As mentioned in another thread, for a person who never made a living as a motor vehicle driver, I've done quite a few cross country drives over the years, perhaps 25 involving 5000 or more miles? The majority were associated with ski trips, but many in the off-season too. It occurred to me it...

Saw a recent post by @Kingslug20 that he may set a PR this year and reach 100 ski days. I only ski about 50 or 60 days, but also hit a PR last year of 61 as an older guy. I get the sense that this site has a lot of hardcore older skiers. I'm curious about you older guys who ski north of 50...

What's your best memory from last winter that's kept you psyched for skiing during the off-season? Thought this would be a good topic as the next ski season ain't far away now! Usually for me it's something good that happened on my last ski day or nearly last ski day: May 6, 2022 (two days...

I'm down with Covid right now, so thought I'd take the opportunity to report on my recent successful (and first ever) visit to Mammoth Mtn, CA. My wife and I made the 550 mile/9 hour drive from Salt Lake City to Mammoth on 14 Apr 22. It was a super remote drive through central NV with over 400...

I had a really nice day skiing at Brighton yesterday. The snow was great, about one foot of fresh in previous 24 hrs. A local friend showed me some off-the-groom areas. While we were skiing one called the Rock Garden some talented snowboarders dropped in and were ripping it up. Here are four...

Seems like I helped steer another thread off topic by interjecting a discussion of Chick-fil-A and fast food. so I started this new thread. What's your favorite fast food joint or casual restaurant? I like Five Guys for fast food. I wouldn't have said this a few years ago because I was...

Anybody tele here? I got to ski with a really good one today at Brighton. It was a beautiful day. This is Daniel, age 66.

I saw in another thread that member @Tonyr and family were having an all time best ski season for total ski days. Was the pandemic good or bad for your skiing! Or did we already do that topic? I've heard some amazing stories riding chairlifts this winter at Snowbird. Some people are having...

There's got to be some others on here of Irish descent or wannabe Irish:alien: Post a photo of something green, your ski jacket, your favorite glade in spring, your favorite green beer, your face after too much green beer? Easy for me, I bought a green ski jacket in 2012 and I'm still wearing...

How will your behavior change in the post-covid world, near term and long term? I'm speaking about skiing stuff, but also everyday life. Everyday stuff: I have discovered free grocery store curbside pick-up. There is a supermarket near me that will do your shopping for you for free. Just...

Congrats Pats. On to the SuperBowl. Wow, what a Championship Sunday for the NFL. First time ever both games went to OT. Tom Brady =

Anybody else having problems with this feature? Everytime I try to use it I get a database error message?

Oldest and youngest ages for pass pulled by ski patrol? A post in the bra tree thread made me think of this topic... I don't want to glamorize misbehavior or disparage ski patrollers (who I greatly respect for looking out for us), but it might be humorous to see who on AZ has had their pass...

2017-18 Western ski plans. Don't want to offend the dedicated Eastern skiers here (hope you guys have a blast at Sugarloaf Mar 9-11), but it seems like there are a lot of folks on this board making trips to the West. Curious, anyone care to share their approximate western travel schedule...

We've seen a lot of ski retailers go under in recent years. Seems like many regular, large retailers have or will soon go under. Death watch in 2017 includes Penney's, Sears, Men's Wearhouse/Jos A. Bank, Casual Male, and a bunch of women's wear shops. When/Where is this going to end? I'm...

Incredible. I turned it off not long after half time. Fortunately I turned it back on late in 4th to see history being made. You guys in New England enjoy. You'll be telling your great grandchildren about this one.

I skied six days last week (Jan 21-28, 2017) in Utah in the best snow conditions of my life; five days at Snowbird, one at Park City. Here are my five fav pics (and one vid) all from Snowbird days on the trip. Jan 22: A friend in trees off Gadzoom chair. Jan 24: My son in trees near Mach...

Inspired by DLague's recent post. Anybody want to post their own arguable list of ski areas or list of other things relating to skiing/snowboarding? Five things, ten things, whatever. Here is mine. I like pretty much all ski areas including many popular and conventional ones. But then there...

How many were heavy facebook users and now no longer log-in or log-in very little? Interesting post from slopefillers.com: http://www.slopefillers.com/social-media-usage-2/ Aimed at ski marketing types, but touches on a universal issue about excessive facebook time cutting into an...

Skiing better than ever? Curious, how many of you think you are skiing better than ever? As an older guy I definitely have NO ILLUSIONS about being over the hill. It's kind of maddening to have to stop and suck wind after only 100 yards of aggressive skiing. 50 if out west at altitude:-) I...
