It's not snowing in Idaho, although it's been thinking about snowing here for the last few weeks.It's supposed to think about snowing again next week.

As opposed to the other kind of gapers ?

There's plenty of touring in the Wood River valley- no need to go to Soldier. Check in at Backwoods or the Elephant's Perch. North valley (Galena) has a bad layer, but there is actually a better...

I hope I don't jinx it. This is my 45th winter here, or maybe 46th - I'm old. This looks like the half dozen REALLY good seasons I've seen. Like the sinner says, as long as it keeps snowing, spring...

Guilty. We're skiing stuff we haven't seen for quite a while. Plus all the new stuff from last year. Have you been out Gun Ridge, under the new lift? So much for all those that think Baldy is a...

Just a bump - It's looking pretty good season on Baldy.

I was probably passing people on the hershey highway (sunset strip) before she was born.

CK

Is it "passing someone" If you just can't slow down?

Glad you liked it. Among those of us still doing it, it still goes on. Except it's usually in the bowls.

CK

Sorry to continue the hijack. In 1978 (we never got to the top in 76-77 the winter of no snow) all of the local crew would gather at the top first run to smoke a bowl. Then it was non-stop to the...

Iowa - is that potatoes or corn ???

CK

I'm the gaper who started this hi-jack. You're all correct. We have all types of skiers and all types of runs at Sun Valley. Fortunately, we are mostly friendly locals. If you're not finding the...

The problem with Sun Valley is the runs are so long. And most of them are groomed. And it never snows.And last year we had lift lines !! You probably wouldn't like it even if you didn't get scared.
...

As Mike Brunetto once said "The worst day of skiing I ever had was not that bad".

CK

What a surprise today. My best day of the year (so far).

CK

Not as bad as the boots left in the snowbank in beside the upper Greyhawk parking lot - they'd be REAL cold.

CK

Because deep down we all have an inner Gaper ???

CK

31 degrees at 9am - even with the time change. Today's the day for corn!

CK

They're not going home - they live here now.... At least most of 'em don't ski where we do.

CK

Good idea- We're the highest (per capita) in the state. You guys could cause your own spike. Try not to come during a holiday - then you'll really stand out.

CK

The skiing was great today in the bowls - cold, chalky snow and no people, It looks like this weekend - Thursday thru Monday - could be max. capacity (6000 tickets). Our Covid numbers will probably...

On wednesday, I had a few people ask me if I knew where we were, and what was the easiest way down. I said 'yes and there isn't an easy way down". I think there should be better signage at the...

Ski patrol is out in expansion area doing control in the expansion area-probably won't open today. Maybe tomorrow. Be safe out there.

CK

I did hear that they gladed Numbers though. Now they just need to let us ski it....

CK

Not gladed, just glades. Like all the good stuff we've been skiing outside the rope. Natchel' style ...
CK

At least the new lift location is farther down Broadway than the original proposal - right at the bottom of one of the Coldspring chutes. I'm excited about the glades on the backside of gun ridge...

It seems like all the "live here nows" bought season passes and have major FOMO. It's hopefully going to calm down a little, and we can have our mountain back. It's too bad the Turkey Bowl area is...

Even a bad day on Baldy is not that bad.

CK

Typical Sun Valley - It's gonna be good with another 6 inches...

CK

The few times I've seen skis in the river, it was locals who knew better, but continued leaving their skis in line after being warned. Going in to pee is cool- there's probably 2 or 3 others to watch...

You're right. You wouldn't like it here at all.

CK

At our resort, if you leave your skis early to save a space, you'll often find one of your skis in the river when you return (at least at Warm springs)...
CK

I think it's going to be a normal year. Joe has a plan to stop the virus.

CK

I'm ready!!
CK

My daughter and I are going to Anthony Lakes to ski this weekend-1 day cat skiing and 1 or 2 days at the resort.Any tips or don't miss areas? We are both strong skiers who love pow.
Thanks
CK

My understanding is that he cut across Broadway from Guntower Lane.His wife and son skiied down,but Tim cut over to get 6 or 8 sweet turns on the nose-who wouldn't?
I try to make some turns with him...

Tim was a friend-to me, and many in the valley.
We had skiied the same general area the day before.

We miss you.
