We are going to be traveling all over the western US this winter, and we want to meet you to hear your thoughts on skiing and snowboarding, drink some coffee or craft beer, and maybe make a few turns (preferably after a coffee rather than a beer).
Here’s our schedule of the next couple months. You should note that it takes very organized and intelligent people to put together all the details of a long and complex trip months in advance, and we are neither of those things.
This schedule is pretty nailed down until the end of the year, but there are still a few loose ends to tie up for our plans in the new year. So, things might change a bit.
If you’d like to meet up while we’re in your town, just drop us a line on our Facebook page or Twitter. Don’t forget to follow us so you know when we show up!
If you have any suggestions on things to see or places to eat, let us know in the comments below!
We visited Wyoming from December 15th – 23rd and hit up Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee. There was epic powder. Check out the photos from the trip and the locals we met up with!

It’s going to be a sweet trip. First Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows. Then Sugar Bowl, Sierra at Tahoe, and Heavenly. We’re working on getting to Heavenly Valley as well, but we’ll have to see how that goes. Keep your fingers crossed for us! At any rate, this is what we have planned so far.

What about Oregon??? There’s Mt. Bachelor and Mt. Hood Meadows, for starters. Yes, sometimes Mt. Hood is known for its “Cascade concrete” snow, but we’re skiing well into April, if not May most years! (and Timberline is open all summer) Show Oregon some love!
You are totally right Linda! I’d love to see Mount Bachelor and Mount Hood. I’ve heard awesome things about them both. though I’ve never heard of the Cascade concrete
. If you guys are open that late, maybe we can make it there later in the spring. Right now the only thing preventing us from visiting is time constraints. We certainly don’t lack the desire!
If you haven’t bounced for CA yet, we’d suggest swinging by Moonlight. It’s dumping out & well worth the wait. Happy to show your crew around.
