    Well done on all aspects. Skied Telluride many times and your commentary is quite accurate. Your choice of staying in town rather than in the purpose built village was, IMO, the right choice, especially for someone wanting to experience the American West. But your enthusiasm is what makes watching so fun. Thanks.

    I’m actually in telluride right now, and I’ve been skiing here every year since I was 2. Telluride truly is incredible, I absolutely love it!! They have sooo many runs, so you can never get bored!! It’s not really the best place for beginners, as it only has two green runs, but it’s so so amazing! I have no complaints at all!!

Assuming the world gets back to a somewhat normal state, I will make Jacksonhole an anual trip for myself going forward.

    I skied all over Europe for 15 years and all over America for the last 35 years.

Our local resort Bridger Bowl has has everything and a lot more that I can no longer handle at my age. Here is one video from a few years back . Not one of me I might add.

    Only just found this Telluride vid, so apols for late comment (was led here by Robbie's more recent vids, eg 3 Vallées - btw, you should have done Jerusalem off the top of the Les Saluires lift out of Meribel (one of the finest runs in Europe), then continued on into St.-Martin-de-Belleville (great spot for lunch or afternoon stop - off the top of St.M.-de-B. lift you have an easy scoot into Les Menuires, eventually via the green Allouette straight into downtown central Les M.).
    Anyway, back to Telluride ...
    skied there several times and it's without doubt my favourite Front Range place (though A. Basin has great merit) - done the Vail/Beaver Creek (saw Glen Campbell gig there), Aspen, Breck, Keystone, Copper, Steamboat thing, as well as Deer Valley, Park City, Snowbird/Alta, Brighton/Solitude Upr. & Lwr. Cottonwood Canyon, etc. etc. thing,
    (uuuew, get me 😁😁)
    (and apologies to many others too numerous to mention)
    but Telluride remains firm favourite.
    No mention of Spiral Staircase but good to see The Plunge getting an honourable mention
    (& did you not put your fingers into the bullet holes of the old bank counter from the Cassidy & Sundance raid that's now the New Sheridan Hotel (not much "New" about the structure, though internal facilities are more than adequate)?
    By the way, throughly enjoy your videos - they are so realistic, so unpretentious;
    and best of all, not shouty, attention-seeking, exaggerated, over-egged, sensationalist visuals & audio
    - your ski trips are very much in the same mode as we like to do our ski trips, either in Europe or N. America;
    in fact, you've planted the idea to do E. Europe more often with your Slovakia + Zakopane vid - Kranska Gora now definitely on the agenda
    (flts to/from Llubijana or Klagenfurt prob).
    Like yourself, I have suffered with mental health issues, so I feel a definite empathy for your observations and perspectives;
    like you, I have a wonderful set of friends - my friends have been an inspiration to get me back on my feet (and my skis) after my health crumples;
    your friends do seem very real to me, and I would love to ski with you and them one day.
    Best Wishes & Warmest Greetings from Austria.

    I published a ski magazine for 10 years and skied pretty much every ski area in North America. All the major resorts are overcrowded, overpriced, and full of people trying to impress each other. My favorite ski area? Big Powderhorn a few miles from the Lake Superior shore on Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula. More than 200 inches of real powder snow most years, some runs left ungroomed even days after a dump, short or no life lines even on weekends and holidays, a season pass for under $400, lodging and restaurant prices way lower than out west or in New England, friendly people. A family can spend a week at Big Powderhorn at a total cost of about 25 percent of skiing out West.

    • @RobbieKnox
      @RobbieKnox  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That sounds incredible Joseph, I'm going to look it up now. A lot of American resorts are so expensive to visit from the UK, as lift tickets for a week are often twice the price of European resorts. Thanks so much for the tip, will hopefully have a video from there in the coming years!

      I grew up skiing Powderhorn, Blackjack and Indianhead. While nice especially by Midwest standards and if you’re a kid learning and advancing its not in the same ball park as CO ski resorts. Not close. The runs are very intermediate, flat and relatively short. There’s only a few hundred yards here and there of steep expert terrain. None at Powderhorn. The views are mundane compared to the spectacular Rockies. The slopes aren’t beautiful - all are lined with spindly 3rd grade small hardwood trees due to rape and pillage logging operations historically. Why these resorts didn’t start replanting conifers (white pine, white spruce...) in the 1960’s - 2000 I’ll never know. They’d look so good by now and give all the resorts a much more beautiful appearance. There’s virtually no decent bars or restaurants - all tacky “north woods” typical bars and grease food. Hey I loved them as a teenager on a very limited budget. But today at my age - bleh. I’m far too good of a skier for the UP to hold my interest for more than 3 runs. Give me Winter Park, Vail, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands, Arapahoe, Steamboat... slopes, snow conditions, ambiance every day of the week. For intermediate skiers who want nice skiing on a tight budget the UP is very nice.

      @@mrsmartypants_1 The biggest reason is the ancient lift systems in most American resorts (I'm sure some are modern), but European lifts are generally more modern, quicker and better prepared to deal with harsher weather for example heated 4,6 and 8 man chairs with wind cowls. US resorts shut down at even the slightest breeze.
      The other difference is that not that many American resorts are actually resorts, they're just a mountain with a car park at the bottom. There is literally nothing else to do in many of them. (I'm aware there elare exceptions before you mention Vail, Park City etc)
      Lift passes are laughably over priced. I can ride for a week in Europe in a resort bigger than anything in North America for the cost of a day and a half ticket in USA.
      Mountain restaurants are terrible and over priced instead of the 5 euro a beer standard you get over here.
      There is also rarely any atmosphere or decent Apres Ski and the only way you can get to these resorts is to drive.
      I'm not saying they are bad places to go for a day, but in general they are so far behind its laughable. I understand the market is different in America and because you get such terrible holiday entitlement you go to these places for a couple of days in general rather than a week or two, but from my point of view they lookoke Europe in the 1980's

      Our one-day trip to Grand Targhee had one of their top 5 snow days - it was snowing heavily when we arrived and the bus driver suggested renting powder skis (I'd never done that) and regret not getting them as even though they'd groomed the runs there was about 10" snow on the beginner track when they opened the lifts, and people were getting stuck up to their arm-pits coming down the blue run to the base - they were asking snowboarders to press down the snow for them. I had powder up to my knees - it was an amazing day - really deep powder.
