Always a smile on his face. He bikes a lot, too. He's not wearing shoes because he took his cleats off. Up on the Col de Galibier in the French Alps.

Maybe should be in the trip report section, but where? Anyway, I posted about Red River, NM, where I skied yesterday on my Taos trip, and looked around and thought that there was a lot of cheap beds. So I went to my old friend Booking.com, and only found two properties. My buddy said, try...

That's the issue with that place. Hard enough for a flatlander to get off a plane and ski groomers at 10,000 plus, but, basically, a heli ski operation at the same altitude? Nope. Unless you're a genetic freak.

Pretty much the polar opposite of the Alterra CEO interview. Not one time is the word experiential used. https://www.stormskiing.com/p/podcast-140-plattekill-owners-danielle#details

Just got turned on to this. Great take on ski town life out west, a lot of which we know, but something the non skier could learn from. Not kind to Vail, duh. Lucky I never got seduced to move out there. I'd be gone. Love YouTube. Just paid for ad free. It's the best media channel for the...

Never trust a man who uses the word experiential. Exit signs should be scanned for if he says his company had an aquisition thesis. Then there's the gold tried and true "optionality". Gawd, that word. https://www.stormskiing.com/p/podcast-138-alterra-mountain-company#details Barely a word...

Made a long road trip from Killington to Rangeley Lake, Maine. Primarily to ski Saddleback, but go over to Sugarloaf for a day, since we both have iKon passes. Saddleback is about twenty minutes from Rangeley, Sugarloaf about forty minutes, so it's a good base to go out and explore, since it has...

https://elevatedlegs.com/ Just spent a week in Taos using this device a friend owns, and it's been a game changer for me. I've been having issues with the right leg/knee swelling over days of skiing after my meniscus operation, and thought, eh, either a new knee or severe reduction in skiing...

Middle of week report. No pics, yet. Hasn't snowed in a while, so, the steep stuff, which, of course, is everywhere, is a bit rocky, and the bumps are ugly at times, and there are a ton of bumps. But the snow, everywhere, is very nice, even in the bump troughs. Chalky, dry. I signed up for a ski...

Maybe there's hope for a third Olympics https://www.thedailyupside.com/the-agony-of-fiscal-defeat-is-there-a-better-way-to-host-a-mega-sporting-event/ "Up in the Empire State’s Adirondack Mountains, about an hour west of the state’s primary north-to-south freeway, lies the little village of...

Got any?

Bard of the upstate. He has written a few novels and many stories about the people in the towns you drive by to get to skiing in upstate NY and New Hampshire. You've seen a few of the film adaptations, I hope. Affliction, The Sweet Hereafter. Highly recommend a short story, to start. Firewood...

Not good. It's January. "Due to recent unfavorable weather conditions, Belt Parkway and Hunter North will be closed until the weekend. Nevertheless, our team is still working hard as ever to preserve our current terrain until colder temps come our way. We ask that you stay safe, have fun, and...

This place cannot buy a break. This is really going to mess with their business model. They positioned themselves as a place for first time skiers and borders to get that day one or two in before heading north or west, but this didn't work out too well...
