main street chair is your friend

my understanding (albeit limited; i'm just a lowly computer nerd, not an expert in fiscal policy) was that it's faster, easier, and therefore actually cheaper to just make a blanket policy that gives everyone the stimulus check than it is to go through the process of putting together a program and a team, figuring out who falls into what bracket, etc. only to inevitably have some people slip through the cracks on both sides anyway.

sunday monday. maybe i'll actually get to ski razors on monday?!

this would be glorious with some famous PASR faces photoshopped onto it

burger for lunch, then up the tin can gondola to the top of the olympic downhill for first run of the afternoon! but seriously, go up that sketchy little gondola, the views from up there are amazing, and it's a nice steep, wide, smooth groomer from the top all the way down to the base.

Was gonna take off work for that Friday event but it looks like there’s absolutely nothing now. Tuesday, maybe... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What time was that? I think I might have seen that from the lift. Saw someone get the first section then pretty much gut themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aside from the cookie minefield of opening weekend, yesterday was probably worst conditions I’ve skied this season. The shape/spacing of the bumps wasn’t bad, but they were definitely firm and I didn’t feel like swapping to narrower skis. Widow maker stayed good all morning until about 11, then somehow it just crumbled into a cookie heap. Conditions aside, what’s up with the shit show in the quad and six pack lift lines? Nobody corralling, counting, directing, yelling at dick nosers for being inconsiderate idiots. Seems kinda ridiculous that on a holiday weekend morning, there would be no employee presence at the lift lines at all aside from the people bumping chairs. We mostly skied off the Main Street chair to avoid the chaos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

last time i played this game, someone ended up with a broken clavicle, though he did not spill his beer in the process

you can park like 3 feet from the millicent chair at brighton. you can also park like 3 feet from the cabriolet at canyons/park city west. powder mtn parking is like jf and blue, where you park at the top and ski down to the lift. basin parking is a bit more of a trek, same with DV, but DV has sweet shuttle train things that definitely give you weird if you're not wearing the finest skiwear that kjus or bogner has to offer. park city proper depending on where you stay, there's a town lift that you can walk to from your hotel/condo.

Correct. There's a park & ride at the bottom of the canyons. I've also taken SLC public transit from wherever @GSSucks dropped me off when he had to work and couldn't ski with us that day. Ended up taking about an hour total to get to brighton from his house, including the bus ride, when driving would have taken maybe 40-45 minutes? It really didn't take much longer at all, as the stops are very minimal. Not having to deal with parking at the resort is pretty nice, too. Totally get your concerns about taking the bus during Covid times though.

take the bus

i'm guessing they'd just get taken out by plows, cars, or slides every year? not totally sure. we did see a sears furniture delivery truck flirting with death on the edge of the shoulder around a weirdly banked turn. why you're trying to drive that thing up the mountain with that much snow on the ground is a different story entirely though.

I think they were laughing at the sonic, not the request for tire chains. Clearance is probably gonna be your biggest obstacle with that thing. Minivan had probably 7-8" of clearance, so we weren't really plowing snow with it.

Yup, winding groomer off of hidden lake quad that you can easily dip into the trees for as little or as much as you like is fun. There's obviously plenty more than that, but that's about the easiest access to mellow tree skiing with an easy bailout that I can remember skiing anywhere. Also re: cars. In the past, I've always stopped at wally world or it's canadian equivalent when traveling and bought a set up tire chains or cables to keep in the car just in case. Had to use them a few times, and if you have to use them, then it's money well spent. If you don't need them, return them on the last day of your trip, no money wasted. A set of cables helped us make it up LCC on a 10" day one year, which might have been the scariest drive of my life. If i remember correctly, @toast21602 wore his helmet in the car while I was driving.

Is being stuck at the bottom of hidden lake the same as being lost? It is very easy to just keep ending up at the hidden lake quad if you don’t know your way around there. Looks like they’ve added a few lifts since I was there last. Looks way too easy to get the goods now. Get off my lawn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

oh man, place at okemo? my parents legitimately would have been interested hah.

The cardboard form in the toe box of the liners helps keep your toes warm, too. Make sure you leave that.

I recommend getting a hot'n'ready from lil caesar's on university boulevard. Pretty much the finest pizza you can have while on a ski trip. Pairs well with a game of 7 11 doubles, some captain morgan and sleeping on the floor the night before a pow day.

Interesting that the registration process is being handled by a private entity. I have zero practical experience with LVHN, it just seems odd to me that they're not handling registration at the state level. I registered a week or so ago, and it was through the state's dept of health website.

Also got a few laps on them yesterday. Leave @AtomicSkier's pair completely unchanged from these, he looked like he actually enjoyed being on a "playful" ski! As he said though, amazing to hop on these knowing what went in to them and them skiing really well. I'd be curious to get them into some moguls; I think they'd be pretty fun in some soft bumps given how maneuverable they felt.
