    2/3-2/4/22 Storm - Will it Deliver Bigly?

    Jesus some of the totals bandied about are season changing. I'd be happy with a foot+ but reports are for 20+inches. I've heard whispers of 2+ feet Not much wind forecasted either so everyone gets to play. Looks to hit all of ski country as well

    Powdr is going FastPass at Copper, K, Snowbird and Bachelor

    From WSJ article 10/9/21 Snippet I guess they have already been doing this stuff at copper for a while? They release more details 10/12. I wonder who has to pony up the extra $. I'm sure Ikon is on the list. Are premium season pass holders going to have to pony up more dough?

    Does it always piss hot rain right before or on Christmas in eastern ski country or does if just seem that way?

    looks like thunderstorms on the way for most of ski country on Xmas. Fuck you 2020! Yes I know things could change and we'll probably get some snow on the backside. Really disappointing and this might be the only window for the kids to ski this season with VTs travel restrictions unless...

    Family spent 5 days skiing and riding Big Sky this week. It was a low tide year for Big Sky this season until around February 1st this year and they have received 80'' this month which was enough to cover most of the rocks and open up everything except for the sketchiest chutes off of the...

    1st out west trip with wife and kids (6 and 10 years old). Myself, I haven't been out west in 15+ years. After 2 years of melt downs in the east during winter vacations, I promised everyone we would head west for snow this year. We weren't dissapointed. IKON passholders. Wasatch was a no...

    Bolton Valley question

    Never been to BV. Thinking about possibly heading there this Sat. Are they generally aggressive in opening terrain ? I am assuming with 72" of snow this month they could open alot of terrain. Are they the type of place that will err on the side of caution or the type of place that will...

    I drove up late Thursday night. I have been missing out the past couple of weeks and had to get up to see what if all the reports were true? Was it really all time? Never ending snow? I was worried on the drive up. Not much snow on the ground even in Brattleboro. I felt better when I got...
