    California/Nevada What is typically open in April at Heavenly?

    Question for the Heavenly experts. How much terrain is open at Heavenly in mid-April? I skied there for an April weekend in 2018 and only the trails above Gondola were open. The afternoon temperatures were in the 60s, so it was fun to go to the beach or get in the pool or stroll in the shops...

    2018-19 Pugski Epic Resort Tour

    The 2018-2019 season was a whirlwind -- dare we say “Epic” -- tour for Team Pugski. Tricia and I were all over the western United States at almost 25 resorts, including more than a half-dozen Epic resorts. Even though these areas are under the Vail umbrella in one way or another, each has its...

    Ski lessons for 11 year old in Tahoe

    Can someone recommend alternatives to the ski schools at Heavenly and Northstar? My 11 year old has tried snowboarding last year but this season wants to learn skiing.

    California/Nevada 2018-19 Tahoe Ski Resorts/Conditions/Meetups Thread....

    So this season required a trigger to start the thread. What prompted me to do it? Was it the 96 degree temperatures here in Placer County, home to Squaw Valley USA? Was it me sitting in my swimsuit typing this next to the pool? Was it the tent sales this weekend and the anticipated new ski...

    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Vail Galaxy of Resorts: Part 1 of 3

    I’ve had the opportunity to visit a bunch of Vail Resorts in North America over the last four years and explore the full gamut of great experiences they offer. However, I’m going to set the tone of this discussion by using the words "Vail" and "frugal" in the same sentence. The Vail galaxy of...

    Good resort with easy blues?

    Hello, My wife and I have been skiing for a while, and normally go to PCMR every year. But I was looking to go somewhere different just for some variety. Nothing wrong with PCMR, but 7 years in a row, it's time to try somewhere else at least once. My wife doesn't like steep runs, so nice...

    Mountain Coasters

    Squaw Valley is putting things in motion to build the Timberline Twister, a mountain coaster, (not a rollercoaster). This would add to other summer activities that have already become popular like climbing courses, zip lines, and the like. Some of the locals are questioning the need for more...

    So this season required a trigger to start the thread. What prompted me to do it? Was it the 109 degree temperatures here in Placer County? Was it the tent sales this weekend and the anticipated new ski gear? (Maybe) Was it the new issue of Powder next to my toilet? (Print is dead though...

    Crested Butte or Heavenly

    Does anyone have any thoughts about going to Crested Butte in late January or Heavenly in mid February? I'm 61 years old and a pretty fair skier. The trips are the same price except I already have an epic pass so no lift tickets in Heavenly. I've never skied the sierras and don't have any...

    I was waiting to open this up for some "trigger". Is it the first ski movie trailers and premiers? Is it the Labor Day ski sales? How about the new magazines? Nope. This photo from the webcam this morning at Kirkwood is that trigger.
