Superior is a sight to behold. A little more LCC porn. So, a week ago Friday my daily check of OpenSnow and the like hinted that Utah could see some storms this week. Ok, check Delta to see how ridiculous tickets are so I can get back to whatever it is I was doing. What’s this? A...

Not bad for 3:30 pm, a couple days after the last storm, on a 50 degree glorious spring day! Copper is a’ight. I was starting to think it’s meh, but it’s a beautiful mountain that reveals itself with a bit of exploration. Great family mountain, and the vast high alpine is gorgeous...

I guess if two areas counts as a safari! I’ll lead with my best pic from the day before I get all wordy. As some may have seen in the ‘Where are you skiing’ thread……on Tuesday morning a favorable Cascades snow forecast (notwithstanding the usual snow level questions) and cheap mileage ticket...

19 inches in the past 24 hours, currently snowing hard at the base, with the satisfying sound of explosions. Seems like nobody’s here. At the base the powder feels a lot ‘east coast’. Look at me, I sound like someone who’d ‘complain’ about what trails Gore opened on a surprise Friday after a...

On the heels of VT last weekend, I’m off to Colorado to chase what seems to serve as a “storm” in this pathetic winter. The stats say the Colorado snow pack is pretty close to normal, but around the Front Range they are on about 200 inches for the season. Seems low. Not that it seems to be...

Whether ‘tis nobler in the body to suffer the shivers and sweatshirts of a cold home, or to take arms against the chills, and by turning on the heat end them….. I suppose the answer is different for everyone (geography and all)….but how long do you all hold out on turning on the heat? Trying...

It. Is. TIME! Chilly wok day at Platty tomorrow, Placid lows in the 20s…..and an atmospheric river event hammering the Sierras and Cascades with snow totals measured in feet! Ahhh, WINTER!

If anyone is interested is hitting up Placid for Easter weekend and staying in the best property in town at a discount let me know. Our plans changed and I’ve got the 3 night reservation (arriving 4/2, checking out 4/5) at the Whiteface Lodge in a 1 bedroom unit. Place is gorgeous, best...

We had College and Skiing on the old site, time we started up a College thread here. We have enough people with enough experiences that we can help one another!

Good shops, thoughts on services, prices.....let’s talk shop! My topic for today....binding mounts. In my particular case, mounting Shifts. As covered in other discussions, I got some new skis (Ripstick 96 Black) on which I need to put a pair of Atomic Shift 13. Yes, btw....I did find a deal...

I picked up a ticket for next Tuesday, hopefully do some storm skiing. Well, hopeful until jason pisses on that idea....;). Anywho, anyone planning on skiing Platty during the holiday week, and when? Would be great to hook up with whomever might be there!

Got a conundrum? Ever faced with an interesting situation where you had to make a decision about what to do? Give us your best, most interesting WWYD story!

Whether you are experienced in touring and know what you like/need, or you are new to touring (thanks to COVID) and you picked up touring gear but haven’t yet given serious thought to packs (or even if you just like to ski with a pack on inbounds lift-served days).....a good pack is a crucial...

Multi-Issue isn’t a term I’ve heard before. Big one opening up in NY. https://hvmag.com/things-to-do/empire-state-trail/?fbclid=IwAR3wv29oyakCYvSPjQpSSUwZPt-ixVcyMvRXb-Ew365TaYNZ0jnUF1-cLzA The Hudson Valley Greenway portion of the Empire State Trail actually runs through my neighborhood...

Thoughts of an uncertain season ahead, on the heels of a season interrupted, they got me to thinking about seasons gone by. Or maybe it was the Scotch. Or the home grown. I don’t know. So, in thinking on days gone by I began to think....’what was my greatest day skiing?’ Seemed like a good...

We haven’t resurrected this one yet on the new site, have we? It’s certainly been a ride since the beginning of the year.....and the ride likely won’t be over any time soon! The economy was difficult enough to gauge before...and we now have ongoing COVID shit, and the election. Word of...

Hey, enough NYSBers want to hit up Silverton, so who’s interested in making a NYSB event of it? Ok, perhaps 2021 isn’t the year (fuck you COVID)? No matter, planning is everything, and I have no problem targeting a trip even two seasons out! Would anyone be interested in such a thing? Just...

Sooo....who knows what the new season will bring? Who knows how I (and everyone else) will feel about flying, hotels, etc? Too many unknowns...but that shouldn’t stop the wheels from going into motion! A guy’s gotta dream. Share your observations, thoughts, and plans regarding travel in the...

If it doesn’t quite fit in Today’s Paddle or Today’s Ride....well, start another thread! COVID-19 and work from home has allowed us to spend more time on the Cape this summer (about every other week since the last week of June). Each day on the Cape for us this summer has involved a few hours...

41” in 36 hours. For the 2nd time in the last 4 years I started my ski season at Crystal Mountain, this being my fourth trip there. Reflecting on that it says a lot about the place. It really has everything you could ever want in ski terrain (as easy or as difficult as one could hope...
