Every ski area that I ski at/follow on line only uses their social media sites (and they are all on several) purely for “Kumbaya” good news public relations blurbs and photos. There are never posts of weather delays, lift holds, trail closures that could easily be communicated to skiers on and...

Is that Corollary 1A to “Should have been here yesterday.”?

…most vertical horizontal in the east!! FIFY!

ORDA busted their butts to get the Ski Bowl, Burnt Ridge and interconnect open by the holidays, to the detriment of of snowmaking in other pods, even though the lodge isn't done and there’s no indoor plumbing. So what do we do now? Lock it up for two days so we can watch it melt from Wednesday...

Rabbit Run was the second iteration of Tahawus Glade. From its current end on Hedges you had to hike uphill to the current Tahawus entrance. I skied it many times with my kids. The original Tahawus Glade began from Twister trail with an uphill on a trail barely wide enough to herringbone which...

You are looking at the marketing report. No one may have thought to inform the Marketing Department that Straightbrook pooped the bed today.

Bad main bearing because of running last season with a cable that was too short? Where did I leave that maintenance planning consultant’s phone number?

I feel your pain. Here at 1500’ on the Rensselaer Plateau we stayed at or above freezing, but the ground was frozen solid so the rain froze there. 4 am Monday I drove my daughter to the airport, the first 0.3 mile skidding sideways down a 13% grade on solid ice. 15 minutes to go the one mile to...

Yeah. What he said. More room for him and me.

“…snowmaking has been added to the section of Powder Pass below the split with North Star, and that the pipes on North Star and Pete Gay have been replaced.” Say goodbye to more natural ungroomed trails.

Look on the north side of Gore. Parts of Pipeline and Paradox are on that road.

Like this? Dynamited rock cut on Backwoods from Peaceful Valley.

There were earlier requests for a webcam at Harv’s Headquarters and that the base webcam show more of the Bear Cub Quad. But there is an additional Gore webcam sorely lacking, one which will tell us what we really need to know BEFORE we go, from the rooftop of Northwoods Lodge, the Gore Parking...

You had mentioned trying the Ski Bowl a while ago. In the past the Village Chair ran 11 am to 8 pm, so you may have to adjust your schedule a bit. But who knows what ORDA has up their sleeves for Ski Bowl now that we have a new lodge…..and portajons!

Terrapin Station (the album) one of my faves. What are some other posters’ favorite tunes for playing in your head while skiing? (We might need a separate blog page.)
