Hope for the best for him, Chris

Well done, Ger

2nd word of each one begins with K (Except Niseko Annupuri...)

Later dates should be better, but nothing is guaranteed.

Especially now, when any damn fool with money can pay to be taken to the summit

Senjojiki is only worth it if you're willing to hike. And, that drag lift isn't a real T-bar; it's a wire that you hook onto using a T-shaped wood handle that has a couple of bolts on it to snag the wire. Pretty place to visit.

The Amish Elevator -- an all-time 5-star winner!

Shirely yer not complainin'!

Vertically unenhanced, if you please. Let's refrain from politically incorrect terms

He was excellent in Silence, but Ed Harris was at least as creepy a serial killer in some flick w/Sean Connery back in the 90s

Telluride's on my bucket list, but it's such a PITA to get to...

I'm a strong believer in gun control, a 2-inch group at 300 yards is pretty good.

Thanks Mike. Not bad for a working stiff, I think (did use up a whole year's worth of vac days!)

44, personal best 5 days at Alta/Snowbird 1 day at Solitude 2 days at Stuben/St Anton 2 days at Lech 4 days at Davos 2 days at Rusutsu 28 days at Niseko Lost a couple of planned Dec days at Teine unfortunately.

Kumanoyu & Yokote are linked; lower Yokote runs probably best for beginners. Also a couple of lifts on the back side of Yokote would be fine beginner terrain.

Jeeze, you got that many Americans down there?

Pretty ****ing far from OK, that movie

Sounds like you want Niseko, but without any (other) Aussies around.

:sj-lol:

mea maximum culpa

Just don't ever go to R

Geeze! Anyhow, Happy Australia Day to those who celebrate, and Happy Something Else Day to those who don't (I'll have a beer either way)!

If only he'd had a helmet! WALPOLE, Mass. – A teacher was arrested Wednesday for allegedly walking around his driveway wearing only a ski cap and goggles.

Terrible at Rusutsu today...

Condolences to the family, MB. You're right, the only perfect safety is in the grave. Be sensible but not afraid.
