all day and the top hadn't opened all week except for Thursday at 2, for little more than an hour. What this means is it had snowed consistantly all week and basically no one had ridden back there. We didn't get all that much snow this week but it was cold and the surfaces...

That's an accurate observation about Chair 22 at Mammoth, which is also protected by the summit ridge and faces away from the prevailing wind. Unfortunately, NWX and Outback Express are on the western side of our mountain, and so are right in the teeth of the jet stream. We also get riming, due...
