All Activity

$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...

Did a day trip from Sacramento. Nice area, more of a local ski area feel here, with some nice runs and good snow. Stayed on the front side. Took a run from the top with the grandkids on greens and then a bunch on the learner hill. Pretty heavy snow but not mashed. Pretty good base still. The fire came really close to the lodge

Felt weird staying in this morning. Not that it matters but judging by the webcams there's no way they would have been able to open this weekend.

Jeff sniped me coming out of the woods that gradually became unskiable. They were pretty good until they weren’t!

Crazy melt up there but Tom stuff is the best stuff

I talked to a lady patroller on the gondy who had awesome stories about the traverse out there which makes me sorry it wasn't open. Pony was running and that was super good until the afternoon sun really baked it so I definitely want to get back out and hit Mahogany.

I'm skiing buttermilk tomorrow and am in town all week with my brother if you want to take some laps hit me up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After wrecking yesterday I went to the clinic where they pronounced I royally fucked my deltoid which has to be the dumbest injuries ever but I did decide to wash the sand out of my vag and rally at the tbar. The boat was reporting 3 inches new today and with blue skies and warm temps it was a super nice day. I can't really move my right arm at all so while lefty is normal I have to trex righty and hold it up against my body. This brought on much hilarity in things like trying to carry my skis or put my jacket on but it also means I'm no judge of conditions as my wings were clipped. Pow I was super off balance in the transition and just went full straights only, groomers I can only really turn right but fwiw I thought it was super good albeit heavyish snow. The crowds started to show up around noon and I bet the boat can get super crowded but the lines were neglible and I trexed my way down the hill all day with much happiness. For me getting older and having to ski anyway other than how I want is nightmare fuel but I did find even making unbalanced doodle turns at slow for me speeds I still had a great time and enjoyed myself. I'll turn the dial back up as soon as my arm works again but I gotta say I don't fear the reaper so much anymore and I gotta give the boat mad props for that alone.

Day 69. Sunny, but conditions held up.

Jeff, Tom, Dan skied stratton yesterday afternoon. Mostly cloudy spring snow, with just a little mist for out last runs. 12 people were there. Today Jeff, Tom and Dan skied sugarbush and, boy was it wonderful. Soft down low from the start under sunny skies. Coverage is not as good as last year. Castlerock is pretty bare, as well as some other favs. Tom did Tom stuff, which is ski some trees with some hiking all in the same run. Saw some Blue dudes. gate house on our way out. Jeff and Tom hitting the steps on the way out. kmart tomorrow hopefully for a few hours before the rain sets in.

Winter is back here. Got some decent snow. Crickets at Snowmass. Powder stashes all over. Was really nice. started out in sunshine, then clouds and light snow. Buttermilk closes 4/6, Highlands 4/13, Snowmass 4/19 and 4/20 for Aspen Mountain

My wife’s famous chili in the camper for us. Heading to Sierra Tahoe on Saturday. 3 foot of snow on top this week.

The beginner hill is right next to it. Our truck is a dually, so it is noticeably more stable in wind than a single rear wheel.

lol this gave me a nice chuckle.

Yeah looking at the trail report, it's Mahogany Ridge and closed for the season. I've ridden some of stuff in that section when it was out of bounds but now it's lift served. I think my favorite trees there were Triangle trees and Closets/Shadows, both off storm peak lift. I don't remember most of the trails names there either as I was always following my buddy, who skis crazy fast everywhere.
