    450648
    It's only the first week of March and I already owe you that dinner, TD. People will still be talking about this season a hundred years from now.

    No, we never met. Though one time as I was leaving Timberline, I found out we were both skiing there that day. He had such an insane idea and it seemed so impossible that, in my opinion, it's the...

    BAHAHAAHAAA!!! And what a hilarious visual!! I laughed so hard and loud that my wife came in from the other room to have me read what was so funny. She didn't get it at all, which actually made me...

    Where I live, getting to the top of snow, self-powered, is only necessary 3 or 4 months of the year. And, during those months there's far more dirt, scree and boulders during the approach than snow....

    I'd be surprised too if that were the case. Just as I used to do back then, you can see that I wrote cross-country and downhill in parentheses. As references. That's because most skiers DO know what...

    Buster, very enlightened comment. I just removed a paragraph of my post that could potentially sound as though I have something against tele. I don't.

    Lol. No escalation or debate here. When this topic came up 20 years ago, I remember it was the first time some people ever realized that alpine (downhill) skiing is distinct from nordic...

    It's possible you guys are too young to know this 😉 but the finer points of streaks were discussed, deliberated and resolved more than 20 years ago on the old PowderMag site;...

    Yeah, Sunday I read about T-line's decision to close early despite having enough snow they could've made it to Labor Day this year. I've been a loyal T-line summer customer for 35+ years. It's more...

    S_jenks, yes most of them have become kind of a big memory blob. But there are so many that stand out for one reason or another that I don't think I could pare a list down to a handful, let alone...

    That's exactly what happened. I couldn't walk for days; not even with crutches. Because the pain was so unbelievable if I tried touching the ground with either foot. I mean, it's...

    I was going to check but the search function isn't working for me right now. If memory serves it was 82 mph. I'm thinking maybe it was deephelmet or stroupskier?

    Ok, Maggs! It's that time of year. If you've ever wondered how your favorite ski tracker app compares to a real radar gun, this Saturday is likely your last chance to find out. This will be my 20th...

    You're right, it's nothing close to Jackson's complete replacement. But the new bird cabins are about a third less capacity than the originals. Fortunately the existing towers are adequate, but in...
