The Canyons has good tree skiing and other off trail type terrain, but if you're looking for the more traditional long runs, I like PC better. I always feel like I'm just skiing to get somewhere in the Canyons, as opposed to just enjoying the runs. I also prefer the base area and Main St area in PC. The Canyons has some beautiful ski in/out homes on the mountain, but they're priced accordingly and not convenient to the base or town. Maybe if I were going with a large group that could all afford a grand ski lodge home on the mountain and we were planning to cook meals most nights in the house, then I could get behind The Canyons. If you want a convenient ski in/out hotel/condo in walking distance to Main St, I'd recommend Park City. You can always take the Gondola across to ski The Canyons one day, or vice versa.

Texas Hill county resorts outside of San Antonio. JW Marriott and Hyatt Regency resorts are nice, even if you never leave the property. But you have options of the river walk and Sea World if you choose to get out.

Scotch is widely variable in its taste profiles. Without knowing his preference for peated and non-peated whisky, I'd stick to something non-peated. If he doesn't like peat, then he won't drink a peated bottle, but almost all scotch drinkers will at least drink the non-peated versions, even if its not their preference. A couple easily found, but not basic and overly commercialized bottles, would be Oban 14 and Aberlour 12. They will be under $100, but some of the longer aged bottles could get more expensive. :cheers:

I'm between Cat Island and Angola Hwy. I'm seeing younger bucks actively chasing and cruising this week. The mature deer have disappeared from my cell cams, maybe they're locked down.

I've always enjoyed Mantra, it's been my local go to for Indian.

There should never be a limit on fish, ducks, or women. They are all too unpredictable and you should mop up when you get your chance. :cheers:

It feels very much like we will play the old Western division schedule in even years and then play the old Eastern division schools in the odd years. The even years will feel familiar and the odd years will take some getting used to. We better continue make our hay in the odd years, as has been the case the last 20 years.

Barcar is around the corner from Hog Alley, and is a little fancier if that’s what you’re looking for. Rooftop bar with good tv’s and cocktails. You could try both atmospheres to see what suits your mood.

Fly into SLC and spend a day or two in Park City which is only a 30 min drive from the airport (SLC is not a very fun city for a home base). Then drive to Jackson, Wyoming for a couple nights and see the Tetons. Fly out of Jackson. Park City and Jackson are both great mountain towns that don't require camping or hiking if that's not your thing.

Otherwise, go south from SLC and enjoy southern Utah. You'd be better off skipping Wyoming in this case.

I completely understand and often prescribe to the thought that traditional foods should be eaten the traditional way. I rarely ever ask the server to send it any other way than how it’s offered.

Poboy dressed is mayo, lettuce, tomato (and maybe pickle).

However, explain to me why we all use some version of ketchup/cocktail/hot sauce on fried seafood when we eat it as a fried fish/shrimp/oyster platter, but then stick our noses up at ketchup on a poboy?

I really think that’s partially what sets Olde Tyme grocery apart from the rest. They add ketchup to fried seafood poboy. All it needs after that is hot sauce of your choice. Don’t argue against ketchup if you typically dip your fried seafood in it otherwise. It’s hypocritical. Down vote away.

The Roosevelt is the answer. The lights and ambience of the lobby, with a Sazerac for you, and a Ramos gin fizz for her. That’s what you’re looking for.
