Yes, the old man can still ski bumps but, a little slower and not as smooth. It's a great way to celebrate my birthday. Thanks for a great day Suds

I've been a pass holder for the last 14 years and today and yesterday were the best two consecutive days I've ever had at Gore. Thanks Harv and Suds

Great day, spring skiing doesn't get any better

3/24/15, I was greeted by 6 inches of light pow this morning and it snowed all day. Another great pow day! 3/25/15 Guess what? Another 6 inches last night and it filled in all of yesterdays tracks. Blue bird skies and and well over a foot from the last three days. Three consecutive days of...

Day 24, we finally got off piste again today with 3 inches of heavy snow that skied like 6-8. It's been 2 weeks that off piste skiing has been really bad and almost unskiable but today was a different story. I left the top lodge at 9:15 (lifts open at 9:00) and I was first down. Took groomers...

My corn strategy is lucky timimg and I don't like going early with spring conditions because frozen cord kind of sucks. Then again any snow is better than no snow. This is a view of Snowbasin I have to look at while eating breakfast. Tuesday I started out with a 4 mile hike and I went to the...

Pow Mow ski day 9 and 10, Sunday was another blue bird day. I arrived early and took a 9:30 cat ride up Lighting Ridge. My $15.00 cat ride What I didn't realize is how warm it got on Sat. afternoon, all of that nice untracked was crusted over. I'm glad I took the cat and had the experince...

Since Harvey made a thread out of this trip I'll back the bus up and tell you the story. Last March while eating at Basil and Wicks I decided to ask my lovely wife if she would mind if I went to Powder Mountain for the entire month of March. Much to my suprise she said,"Go ahead have fun". Well...
