I’d also look into Lake Tahoe; plenty to do around there with several ski areas nearby - Heavenly is right in town at S Lake Tahoe and is similar to the big CO resorts, Northstar is good too. Reno airport is only about an hour & a half away and not a bad drive at all.

Any reports from Big Sky? OnTheSnow says they’ve been getting a few inches every couple of days, forecast to continue at least until we arrive March 2. Thinking it should be plenty good enough for 2 senior blue skiers, but updates would be appreciated.
Go to the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum; it’s all genres (not just country) with emphasis on the musicians instead of the stars. It also showcases the production side of the recording industry with studios, hands-on activities, and various displays. Well worth the visit if you have any interest in any types of recorded music. I thought it was more interesting than the Country Music Hall of Fame, although that & the Ryman are worth a visit.

From the same album:
After The Thrill Is Gone;
literal lead to start the song.

Randy Meisner was the soul of the Eagles, in my opinion.

Haven’t been since our honeymoon in 1983 but I remember I was surprised that it was much more Arizona Desert than Hawaii Tropical. Not bad at all but just not what we had expected (in the pre-internet info research days.)

Just got back from a week at Wolf Creek (4 ski days) - it was 100% open, although getting a little bare and icy in the more traveled areas. They got about 6 inches new right after we left, and they could use more, but overall it was good enough for us as solid blue skiers. It’s also much cheaper than the big Epic/Ikon resorts; only problem is having to stay 20 to 30 minutes away and negotiating Wolf Creek Pass.
