I'm a new skier. I have been to Heavenly, Squaw, Sierra at Tahoe, Park City, Beaver Creek and Northstar. As such, I don't have a lot of first hand observations on what makes a ski area better than other.
I'm curious why there is a lot of anti Vail sentiment on this forum. I think their pass...

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.

Some resorts in Tahoe have optimistic expectations for opening day this year, while others seem to have a later than usual projected date.

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...

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...

In the spirit of the best quotes of the season it's time to share your BEST ski day ever story.... or at least 1 of your top 5.
After some ski banter PMs with @Muleski I was reminded of this one, a top 5 anyway.
My god parents now in their 80s and still big time skiers invited us to...

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.
LOL, We ran into him today at Northstar, so not as much time as we did with Glen, but we will get together after Trade Show season to talk about what he had going on, and I think it's a new ski.
Just want to give a heads up to anyone skiing Northstar, that there are some parking changes for this season due to some construction at Welk Resorts.
The direct driveway to Parking Lot A & B, which is near the Highlands Gondola and Village View stairs will be closed. The construction will be...
Welp, the time is now. Lifts are turning and the door appears open. Time to get after it, boys and girls.
I for one am looking forward to being able to break out the fat sticks and ski some pow!
