Patrick's June and July were at the usual suspects. This was his 6th June at St. Sauveur and 8th July at Avila.

Yes. Weather dependent activities can go sideways on short notice, including expensive ones. There is a distinction for the case you know before you go that it will be bad, the PeakRankings Telluride trip being a good example. But I suspect that trip was like most cat/heli trips, dependent...

The seems so weird. Surely for most homes the sun bakes the upstairs more than the downstairs. It's extremely rare that we use our downstairs A/C. Downstairs is colder in the winter too. Perhaps there is a humidity factor I'm missing here.

Obvious snow ice boundary here in Norway when Liz got her first September ski day: The suncups Liz is skiing here look a lot like the ones in ChrisC's Muir snowfield post. I observe that suncupping varies by latitude. The lower the latitude the more overhead the sun is, gouging deeper...

That sounds reasonable. That was close to the pace for Tuckerman Ravine, where altitude is not much of a factor even though my pack was 38 pounds. Some of the locals were really hauling ass up that trail with stripped down aluminum frame packs holding their boots and skis. Poopout Hill...

Since we already have an extensive thread on Patrick's Streak/Priorities, I've moved the recent posts there.

Now is very different with MLS. The are 30 teams with a median value of $670 million and three of them over a billion. In many places we have a substantial foreign born population that loves soccer plus a couple of generations of American kids like Adam that played soccer extensively. MLS...

In what conditions? Is there enough traffic to prevent huge suncups and big irregularities from forming? For you, maybe. Even when I was 30 it took me 7 hours to hike with skis on my back from the 7,700 foot Poopout Hill trailhead to San Gorgonio (11,500) or Jepson Peak (11,200). But big...

Liz and I currently stay at Mammoth at the home of a former ski racer we met through Lonnie. Sam is 83 I think. Often there are other people there, nearly all of them between my age (73) and Sam's, and most with ski racing backgrounds. Almost none are still racing and most are confined to...

I was at Dodger Stadium and did not see it live, but at first I could not figure out what that Swiss player did to get his second yellow card. But a later review should give James some satisfaction. Embolo got that card for taking a dive!

Sorry, there's no way I'm not swinging at a softball like:

I was quoted 800-1,000. Based upon observation, that seemed reasonable. It's not unreasonable to suspect that might be above average due to the 11 inches new snow. What proportion of North American ski areas have anything above tree line? I can easily argue Yellowstone Club is an above...

The above mentioned incidents were at least a decade ago and the January-March pattern continues with no end in sight.

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.
