Getting chippy here in Boca. Game is over but Toledo is over on the Louisville bench area

TD cards, up 14-3

Heading to the Boca bowl soon for Louisville vs Toledo. Should be a decent game I hope?

It's -8*F feels like -16*F currently here in Alaska. I think the highest temp has been 2*F feels like -6F while skiing. There may be some snow here, but after about an hr to an hr and a half me and a buddy had to call it each of the last 3 days. Ready for 80 degree temps tomorrow!

Flight from Seattle to Anchorage was oversold by 10 people, offer got up to $1200. I'm usually all over that but meeting someone at anchorage airport

What time of day? I flew out last year day after Christmas and ATL was busy but not chaotic. Generally I'd suggest the first flight out of the day just to beat the chaos

Headed to Alaska in 2.5 weeks, will get a few early season days in there! Weather pattern looks to be shifting to PNW favor in the next week or two so fingers crossed for y'all

Looking for a good mountain to try for my girlfriend and myself. I don’t mind a difficult-to-reach mountain; more interested in good snow chance/less crowd, which probably means hard to reach

The snow pattern looks to be changing over the next week or two. When you say new years, do you mean right before or right after? 1/1 is on a Thursday this year so it's going to be crowded at most resorts that week. If you're going the week after, likely empty at most.

Places that have caught my eye that I don’t know much about: Crested Butte, Big Sky, Whistler

Whistler would be a good one. PNW looks to be getting hit with a lot of snow over next few weeks.

Schweitzer ID is a tough to get to mountain, but once you're there would be a good beginner mountain to learn on for the gf. Fun stuff for you to ski in the back. They have hotels and stuff at the mountain itself. I've also never found Schweitzer to be obnoxiously crowded whenever I've gone even on a Saturday/Sunday. Fly into spokane WA and drive two hours.

Other one I can think of immediately is Big Sky. Tons of ski in/ski out places and a huge mountain for both of you to explore. About an hr from Bozeman.

Maybe mammoth mountain in CA? It's a 5 hr drive from LA or 3 hours from Reno, but once you're there there's a ton of places to stay in town and take the gondola to the mountain. It's a huge mountain too so lots of terrain to explore. Plus lots of restaurants and bars.

Just my take :cheers:

As a kid growing up in the northeast, I surprisingly had not been to the WTC. So my dad took me and a sibling up to the top of the tower on a beautiful saturday. Can still remember my ears popping on the elevator. This was 2 weeks before 9/11

Only other thing I've got was two years ago I flew up to Alaska to go skiing Christmas week at Alyeska. I flew on Alaska airlines from Seattle up there on a 739 Max plane N704AL. I was sitting in a window seat behind the exit row by ~10 rows or so. This ended up being the plane that had the door/window blow out on the flight from Portland airport on January 5th last year due to damaged rivets. The plane already had indicated its first cabin depressurization 'Auto Fail' apparently by the time I had ridden on that plane.Thankfully no one died when that door blew out on the flight from Portland

Pribula is terrible

:lol: maybe I just needed to jynx him, nice two passes back to back
