    Slab Avalanches at Jay

    LMAO!!!! Ironic, this is one of our not so good years and we now have to worry about avalanches. What's the world coming to??? ;)

    Hunter death

    As someone who used to be a bouncer, it's a tough job. I really don't know anything about this situation as I've not had time to read up on it. I can tell you people are (typically) jerks when they're drinking in a bar. They give the bar tenders, other people and bouncers a hard time. The...

    Internet Access in Lake Tahoe

    Cool beans. I'm sure he won't have a problem either. I was just there in April but I wasn't looking for access then. :)

    Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

    Hmm, I think there aren't a lot of people who really can consider this to be an average to an above average season. The season started off well. We had our mountain 100% open by Christmas. That doesn't happen very often. Then, the warm weather and rain came... Basically, the pattern has been...

    Whistler Blackcomb breaks 25 year old record

    I went there about 5 years ago. They were having a rough year (in their eyes) still great skiing by a NEer's standards. Been trying to get back there since. Was planning my last hurrah for this year before the baby comes at the end of Feb. I had planned on going back to Tahoe since I love it...

    Internet Access in Lake Tahoe

    Ah. I was searching for Internet Cafe. Thanks for the tip!

    Internet Access in Lake Tahoe

    I'm sick of no snow around here so I'm going to Tahoe. :) Anyway, my buddy must have Internet access. The hotel we're staying at does not offer it. I was just there in April but I wasn't looking for Internet Cafes. Just wondering if any of you know of a place where my buddy can hook in every...

    HS Detachable vs. Fixed Grip

    I know it's been commented on but I'll add my two cents. Bad for the industry!!?? Not sure I see a reason why they're bad for the industry at all. Even if you believe in the argument put forth here that detaches cause longer lift lines That's not really bad for the industry. Anyway, I think...

    This weather SUCKS!!!

    Well, this past weekend was a rough one. Saturday wasn't TERRIBLE except for the fact we lost a lot of the mountain to the rains. Lots of snow but thin cover in a lot of places. Closed a few trails. It was warm enough for the bumps to be very Spring-ish and soft. Then it started to rain around...

    This weather SUCKS!!!

    My only, "advertisement," if you will. I do mortgages (in PA as well) if you need advice on a mortgage for your house. Enough said. I skied Kirkwood when I was there in April. Great mountain with great people. I will be doing at least one day there. I checked and Heavenly has gotten bombed over...

    This weather SUCKS!!!

    I know, just had to get it off my chest. The worst part is, my ski season is already cut short as my wife is due with our 2nd child in early April (and that may be moved up into March). I am going out to Tahoe in late Feb. I haven't checked their conditions in the last couple of weeks but it...

    Tell me about Belleayre

    The Beast has run during the week but I don't know if it's running during the week right now. You can check the website to be sure. Be careful poaching over there. You're not allowed. You know I have to say that... Enjoy!

    Yes, give us some details. One of us may be interested in buying it from you.

    Tell me about Belleayre

    :::rubbing hands together::: What would you like to know? I patroll there and can tell you lots of things about the mountain. I second the, "stick to the top of the mountain thing," theme--if you can. The skiing on lower is great if you're just starting out but it's much better from the top...

    Bode's Olympic ideal: winning no medals!?!?!

    Honestly, I really don't care much about what he says or does on his own time. In this day of over exposed celebrities, I just watch him race because, as someone said, he's the best damn alpine racer in the world. Being that does not mean he has to be a certain person. Yeah yeah, role models...

    Sterling Forest Ski Center - Closing?

    That's correct. They are not operating this year. Mt. Peter is open this year, however.

    Some pictures from day #1 at Copper...

    I'm drooling here. That second pic gives a great idea of how steep that is. Wish I was there with ya!

    Stolen Snowboard

    I also take one of those paint pens you can buy and I put my name on my skis and poles. This way, if someone takes something, I may be able to ID it if I catch them around somewhere.

    Dangers Microsoft OS Vulnerability

    Well, I'm a Mac-lover/Windoze-hater but these problems come from two things: 1. The popularity of Windoze. Doesn't make much sense to go after the smaller fish when you can get a much bigger bang with the biggest fish. 2. MS has always been lax with their security in their OSes. Still can't...
