I've been a Squaw passholder since 1987 and was part of the opening team at the Resort at Squaw Creek in 1990, which was arguably the beginning of the corporatization movement in the Tahoe basin.

What about the Tahoe Truckee Aerial Tramway?

I invite the village planners of KSL to watch this Mockumentary on what can happen when you over develop a soul-less village catered to the wealthy.

More Rope Tows, Less Lattes!

I attended the SV MAC meeting the other night where KSL presented their amended plans. To say the plans are over the top, absurd and unsustainable would be an understatement.

I'm all for more lift served skiing, so long as it is for exciting terrain and doesn't impact natural habitats like Lynx.

Stellar trip report. Did you get your loot back from the RV company?

I had my honeymoon in Argentina, it was super.

I'd say to go to Buenos Aires for a long weekend, then fly to Bariloche for the week. It's a great base camp for many excursions, romance and skiing....

Nope. I decided to hold on it for the bright future ahead.

I've said it before, but one of the reasons we created Mountain Rider's Alliance is to help Las Leñas achieve it's highest potential.

And if we don't, someone else will. The place is too magical...

I love the idea of bringing the ski train back.

Combine that with the Tahoe Subway in the Sky and it would be awesome.

Most reliable snowfall in my six seasons down there seemed to be Chillan. As others have said, waiting to see which reason has snow and then fine tuning makes the most sense.

I have a used pair of 185 Chopsticks with Salomon 914 binders. 148-128-148.

They are in good shape, no major damage.

They have been drilled a couple times, so boot size should be close to...

I can't think of the last time Summit Chair ran but not KT on a storm day.

Anyone holding new or used Salomon binders, DIN to 14 or higher?

1.) AndesCross is good peeps.

2.) I'd wait to see if it snows first.

3.) You can also fly between Bari and Mendoza on Aerolineas, assuming the Volcano stops spewing ash.

4.) No, but be...

Can anyone suggest zones in Eastern Europe that have both exciting terrain and a reliable snowpack?

A portion of Lomo and a copa del Alberto sounds real nice right about now.

I suggest sitting on the right side for an inspiring view of the Big Andes.

This was taken today.

I don't generally engage on TGR anymore, but this is such a great subject, that I wanted to jump in.

The doggies were on fire, as there were a lot more squirrels, birds and other curios things than normal ski tours. Gotta love Tahoe Summer Skiing.

Here is yesterday at Alpine Meadows, still some turns to be had

Well I think it's about to time to roll out this thread.

Back in the late 90's I was heli-skiing in Valdez. We skied a sick run called Kiwi and were waiting on the glacier for a pick up when another group skied on our tracks.

The last guy to the bottom...

Thanks for the kind words, they are appreciated.

We need to free up some capital to start the world's first ski-energy center.

No, foreigners can own property in Argentina. We have bought and sold property in 3 provinces and this property's title is in our name. Todo bien.

Not too bad, there's only a little discoloration. I consider it part of my Chugach initiation.

Thanks for the fun day. Next time, no rally car racing!
