  1. Just finished my week at Vail. Last run was Riva Ridge, top to bottom (including Tourist Trap). Fresh 8" and still coming down. Need 70 close so I can stay another day!
  2. 10” in Vail so far today and still coming down. Tomorrow morning on the Back Bowls is going to be epic.

  4. Pulled into Vail at 3:30pm today. Drinks at Bad Kitty. Pazzo's for dinner. Blue Sky Basin by 10:30am tomorrow.
  5. Reddit thread says he's going to Chicago FWIW. He's from Austin (Westlake). Wouldn't surprise me if he makes his way back here some day.
  6. Does anyone in Austin really give a shit about these? I live in West Lake Hills, so doesn't really impact me, but seems unfair to adjacent streets. I have noticed them when I'm cutting through Bouldin to get to Polvos or El Mercado on S. 1st.
  7. Austin Biz Journal article today that Waterloo Records is expected to lose their location at the end of their current lease term (per the article, 3 years appx from now). Endeavor is planning on re-developing that site (although article mentions that they might be able to lease space in the new project, that never happens in my experience). When I first moved to town they were just across Town Lake on South Lamar. @YGIFS you know anything about this travesty?
  8. Going to Vail end of this month for 6 days and looking to book one more trip before the season is over. Never skied Jackson Hole. Website shows they've had almost 300" of snow this season and don't close until mid-April. Thoughts on going there end of March or first week of April?
  9. I have no clue. Just saw it when we were picking up Chinatown to go the other night. We ate at the pizza joint (Love Pizza maybe?) during the 2023 Icepocalypse that knocked out power throughout the Westlake area. It looked like it was only a temporary setup on the inside. A good Tex-Mex place with a bar would be a cool addition there. Decent enough parking and Rollingwooders can stumble home.

  11. "Coming Soon" signage is up for a Pepita's Cafe & Bar in the same center as Chinatown in Rollingwood. Anyone know anything about this place?
  12. Crazy finish in the Scotland v France match. Looked like Scotland scored at the end but was called as held up. France wins.

    Tex Mex

    Tres Amigos, but that was probably 20 years ago.
  14. In 1983, after finishing up classes my freshman year of college, buddy and I spent a week in the Vail/Beaver Creek area. We played 18 holes of golf one morning and then jumped in our car and drove over to A-Basin and skied in the afternoon (along with many CU coeds skiing in bikinis). Been hard topping that over the years.
  15. In my experience, starting in mid-March the conditions really start to deteriorate in New Mexico. I would never plan on a trip in April. Frankly, now that my kids are grown I don't ski in New Mexico after the first week of March to both avoid the slushy conditions and Texas/Oklahoma spring break. We're going to his Vail in early March and then hopefully Park City the first week of April.
  16. In Angel Fire for a few days. Been coming here for 20+ years. Currently some of the best conditions I've seen in years. 81/82 runs open, which is almost unheard of as 4 or 5 of the black runs (hiking access only) are often not open the entire season. Plus no crowds at all this week. Heading over to Taos in the morning. Conditions there look equally as good and crowns also look pretty thin based on webcams.

    Tex Mex

    It's in our regular rotation. Food is fresh, salsa is good and there's rarely a wait. Perfectly fine. Nothing really stands out though.
  18. Yeah. France struggling without Dupont and now a man down with two yellows on their lock. Ireland looking to make this a blowout.
  19. Six Nations starts this weekend. First match is Friday at 2pm between defending champs Ireland and France. France is the oddsmakers favorite this year. All matches will be on Peacock.

    Burgers

    Had the burger at Sour Duck today. Damn good burger, but I wasn't a huge fan of the fry sauce. Need to try the chicken sandwich next time. They also have hop water on the menu which was nice for dry January. Anyone tried the burger at Odd Duck? Looks like from the menu that it's a totally different burger than Odd Duck.

    BBQ

    anyone tried this place? opinions? Briscuits
  22. Back in the 90s, the hotel on 11th and 35 that is now a Sheraton had a sign mounted on the wall as you walked from the entrance west to Red River that basically said don't go down that way after dark. Surprised that the Driskill hasn't put something like that on a sandwich board outside of the 1886 Cafe. I may miss Gordo's and Joe's Generic, but I ain't going down there anymore except for Pecan Street Festival for people watching.
  23. I don't understand what Dillard's exit strategy is since they own fee title to their store. I guess they just fire sale it back to Simon when they ultimately decide to redevelop.
  24. @YGIFS what's going on at the Wells Fargo in front of Honey Ham? Construction dumpster and Honey Bucket set up today.
