Previously you mentioned ski bags. Are you planning to ski in India?

I agree most of the peak crowds at most ski areas are locals who daytrip. Destinations travelers frequently travel on the weekends and ski on the weekdays and ski sun or powder.

It looks like the snow forecasted in the 10 day forecast has now vanished. It don't think I can depend on any significant new snow. @tony, how are you finding surface conditions in the ungroomed areas? Which mountains are skiing better? If I stay further west, my likely itinerary could...

There isn’t any new snow in the 10 day forecast for Red. Therefore i am dependent on existing surface conditions and Red/whitewater are lower elevation. Did they have any warm ups after the last snowfall? Banff preserves surface conditions incredibly long due to elevation and there is some...

Originally Revelstoke blamed the slowdown on lift building on the 2008 financial crisis. However now that is a long time in the past. On another note, I am heading out to ski the Alberta Rockies/interior BC starting next Sunday January 26. I have been following the recent lack of snow...

My knowledge of the great lakes is that Superior generally only gets freezing near shore and always has open water allowing for ongoing lake effects. Therefore the percentage frozen may be more reflective of average temperature. I used to live in Cleveland. Lake Erie is much different. Its...

I am going to Vietnam as well in 3.5 weeks. I suspect that I will be making some of the same stops. Are you also going to Ha Long Bay?

The audience no longer wants to pay for media. I guess these different methods are how they are covering their bills.

Its a strange list, but their readership obviously doest reflect the Vail or WB skiers/riders.

I see a resemblance to my Weber barbecue.

As an American living in Canada, I wish both of these leaders would have recognized thats its time to pass the leadership to a younger generation. Ages 78 and 81 should not be running for this high stress, important and demanding position. I am sure the country can survive 4 years of either...

Yes i just checked. I have the Suunto Core. Its still available and on the Suunto site. https://www.suunto.com/en-ca/Products/sports-watches/Suunto-Core/Suunto-Core-All-Black/

I like my Suunto watch with an altimeter. Battery lasts 1-2 years. Then its an easy to replace, use a coin to open.

I have been thinking about a trip to ski in Chile in the future. However finding information about how much snow these ski areas get is challenging. Tony - you seem to have snowfall stats on almost everywhere. On a normal to good year, how much snow do ski areas such as Valle Nevado or...

On the occasions that I find myself in Florida, I am usually in the Delray to Boca area. Is there anything in that region?

Where is there mtn biking in Florida?

Arizona, New Mexico and the Colorado mountains are places that I believe have many retirees.

Florida is too hot and flat for me. No skiing, cycling is boring. No mtn biking worth doing. The pool and beach get old quickly. Agree with EMSC makes sense for a few weeks vacation in the fall before the snow comes.

It may depend on how much the sun comes out.

I learned Tele about 14 years ago and would practice my tele turns while skiing behind my children leaning to ski. However, I started having knee pain issues. I wasnt sure if it was related to Tele, however the tele turns were not helping. Therefore, I gave it up.
