@RidgeRacer been seeing all kinds of things on social media about that concert and how amazing it was. Cool you were there for it! I think today is absolute peak leaf color. It’s raining and foggy but just a few from the car on my way home and the last few days. 46 degrees and raining with a chance for a dusting of snow between today and tomorrow. Fire going, beef stew cooking on the stove

I try not to think about the new season until Buckmans opens every October 1st, or this year the 2nd. Happy 23/24 season everyone!

New board has been ordered!

As someone who's had Ikons x4 (including the screaming deal on 2 kids passes) for a few years now, and had blue passes last year but opted not to renew, this is fantastic for us. We live in Philly and do a bunch of SLC and other Western trips each year , along with a bunch of weekend in VT so the Ikon always was a no brainer for us, but the lack of day trip skiing did suck. Got the blue passes for last year but my older kid needed a full pass , and with the generally poor conditions and many weekend taken up with travel skiing, only used them enough to break even on the cost. So we decided to not re-up and just deal with day tickets, despite blues sometimes outrageous pricing on weekend tickets with no discounts for kids. Looking like that gamble payed off. From a corporate $$$ perspective, KSL owns both blue and camelback and is also an owner of Alterra who runs Ikon, so while Blue isn't an Alterra corp mountain ,it's still related and always seemed inevitable that they would be added to Ikon at some point. My WAG is that Blue pass sales dropped a lot from the COVID boom after last year's no snow (I was called multiple times even months after the deadline asking if I still wanted to renew at the early bird price), so that the risk of the Ikon poaching full pass sales became reasonable to the mountain. My guess is also for those of you who do more blue days and still need a full blue pass, they will eventually (prob next year but maybe sooner) add the Ikon add on option to the full blue pass, like how Killington, Snowbird , Jackson and the other affiliated but not Alterra owned mountains offer .

Maybe the greatest show I've ever seen. U2 last night to open the sphere

Got to see biffs pleasure palace (among other things haha) on Fremont Street and the pawn stars joint too. What a trip

The explorer is everything. His signature. I want one.

96 I think. I remember cause it's reverse 69 lol

Why the hell did I spend 1200$ on a chair then

I’ve really treated myself this year. New skis, bindings, goggles. Snagged a pair of Goretex ski pants on Backcountry for $178! I’m thinking maybe new boots, as well.

Would've been closer but my brothers took their sweet ass time

Yeah, alcohol, weed and firearms sounds like a great combination.

Between Blue, Camelback and Windham that would be 21 days of skiing I could do without paying for hotels. Would also quite likely hit places like Stratton, Sugarbush, Killington, Loon and a trip or two to Rockies - and it would be nice to revisit all of these places I have not skied since in at least the 5 years I will have had Epic or Indy passes.

The bedazzling spectacle is the Dskis. Some other peice said this was pretty much "the most underwhelming announcement for the Ikon". LOL.
