"Other trouble spots include milepost 72 near the Stevens Pass summit, where there are several miles of the road which have been completely eroded" Several miles. Brutal

Ski Season 2025/2026
Really the only things I've seen are multi-day packs at places like A-Basin or maybe "cheap" rates at smaller mountains but if its an Epic resort, you're pretty much fully screwed. Even their friends and family rates are pretty absurd.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
No, they can F off with 95% of AI usage. Now back to our regularly scheduled Longhorn thread. Central Texas data centers consume millions of gallons of water daily, according to an Austin Chronicle investigation published last week. Midsized data centers use approximately 300,000 gallons daily while large data centers can use as many as 4.5 million gallons per day, the Chronicle reports. Austin alone has 47 data centers while Dallas-Fort Worth has the most in the state at 189 facilities. A report by the Houston Advanced Research Center estimates data centers statewide will use 49 billion gallons of water this year. The facilities use the water to cool their powerful computers, which generate significant heat. Further exacerbating the strain on natural resources, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman broke ground last year on Abilene’s Stargate Texas data center, a $500 billion project announced by President Donald Trump in January. With a size 60 acres larger than Central Park, Stargate is soon to be the largest data center in the world, whether the parched landscape — or its electrical grid — can handle it or not. The facility is expected to use enough energy to power 750,000 homes, the Chronicle reports, while also being a massive drain on the water supply.

Got some brisket... good and moist... and sausage. Former pitmaster from Rolling Smoke.- Texas BBQ
Anyone hit up Two Goose on S. Lamar? Pretty good stuff. So, random... anyone tried one of those 7 lb holiday hams from Rudy's?- Austin dreams
Haven't been there since we moved to Austin. Used to really like their margaritas.- Ski Season 2025/2026
I think we'll get a three day pass to A-Basin, one day at Copper and then either Loveland or WP unless someone knows a secret way to get cheap tix at Keystone (which is a no)- Austin dreams
Seems before me. 5 1/2 years since we made the move back and no regrets.- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Nailin antifungal?- Ski Season 2025/2026
So I'm curious about Monarch especially the hike-out terrain but I wonder how long it will keep us occupied beyond 2 days, maybe 3. I want to ski it - Salida looks like a great town and I guess Cooper is 1:15 and Copper Mountain is 1:30 away from Salida.- Ski Season 2025/2026
Right now we've got the Dillon place on hold. Really pissed I didn't buy some Epic Day passes in advance but I hate how they force you to decide especially on a year when you can't trust the snow.- Ski Season 2025/2026
Arapahoe was my favorite for years until I went to Crested Butte. Such a great mountain... can't wait to introduce my son. Last two ski visits were in May so Pallavicini had stopped spinning so we should be good in March. I'm excited. Such a fun mountain!- Ski Season 2025/2026
Have a friend who has a cabin right by there. Brutal. I mean, they won't even show you a live feed... Equally depressing - https://www.mtbachelor.com/the-mountain/webcams/- Ski Season 2025/2026
Well, since I'm mostly talking to myself here, here's what we're going to do for Spring Break (I might change my mind) Rented a condo in Dillon for five days of skiing. I'm basically going to do what I used to do in college... wake up and say, where do we want to ski today (esp factoring in weather) A-Basin and Loveland are not far and have "reasonable" day rates Keystone is closest... day pass sucks since Epic closed the window but for one day, maybe I'll suck it up. There's a lot of advanced terrain I've never skied there. Never skied the Outback or the Bowls. Winter Park... its an hour but could maybe meet a friend there who can get me cheaper tickets on his Ikon Pass. Then there's Copper Mountain... haven't skied in years but used to love Copper Mountain. Not going to Breck unless its to hit up the town. Thoughts? Stupid? BTW, I'm happing hitting up mostly A-Basin if the weather is good and the terrain is open. Note: Austin spring break does not align with Houston but it does line up with Dallas. Skiing would be only M-F.- Sherrone Moore's Michigan Meltdown - Staffers, Breakups, Extortion, Cover-Ups, Firings, Knives, Assaults, Breakdowns, Arrests
Thank you for this... now I know what I'm buying for a white elephant party.- Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.
Hey so I really hope we play and destroy Michigan but if they drop out or are uninvited (is that even possible?), they should try to get Notre Dame. They've got an opening on their calendar and it would be great to beat down the domers.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Can we put some of our fan base on the hot seat?- Tell Me About Texas a&m
C-statudent- We're the Cheeziest party at Immamac's House Dec 31 2025 - Texas VS Michigan
Allright... we'll see if we're in town. Maybe maybe may bring a 16-year old who is probably exposed to jr. degenerates on a daily basis so we likely will not stunt his growth. - Texas BBQ
