Skied Hunter today with @GSSucks. Since I’m #Epic this year, figured I might as well use the pass on the East Coast as well. 5:25am departure and smooth sailing and arrived at Hunter 2h40m later. Got my Epic Pass pretty quickly and we were on the snow a few minutes after they opened. This is my second longest opening day run (the first being T2B Mount Snow with @GrilledSteezeSandwich) ... 1600ish vert (?) in variable conditions is enough of a leg burner on the first day. Pretty thin cover meant grooming was tough as they had almost nothing to work with. It was firm up top and spring like down at the bottom. Weather ranged from bluebird, to overcast, to snowing, to pissing rain. We skied for 2 hours and when a 30 minute rain storm rolled in we retreated to the lot for some beers.

I decided I'm probably going to Salt Lake City the first week of March. I like that the hotels in SLC are pretty cheap and not that far from the mountains. I'll rent an SUV which is a little pricey but since the hotels aren't too expensive it wont be a big deal. I'll research the places discussed on here and probably stick to 1 mountain, maybe 2. Currently looking at Solitude. TFTI

Anything before Martin Luther king day is a bonus.

Like a few years ago when blue opened for two days in early December and didn’t reopen until early January. I’d rather ski those sort of conditions than blues normal cookie opening. WTGAI Atomic Jeff.

English, please.

I am glad you got to ski but that just looks really depressing.

182, they come in 172 182 and 192

Nah, not picturesque but damn near the opposite of depressing. They be sliding at mock silly for day-one. That’s a day worth having Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@AtomicSkier would know

Wow almost a free trip. I have probably 150,000 united miles to start using.

Do it! ... I leave for SLC on Thursday night and returning the following Friday.. Will be spending my time at Brighton. I will look to head back out the beginning at April for a second week to get my money worth for the weekday season pass. Luckily this trip(hotel/car) is paid for by points from work travel

Buy the alta bird pass Saltman. Enjoy.

that was an exceptional purchase for having no idea what you bought.

Solid upgrade! 👌

Pretty solid do everything ski ya got there! Proper bindings, too.

Nice. I’m keeping an eye out for a can’t pass up price on some Rossi Soul 7s. Demo’d them in Steamboat last year and think they’ll replace the 88s as my daily driver. Not really a need though, so I’m just casually watching

here i demoed them when blue had that random day last season. look binding i dunno what kind. they go up to 12 and they're black.

Boots, jacket, gloves, nespresso machine...I'm done. I'll look at replacing the sick days (probably with a newer pair of sick days) next season.

Cool thread. Enjoyed checking out the vids. Wondering what will be next between the impact of Covid, recession, and warming.

ya...5 years ago.

Reservations for Keystone 12/4.

Now all I need is some snow.

Oh, are you at your Moore Township house right now?
