I see the same thing happening at Schweitzer. I'm working at Lookout Mtn now and enjoy the vibe much more.

@@bluebirdski I guess it’s the way of things now. They try to make everything a destination resort and in the process they destroy the unique beauty of the place.

@@YouDecideIsItWorthIt Thanks, by the time we talk I'll be taking Tucker Carlson's job...ha.

@@robruf Thanks for your thoughts. I sometimes regret my rankings, but I think for what I enjoy they're correct. This place is a dream for well-to-do families. I enjoyed SkiDad's ski recommendations. He has me paying more attention to Blizzard. I seem to buy Rossignal's and I'm not sure why...ha. The ski I've fallen in love with for all mountain is the Black Crow Justice, but I need a good carver.

@@bluebirdski I really like your rankings, they are amongst the best out there. You say it like it is, please don't change that. Last time I went to Deer Valley, I went with a very well-to-do family, they stayed at the Stein Eriksen hotel and they loved it. My wife and I stayed in a condo in the Silver Lake area, however, I went there a couple of times for lunch and the spa and can really say it wasn't for me, but the location is fantastic. I like the Montage better, as you are higher up on the mountain, however, next time I think I will check out the St Regis or the new Four Seasons when it opens in next year! Blizzard have always made pretty good skis, if I had never skied on Stockli's, I would probably be on Blizzards.

It was fun. If you want to do a round two with the audio upgrade let me know when. Go Wallace!

@@huntermurray8109 you'll be golden with a shuttle, but I'd suggest asking Matt of Bramski for verification. youtube.com/@bramskivlogs?si=tYDwjSHWOTHIp3Uu

@@Mush3543 You're welcome. Hopefully unique in a good way...ha.

@ most mountain reviews only focus on the trails. The Google maps inclusion and graphics made it unique. Subscribed!

@Mush3543 thanks, been learning more and more. It is fun but getting more time consuming. Hope to keep getting better.

@@dhare321 yeah, that's awesome. The first day I wanted to go up it was gorgeous. Had to go the next day and the fog set in. That's great news, thanks!

I've been upgrading. Now I'm using a Sony a6600, GoPro 360, and GoPro 12 with a Pixel 8 pro phone. I also bought a wireless lav microphone setup I'm figuring out. Why do you ask? Happy to provide more info. Let me know.

@@AK-bw8xk the main runs are busy, but they seem to care about their terrain park. Without being a border it seems like a one plank friendly resort.

@@marklevy2092 Blinking is for wimps... I'm new to this and it is something you have to force yourself to do when using a teleprompter. On this one I was reading off my phone and it was my first attempt ever with a script.

@@KZ-yu4jz Lot of the tree skiing was terrific. Great beginner resort. My Highlands footage is too foggy to really make a video... A good excuse to get back to Aspen someday soon.

@@robruf Jackson Hole for sure. Getting all the Ikon pass resorts knocked out. Thanks!

@@angelinaoutsideI get it. I'm just not sure if I'm big time enough to live it up in Aspen. It is legendary, but I'd much rather spend time in laid back ski towns.

Thanks, I've snuck a couple edgy statements/jokes into a couple videos. I'm tempted to be a bit more of a wise ass. It happened the way I described. The women and bartender were actually great, but it truly was a bit strange.

@@tommy2days I stayed in Canmore and had a car, but there's shuttle service. Here's a link: www.skilouise.com/getting-here/by-shuttle/

@@ethanparker7900 Easy place to fall in love with.

@@bluebirdski amen brotha it would be be inhumane for anyone else to say otherwise

@@robruf I totally agree with you. I think with the high prices and general vibe in town it just isn't my jam. Ketchum Idaho/Sun Valley is the apres ski spot I've rated a ten. I should give Aspen, the town, another chance. Any suggestions besides Ajax Tavern? We didn't want to wait for a spot there and my girlfriend got a bad vibe.

@@bluebirdski I do agree with you about Clark's Oyster bar in your video, not my fav in town either. However, there are a bunch that I like, J-Bar at Hotel Jerome, Kenichi is now in both Aspen and Snowmass, pretty good sushi at affordablish prices, Catch Steak has a great bar, Madame Ushi is a pretty cool place for Japanese food, Monarch for caesar salad and steaks, W hotel bar is pretty good, St Regis bar is solid, also a few new places just opened that I am going to try this year, Jimoto, it features ramen, soup dumplings plus poke bowls, then there is Sway, a Thai restaurant, that is supposed to have a cool interior, Silverpeak Grill, burgers, tacos, fries and salads. Then there a few Mexican places, Las Montanas, Taco Pina, and Mi Chola.Then there are a bunch of speakeasy's type bars to try out, Sterling, Gin & Luck, Bad Harriett. Plus French Alpine Bistro, White House Tavern, CP Burger, Meat and Cheese for an easier hit to the wallet. I do find that making a reservation ahead of time in Aspen has helped me tremendously with getting in anywhere. I also find that once you get into a pretty good establishment such as Ajax Tavern, they have your name in there forever. Quick story, last time I went there, I didn't have a reservation for lunch, they just looked up my name and within 5 minutes I had a great table,, same with a few other establishments in town. My wife will never ski at Ajax, she loves Snowmass so much, think you agree, as it is tied with Sun Valley on your rating, so that is where we ski, but we generally go into Aspen I would say out of a 5 night trip, about 3/4 times. We live in San Francisco and have lived in NYC, so we are used to the prices and the types of personalities that frequent Aspen. Next time you are going to go, let me know and I will give you all of my insider info.

Thank you. Uploading one on Aspen Ajax tonight!

Place is awesome! So much snow and easy to get to.

@@bluebirdski The traffic is insane but it's still my favorite place to go.

@@glennplomchok5125 it will be nuts if the gondola ever happens.

@@bluebirdski Not a fan of that project

@@SR-se3qw haha, maybe at Ajax soon.

@@SloppySlow Challenge is a run off of Supreme chair.. Sugarloaf is an express quad. Did I misspeak somewhere? I've been known to do that...

This Wade Morrow?

@@dfa9305Thanks, the better I'm getting the more work they are...ha. It is fun putting them together. There's so much to approve. Once I visit most the Ikon resorts I'll likely switch to an Epic pass.

Haha, I have yet to ski Park City, but I like that people from Alta like to think it is undiscovered. Hope the gondola doesn't get approved. It will ruin its charm.

@@KZ-yu4jz You're welcome. So many great places to visit. Woody's bar and staying in Basalt really was the hookup. I wish I'd eaten at Sam's on the mountains... Heard good things. Hope to get a video out on Ajax soon.

@@bluebirdski Sam's is really good, but so are The Alpin Room and The Cabin, You might look at the prices and say robruf go and f*** yourself. However, I had a friend who thought this way and he wanted to go on the cheap, so he went to Elk Camp Restaurant and he ended up spending just about the same amount as our sit down lunch. So , guess what happened the rest of the trip, he joined us for sit down lunches at The Alpin Room and The Cabin.

@@bluebirdski You should check out Sam's,, The Alpin Room, and The Cabin. They are all pretty decent, Sam's is pretty good, I have eaten there twice now, the views are excellent. They are all sit down restaurants, they are on the pricier side when you look at the menu at first. However, when you go to a sit down place such as Elk Camp and see the prices they charge, it all adds up to about the same amount. Would you rather be in a nicely decorated sit down restaurant with proper silverware and plates that also has a low noise level or would you rather be with a bunch of kids screaming and yelling about everything. I know which one I will chose all the time!

@@lamismomin9115 If you have an Ikon pass it is included. If not, you'll pay over $200.

I'd love to see your spreadsheet and thanks! I suggest Banff to a lot of people who love Utah and Colorado. Last year was my first time skiing in Colorado, and I fell in love with the sun and altitude. So far, Copper is my highest rated. I personally am partial to Sun Valley. Thanks again!

@@richarddeblaquiere8443 Sandpoint Marty will have to go with Meat stick.

@@TimConway-wb5ox haha, I know. I'm learning. Watch my Winter Park video. I've toned it down.

Thanks, I'm trying to add something new each time. The Google Earth stuff is fun but time consuming.

🎿❄️

The history of skiing in Revelstoke is immense. I should have clarified it was this 'version' of the resort that's only 20 years or so old.

​​@@BramskiVlogsFound this link. Summarizes the history well. seerevelstoke.com/where-it-all-began-over-100-years-of-ski-history-in-revelstoke/

Right on! It was awesome, thanks again!

I missed listening live but totally enjoying watching it now!

​@@user-tb4fm5cd9h it was fun to be a part of !

Thanks! I'd love to spend a few days there. So much to explore.

Panorama is underrated for sure. The locals call it in the donut hole. Basically, meaning everybody gets snow but them. If you go there when it has some snow you'll love it. The views are stellar.

for this*

Yeah, it has a reputation for being an expert only only, but it really isn't. There's something for everyone. The music is all from Epidemic sound. If you want the name of the song let me know. I can probably find it. www.epidemicsound.com/

@@bluebirdski Highest vertical drop for a ski resort in Nth America though right?

@@someguy2972 Yes, per ChatGPT: The ski resort with the most vertical drop in North America is Revelstoke Mountain Resort in British Columbia, Canada, with a staggering 5,620 feet (1,713 meters) of vertical drop. It offers incredible terrain for advanced skiers and backcountry enthusiasts.

Terrific! One of my first reviews. It is a special place. There's also a lot of back country in the area. This is definitely a resort many have strong feelings for. I hope to do a review for Jax this winter. I'm from Schweitzer and that's likely the future for Red.

@bluebirdski I've skied a lot of places in the US, mostly ikon resorts. Pretty good tele skier and looking fwd to reds glades assuming snows good. Jax is Gr8 but man it gets busy. So much so that ikon holders need to make a reservation. I loath the tram and its an hour wait on busy days. Red seems really chill like Jax 30yrs ago.

​@@bluebirdskialso, as you get into the ski review thing, check out this guy for ideas and style. Srg skiing. He's pretty good. Maybe a little bit too much minutiae but it might help you formulate some future reviews

@@jeffreyd1156 ua-cam.com/video/SNg82av7sS8/v-deo.htmlsi=3quFYr2BGKaj48-x My newest review. Any suggestions? Something I should add or remove? Working on Aspen Snowmass now.

@bluebirdski will check it out this afternoon and get back to you

@@melcookehome haven't been there in 15 years, but heard it is getting crazy. I'd love Red more if it had high speed chairs. My highest rated resorts are Copper and Sun Valley. Notice people are very loyal to Red. I get why. In Canada, Revelstoke is my favorite.

I totally agree. I fixed it on the last two. Thanks! Maybe I should say I'm getting better at it...ha. ua-cam.com/video/SNg82av7sS8/v-deo.html

@@Chalkyboy There's a lot of skiing. Have fun! Thank you

@@mbtravel7294 Not bad. Most of my video is from a weekday.

Lots of crowds but you can avoid and ski pow all day if you know where you are going

@@Babenand Awesome info! Thanks so much.

@@durial702 Utah's awesome and hard to beat.
