Targhee was very good yesterday, wasn't able to get in as much as I wanted to because of legs still being useless. Early season and I'm not used to skiing in that much powder. Did get some good...

To add to this, the place I got is ~$1100 a month. Granted, that's a 'normal' apartment with a year long lease, but there's probably some short term places around that price.

Glad to hear good things about Maverick, hoping to get up there at least once this year.

Yeah, already signed lease and everything. I'm not too worried, it's a 12 month lease and it's about the same price as my place in NY currently but about 200 square feet bigger so I can't complain. ...

Living in Rexburg (side not, the apartment market in east Idaho is fucking ridiculous these days, hardly anywhere available). Figure I'll ski mostly at Kelly Canyon and Grand Targhee.

From...

weather.gov is also calling for 2-4 inches at Grand Targhee overnight; https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=43.788650000000075&lon=-110.95836999999995

Speaking of which, work's finally...

Just found out that I'm (hopefully) going to be moving to Idaho Falls next summer, so I guess I should keep an eye on this thread. Stoked to get out west.

A couple weeks ago I was driving back from visiting family in Jersey, and was on 287. The signs on the Jersey side still say "Tappan Zee Bridge", but a couple hundred yards across the state line it's...

There's a place near me in NY that makes mead out of maple syrup; https://vinoshipper.com/shop/helderberg_meadworks/maple_mead_8,003?list=

It's pretty good.

Planning on heading up Saturday night and skiing on Sunday.

Okemo has a lot more visitors, guessing a bunch of people voting think "ski area I've been to" vs. "ski area I've never been to".

Plus, Boston.

For the second time, a backup has led Alabama to victory against Georgia.

Amazing day at Magic today, by far the best early December day I've ever had. Red Line got a bit scraped by the end but everything else was still amazing.

Anyone else notice the weird frost...

I am extremely not hyped to have to go to work tomorrow.

Still, I bet it will still be amazing Saturday.

Gore and Whiteface opening Saturday. Gore is supposed to get 8-12 from this storm, will probably head there this weekend.

Whiteface looking good

Looks like I was wrong/confused, google says the 23rd (same as Gore IIRC). Still, here's a shot of their forecast;

Looks like a good stretch of cold weather next week. Should be good for a bunch of areas that are trying to open the 17th and 18th (off the top of my head I think Sugarbush and Whiteface are trying...

Was gonna watch the Alabama-LSU game, but my cable is broken. Eat a dick, spectrum

Model forecast cuts off a bit early, but it could be a good snow event for northeast;...

I was genuinely unaware Spokane was such a big deal.

At this point, signing Kaepernick might get you some more fans from the left end of the political spectrum. And as you said, he's better than a shitpile like Peterman,

Weather channel says mix of rain and snow with a high of 34 tomorrow, with 3 to 5 inches of snow; https://weather.com/weather/today/l/225:11:US

Should be a couple more inches higher up.

The Falcon Heavy looks like its doing pretty well; https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/10/spacexs-falcon-heavy-rocket-seems-to-be-a-hit-with-satellite-companies/

I wasn't expecting that, I...

Got my food contribution (gonna ask somebody else to handle cooking it, I'm not great at grilling)

I'll be heading by the liquor store for the rest of my bit later this week.

What time...

Good model run for Jay and Whiteface.

fuckin rad, I fucking love pork roll. Saw slices of it once in the cooler at my Price Chopper, then never again.

From the last NHC advisory;



It's also the most intense October US landfall by a good margin.

Saw one of those in the Magic parking lot last year.

More evidence for Planet Nine found; https://www.space.com/41995-dwarf-planet-the-goblin-discovery-planet-nine.html

The ORDA areas are probably going to stay state-owned for foreseeable future. Even if they did go private, I doubt Gore and Whiteface would be very attractive because of the restrictions on...

Elon needs to close his fucking twitter account and focus on making rockets.

Speaking of which, there's supposed to be an announcement about a private lunar flight;

Ah, what the heck. I don't know any of you guys that well, but I'll show up anyway. Can't hurt.

Went to Magic for the first time this Saturday, had an amazing time (even on my 70mm wide skis). Magic's only 2 hours from my place, don't know why I never came here before. Now I'm thinking of...

Please do not use a gun to remove sand from your vagina.

Interesting news if true.

I think a good chunk of the money would be better spent on snowmaking, though. Lookout Mountain...

That's about three and a half hours west of my place, and I got work tomorrow.

Hi all, new guy here from upstate New York.
