    2021-22 Season Plans & Delta Variant

    I did not get a refund. I contacted them but they said that you have to apply within 30 days of the event. I had not applied and I knew it would be a lot of work to apply for the refund with no guarantee of getting it. I simply gave up as I was busy trying to balance work/family with my...

    2021-22 Season Plans & Delta Variant

    Spokane flights are on Southwest so if the conditions are not good, we will drop the trip. I plan to book lodging last minute as I don't think those are peak dates. We might end up doing Kirkwood or Heavenly instead last minute. I agree with Spokane for a President's day week trip, and I might...

    2021-22 Season Plans & Delta Variant

    I made some advanced trip plans for this season and hoping covid won't ruin it this time. I didn't ski last season for a variety of reasons. I'm on Epic Pass next season. Trips planned for next season Christmas and New Year: Park City. I know there is snow risk but we have some non-skiers in...

    The Future of FTO

    Just logged in today after a while to read up on some content. I think I might submit a trip report or two this season since it's a bit easier in this forum software. Thank you for upgrading it. I don't have much to contribute but I really find the information here quite valuable.

    Unimpressive Start to 20/21 Ski Season

    You are making me feel better about not having a single ski day this season so far. I'm hopeful that I can do a weeklong trip to Heavenly in Feb and Kirkwood in March. I hope the lodging provider doesn't cancel our reservations like they did for MLK weekend.

    And so it begins.... 20-21 snowmaking season starts

    Heavenly's website shows 55 inches YTD. So is that enough snow to open the terrain you quoted? How much has been the contribution of snowmaking?

    Bariloche, Argentina Scenic Tour, Dec. 15, 2020

    Nice report Tony. I have heard Bariloche is a very German/Swiss town based on spy thriller by Daniel Silva. https://www.audible.com/pd/A-Death-in-V ... B002V57RIU I have read that the economy in Argentina has been struggling for decades. How are the prices in Argentina? Can you have a luxury...

    And so it begins.... 20-21 snowmaking season starts

    It's staggering how different the numbers are for areas within 50 miles of each other. I feel fortunate that we had decided to skip a ski trip this Xmas.

    Epic & Ikon Insurance: CA/VT closed

    Great info. If things don't improve and they don't offer group lessons in Feb, I will be going that route. I see your post above where the stay at home orders for CA are < 30 days.

    Epic & Ikon Insurance: CA/VT closed

    I'm regretting my Tahoe Local pass purchase this season. I had a reservation at Kirkwood for Xmas that I canceled a month ago. I have a one-week reservation for Heavenly in Feb and a week at Kirkwood in March. If I get to go I will get my money's worth out of the pass (around 13 to 15 days) but...

    2020 location tactics.

    Thanks for this info.. I was thinking about a trip here this season but it's not gonna happen as they are not offering lessons for kids. Now, I'm looking at winter 2022 last week of Feb for a trip to Brundage.

    2020 location tactics.

    I will look into places that will offer lessons. We don't know if school will be remote in January so we cannot plan a January trip. A lot of options for January. But for December I only felt comfortable buying a pass for Targhee. Brundage website says: I might not be able to do any family...

    2020 location tactics.

    Thanks for this list Tony. I was planning a trip to Grand Targhee for December but they have cancelled lessons for kids < 6 years old. Tubing hill will be closed as well. So now I have to decide where we should go from Nov 30 to Dec 26. We don't want to ski after Dec 26th as there will be more...

    VIDEO: Grand Targhee, WY - 1/18-20/2020

    I have been showing this video to some friends so we can go on a long trip here in the coming season. If we are going to be working remotely, might as well work from an uncrowded place. If anyone has any contacts here to rent a place for 1 month or more, please let me know.

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    I have decided to get the Tahoe Local version of the Epic Pass next season. I was debating whether to buy a pass at an independent mountain like Sierra-at-Tahoe or Mt. Rose. Beginner terrain at Kirkwood and intermediate at Heavenly is the best fit for my family right now. Plus being able to find...

    Tracking Skiing Stats

    How do you do that? That's one of the craziest things a skier can do. Does he write any trip reports?

    What makes these mountains more conducive than others? Not too many flat areas? I looked up and read about this guy. What an amazing character. https://www.summitdaily.com/sports/bob- ... this-year/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJQHZ0d4aes In this video, he says he works out every morning...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    I hope Mt. Rose doesn't go on Ikon. I'd be happy to pay again for the Rose pass again as I like ski areas with no base villages. I had a great time there for a this season. I thought Ikon locations were more for experts. For intermediates like me, the Epic pass locations are better. That's why...
