Paramjit is one of my Revelstoke favorites. However, I usually end up ordering the more traditional, non-fusion entrees.

Whitewater has great skiing, but stands out as the best ski area food on this side of the Atlantic.

This style lift seems to be popular in Europe, where use of the bar is not optional. I find it comfortable, however I always use the bar and enjoy the footrest.

Agree regarding the east. I cant recall prolonged dry.

I skied WinterPark the past 2 days. Chalky snow, good groomers. Anything off-piste was technical skiing with lots of pine sticking up and more rocks than usual. Certainly thin base, but definitely skiable.

Its nice to see photos of Shawnee. I grew up going there this time of year in the late 70’s-80’s. I dont recall it ever having skiable trees. Does it have any high speed lifts yet?

Such an unusual season with the east leading in snow at many resorts as well as surface conditions. Very atypically west has been far more rain affected than usual.

I have a lot of family in Colorado. We generally go every February to ski and visit family. My son will be joining and he has a fixed break off from school. With the Colorado snow situation, it’s tempting to simply just drive somewhere east of here, but that would miss a lot of the purpose...

Thanks for the report. I will be heading to Summit County next week. Seems like I should bring my dedicated 74 mm piste skis. They are built for that firm snow. I cant imagine it could be any worse than Mt Tremblant or Blue mtn the day after rain and a hard overnight freeze.

Big Sky also has a unique rocks called andesite that is sharp like shale, but hard like granite. It also cuts like a knife. When I worked in a medical there in December 2002, I recall suturing many lacerations from those rocks.

Any thoughts on if it feels more like eastern North America or the West? Is it all below treeline as well?

I have never been to Japan to ski, however it looks amazing. What would those who have been equate the terrain to in North America?

I dont understand the multiple ski areas in 1 day. It seems like taking a run at each place and move to the next. Seems to take the fun out of it. The closest I have gotten to this was the ski Utah Interconnect, but that was about skiing all the resorts including the backcountry routes...

I was hearing a few reasons when I was at Mustang a few weeks ago that included injuries and newborn arrivals (booking 1 year out, prior to conception, may factor in here). I also suspect costs are starting to factor in as well as current global politics.

Dec was very warm and Vail bowls face south. I suspect November and early December snow melted potentially down to the ground. January looks like it has been seasonal. Hopefully no more melting.

This calls for the special cold weather gear that I usually reserve for Tremblant and Lake Louise. Have you tried frost tape for your exposed face? Boot gloves, glove liners, under the mitts with hand warmers in between? I also add an extra arteryx midlayer on the top and bottom for this.

Perhaps a diversion to ski the east is in order. I think everywhere on the eastern half of the continent is in good shape.

Huge snowstorm today in Toronto, however I couldn’t leave the city due to a work obligation. So far we have received 2 feet with most of it falling in 4 hrs. Cold temps around 10f with very light blower powder. We have a tiny ski hill in the city called Earl Bales. Powder is powder, so we...

Is RCR heading down the bankruptcy path? Seems their spending reflects a company with empty pockets.
