News dropped yesterday: Ste-Anne go a green light to reopen their chairlifts. They are opening this Sunday morning. Gondola is still close with no clear indication of a reopening. Falling chairs: I heard about the Breckinridge. I haven’t read the details, so I can’t really comment. Back in...

A few more info on the saga. https://www.lesoleil.com/2023/01/02/le-mont-sainte-anne-toujours-dans-le-flou-5ed6dba79393417388085d26b5492827?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3aEuRsJ8odPwSCyz5_DKdcK-h-52oUwUZ2RiDRywubyHtguK5dWCZppLE#Echobox=1672693950 Plus when life gives you...

Excellent summary of the MSA history by Quebec City major paper. Important dates and relation between the different actors involved in this saga. https://www.lesoleil.com/2022/12/15/la-saga-du-mont-sainte-anne-en-15-dates-f6be566ada0dd6a71d77be5be0e0a085

Actually this isn’t possible as I believe RCR doesn’t own the land. Pretty sure they might be a lease agreement on certains things RCR has to respect operational wise. Mont Ste-Anne (as most of Orford and Tremblant’s North side) is located in a Quebec National park. I know the Quebec government...

Tony gave me heads up on the topic. The first major problem with the gondola was in February 20, 2020 where a few people were injured. It was a pretty major incident that closed the gondola until the Sunday March 1. I was at MSA on Feb 29-Mar 1 for a set of races and was among the first on the...

Oh well... Glen Mountain has a new owner, but not Peter White. No news who the new owner is or what are their intentions? MONT GLEN: SALE TO PETER WHITE FALLS THROUGH https://skiandbikemag.com/mont-glen-sale-falls-through/

Mind you I have only experience Turo's once. I guess it could vary greatly like various AirBnB experiences. My experience and process was pretty simple. I called him when I landed and he picked up in the car at the Calgary Airport Terminal. He drove me to a mall where he explained the car and...

From my understanding the content wasn't lost, it was just the fact that the ZS's forum wasn't a priority for them.

Viable? It could open without snowmaking, but to be viable it would need some snowmaking. There is a great book on the culture and vibe of Glen by Brian Eddington. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2720803-out-of-bounds Shefford was never in the same category as Glen or Echo. My recollection...

Yes, used them for the 1st time out of Calgary for my late Nov/early December trip thru the Canadian Rockies. I definitely wanted a car with winter tires and I definitely needed it with the snow that fell on that trip.

For a bit of background, Peter White was also part of a group that owned Norquay 20 years ago. CBC News: How a man in Quebec's Eastern Townships is reviving his family's beloved ski hill Peter White is hoping to bring Mont Glen back after its closure 18 years ago...

It's clear that Peter White isn't going it for the money, but the love of the sport and the mountain. I remember reading a story when this news dropped, that when he sold is was under a condition (not exactly sure of the wording) that Glen remains open. The new owner sold it for much more to...

You kept moving the goal posts. I live in the East, I love my Eastern days. @jamesdeluxe has skied with me a few times in the East over a decade ago; was I bored or truly cherished those days? I don't think you can count anything when travel still had many huddles. In theory, I wasn't even...

Slippery slope extreme at work in 2008. Let's just say that time off during the 2005-11 generally equal to jumping thru a few hoops. I won't talk about it anymore. Again Summer was easier for me and didn't get any pushback from work or home. M raced from 2009-10 to 2012-13 with 2 ski season...

Complete stats since I turned 16. First season is from 1981-82. Graduated from High School in 1983. I'll respond to replies, but I have a few things on my plate prior to my Saturday departure for Australia.

I found the info and seen pictures, there is a website. Rope tow is run by the South Africa Ski Club (name?). Club and skiing started in the 1930s. https://matroosberg.com/snow-boarding/

Same places? Not really. I've skied 136 different areas since I started my ski streak. Just in the first 1.5yr of the pandemic was I severely limited in travel to other provinces/regions without mentioning countries. Normal NA season doesn't count, how about June-Oct? 60 different areas...

Since Caroline and I have been together... all trips to Europe have been as a family, always a minimum of three weeks. One kid easier, two kids without missing school impossible. Serious $$$ once Tara was born in Nov 2002. 1992-93, 1995, 1998, 2000-01, 2003, 2011, 2015, 2019. Then you had the...

I can't wait to hear from you guys if I go skiing in South Africa one summer? ;) Tail wagging or legit trip?

September 7, 2020 - Skied fresh snow in Highwood Pass in Kananaskis, no trace of snow prior to that snow accumulation. Yes, I counted the day in the previous season.
