Yeah if ski season is over around here then warm tf up. Low supposed to hit 19 degrees tonight.

My car said roads may be icy WTF

Ugh. Kept trying to attach wrong screen print and ran out of time.

And then some. Not quite 1.2. Below is resort stats. It's missing a ton of scans for lifts with lazy lifties, but they over-credit for chair 2, so the actual numbers are very slightly higher. Like 7000 feet.

yeah, boot liners come out every night and go onto the dryers. Congratulations!

Better to ask forgiveness than permission...

You hit a million?

Yeah, I bring the boots home every time. Two or three times their fire sprinklers went off and there was water coming down from the ceiling. I don't care if my skis get wet, but the boots are another thing. Finished 83rd on the vert list.

Now I just need to convince them to let me drill a hole in my locker to pass a cable from a battery bank to a solar panel so I can also leave the boot warmer and glove dryer in there, lol

Yeah, I could see that, especially if you have a shit-ton of equipment that you have to lug back/forth from home.

Fun overcast Spring day at Belle with junior - lot's of soft snow, some bumps, a little mud and grass! Rain soaked snow stayed pretty fast through the morning then got sticky after lunch when he sun poke through the clouds a bit

I did too, but I'm back in next season, lol. Just too convenient to leave the gear at the hill, especially with the kids. And being able to stash an extra pair of goggles, gloves, etc came in handy more than once

Blue kept jacking up the price of a locker each year too. Once it broke $200, I punted. It just wasn't worth the price of admission anymore. Walking to the car to swap out skis, etc. gives me the opportunity to have a beer break too. Of course, the walk to the car isn't very far, so YMMV.

$590. It used to be around $100. It's nuts. I'm sure it'll be $625 next season.

How much does whitefish charge for a locker? I enjoy a combination of skiing alone and with others..I give you major props at your commitment to skiing and sharing it with others.

Day 71. Closing day. All goals met and exceeded. I hope next year I can say the same. Only stayed until noon.

I mostly ski alone. I might ski a run or share a lift with others I know, but, like me, they don't like "pack skiing." People party on the mountain in costume and get drunk. I exit when they start dong stupid stuff. My locker room buddies are all busy emptying their lockers. Most are, like me, old as dirt, because there's an 8 year waiting list and you're going to be pretty old before you think you want to pay that kind of money, then you have to wait for one of us to die. One couple I ski with is back in Florida, emptying their house so they can move here in May. But I expect we'll see them all year round once they move. I guess other than them, everyone else is an actual LOCAL. Like, I'll see them at the grocery store. It's not a metro area. People don't vanish.

@saltyant this is getting good.

Wow just wow and tell Barb I said hi.

I remember why I never want to leave this place. We went Buttermilk first thing as its their closing with the fresh snow and like 4 people there it was absolute pinch me shit until 11 or so. Crazy views of Pyramid, super sun and perfect temps with untracked to your hearts content. After tie hack was tracked out we over to west and found even more. When you found a line you liked you could just go back move 5ft over and ski it again. Buttermilk is super meadowskippy but we skipped the fuck out of the meadows and it was glorious. Around lunch I went to visit the queens of slay at Snowmass, it was super nice to catch up with Barb and Snowmass is staying open until 6. I skied mad laps and am eating a cheesesteak at Zanes but I'm gonna go back out and ski for 2 more hrs. My arm is still all janky though improved, putting a jacket on is more a seductive stripper like move but none of it matters. Beam me the fuck up, I'm never leaving the mothership.

More pow stashes today. Bonus that I got to see @Johnny Law’s pink pants in person!

Sibhusky do you do any sort of season ending party with your skiing buddies?

Day 70. Hit goal for day count. Don't normally ski Saturday, but... goals. It was pretty nice. Crowds showed up late.

Today, Jeff, Tom, and Dan skied Kmart. Sadly, it was like skiing in PA with a drive. Temps were low enough overnight to leave us with a mix of sugah, boiler plate and firm snow. Still leaving VT with a smile as we knew today wasnt going to be the day yesterday was. We beat the rain and stayed dry. On the way home now. pic of some trails with snow on them. saw Blue dudes again.

The season at Blue with everyone was good for the soul... Was interesting skiing for most of the season...
