Superstar getting hammered; view from below Rhyme/Teason ( with a sweet pair of rtms in the foreground), gondola at 9am, virw from the top.

Saturday opening at Loveland! Great to be back on skis!

I’m in the parking lot at K-Mart right now. About to head up. TR to follow.

Post "Free GSS!!!" just for the fuck of it!

Sally, if you head back down into the fray, I’m wearing a blue jacket, dark blue pants, black helmet, and teal goggles. My wife is in a purple jacket and black pants. Say hello!!!

Good to see the white stuff flying around on the East Coast.

I’m in the peak lodge bar. The guns firing top to bottom and surprising Monday crowds were a bit much. I’d go back down if they happen to turn the guns off, though. Temps look to stay below 32, though, so not likely

Heats definitely on. Ordered an oil tank delivery. Yay. Just paid a $1362. oil bill fill up at TLCITW. Firewood is stacked high and most long range forecasts are Cold and Snowy... Bring It!!

Atomic taught me to always put the bar down. Safety first.

You’re the only one keeping track.

Connecting out of Cuba?

Got Plane tix. Skiing somewhere within a couple hours of Denver with the kids Dec 24, 25 and 26. Ho ho ho! For those keeping track $444 + 40k frontier miles.

I like Whiteface. The town is pretty cool too. That being said, you are going there to ski Whiteface, or Whiteface. I like options. This is east coast skiing with variable weather conditions. I will favor Vermont for options. I like Utah for this reason as well.

Salty, if you often ski on a budget and like to get to VT, you should look into the VT Ski 4 pass put out by Ski Vermont. It sells out very quickly each year, but 4 tickets (each ticket can only be used at one mountain) for $175 (iirc) is a steal. Usually comes out early to mid October. Whiteface is overrated in my opinion. Unless the conditions are stellar, it gets repetitive, it’s cold, and it’s out in the middle of nowhere. Stowe is awesome, but due to the Epic pass, powder days can be packed, and it’s definitely not a budget friendly place. Killington is packed on weekends, but relatively manageable on weekdays. If it’s a Thursday or Friday, Pico is a diamond in the rough. Lots of terrain, good snowmaking, and lots of fun woods. Sometimes you can find a deal too.

Coming down

Since folks pop in to tell me what I spent on seas on passes I figured it was a more widespread hobby

Credit card

Why, because they're too young to drink? 😉

Im going over a womens prison this week. Found out the place where cops drop off new inmates is called a "sallyport"

Ride I think this was supposed to be directed at me. I've heard that Whiteface can be cold and icy, hence the nickname of "iceface", but I've never heard that it gets repetitive. Interesting to hear. Ill probably put Whiteface/Lake Placid on the back burner for a family/couple trip. I guess ill have to choose between Killington and Stowe and at the moment would lean towards Killington. Is Stowe that much better than Killington? If so please say so! I'm probably putting too much thought into this in regards to Stowe... but after a quick glance at the trail map it seems that half of the mountain is served by only a double, triple and quad chairlift. I'm not too worried about cost if I'm only going to a single mountain, only if I take a longer "ski-fari". Thanks for the feedback.

had the first fire of the season going last night

Should work. We have a 550 gallon tank and ended last season with ~~80 gallons left in tank, and occupied the cabin about 90 days during the winter season.. 70 of them skiing.

I could have kept going, but I was taking major pressure from the wife and kids. Of all the battles I could pick to win, this was an easy L to take.

I'm out

LMAO sorry to disappoint, but Id donate to the site before trying to get GSS unbanned...

I’ll be in the red and black lumberjack with the hat to match.

They say a happy wife is a happy life. That’s why I sometimes buy my girlfriend finger puppets.

Heats definitely on. Ordered an oil tank delivery. Yay.
