    Belleayre Conditions

    That's an informative website -- I wish it'd been around when I was a kid. In my early teens, I played hockey with Oren Lyons' son Rex at the State Fair Coliseum (he quickly supplanted me as the top scorer on our team!). It was clear that Oren was a regional celebrity because there would always...

    Belleayre Conditions

    Impressive how many comments like this people have been posting in recent years. I guess that throwing enough snowmaking resources at the problem actually works? The people of Syracuse would like a word with you. 🧐

    Toggenburg, CH: 12/17/23

    By Sunday, my sixth and final ski day of this inaugural 2023-24 trip, various early-season aches and pains in my legs and hips had become more pronounced, so I took my time getting out of the hotel and didn't arrive at my destination, Toggenburg, until 10:30 am. Of course, CNYers know Toggenburg...

    St. Moritz/Corviglia, CH: 12/15/23

    I'm such a dork that I've kept track of Alps gateway airports (below) since my first ski visit across the pond in 2003 -- it appears to be 22 trips. Thank goodness for frequent-flyer miles. Zurich: 11 Geneva: 5 Milan: 2 Innsbruck: 1 Salzburg: 1 Nice: 1 Munich: 1 No question, that would have...

    St. Moritz/Corviglia, CH: 12/15/23

    The stars finally aligned on Friday with clear blue skies at south-facing Corviglia and lots of leftovers from Wednesday's storm. Finally, on my fourth ski day there across two visits, this was the first time that I was able to actually see where I was going! Google Maps measures it at 5 miles...

    St. Moritz/Corvatsch, CH: 12/14/23

    Most winters, I start off my season by heading out to what most would consider a sure thing snow-wise, Solitude; however, as the comparative low-tide conditions in the Wasatch didn't seem to be rectifying sufficiently, I rebooked my flights in the opposite direction to a place that was having a...

    I'm heartened to see that they're continuing to use the old-school bunny logo.

    The Mouse Thread

    Thomas caught the (tiny) field mouse in our kitchen last night and brought it to me while I was watching The Godfather. I walked it 100 yards from our house and let it go to fight another day.

    The Poconos Club: East Stroudsburg PA - 10/21/23 (golf)

    Arcadia Bluffs looks stunning. Four hours from Detroit and five hours from Chicago: that'll keep the big-city crowds down.

    Football

    The curse will continue until they revert back permanently to the classic original logo.

    Football

    Four turnovers and it would've been five if not for a very fortunate fumble bounce. Glad to see that the Donkeys have turned their season around, unlike the Giants. Looking forward to the 2023 Toilet Bowl against the Patriots!

    ^^ You guys do that type of feature with your eyes closed. It would be an instant trip to the hospital for me.
