Great to "see" a slice of Dubai and Kashmir thru your lens!

People that end up skiing alone in the woods where the monkeys live are sometimes attacked... seriously...

Did anyone fill you in on the Stamford Chimpanzee incident when you were away?

The day i actually remembered it - my GPS was showing 13,600 at the highest on a hike.. We hiked higher then that during the week.
Hotel was 8,500
Gondi started at 8,600
Midstation was 10,000
Top was at 12,900

So thats close to 3000' vert on the top gondola... Or the alpine area...
a run off the high ridge is 2 miles to the middle station...

There is now grooming per say... the "groom" 2 trails from the mid station to the bottom but the trail is as wide as the groomer and is filled with people lower down...

You can hire kids to carry skis if you don't feel like using the gondola...

I vote this best TR of the year-maybe ever on this board. that ridge looks absolutely pasted with snow!!!
