    Winter Weather 20/21

    3-6 at whiteface...great skiing this morning. Summit opened. Lower Mac was open for maybe ten mins then closed it was thin in there but I think guns were on it when I left just now. This storm was perfect to turn things around quickly for today

    Greatest Lengths for a Day on the Hill

    I think it was 2002. I wasn't driving yet. 3ft late season storm (March maybe it was even April can't remember) my dad and I left NJ something like 2am, drove to Whiteface (~5.5hrs), skied, and drove home. I think it was 22hrs RT. Too bad for him I didn't have a license or even a permit yet...

    Lake Placid 1980 Winter Olympics

    I forgot to add - that was some computer they had there in the commercials at the end - pretty funny to watch in 2020.

    Lake Placid 1980 Winter Olympics

    Cool video - I like seeing the old chairlifts too...I feel like I remember the blue towers from the lift that’s now the facelift, I think it was a triple and a double chair combo. Would have been 10 years old or so by the time I was in it... I been around only since ‘86...if it’s the one I’m...

    Post Your Camp Pics

    Sweet - thanks for sharing. I like the re-purposing idea for it if you build the main house. You have running water to the place right now? What about a toilet?

    Post Your Camp Pics

    Harvey - seen pics of your place here on NYSB over the years, always thought it was a cool little build, but always curious what the inside layout is like. Have any interior pics you'd be willing to share? Would be interested in seeing what can be accomplished on a simple design like that. -Mike

    Today's Ride

    Which rock bridge!? There were so many cool features I can’t keep track! If it’s the one I may be thinking of, it came up quick and I guess I wasn’t paying attention, my buddy riding behind me also tailgating me, somehow we both made it over the thing...because it was a row of pretty big...

    iPhone Photos Rotated?

    Ok thanks - yes the best thing is to understand the phone needs to be held in a certain orientation...but unfortunately that doesn’t do any good for photos already taken...No big deal to manually rotate for one photo but this can be annoying for a full trip report.

    iPhone Photos Rotated?

    I have had issues on the old forum and now the new forum when posting from iPhone. The photos show up rotated depending on how the phone was held when taking the photos, it can impact the rotation when uploading. They appear right side up in your photo stream, but I guess if the original photo...

    Old Forum Migration and Greatest Hits

    Not that my TRs are all that hall of fame worthy, but I did put a lot of pics in a couple of them and one is a fairly unique location that isn't covered on this forum and likely won't be anytime soon (Ski Land, AK). The Chamonix one may be worth saving, as there aren't as many Euro TRs as the...

    Alyeska, AK 4-21-19

    Day 2, Sunday: Caught a redeye flight from Seattle to Anchorage, putting me in AK around 2am. This would be my first time in Anchorage, which wasn't my final work destination, but close enough to be within an hour flight of where I needed to end up by Monday. Since it was already 2am, and...

    Crystal Mtn, WA 4-20-19

    I had an opportunity to pull this off in route to a work trip, as two quick in and outs over one weekend at both these places in the form of redeye flights, some sleeping in rental cars, and just making it for closing day in AK, all while showing up for work Monday, on time, thousands of miles...

    Jay Peak 4/11/19

    Took a detour on my way home from Burlington up to Jay. Hadn’t been there in many years, and it was on my to-do list this winter, just never made it up there earlier this season. Took advantage of the opportunity of being in NoVT for business and got a awesome weather window this past...

    Ski Land, AK: 4/15/18

    A biz trip landed me in interior Alaska for a week...with a Sunday to burn and some previous research I did when I found out I may be heading to AK...I made sure to pack my ski boots. Interior AK is not known for the usual huge mountain ranges you may think of when you hear Alaska...though they...

    Chamonix/Courmayeur 2/20-23/18

    Started this trip out with 3 days in Paris, then got a one way rental car to head to the Chamonix Valley (and fly out of Geneva). 6 hour drive from Paris to Chamonix was nice, mostly countryside with some small villages seen set on hillsides. Once you pass Geneva (and pay mucho $$$ for tolls!)...
