Park, in no particular order and really just going from North to South.....Boreal, Northstar, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Heavenly, Sierra at Tahoe Pow (I'm taking to me on a 3ft bluebird morning where would you want to be), again in no particular order and really just going from North to...

Thanks for asking Sean - Yep. However, we're not sure how much longer we'll do it as sometime between now and Easter weekend (starts 22nd) we'll drop prices some more. Once we get down to the "down 'n dirty" prices posted on the site for the masses this code will disappear. For now, though...

I'm always going to wave our flag being understandably biased. Alex and Bill and Segal in Truckee or Gaines or Houston in Tahoe City or Tony in Incline would all be guys that I'll put up against anyone with a heat gun / punch / dremel wearing a lab coat claiming to know the "secret" to boot...

Hey Billy - Super sorry on that. Last winter was our first in setting up a separate call center / internet support center that dealt with all of the customer calls for all 4 of our shops. Unfortunately we had a few examples like yours where there was a "disconnect" between what someone in the...

EXACTLY Nice post about the WCT and the fact that it doesn't have to be invite only. To be sure, a corresponding ski tour can't be one, single tour only that gets hi-jacked by a small group of people or sponsors or Crocs or some bullshit. That's why you need a unified, cohesive plan and...

First off, a big thumbs up to Australian Jibber for opening up this thread. Also super nice to see someone like yourself Jon weighing in and adding a bit of “reality” to what you see from your perspective. Well I’m going to add my two cents as the owner of www.porterstahoe.com and our four...

Alright everyone - Since I got quoted to start this whole thread, I figured that I'd finally put in my two cents. I just thought that I'd address what skibum said here - and what could potentially be said about anything that I might post. I know on here and most other community forums that...
