I seriously doubt anyone is. My guess is the developer wanted it changed to the name of their $Billion investment that they are building for marketing purposes and used the offensiveness as an excuse.


They now have a bunch of baws from across the country talking about their new development that otherwise would have never heard of it.

This is right. What Bob Bass wants, he gets in FW. This was his ask.

I went through this research last year, although my kids are much younger, and we knew they weren't going to appreciate a fancy trip. We landed on Steamboat and had a good trip. Pretty easy and affordable flights in, easy to get transport to the mountain, good bus system to get you around town. Overall a good value ski trip with fun skiing and activities at the base. I'd suggest you look into it and compare pricing to the other choices on your list. I found it to be 30-40% cheaper than the other options when factoring flights and hotel.

ETA: look at Vacasa website and specifically the Torian Plum. Great location and value in my opinion. Even cheaper as you go up the side of the mountain and Vacasa runs a fantastic shuttle service.

We go a couple times a year with a group of work guys. Our consensus favorite spot is still Tao for what you’ve said you’re looking for.

ETA: The scenery there is also top notch, if you catch the drift.

Sorry thought this was the 2025 thread

Thanks for the responses. We booked with Roger. Private van and should be dependable. Car seats. $440 rather than $600. Seems to be best of an expensive proposition.

Shuttles appear to be $60/pp each way from airport to ski area. Has anyone found a cheaper option? Taking 3 adults and 2 kids (both should be using car seats). Seems expensive to pay $600 to get to and from the airport 30 minutes away. Hoping someone here has solved this problem already.

was my first thought... always enjoy vists there.

Yes I grew up hunting the area. Shongaloo has some good deer, especially along dorcheat creek, but they get a lot of pressure. Lots of hunters in the area. Maybe you’ve got a nice honey hole and it works out. Just try for a year and see. I’ve seen some nice bucks come out from around there and Leton. Even on public land.

I hunted more toward the east side of Springhill and it was pretty brutal to manage deer on less than 500 acres. If it had antlers it was getting shot at by neighbors. Couldn’t get shite going on our 80 acres. Now hunting east and central Texas, I laugh thinking about how hard I hunted Webster parish just to see spikes and does every third hunt. It was a beating but gave me patience.

Plenty of discussion surrounding the north Louisiana country music scene in the 60s and 70s, as well as Tracy's breakthrough in the early 90s.

That cotton bowl versus the Aggies was fun. TT had a great game. He was largely responsible for at least a couple wins, so that’s more than most who come through the program can say.
