summer skiing

Is Beartooth Basin (next to Yellowstone) any good? How is Timberline (Mt.Hood) this year with apparently low snowpack? I assume it has to freeze overnight (a function of clear skies) for the hardpack skiing conditions to form. Early July? Is Bariloche worth a $1500 plane ticket?

Instead of posting a separate TR for every patchskiing day, I'm going to put them in one thread. I hope that others will add to this. I also hope to provide views, creamed corn and soft-serve snow images, along with some dog stoke. I'll post a few highlights from each day. To see more just click...

Has anyone been there during the summer. I read its open all year and was curious of how the conditions were and the cost of staying at the resort and is there anything to do around town. Just read it was the hotel used in the Movie The Shining.

Snow.

Last year this day, Aug 6th still open ! (IG feed) less than 100 until season opening.........................:daffy:

Thank you in advance for your advise.

yup. but not by me....Our camp director joined one of our mountain trips and lugged his ski stuff up the ravine trail, booted up and made something like 6 turns. I am jealous! He is not so sure that it was worth the effort, but did have a smile on his face when telling the story...

Skied the East side of mt. Shasta yesterday. Great corn for over 5,000 ft. From the Brewer Creek trailed. Go get it.

Well, things are winding down here in the Northern Hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean a thing: The Adventure Project (TAP) is proud to announce an 11-day program exploring the resort and backcountry around Nevados de Chillán. Nevados de Chillán is situated next to three volcanos and has a lot of...

And without going to a different hemisphere. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2017/nov/09/skier-photographer-craig-moore-has-hit-the-slopes-/ He's one of the two or three photographers in practically every ad for Whitefish. Frankly I'm stunned after this hot dry summer that he found a...

I made it up to Timberline for their last weekend of summer skiing. The conditions were great minus the smoke from nearby forest fires. It was near 70 degrees on the snowfield which is hot for up there but not for a guy from AZ. They really squeaked by this year, I don't think they would have...

I arrived home just under a week ago after an incredible week skiing in Cerro Catedral near Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina. I capped off the trip with a few days in Buenos Aires. Here are some highlights from the trip. I took off from Denver to Atlanta on a Friday afternoon and connected...

Greetings All- Guess I'm jonesing for some runs and have a free weekend in Europe. I have the option of spending a weekend either in St. Petersburg Russia or near Innsbruck, Austria. Timing will be mid July, which probably limits my options. Anyone know of any open glacier ski areas this...

There was mention in another thread to start up a separate patchskiing thread. @Philpug also mentioned writing an article on patchskiing. I hope to start on that soon. For now with it being May I may begin. Instead of posting a separate TR for every patchskiing day, I'm going to put them in one...

I know some of you aren't into artificial slope skiing, but I am pretty excited about this. The skiing surface looks pretty good and no water is needed. I will need to head up there this fall once we are done with the summer heat. http://www.buckhill.com/artificial-snow/

While A-Basin and Mammoth are still turning their lifts, these skiers have resorted to hiking and patch skiing until the the season returns in October/November. We have many members here who ski year round like @spencer, @Stev @SBrown @SkiNurse (to name a few).Here is a thread to post pics and...
