Based on the forecast weather and filled up calendar. 26: ski banquet in Montreal 28-29: online course at home in Ottawa 30+: Montreal - had workers redo floors of tenant apartment. They should be done tomorrow Nov 1.

Found this numbers on Google. "Across its 160-foot (50-m) vertical drop, Big Snow is made up of what are basically three trails across one continuous slope (there are technically four trails, but the blue-rated Switchback and green-rated Perfect Slope trails are really just different halves of...

I believe they’ve done that a few times.

Not that I know of. It happened when they updated their site and the forum was dropped. I had maybe 4000+ posts.

Ouch. Although the conditions were perfect given my situation as it was warm and the surface was soft. I remember people asking me why I wasn’t going for a 3rd run; let just say I didn’t want to exaggerate. There were a few pictures and video taken of me and I believe posted on the old Zoneski...

If you are wondering, that was probably one of the closest moment the ski streak was in jeopardy. Others: Pucon, CL August 30, 2008 - pouring rain and closure after one run. West Virginia / Hurricane Sandy, October 31, 2012 1st few months of the pandemic with closed interprovincial borders...

Broken my ankle in October 4th when my foot caught a gopher hole with the long grass hiking our local hill. When to the tiny local hospital and was told it was a bad sprain. 10 days later, radiologist going over X-rays called me to inform that I indeed had a fracture and to report at a hospital...

Metal post sticking out 1 inch used to secure non-visible and the fully buried wooden snow fence in a middle of a cattrack. Still doing physio and haven't receive a green light for skiing yet. I was right above when I saw it, tried to avoid it, but straddled it and awkwardly fell and dislocated...

If wasn't for the post sticking out of the snow to take me out, I would vote for late season Mammoth over Ward 99.9 times out of 100.

For me it's the novelty of it. Let's just say that Covid and my recent injury in California has messed up plans. Postponed idea of trips. Avila in 2023 was with their setup with the chairlift. I had other plans if it wouldn't been for the injury, same for Big Snow. Previous 11 Octobers...

Actually they have a Rail Jam next weekend, but I see the point. St-Sauveur/Avila doesn't really count their Akamp as an opening or extended season. Not sure what the vertical of the magic carpet, but definitely less Big Snow or the AKAMP. I measured 100' vert at Avila this July which was...

Planet Skier took it another level when he skied Paraguay. https://planetskier.blogspot.com/2016/04/paraguay-on-miniskis.html Actually didn't really needed snow in San Marino. https://planetskier.blogspot.com/2018/08/skiing-san-marino-on-rocks.html

:D

Average from the 60 indoor area (snow) with vertical numbers on SkiResort.info is 31.1m. 45 area have little or no detail. SnoOslo is at 80m is an outlier and second biggest tied with one in China and France. Ski Dubai is 85m has the biggest vertical. BigSnow (36m) is 17th out of 60. Higher...

The diagnostic on the option hasn’t been crossed off. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like expected skiable snow today hasn’t materialized. I was initially planning a drive into Upper New York State tomorrow, but looks like I’ll abort that plan.

Less vertical in Mass than NJ. Maps says that Ward is 9 miles closer than BigSnow from my house (419 miles), but getting to NJ is 7 minutes quicker (6:43). It took me 6h from house to parking in September. Vertical and space advantage and space is probably indoors. BigSnow vert is 118ft versus...

Yes they are. That new snowmaking system is pretty revolutionary. I believe a few places in Australia have that snowmaking system on a limited scale.

And they are « Back in Black »… for this season. https://www.wmur.com/amp/article/black-mountain-ski-area-nh-open-indy-pass/45576112

Pretty historical also. Not many ski areas dating back to the mid-1930s.
