Property owner living just off Brighton's property pulls shotgun on snowboarder, shoves him, says he can defend his property, and threatens to "fill (him) with holes" if he snowboards onto his property again (Tiktok link below). Seems pretty reasonable. Reportedly this "event" took place on...

Door to door - with overnight stops in Ohio, Iowa, and Wyoming. Something like 29 or 30 hours of drive time. I'll still check in here as I'll always want to know how all ski things are going out east!

Curious what the typical annual cost is for kid's group lessons? I'm not counting equipment, just a "ski season" program where your kid goes every Saturday or Sunday for like a 2hr or 3hr group session. When I worked at Stowe Ski School in the Jurassic Period, we had those & I know they're...

Curious given the significant experience on this board up & down the east coast where some of the best places are to teach little ones? I spent a number of years working at a well-regarded ski school so I take this subject pretty seriously & realize it can really be a make or break deal...

This snuck up on us. It's like when your favorite hockey or basketball team is treading .500, and you go away on vacation or business a few weeks & they rattle off 10 games in a row to be back in playoff contention. This 28"'ish storm put us from a 10" below-average season, to a 18" above...

Insurance company runs test & finds skiers 43% more likely to crash after boozing. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/ski-holiday-injuries-drinking-alcohol-slopes-british-insurance-a9232156.html

This is one of those things I've wondered about many times, so I thought this article was interesting enough to post. https://snowbrains.com/the-ticket-wicket-do-you-wicket-your-ticket/?fbclid=IwAR2QMyZjumjn08zE9-oY_bXF6nq0y3Sl_fy4Opu6CUUK8YZgrb1PV3CcQwM

Does anyone know why this website goes down every other day & remains down for hours? I'd PM Nick & ask, but I'm pretty sure he now lives on some remote Pacific island with no internet connection.

I find it odd a handful of us are having this conversation last week, and this article drops this morning. I think we have an U.N. lurker. Hey Vail, Please Don't Buy Smugglers Notch Resort - September 9, 2018...

I don't think I'll ever use the term, "no fall zone" so cavalierly, ever again. https://www.powder.com/stories/news/polish-skier-makes-first-successful-descent-of-k2/

This might be so niche is gets no replies, but does anyone have experience with multiple brands of ski vises? Looking for recommendations, as there's very little available on-line, and most of what I can find are obviously (in actuality) advertisements disguised as reviews.

I'm wondering if there's really a major recreational difference between a universal ski wax you'd use from say.... 5 degrees to 35 degrees temperature, versus the performance you'd get using a temperature specific wax in 3-13 degree, 14-24 degree , 25-35 degree ranges? Of course I know for ski...

Very sad. A reminder of how dangerous downhill racing and those high speeds can be. :( David Poisson, French Olympic skier, dies in training accident aged 35 https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/nov/13/david-poisson-french-olympic-skier-dies-in-training-accident-aged-35

Looks like we may get a big one. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/26/bali-volcano-eruption-seismic-activity-mount-agung?CMP=share_btn_tw

Denver was selected as one of the 10 Hyperloop route winners from > hundreds of entrants. Part of the system would include a Denver to Vail spoke which would take only 9 minutes. https://hyperloop-one.com/global-challenge

So as I'm frequently inclined to do in the off-season, I bought another pair of used skis cheaply yesterday. These are from the 2016 demo fleet, and it got me thinking, why aren't all bindings (except specialized or high-end racing) mounted on demo rails? I've been on many pairs of skis over...

I'm breaking one of my ski vacation commandants, which is, "thou shalt not book a trip outside of 1 month", due to the fact that I procured a mid-April week of insanely cheap lodging in the Vail Village. Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite me in the posterior. I'll be able to get 6 days...

This sad story serves as a reminder to stay close to your tree-skiing buddies when the woods get deep. RIP. http://www.wcax.com/story/34514292/snowboarding-death-illustrates-dangers-of-deep-snow

Is anyone else having problems typing, posting, editing? About a week ago this started on multiple computers I use whereby the typing is slow and lagging, editing posts may or may not work, copy/paste may or may not work, etc..... A whole host of problems.

Many AZ'ers have vouchers, lift tickets, BOGOs, etc. that they either cant or wont use during the course of the season. This is a ticket swap thread, so it shouldn't get cluttered with tons of posts like the "Skiing on the Cheap" thread does. Please make sure to list ALL restrictions...
