    Pretty sure I rode these same chairs at Grand Targhee, not sure if they are still there.

    Looks great! Did Laz say anything about a shuttle or at least pickup with a bench?

    Park City Ski Patrol Strike

    Vail should have at least paid the patrollers what they wanted during the holiday break to stop the strike, and then (right or wrong) picked the fight in January. Yeah ski resorts can't control nature, I don't blame Whistler for the worst ski trip I ever took because there was no snow, but this...

    Magic Carpets - The Most Dangerous Lift on the Mountain?

    I'm starting to get my 4 year old on skis and have been riding the Magic Carpet for perhaps the first time in my life. Did either Sterling Forest or Vernon Valley have them in the late 80s? I feel like there were rope tows and very short chairlifts to access the learning areas? I don't know...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Where are they located? I used the chargers at Catamount but they are at the farthest possible location from the lifts/lodge. It worked for my needs only because we were there for dinner at the Little Cat restaurant, but if I were skiing I'd be annoyed. I feel like this is a problem with...

    "TF Jenkins, a managing director at a Florida-based wealth management firm," .... "Going forward, Jenkins said he will only ski at smaller, family-owned resorts. "There may be a little more driving because they don't necessarily have lodging right next to the mountain, but I would rather...

    Park City Ski Patrol Strike

    That might be true here in the East Coast where there are plenty of 20 somethings willing to live in low cost of living towns and don't need experience with Avy mitigation, or people willing to do it more for fun then the income. But in serious mountains like PCMR/Canyons, in HCOL places, labor...

    Beautiful day today, the natural trails off the double were fantastic. Even though I asked about it above, I only skied North once at around 11:30,. It needed a few more grooms.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Did this trip again in 25 degree weather and took a 10% range hit. Still enough to not have to super charge. That about what you guys experience?
