Timberline closed on July 19. From Powder magazine: "Pour one out for the 2025/2026 ski season, it’s officially come to an end. Timberline Lodge, located high on Oregon’s Mt. Hood, welcomed skiers and snowboarders for the last time this season on Sunday, July 19, 2026, marking 212 days since...

While the Participation Trophy is somewhat funny, many other things our President has started are not. CNN listed Trump's worst predictions on his war in Iran including the 20% toll on ships traveling the Strait of Hormuz that includes: "In other words: It seemed wholly impractical. And sure...

According to my local paper the hottest place in US yesterday was Miles City, MT at 114. Billings was 110. My weather station recorded 107, the same temp local paper reported for Death Valley and Needles, CA and Las Vegas. Cooler here today but more humid than usual.

Not Ski-Air travel but a problem that could have turned out a lot worse. Three weeks from yesterday we are flying to Barcelona to join tour of Spain that ends in Madrid with daytrip to (hopefully) see a near sunset total eclipse from a castle. I booked our flight almost 11 months ago with Level...

On Friday, after low of 47, my weather station had peak of 94. Saturday’s low was not as low and high was 88. Sunday was cloudy with more than usual humidity, less overnight cooling and my weather station had high of 107. Indoor temp was in lower 70s until after 5 when I came in from working...

I cutoff most of reply from @ChrisC which I agree with although we are getting very off-topic for this thread. I live in a very warm part of San Jose, 50 miles S of SF but with 2K-almost 4K' elevation Santa Cruz mountains blocking cool air from ocean. Weather.com San Jose monthly averages temps...

Conditions were OK to ski another 1/2 hr or maybe an hour but I thought 20 laps on Shirley plus 8 on Gold Coast were enough and had an early start and more to do that day. Does not compare to effort in late July 2023 when I had 17 laps on chair 23 at Mammoth one day and 15 the next. There was...

Cali Squeeze is very good and refreshing. It contains Blood Orange which adds a lot of color and fresh flavor.

I have some photos from this year that I'm finally posting after taking care of things outside before it got too warm. Yesterday was 105 at nearby wunderground station and my weather station got to 107. Today, which was supposed to be cooler, my weather station got to 100 about noon. List of 6...

Your link did not work for me. This one did.

Adding to comments by @Tony Crocker on the Heavenly tram that I often park near and ride if it looks like I will catch first or 2nd tram. The lowest level of Heavenly is always in the shade early and cold so it's nice to be inside. I'm sure when I learned to ski at Heavenly not too long after...

My weather station had 0.02" of rain this morning. From Mammoth's website: Mammoth is open for skiing and riding through June 7 Sonora Pass is closing for storm after they remove a semi stuck near Kennedy Meadows. See...

My goal was to match my age at 70. I ended up with 56 after (edit) 43 last year and 47/46 the two years before that. Is 80% a good effort or barely a B- grade? Vertical totaled 1.204M or 21.5K/day up from 1.06M, but down from 24.67K/day the previous year. I picked a good year to make two trips...

My last day of the season started a little after 8 AM and ended a little before 2 PM. Then it was followed by a little over 5 hr drive home including 9945' Tioga Pass that opened last Friday. I crossed Yosemite with minimal stops and mostly light traffic. I didn't like how dirty the snow was...

Monday May 18 was only chairs 1, 2, 3, 23 and lower gondola. Totally sunny but I saw 19F at my car in early AM so very slow softening. I started with 2 laps on chair 2 skiing Stump Alley that was groomed smoother than previous day. Bottom of chair 10 (not running) and chair 2. Loading ramp was...

@ShiftyRider G2 was closed due to wind. PM me your phone no and we can try to get together tomorrow. I sent you mine.

I'm only skiing May 17-19, but included May 20 in title as I think Tony Crocker is skiing it. I left So. Tahoe not much after 4 and parked by Harrah's to use facilities at Dotty's casino. You can't read too bright sign for Lucky Beaver in the middle. They were closed but gas firepit in table on...

Caught this on my phone on drive between South Lake Tahoe and Mammoth early on May 17. Will try to get report up from skiing Sunday 5/17 at Mammoth when high winds closed most of the lifts for a while. Where I spent night my car thermometer said it was 19F when I got up Monday when it was...

April 16 was the last of my 6 April days at Kirkwood. May 16 was my first and only day this year at Palisades. I went to Palisades to break up trip to Mammoth which is too far for an early AM drive and to go by friend's family house across the street from Lake in King Beach after skiing. They...

Kirkwood is owned by Vail. Bought for $18M in February 2012. Bargain price and thought was to prevent Ikon from buying it. I followed example set by @jamesdeluxe and asked Google "is kirkwood a cult ski area". Reply follows and note the reference to firsttracks. AI Overview Yes, Kirkwood is...
