I'm putting together the weekly ski report for my paper - we are going to publish it every Thursday in one of our weekly "magazines". Anyways, I am going to be putting it together each week and have a space for my weekly picks/tips section. What I'm going to do is pick a "road trip of the week" somewhere in the RM west (reasonable week-end road trip distance from here) or other times do a "tip of the week" or "cool product of the week". Any of you guys have any suggestions or want me to talk about your area, post it here, eh? For trips I'll hit anything in the west, lower 48. I'm just looking for insider's info about places, ways to get lift ticket deals, places to eat, stay, etc. I would much rather take a Maggot point of view rather than just the usual touristy-fluff from resort's websites, etc. The mag we are putting it in is directed to the college and younger readers, etc.

Thanks!
