It was approved last year, I think. But was approved.

At the risk of sounding very nerdy, those skis could have been used by that patroller in the 1966 FIS championships in Portillo, maybe even as a forerunner. Jean-Claude Killy took gold in the downhill.

Approach - Mountain Run etc. is open. A good amount of snow on the trail, but it's not wall-to-wall. Like Brookside, Draper's is about half width, M.R. a bit more than that. Today may have been emptier than yesterday. Soft, hero snow. Let's hope it stays.

It's a safe space.

That snow did ground out nicely. One gun working today near the main pump house. A patrolled (I assume) was on Mountain Run. It looks like they were putting up pads on the towers. If any terrain opens (IF!), it would probably be Approach - Mountain Run - Thruway - Draper's, with the upper...

You might want to pick the roof color first as that has the least amount of selection. Then base the other colors relative to the roof and, if you don't like, start over again. I suggest a gray over a brown. Gray is a hue and not a color. I couldn't tell you the definitions of each, but I...

Bluebird day with no wind. Whalebacks top to bottom on Excelsior, and good quality snow at that. Hopefully it pounds out well and is not too damp. No snowmaking at all this morning. It's cold enough but not running. There seems to be enough snow on Approach but not enough on Mountain...

Although you could have gone with the assumption they were flying privately, it sure wasn't stupid to ask. Your regular probably got a charge out of saying that.

TomCat is right about finishing turns. Unless there is an uphill outrun, there are only 3 ways to control speed: finishing turns, snow plowing and (controlled) falling. What prevents you from finishing a turn? For novice skiers, it's often that you have too much edge on your ski. Often it's...

Yesterday was sunny at the top with softening conditions through the day. Excelsior was....uhh....firm. Softer snow below Lower Valley. Today was gray bit with soft snow all over. Almost hero-like. I heard of issues with the water intake for snowmaking. They have a couple of days before...

Is it just me? If you're going to get the public all riled up and bring them in as stakeholders to the outcome about somebody going missing, I think you owe it to that constituency to explain what happened.

Future Darwin award winner.

Every sentence in this post is killer.

The Headstones are friggin' great.

Not if you have files in "the cloud."

At first I thought it might be on fire, but that would be too Cuyahoga-River-fire-type of ironic to be true. The Zapruter-like graininess of the picture adds to the mystery.

It may not be another win yet, but it's the 2 minute warning with a significant lead. I'm talking about The Notch, the new chair. I've been following the progress. I'm hopeful that they will have it open before Christmas. I've seen a couple of lift replacements before and usually they're...

It depends on if you're able to handle them or not.

Are you concerned that Tirolski's crankiness is stealing your thunder? :p

What's this air called? "Pole 2 nuts"?
