5 year anniversary to this experience as well. The pics posted earlier are missing, but I found some that we posted on FaceSpace. Not sure if we’ll get a PA experience like that again for a while

Credit where credit is due. Took them a while but converting the Alpine slide into a ski trail is the right move. Looks fun.

Went out after lunch, puked powder all afternoon, and we skied untracked lines. 802 suckage fest continues.................

I hate that stupid boarder cross course, what a waste of a slope. I kinda like them leaving the whales on Sidewinder, as it breaks up a boring, flat trail. However, in the morning with flat light, it makes it difficult to see where the rollers end and then all of a sudden you're airborne!

"Trailer Park View"

Can't wait to be using it at this time in 2 weeks out there. I'll be sure to keep it in my pocket out of sight so the bros don't get too turnt up over it. Sucks for them that I'll be spending money in their town...

I emailed Jim D yesterday morning, requesting he call me. It's been well over 24 hours, so I've left him a voice mail, again requesting he call me.

No season pass discount on gift cards. Using it for next years season pass is a valid use for it. Still not worth it. 10 percent off giftcards are available in any quantity on Black Friday. And no risk, because you bought them yourself. The risk of a gift card purchase from an unknown buyer is worth more than a 10 percent discount.

60% chance of 1-3” for the Poke N Hoes...perder murder woooo

When you've got a pass at Montage you don't have to worry about getting your runs in before the hoards descend upon the place on the weekends so you don't mind putting in a 4 hour session with the slower lifts. Not to mention you can explore a lot more and I'm sure the guys who went to Elk know what I'm talking about here, there's something to be said to know you're the only one around and it's nice and quiet.

i agree with all of the above.

most crowded non holiday week day opening that i can remember. probably 2 dozen people waiting for opening and lines by like 9:00am. this pissed me off and i spent as much time as i could on main street lift. sorry to miss ya @mute1080 razors might have been the best conditions of any run ive ridden at blue this year. paradise, main street, and switchback were all very nice. night weaver still has that faux border cross course on it which i think is gargabe. not sure what they are doing with the small rollers and hills all over sidewinder

They don't have the specter of their mountain closing looming over their heads like we do in PA. We are kind of happy to see a few buses pulling in at 11 am on a Saturday because we know it'll put a few bucks in the pocket of Barb and pay all the bills to keep our little slice of heaven going. If I was a local at Jackson Hole and knew that the mountain wasn't going anywhere regardless of how many people were there then yeah I would probably get a little annoyed with the tourists too.

Salty stop stirring the pot. It's a '19-'20 season pass so technically, yes, they are throwing in rest of '18-'19 for free.

Just because something is cheaper, doesn’t make it a bargain.

Def. Cans can go more places then bottles, but it’s not as “green” as refilling glass. The term “Crowler” is actually trademarked by Oskar Blues so anytime you see that, they are getting a cut. Some breweries/distributors call it a can growler to get away from this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I think I was sweatier in hotel room. I really put my heart and soul into my dance moves..short Tasmanian devil like bursts. Especially with NMSki in the house it raises the stakes.

Good: Elk Country Inn..coffee and hot chocolate on demand multiple varieties and cheapest vending machines ever...75 cents for snacks and $1 for a can of pop. Bad: Not being at the 49er..maybe one day in the future if I can get my paper straight. Ugly: chubby waitress at Mexican restaurant probably hid in kitchen the whole time due to my Me Too advances on her when I was blackout drunk in 2012..no problem my 32 ounce margarita combined with jack and stokes and shot of Jameson thrown in and singing along to Alan Jackson way down yonder in the chattahoochie and googling how not to lose voice and then losing voice from all the screaming on pow day. To be continued.

It clouded up a bit around 1. Also got warmer. Yesterday was bipolar weather, beautiful blue sky, then clouds, then got pelted for awhile with some kind of sleety snow. After it stopped, you could see lots of snow squalls in the distance. Very cool. Tried to practice some of the moguls today, I pretty much sucked 😑. They did blow fresh snow in them. Nice that they are doing that a lot this year.

Looks like they could get some snow overnight Sunday making Monday nice

Got day off approval today. Will be there on the 4th

Assume is is following that snakey path - looks like it could be one of the cooler trails in NEPA.

CB has another new trail opening next week, a TTB tight twisty double black under the lift next to Rocket where the Alpine Slide used to be. Baselisk Surprising with a new trail is a nice contrast to announcing one is coming soon 5 years in advance

true about the flat light, im only used to riding it in the first few hours of the morning.

The locals don't get it that Ikon passholders come in and spend money locally, which is good for the local economy and helps the mountain stay profitable. The locals only see Ikon passholders as Jerrys coming in to compete with them for fresh powder and crowd the slopes.

Doubt

Hammertime

I’m looking at Colorado flights right now for mid April. Looking like direct in Southwest is about $300. Do I book or wait for something better. Should I wear my ski boots onto the plane??

My poles got bent in Jackson hole..anyway the stowe bus trip can stay at the Commodores..you can room with Matt edge...me and Nastar Glenn can chaperone.

Sorry to hear what happened Root. Hope you get better soon!

New season pass prices are out. And up. $299 for an adult Value Pass this year. I applaud the authenticity of the picture, but couldn't they have picked a better background? Need to learn from Blue here.

During Jeopardy training we made the losing team in each game choose a Bertie Botf’s bean. Nice tie in with them going to Universal Orlando. Had to have some potential negative consequences to keep them honest. Need to have some skin in the game.

We celebrated that in creative cooking class..always reminds me of premature ejaculation a fast nut

That’s badass. I took a dum dum from the bank earlier. I wasn’t brave enough for the mystery flavor. Had lemon lime because it reminds me of Margaritaville and Gatorade

That's just the bottom part of Lazy Mile. The cant name it anything else, because then Lazy Mile won't be a mile. Pops and I just call it "The Full Mile."

Only $70 for a weekend ticket. So cheap! If you bring a Pinata I'll fill it with Fruit by the Foots and Captain Wafers. Are you available February 32nd?

Early is the key...I’m going to try to make it to the season passholder party. I’ve still get to attend one of them. Maybe we can get Ski2Live and his band to play the season passholder party. He might drop the price tag for some cocoa and a tray of those delicious puff pastry wrapped mini wieners.

But then you would have to ski Camelback

If any good comes out of all of this, that section of Razors runout will forever be known as “Roots Rollers” ☠️

@diehard skier I say this with all sincerity; all the energy and time you are going to put into fighting on the internet.....do something constructive instead. Go ski, take pictures, post them here. We want new members here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And in about 3 hours of drive from that snow goodness - Venice.

I finally have a decent WiFi... So a few more pics from the last skiing day. First one is the frozen lake near which the road was closed.

Just one pic today
