    2018-19 Pugski Epic Resort Tour

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...

    Natural Half pipes?

    Between "The Draw" and the lower run under lift 6 (Cornice Express) at Kirkwood, I have never enjoyed such "natural half pipes". Any favorites elsewhere. I'm not a "parks and pipes guy", but try to have as much fun as I can.

    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...

    How Is Your Corn?

    It's been pretty cold at night with some warm days here in Tahoe, which is promising some nice corn. How is your corn harvest?
