Apparently, both JH and Targhee closed their lifts yesterday, for a while, because of thunder and lightening in the area. How often does that happen in February in the Tetons? Crazy warm Winter out west. It will be interesting to see if they will break weather records for high temps over the...

https://archive.is/hgpmz Interesting story on the "sinister underbelly" at ski resorts. It is from the "Daily Mail", so take it with the proverbial grain of salt!

53 degrees (F) here this morning in southern New England with heavy rain and very high winds. Yesterday, it looked the frozen arctic around here with completely snow-covered ground and now this morning, we have green grass in our back yard and much of the snow has melted away overnight. UGH...

From the webcams, it looks like GT has gotten enough snow in the past few days, so that some people are skinning up and skiing back down. It does look a little thin in places, thought.

My wife and daughter surprised me last night by telling me that my combined birthday/Christmas gift this year will be treating me to a late February/early March trip to Banff to ski with my daughter. My 28-year old daughter who lives in Montreal has already planned some of the trip and made a...

Not sure where to put this and, mods, feel free to move to another thread; but an interesting study on changes in the Winter polar vortex and how that has affected Winter weather in the US. It does explain the lack of any real snow storms in the Northeast for the past few Winters...

I don't know how many people saw this news story but a section of Teton Pass between Jackson Hole and Driggs, Idaho catastrophically failed in a major disaster. It's truly frightening when you see the photos of the total collapse of the underlying road structure. Amazing that no one was hurt...

https://www.grandtarghee.com/the-mountain/cams-conditions/webcams Webcam from the Grand Targhee base at 4:30 PM (EST) on 5/23/24. Over a foot of new snow in the past 24 hours. Not sure of the consistency of the snow but they are now allowing uphill traffic on the mountain.

Drove up to Montreal on Sunday to visit my daughter and we skied at Mt. Tremblant on Monday, March 4. It was strange driving up interstate 87 (the “Northway”) through the Adirondacks because there was no snow at the lower elevations, not even piles of snow on the side of the road, from plowing...

Just looked at the webcams for Grand Targhee. Snowing moderately hard there today and still looks like mid-winter. They've closed for the season but are allowing uphill climbing. It's a shame that, in a snow year like this one, they close down so early but I guess they run out of paying...

Skied Hunter Mountain in New York today (12/21/22) with my daughter. Unlike the Berkshires about 60 miles to the East, where I live, Hunter and the other ski areas in the Catskills, got 12-18 inches of snow from the storm last weekend (it was 35 degrees and raining in the Berkshires) and it was...

Snowing heavily at Grand Targhee today (11/10/20). Already looks like fairly good coverage down to the base. From what I can see on the web cams, people are skinning up the trails and skiing down.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... nd=premium Interesting story on what some resorts in the Alps are doing to preserve snow from one season to the next. I wonder if US resorts might follow suit at some point in the future? My own local ski hill in southern NE does a somewhat modified...

https://wgby.org/slopes Very interesting watching, for anyone interested in the history of skiing in this country !!

http://www.jacksonhole.com/weather-snow-report.html The Jackson Hole resort may be shut down for 7 days! Apparently, they had a ferocious wind storm last night that knocked down the electric poles on the road to the resort. They have no electricity at the resort today and they're reporting it...

Interesting story today on Bloomberg about the financial debacle (and fraud) at Jay Peak. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016 ... n-kingdom/
