    Cancel Ski Trip?

    We're (wife and I) are supposed to head out from Idaho (by road) for a week on Feb 11 and hit 49*N, Red Mtn and Whitewater. It's not looking good with the recent stretch of very warm temps, rain and lackluster bases'. Looks to get colder over the next week, but not a lot of new snow. That...

    Brundage Mtn AND Tamarack, ID announce expansion plans

    Just last week, Brundage announced plans to expand terrain, and add overnight lodging as well. If done right, I think it will be a good idea. Brundage is seeing increased visitation from the explosion of population in ID over the last several years. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2021/01/ ...

    Your thoughts on Telluride?

    I hope to go there in a month or so with my MC Pass to see for myself what the mountain is like, (albeit in a poor snow year). I have expressed some interest to the wife about looking into property near Ridgway perhaps in a couple years, so it would be considered my home mountain if we did move...

    Grand Targhee, WY 1/2/14

    Well, I finally made it back on the mountain after my Dec 3rd crash, which left me with a concussion and 3+ weeks of headaches. With help from the chiropractor, I haven't had a headache in 4 days, so decided it was time to get back on the saddle. With the holiday crowds starting to wind down...

    Grand Targhee, WY 12/3/13

Although, we only got about 22" out of this storm (2-3 ft predicted)... it was still nice to get more base and obviously some powder. Went up for a couple hours this...

    President's week crowds at SLC area resorts...?

    Several yrs ago, I was at the Bird on Presidents weekend, and it wasn't "that" busy. I don't remember liftlines being anything more than a few minutes at most. I don't know what the other places were like though as I was staying exclusively at The Bird . The lady and I are considering coming...

    Is Sundance worth a visit?

    So I've been to several of the ski areas in the general SLC area, and I'm coming back with the lady sometime this winter for probably a week, to hit the rest I've not been to(Powder Mtn and Brighton) and a re-visit for me to Snowbasin and the Bird and maybe PC).
