Interesting. I'm not a subscriber to MassLive and just found it from a general search. The first view I could read the entire article.

The Black Mountain April Fool's definitely was believed for a while by some people. Apparently there was more than one story related to Mad River Glen in VT. Took me a few paragraphs to start laughing at Stuart's story. New England stories, April 3, 2026...

Didn't know Killington had such a long history for April Fools. April 1, 2026 https://vtdigger.org/2026/04/01/a-parking-dragnet-turns-out-to-be-a-sweet-surprise/

Wolf Creek had 19 inches of fresh snow as of 9am this morning. The Horseshoe snowcat (free) was running. Given the state of the rest of Colorado, I bet there are some people considering a drive south this week. Lift tickets are Adults $70, Seniors 65+ $51, and kids for $35 because the rest of...

Wolf Creek opened up 100% of their terrain at 9:00 this morning, April 2. The initial Snow Report at 6:00am had Knife Ridge and Horseshoe Bowl as closed. An updated email blast was sent out at 9:20 MT or I wouldn't have known.

My Idaho ski safari in March 2025 was based on starting in SLC and using Ikon and Indy. I often meet up with Bill in SLC. He will drive anywhere from Albuquerque for a ski trip out west if someone else does the travel planning. We were joined by an intermediate Ski Diva from the east in SLC...

The Alta Lodge webcam shows the line for Collins and Wildcat. There weren't many people in line for Collins at 8:45 this morning. The storm total on the Alta website was 19 inches by 10am. April 2, 2026 at 10am MT:

Still snowing at Alta as of this morning. The snow conditions report on the Alta website gets updated every few hours during a multi-day snowstorm. Totals get adjusted as needed. I fly to SLC on Sunday morning. Screenshots are from Alta website the morning of April 2, 2026. First report...

The stat comparison of interest to me would be the number of nights with a low above 32 degrees in March 2026 in the Rockies and along the Pacific coast, including Tahoe. The degree of melt in the past few weeks, combined with lack of new snow seems very unusual. The two mountains I've skied...

Hope it works out well. Evan was happier having potential snowfall to talk about. I arrive at Alta Lodge on April 5.

It feels right to add a link to Stuart's jaunt to check out small hills in Maine in January 2026. Plenty of driving for a few hours of skiing, with quite a few runs based on surface lifts. He included several video clips. March 27, 2026...

Not really comparable if you are talking about the Crystal top leader vs the Vail Resort CEO before Katz took over again. Operational leadership and corporate leadership are quite different. I say that based on experience working for 15 years for a company after grad school. It was a startup...

Of all the resorts owned by Alterra, the one that seems to has had the most issues that make headlines outside the PacNW is Crystal. As of this week, Crystal has a new President, a promotion of a VP. The last President was also a promotion of a VP, which happened a few years ago. I paid...

My experience with warm spring conditions at Alta is that it helped to wax skis every 2-3 days. However, after I started treating my skis with Phantom Glide, there was no need to think about waxing during late season trips. Or any other ski trip. In the first couple years after the Phantom...

Can't hurt to talk to any of the Snowbird Mountain Hosts you see after dropping off your daughter at ski school. There is usually one outside when you get off the tram. That's the sort of weather where you almost have to go to know. And take it slow the first time down any run. How do you...

The ownership organization has taken a step further. Bear Den is now the official owner of Berkshire East and Catamount, in addition to Burke and Smuggler's Notch. The Schaefer brothers and the current GMs remain in place. The financial arrangements going forward will make planning for future...

Taos announced that March 29 will be Closing Day.

A Ski Diva friend who has a place at Sunday River expects to have a good time skiing today, March 22.

Believe it or not, there are people who don't have a passport and don't want to pay to get one. ;)

Perhaps for 1-2 people. Not so easy when the group is 4-5 adults, a few of whom are working. They also play golf. So had a good time in SLC skiing and playing golf on the same day. This particular group are not the type who are up for international travel.
