  1. https://skiwhitefish.roundshot.co/summit/ New web cam And view at sunrise:
  2. PennLive.com: Here's what new at Roundtop, Camelback, Liberty and more ski resorts in Pennsylvania. https://www.pennlive.com/expo/life-and-culture/erry-2018/10/065606b1971974/heres-what-new-at-roundtop-cam.html I'd be interested to see this new Scarab trail and how much it's just a rebirth of the old cross mountain trail.
  3. Still winter and we're closing Sunday with 150+" base.
  4. April 2. Full on winter for the last three days. Single digits and howling wind and nice dry powder.
  5. It's not always foggy. Yesterday and today.
  6. Not often. Probably post more here. I'm on Pugski. I looked at some others, but really nothing has clicked.
  7. Yes. Having a bad, bad year personally. The skiing is great. But I'm having a ton of migraines and my brother died, so have not racked up much.
  8. No surprise. I'd never stay there again. It was back when Siblet was racing and the team stayed there.
  9. Omg, have stayed at the Royal 7. Did they ever have a maid do your room? Probably ten years ago, it seemed to be an issue.
  10. Lake Louise is more gorgeous. Less snow I think... Yeah, only 77", Sunshine at 72. I think they are open later than us. Maybe a month later. We've got a griz issue. Then again, they've got a passport issue and, I hear, DUI screening. But the loonie is still pretty low, so $ might be okay.
  11. "Bad days" are caked in snow. But you can't see where the hell you are. This is almost a month back. More now. Husband on the injured list from shovelling.
  12. We already have our season (300") in. Base depth of 140, which is a new record I think. They had to extend the snow stake, anyway. Unfortunately, the body count is two so far, the second guy has not been found after a week of searching. I've been having a rough year, however, and not been out anywhere near as much as usual.
  13. Basically, Wikia bought Huddler. Huddler is no longer doing forums. The transition would have cost Vail money. Vail never really wanted the forums, they wanted the name Epic being under their Epic umbrella. They let the forums exist until it meant money. A huge number of content posters had already moved to pugski and although tuning and instruction content was probably still better on Epic, the equipment content was better on Pugski. So, many were on both. Which meant Epic was losing increasing ground. What I was seeing was more activity on Pugski, even though lurking levels were very high on Epic. But it had to mean decreasing ad revenue. Faced with the hassle and cost of a move to a new platform, they bagged it. It would have been nice to have had more notice FROM SOMEONE. All that content will be gone. 18 years worth.
  14. Town is at 3000 feet, summit 6800+. Lower altitude means less shock for flatlanders. I always had to overnight in Denver before skiing Colorado or I would have horrid migraines for a day or two and still be exhausted for skiing for the first half of the trip. I still have 20% more migraines if I visit my brother in Denver, but that might be a lifestyle clash as much as anything, since I'm not used to interstates and traffic anymore. I haven't heard anyone complain about altitude here, although I've had two visitors from Minnesota (not related or friends) who get woozy if the view is too expansive or something. They can't tolerate things like the Inspiration ridge line or looking down No Name. (Of course, I used to have a friend who was terrified of ESCALATORS.) Different type of issue. What else did this couple say? Just curious.
  15. I swear EWR was a big reason we moved. Not that LaGuardia or JFK are any improvement. We'd come home and hit EWR and it was always a nightmare somewhere. If not the airport, then just finding your way HOME from the airport, with the left hand exits and construction was a terror. Any time I miss good deli, I remember Newark.
  16. I realized when I got home I SHOULD have taken one more run, as I'd finished ONE RUN SHORT of last year's vert. I didn't think I was that close that it was worth agonizing over, so hadn't done the math before I left.
