Man, you nailed this ChrisC... I've personally noticed with many of my GenZ & millennial clients, as well as those in the wild that begin MANY statements with: "I feel like" ________ statement: Sure its 100% verifiable garbage, but its doesn't matter as long as "they feel" its true; and its...

Well, I do live in Madison so this makes sense. . Its of no wonder, when I travel, particularly skiing with googles on my nose, making my voice even more nasally....everyone first assumes I'm from Canada...which I suppose isn't the worse thing to lean into at times! * For the record, I'm a...

Man, awesome detail of this @ChrisC Thanks for the report!

I'm guessing this wasn't in reference to Bobby! LOL . amazing show.

See: Central Pangean Mountains. (or maybe you knew this already), But kinda interesting.

eh, 100% sure he was being facetious.

https://www.gormanusa.com/development/ My oldest friend actually works at the home office here in Madison (Oregon) WI. One aspect of their business is housing in high dollar areas for the workforce at seasonal places like ski resorts. I do not remember all the nuts and bolts, but they source...

oh nice, good to know about the controlled but wild! Davos/Klosters was a close contender but A-L seemed to get more love from you guys plus some other forums I saw.

Arosa w/ Lenzerheide sampler One of the main reasons I decided to come to Graubunden was not only the plethora of skiing ; but I also really wanted to fold another ingredient into this exploratory trip The train. I chose Arosa mainly because everyone on FTO had good things to say about it...

After leaving Vorarlberg Thursday afternoon, I arrived in Chur and found my hotel. For a few of the things I read and saw about Chur being a dump and dirty* so I was not expecting much more than a jump off point and kinda lamented on staying there once I entered the outskirts, but I ended up...

100% agreed on this. I have a reference to this on my Arosa report I'll try to post later today. Big picture, leaving some untracked-untracked at the same time as keeping my knees INTACT is my default. All of the small powder skiing ive done has been in light, dry virgin snow and the cut/chop I...

Boom! I had the Pistenknuller bookmarked from a while back. It was the last day it was available (Jan 31st) for this part of the season. I was able to get it and even told a kid in the parking lot about it who never heard of it…pro tips from gringo to local, gotta love that. Except they...

I did not… And as long as you mentioned it…I did goto to Golm for three hours on Thursday. Not much of a report. So I’ll just notate it here. Was a pretty monochrome day there now two days removed from the rain and snow. Visibility was really flat at times and never got above good. Pistes...

Today was a day removed after downpours and 8-10 inches of terribly wet and heavy snow. I was wondering how that combined with elevation and aspect would play a role in the conditions as is talked about here so often. I was not expecting it to be great. That said I am not a snow purist either...

Inbound. I promise. I pretty much wrapped it up today skiing wise…i honestly didn’t do as much as planned but I’ll use the Iron Mike Tyson quote to sum it up: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. But here in a new / good way. 100% get TRs going…it’s been kinda of a lot...

No ditch…just that bad. That slop is snow tire kryptonite. The tread gets packed with ice..the roads driven over enough to pack it down…ice on ice. I’d go to Schruns if I could get there, and back for that matter, one drama is good for one day. Waiting game at this point.. As u said, part of...

Day two here not off to the best of starts; my worst nightmares are coming to fruition. 1. An absolute slopfest…prob a foot of mashed potatoes out there. I didn’t think it could get worse than I experienced in Schweitzer a few years ago that sent me packing after three runs. Think again, jokes...

I went as far as Kropfen lift. After that it was mostly WROD all the way to schruns hochjoch bahn …I saw people on it from town yesterday but it was a solid pass for me. Snow was non existent basically from the tree line down

Several years after the initial inquiry into skiing the alps and similarly several pushes and ultimately cancellations for a myriad of reasons: Conditions, Covid outbreak, flight cancellations to name a few…the time finally came. MSN-ORD-ZRH..boom… a total of 90 seconds in security, about the...
