I spent a day hiking around northstar. It looks pretty flat to me....maybe not as bad as it's hyped to be.
Sugar Bowl looks pretty good....
I won a bona-fide 3-day, 4-night ski trip for two this next season out west, from a bona-fide ski operator. Anybody want to be my friend now?
just made the arrangements for the x-mas family ski trip this winter....and it's someplace new. will be heading to Les Carroz d'Arâches in the french alps, between geneva and chamonix. family friendly, small, relaxed, with tons of activities for the kids and an authentic village for the wife, while also being part of the giant Grand Massif ski domain.
You'll have a great time. Don't miss a visit to Samoens, perhaps for dinner (great restaurants). Another highlight is the Cascade trail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Massif#Classic_cascades_run including the refuge lunch which involves a ride up via snowmobile - they drag you behind it with ropes, like waterskiing - hysterically fun!
