I'll be in Jackson Hole the first week of February. Does anybody have any
advice on good but reasonably priced (less than $10, at most $15) places to eat
in Teton Village / Jackson? I'll be with a vegetarian (who loves ethnic food)
which might limit me. But then again, most steak places have a salad bar:-)

Also, if I had the option between staying in Jackson vs. the Hostel, which
one would be preferable?

Are there places to rent a snowmobile for a day tour into Yellowstone which
a normal person can afford? I don't need any breakfast-included, guides etc.
All I heard about was $100+ per person (or $185 for a "double ride").

Any remarkable bars with good beer or nightlife?

Thanks is advance,

Frank

nearest ski place is Big Bear lake, where you'll find Bear Mountain ($38)
and Snow Summit ($39) about 3:20 away UCSD.  Also there's Mt Waterman,
Kratka, and Mt High, but htese are lower and not as consistent condition
wise.  The last three are in the Angeles grest area.  None of these are
'cheap'

    My wife and I were planning our BIG ski trip from back east. Our destination
was to be a week at Whistler. It is pretty apparent that the 7 and 10 day 
extended forecast is not favorable for snow. The conditions there are DISMAL!
100 cm base, hard pack/ice. I talked to the place where we were going to stay
and she said it has been too cold to snow. -20 to -30c . This pretty much 
confirms what another user had written. Well we changed out minds and are going to 
try Sun Valley, from what I understand they are having the record snowfalls
that SLC is enjoying. Any input on this area would be welcomed.  Has anybody
been there in the last week or so?

Doesn't this result in condensation forming on and *IN* the camera and

You are very observent.  100 percent means everything PERIOD...
I think this 1 or 2 percent is a silly game many areas have started
playing.  This opens the barn door to anything they say.

sometimes there are legitimate reasons such as closing one trail or
parts thereof for maintaince etc  but I am afraid you may find a number
of trails -maybe 5 or 10 percent closed.  Their steepest runs,of course.
They think you won't notice or can't figure out how 1 percent is different
from 10 percent.
Think you will have a nice trip.

Chestnut Mountain is a few miles from Galena, Illinios.  I can not provide
any other info for prices or lodging.  Galena does a pretty good trade for
antiques during the summer which would imply lots of hotel/motels in the area.
If you remember the scene in 'Field of Dreams' were Kevin Costner meets old

You may also consider Sundown Ski Area.  It is just outside of Dubuque, Iowa.

A friend of mine, with no access to news, is planning a trip

He is looking for current snow conditions in these places: 
Chamonix	Les Portes du Soleil 		Verbier

I have forwarded all the good tips expressed in the "Info on 
Chamonix" series, but noone mentioned how the snow is this 
year.

In addition, of the skiable months remaining, any 
recommendations for a preferred time, taking weather and 
crowds into consideration.


All info welcomed. Thanks alot!

Sincerely,
Marian

P.S. Just returned from a week at Snowmass/Aspen. Temps
ranged from -5 to 24F in the daytime.  40inch base and
1-5inches new powder almost everynight.  Wonderful as long 
as you weren't trying to fly in or out.  The Aspen airport

Hi there. I FINALLY went skiing for my second time ever and the first time

   If I'm out of line, give me a break, I'm new to this group. I somehow
thought that rec.skiing would have something to do with clamping these long
skinny things to you feet and go sliding down a mountain. Maybe there is more
to this skiing thing than I want to know about.

   And all I wanted to do was to get some info on picking up some good used
equipment.

As an aside, Highway 4 to Bear Valley/Mt. Reba never closed during the

Tahoe in favor of Kirkwood and Bear Valley.

These were kind of interesting.  Snowboarders fell in deep powder and

CA has R1 through R4 levels of chain requirements;  R3 and R4 are rare, they
usually close the road (except maybe I-80) 

R1 is chains or snow tires; many people will put on chains, but most "all-
   season" tires will meet this requirement.  This is common on less-traveled
   roads in the mountains.

R2 is chains for 2WD, snow tires ok for 4WD;  They seem to go to R2 on I80 
   and US50 commonly.

R3 is chains for all;  probably to slow people down as much as anything.
   This is why you need to carry chains.  You don't see this a lot.

R4 *I think* is 4WD with chains only, no 2WD.  I've never seen this on main
   roads.


Your landcruiser would likely chain on rear wheels; the owners manual should
help.  Remember you don't stop much better with 4WD;  I see lots of 4WD in
the snowbanks or ditch because they can't stop as well as they can go.

I was a telemarker :-) but they planned to have a few patrollers on

Hi!

I'm an ex-volunteer ski patroller from Colorado
(Arapahoe Basin to be more specific).

I've recently moved to Oregon and I'd like to find
out more information on volunteer ski patrols in
Oregon.  If the time commitments aren't too tough
I'd like to start patrolling again!

Specifically, I'd like to know what ski areas in
Oregon still have volunteer ski patrols (or have
they all gone professional?). 

Also, If you are familiar with an Oregon volunteer 
ski patrol, what is the political/social climate like 
within the ski patrol?  Is it a heavy-duty 
good-ole-boys club or do they readily accept and 
support new members?

Thanks for any enlightment and ski on!

That's basically what a good shop would do for you.  If there's enough of the
edge for the epoxy to bond to, you'll probably be ok, provided you don't hit a
rock in the same place (which will probably destroy the edge).  If you're
experienced with such repairs, go for it.  If not, have a really good shop
(like one of the ones near a reasonable ski mountain) do it for you.  The
repair will last a lot longer, and they can get the edge much smoother.
