On Sunday we did some extreme skiing/boarding with Tor, Kathy, Mim, Kat, Rachael, Jessica and Annette. The video speaks for itself...
The snow is amazing right now. It's been dumping since Sunday. I hit the Mt. Rose chutes yesterday and can finally say that they are ready to go. The conditions will be great this weekend.

We just went back and added up all of our expenses from our trips to Turkey and SE Asia. I'm sharing these to help anyone who is planning a similar trip.
The quality of our hotels, food and travel was everything from budget to fairly comfortable. We stayed at hotels/guest houses/bungalows that ranged from very low end ($5/night) to fairly high end ($60/night) by SE Asian standards. We ate everything from street buffets ($.50/meal) to some nice places ($20/meal). In general we skipped the long bus rides and took short flights (2 in Turkey and 4 in Asia) within or between countries.
There were people traveling on a fraction of our budget but this was nothing near the level of cost or comfort we know from business or personal travel under normal circumstances.
Anyone traveling alone could probably assume about 55-60% of the cost for a similar trip since most (but not all) of our expenses were per person.
If you are looking to trim down the expense you can probably do much better than we did on the main flights to and from Turkey/Thailand. We booked both with fairly short notice.
Here's how it broke down.
Turkey (July)
Travel Days: 30
Cash + ATM + Credit Card: $4,636
