I dunno . . . still depends on the region. There are reasons why the Indy Pass list has grown as fast as it has.

Due to the lack of snowstorms and warm weather in Utah during early season, FIS is moving competitions planned for Deer Valley in mid-January to Lake Placid and Waterville Valley. Freestyle Aerials World Cup will be Jan. 11-12 at the LP Olympic Jumping Complex. Moguls and Dual Moguls will be...

The woman who I met at Alta Lodge when she was 90 did yoga every morning before breakfast. She was skiing Alta groomers for 1-2 hours every weekday. She wasn't a local, but had a special little room there for the first two weeks of every ski season month, plus the last three weeks of the...

The downside to swimming is that it doesn't help at all for bone building. Bone loss after a certain age is not only a problem for women. It happens for men too. That's a reason that a broken hip is a known risk for seniors.

Thanks! I'll pass the info along.

A bit of an odd question . . . my Cleveland ski buddy and another Ohio ski club member want to ski together on Dec. 22. Between Holiday Valley and Peek 'n Peak, which would have more open terrain for advanced skiers? The goal is for planning guided groups during a ski club trip to the European...

Having fun, but a bit odd at Wolf Creek this trip. Enough snow so 100% open as of Dec. 11, as has been the case the past four years. But unseasonably warm, meaning day time temps in the 30s. I should've brought a shell jacket and shell pants.

I'm in Missouri heading west towards Colorado. What I saw on the Weather Channel this morning eating breakfast was that Richmond, VA schools are having a snow day! Wintergreen opens today. Massanutten opens tomorrow. They made their announcements a few days ago. Will be plenty of snow on...

No problem for me . On Mac laptop using Safari. :) :unsure:❄️❄️❄️

Second the idea of acupuncture. If you have bruising and suspect a cracked rib, there is a Chinese herbal remedy that I've used more than once. Learned about it when my mother broke a leg at age 70. She healed far faster than the doctors expected at her age. PM me if you want details.

My standard brand alpine boots have moldable liners. Given how much I skied after buying them, lasted 3 seasons. Then I took the after-market Intuition liners from my old boots (only used 1 season) and had them re-molded for the second pair of boots. Note that changing out the liners made the...

Mad River Glen has embarked on yet another major fundraising campaign. The goal is to raise $2.5 million in donations, pledges, and grants during a period of 75 days. That's what it will take to want to buy the other 1100 acres that was also owned by Betsy Pratt when she sold the current...

A snowmaking pond cannot be drained completely. Plus given the shape of it, the amount of water when the level is low is probably far less than half the capacity. Given where the Jiminy Peak pond is located, it's pump capacity that matters for refilling the pond from water sources in the...
