https://snowbrains.com/video-easter-monday-avalanche-at-zermatt-switzerland-kills-3-and-injures-1/ Crazy stat: "This takes the number of avalanche deaths in Switzerland to 17 for the season, which is right on average according to data by the Swiss Avalanche Center SLF." 17! In one country. Par...

C'mon man. It takes a special kind of dumb to chase tornadoes. It's not everyday people. They're basically, nuts. That said, I wish I had the cajones and money to do what this guy does. And he does it with a view camera. http://www.mitchdobrowner.com/

Tell him it's going to be darker for about four minutes. Jezuz, it's like the second coming or something.

Try wearing prescription glasses, and being asked to pay over 200 for friggin frames. They're molded plastic. And this is a health aide. Millions and millions have to wear glasses to see.

I don't know about traffic. School/work day. Woodstock was three days of peace and love and sex and drugs. This is four minutes.

I don't know. Moving towards the end. That impact is going to leave a mark. Great advertisement for airbag packs.

All my ex-es live in Texas.

Shane MacGowan cries into his beer in heaven, and it ain't green. For shame, playing something like that on St. Patrick's day. Edit: Hmmm. Replying to deleted post.

My buddy who skis alone at Taos bought this device: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/garmin-inreach-mini-handheld-gps-satellite-communicator As the man in the post above advised, make your phone and this device easily accessible. Strapped to collarbone area, like where cops keep radios, is best.

From an FB post today. Sugarloaf: It was a spectacular day on the hill today. The snow gods graced us with 24” of light Utah-like powder overnight and a bluebird day to enjoy it. We skied from first chair till 3:15 with only a 15 minute pit stop for some pocket chocolates. Perfection. The...

Haha, I park the car for the week in the VIP lot, and walk out a door to the base quad. I'm special.

Yeah, this seems to be a Taos decision. Edit: I sort of know where I'm going, but we had a party of four that week, different abilities and sleep and endurance levels, so a lot of splitting off and joining back. Two had never really skied there. It would have been really handy to have a paper...

So I complained in an email to Taos CS about no paper trail maps, and they told me that it was done to save the environment. Which I find humorous. A ski mountain concerned with the environment. Let's start with that big parking lot over there...

Well, yeah, but my point is, at least travel to a place that's pretty and has some other attraction besides this eclipse. I'm combining it with a visit to Saratoga Springs, one of my favorite towns, and a nice drive from there to Saranac lake. Not, you know, Rochester. Or Indianapolis. Sheesh, a...

I don't know. It's a maybe five minutes event, and then you turn around, and you're in Rochester, Dayton, Indianapolis, Bloomington. So you flew all that distance and spent the money for that?

Awesome

I once laid out in a back yard in Montana under a heavy blanket staring at those sky's under the influence. Saw a very weak display of Northern lights, but, just in general, the sky was incredible. Our light is so polluted that there aren't many places in the east that have that clarity. Even...

Ok, but, simple question. How long will the event happen if you are in the total zone? I'm doing Saranac. Hope it's a nice day. The way I see it, a nice drive in prime ADK territory. Haven't been up there for some time now.

Booked a room in Saratoga Springs as a base, and I guess we'll drive into the Lake Placid area on Monday for viewing. Is Whiteface still open on the 8th? How about Gore? Otherwise, where's a good high spot to view? Hiking trails are mud, right? Whatever, good excuse to get away. It's only like...
