re: 2025-2026 Ski Thread

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 3/16/26 at 9:23 am to
I have “insurance” on the trip, and I can cancel our flights for a credit with the airlines.

We went skiing last year in Jackson Hole last year for the first time ever. Had a blast, but I don’t know enough to say how I feel about skiing soft snow versus something else.

My goal/reason for going is that I want my kids to grow up learning how to ski. They are excited about the trip, I just don’t want to spend all of the money if it isn’t worth it based on conditions.

We are going to Beaver Creek next week for spring break. Two little girls (7 and 9) will be in ski school. We are not experienced skiers.

Looking at the forecast and considering the season, would we be better off canceling the trip, or should we be stick with it? I’m very torn on what to do and appreciate any insight from those familiar with Beaver Creek and forecasted conditions. Thank you so much!

Staying at The Mark in the Upper East Side. Omakase/Italian/Dim Sum/Elevated Chinese.

Going to try to do one of the 3 Michelin star spots but I know those reservations can be a challenge.

NYC Dining

Going to NYC with my wife and looking to do a couple of good dinners while there and also get some good dim sum.

I haven’t been since I was young, so the scale is a bit overwhelming. Appreciate any help!

Curious about Jungsik if anyone has experienced it.

Recommendation for pots/pans

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 12/2/25 at 2:10 pm
Looking to upgrade our pots and pans and curious what y’all recommend? Just looking for everyday cookware. Thank you!
Sexton certainly represents some big names, but he doesn’t own all the major coaches by any stretch. Clint Dowdle has quite the stable.

New Orleans Dinner

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 9/4/25 at 10:15 pm
My wife and I are coming to town for the UF game and staying 1 night in NOLA. I currently have a reservation at Galatoire’s for Friday night. Am I making a mistake?

Appreciate any suggestions. Want to do something that is classic New Orleans. Geaux Tigers!
Thanks for the information. I haven’t been to NYC as an adult, so I am a little overwhelmed. That is helpful info though!

NYC (Theater District) Dining

Looking for any good recommendations for an early dinner prior to a Broadway show. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Flexible on the cuisine. Not picky at all, just looking for good food/atmosphere

Hilton Head

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 6/2/24 at 6:15 am
I am going to take my wife and children (8 and 5) to Hilton Head in a couple of weeks. I have only been once when I was young, so I am curious if anyone has suggestions on any “must-do” things while on the island.

We are staying at Omni. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Baha Mar Restaurants/Things to do

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 5/28/24 at 7:10 pm
Going to Baha Mar this summer for the first time with my wife. Curious if anyone has any “must do’s” while there as well as best restaurants to reserve.
Also, I should have mentioned Kabooki. Really hip sushi restaurant. I wouldn’t skip this one if you enjoy sushi. They have a fantastic menu and I believe the chef has a Michelin star
Kres Chophouse downtown is great. Cool/swanky atmosphere serving up prime steaks and seafood.

I agree with the previous poster that Eddie V’s is very good as well.

However, if high end Italian is your thing, I highly recommend Christinis Ristorante. Best food and best service in Orlando imo. Enjoy your trip!

Blackberry Farm/Blackberry Mountain

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 10/18/23 at 7:59 pm
I am thinking of booking one of these properties for our 10 year anniversary next summer. Anyone have any experience at one or both?

Appreciate any insight or other recommendations!

Where to eat Columbia, SC

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 6/26/23 at 12:30 pm
We are going to be in Columbia, SC this evening and looking for a recommendation on somewhere good to eat and watch the game.

Appreciate any suggestions! Geaux Tigers!
Highly recommend Hog and Hominy in East Memphis. Also, the same owners have Catherine and Mary’s downtown which is great.

We are probably going to do Cades Cove on Thursday or Friday…

Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge

Posted by lsutiger3672 on 7/3/22 at 3:19 pm
I am taking my wife and two daughters up to the Gatlinburg area for the week. We rented a cabin and are looking forward to exploring the area.

Any recommendations on things we should definitely do or places to eat would be great!

Children are 6 and 3, so any hikes would have to be doable for them.

We are planning to do Cades Cove one day. Appreciate any insight!
I highly recommend Christini’s Ristorante Italianio. They make all of their pasta in house and the veal dishes are very well done. It’s a can’t miss spot IMO.

If you make it up to the Winter Park area, I would recommend The Ravenous Pig.

Good call on Kabooki. We really enjoy that spot. Enjoy Orlando!
Thank you for the recommendations. We are hoping to enjoy as much Louisiana cuisine as possible since we don’t get that way very often.

Any good raw bar recommendations would be great!
I haven’t been back to Baton Rouge in a long time, and I will be bringing my wife at the end of the month.

I am trying to plan out where to eat, and I remember enjoying Louisiana Lagniappe/Roberto’s/Parrain’s, but it has been since 2011 that I was last there.

Appreciate any help y’all can offer us!
