I saw racers on the trail alongside the lift and gates set up on the closed parallel trail, but didn't put 2 and 2 together until I noticed that conditions on the Basin side were noticeably better. A few pix from yesterday -- a long stretch of bumps along the Ptarmigan lift. Experts were...

Excellent pix

Also part of the Colorado-at-the-end-of-January experience: golf!

Given all the powder reports that have been posted over the last few weeks from Japan, Switzerland, and New York, this report may be a bit underwhelming. With only 92 inches YTD, all of the upper-mountain black terrain including the entire sector over the Eisenhower Tunnel was closed leaving 540...

Seriously, what are you two going to do with yourselves after he finishes his tour? While I don't deny most of the points you're making about leaving so much on the table, I appreciate getting brief overviews and photos of many small northeastern ski mountains and molehills (in good to very good...

Liz is the one who never refuses a photo op next to one of them; however, she always has Tony around to snap a shot while I'm usually alone and don't want to bother anyone with "could you please take my picture?" He says with derision -- look at who's become a powder snob! I'd never look down...

More Innsbruck photos have been posted on Alpinfans and it appears that the snow drought there is over. With only two Indy Pass days for all of the "city" ski areas, I'll have to go into worldskitraveller mode to see most of them or purchase a third day for 25% off, which comes to a reasonable...

I wasn't reporting; I copy/pasted a photo with snow stats from Instagram. Stand by -- late next week, I'll have something interesting to post from the northeast. :smileyvault-stirthepot:

Looks like you're having a dream trip -- much better than skiing and drinking dank, hazy, juicy, crushable, roasty/toasty, floral, fruit-forward, citrusy, horseblankety, effervescent craft beer in the American West right now. :icon-lol:

We know that there was at least one NCP this season in NVT, but still, a good showing so far.

It's still a month out but I'm keeping an eye on the various Innsbruck ski areas for our early March visit. Here's Axamer Lizum, looking a bit better today than a couple weeks ago.

My years of guidance and training are finally starting to pay off.

For that amount of fresh snow, you're torturing her with 92s. :icon-e-wink:

Exactly how I pictured Japow. :eusa-clap:

I don't know how I missed Whaleback for the FTO map as I've known about it through NEers on the Snowjournal forum going back 25 years.

Yes, credit card holders get the free ski and boot bag, even with basic economy. We're completely different travel animals. I just noticed that they recently added some additional fine print to disincentivize basic economy: a $100 or more fee on the one-year travel credit when you cancel an...

I agree with Harvey: "We all do crazy stuff because it's what we want to do," whether it's a) essentially limiting yourself to ski areas in one state, b) going on round-the-world trips during shoulder months (that include numerous indoor ski areas) to complete a streak, or c) my preference...

I turn 62 in early March.
