Research European Ski Trip?

Posted by eph4v29 on 7/13/26 at 6:39 pm
2 (maybe 3) mid-60’s guys, decent Colorado-intermediate skiers, made 30+ trips in USA, thinking of bucket-list trip to ski Europe in Winter/Spring 2027. Any recommendations on where/how to do the research on where to ski & stay, as well as getting around? Thinking 2-3 resorts in about 2 weeks; Italy, Austria, Switzerland look promising but need more info. Probably won’t have the wives, not interested in glitz but not hostels. Ok with trains or driving, but prefer to minimize distances between sites.

Personal specific experiences welcomed, also looking for leads on research resources like specialized agents, dedicated websites, ski clubs, outfitters et al. Just not sure where to start. Thanks!

Oshkosh Airventure newbie tips?

Posted by eph4v29 on 6/26/26 at 5:02 pm
2 old guys, private pilots but camping in motor home on site, first-timers staying entire week - any must do’s on site, nearby attractions, maybe even a day trip? Very much interested in warbirds & military (dad was a WW2 pilot) but might be able to skip some of the afternoon acro acts to do some sightseeing. Never even been to that part of the country.

“The 3-year-old giraffe was spotted from a helicopter Friday morning”

I thought giraffes were born that way; and how did they do it from the air?
Is It True - Eagles
Remember Me - Willie Nelson version
Trip Around The Sun - Buffett/McBride
Johnny Reb - Johnny Horton
Can’t Stop Loving You - White Horse (several others incl Keith Urban & Phil Collins)
Dear J - Mare Wakefield
The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics
The Circle Is Small - Gordon Lightfoot

Is “worst” the worst acting job or the worst character?

If the latter, this daughter immediately came to mind:

Juliette Lewis as Danielle in the 1991 version of Cape Fear. Gave DeNiro’s character the opening he needed by being a whiny attention-seeking brat.

We went to Bar Harbor last June, Schoonid was on our list but never made it. If it’s an hour each way, and unless you have more than a week, there’s enough to do just in the park and nearby, in my opinion.

Go into Alex Box a little early and visit the LSU Baseball Hall of Fame/Museum on the third base side. Sort of a hidden gem for anybody interested in Tiger baseball. Google says it’s open before & during home games.
Elton John’s “Harmony”;
still haven’t figured out how to post videos
Certain Kind Of Fool - Eagles (Randy Meisner); one of my favorites, and here’s a live version I had never heard before
