Pretty sure Rodo and Jari are at a solid 6 with crazy number of ski areas and countries skied in, but 7 is pretty special.

There is a series of maps/route that were made. First edition were rough drawings (don’t remember who lent it to me) and second edition which came out around 2009. Bought one which was stolen with all my gear after my trip once I arrived in Buenos Aires. Soulskier bought me another copy when he...

July in the Andes = stay clear if you going to use a lift.

I’ve been on the verge of booking a flight to SA for 10 days; I haven’t really committed to any countries yet (Chile, Argentina, Oz, NZ or Oregon). I have to be back in home prior to late August.

I checked a few days ago and Marte was open. Meanwhile Australia is being dumped on.

Not sure there is a boost in Trump's standing. The vindicative rhetoric used that Trump is raising the temperature and some people might want to see him as a main contributor to an even worsening political climate. It's a very slippery slope between normal political criticism and violence. See...

Not sure what the commercial is now? Are believe they are above 18hrs. Did Vancouver-Melbourne in 2018 at 17hrs. First flight was Ottawa-Vancouver at 5ish. Really sucks when you can't sleep.

Driving left: 3400km in Australia in 2022 and probably maybe 3000km in 2018. 4400km in NZ in 2016. I don’t recommend driving 750km solo towards Hotham from Sydney on your first day, especially if you barely sleeping across Canada and over the Pacific to Sydney. First roundabout is always the...

Yes, not finding any recent information online, it’s all of couple of years old for both areas. Mind you prior to my visit to La Hoya (2008) and Los Penitentes (2009), there was also a serious lack of info.

Well there is lift served in Egypt. ;) I didn't know that Morocco was down? Oukaimeden and Michlifen are no longer running lifts?

Congrats on number 7 and thank you for the info. Definitely on the long bucket list.

Looking forward for the TR.

Latest snow in Africa: Above Cape Town is getting some. https://snowreport.co.za/widespread-low-level-snow-south-africa-lesotho-july-2024/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3QoevqJoZVEEu0i2lbvrXjgGK5Pck7ra7Pa6RuSsQG_vNmcZ7oSLYxsng_aem_te0XEzM8bA5rcoEv8s3ntg

Many ski areas in Lebanon. There is one ski area also in Israel.

Just announced that Tiffindell is up for sale; add that to Beartooth Basin being on the market. Summer ski sale ski area shopping spree anyone?

The road from Portillo to Mendoza is pretty long with side mountain stretches. On the Chilean side, besides the crazy switchbacks before Portillo the road is less exposed.

The first Midnight Oil show I saw at the Spectrum was recorded for Canadian TV. I have it somewhere on a Beta tape. (Also transfer it on DVD 20 years ago). The song was edited down to fit into 60 minutes format of the show, so most comments between songs were removed and maybe a few songs.

I am not commenting, except that you have a nice guy way past his prime versus narcissistic psycho that has a few lost marbles. As James, I’m also concerned that further national and international damage if Trump return to the White House. For example, 10 years ago, no one would believe that the...

Yes and No. I believe I could have made a rescheduled MO show in Christchurch NZ and combine Aug/Sep. However NZ measures were still important in 2022, and if you became Covid positive in the day travel to NZ, but would be forced to quarantine. I also had concert tickets for Bauhaus in Toronto...

They only hit it big here once Diesel came out. Playing the Montreal Forum twice. That popularity didn’t last long. 10 to 1 album is the first one to reach North America; still off-radar. I first saw them during Red Sails tour in 1985 at the Spectrum in Montreal (1,200 capacity). I believe it...
