This winter was complete bullshit. I'm so glad it's finally over. When I can't ski some day I'm fleeing to Florida. Here are some random pictures to demonstrate the misery I endured.
-
Vail's rad, I just renewed my Epic pass which provides access to more than 80 mountains across the world for under $800. That's cheaper than the stupid pass to ski just 2 mountains in the Poke n O's for $900
-
@GrilledSteezeSandwich I'm back home from a radical trip to Vail. Time for a good, bad, ugly summary: The Good: skied perder The Bad: United's Kiosks SUCK The Ugly: The dryer at the condo SUCKS
-
This is grate! I was wondering if you were down there taking a photo of me when I was flying over. I was on the right side of the aircraft in the last row.

I'll have to watch this later when I SUJOPO. Ski trips are fun but it's an awful lot of work. I book everything and pay for mad credit card points, but the downside is I have to account for what everyone owes me. There's the condo cost, Instacart, personal groceries, gas mileage and tolls to and from the airport, airport parking, hotel rooms, tips for shuttle drivers, tips for the pizza delivery guy, and sometimes I even book a flight for my brah. It takes an extensive spreadsheet and lots of accounting to figure out everyones bill at the end of the trip.

Can't wait to fly over @Benm house again. Maybe I'll ask the pilot of United 1305 to circle around a point
-
Correct. He went to Copper. Vail doesn't funk around. You'd think it would be a warning the first time. There's a sign that says "28 days suspension and legal action". I wonder what legal action is ever taken?
-
Hell naw
-
Some radical pics from today.
-
Unfortunately my brah got a 28 day Epic Pass suspension on Tuesday for going out of bounds. As we all know, Vail just doesn't have enough terrain in bounds.
-
Escargood was grate and it's my last day so maybe I'll buy a $500 dinner like @AtomicSkier. Some premium Mer Lot would be radical. I skied groomers, trees, glades, bowls, back bowls, courdoroy, snow, perder, slopes, hills, mountains, steeps, catwalks, adventure parks, moguls, deep perder, soft snow, hard snow, ice, grippy snow, and between bushes.
-
Ordered some fine wine and escargot at Lancelot. That shit was dope. Only $44, what a bargain. @Ski2Live Live2Ski would suggest a fool and money soon departed. Too bad I didn't have a coupon to save $3.50
-
Damn Daniel, that sounds mint. I wish I was at Blue today instead of Vail. All this deep powder and long trails are wearing out my legs.
-
Taking a rest day at Vail Resorts. Does anyone know where the mint is here?? @Mixilplix
-
Yeah that's just not right. When I'm at a ski resort the wait should be less than a minute. I'm probably quitting early Friday, I'm not doing those stupid long lines. Today was grate tho. There were no lines. I even rode the gondola solo and also once with some hot babes. Also skied nearly open to close which is a rarity for me. I was in the zone today. Yesterday we got some perder. I think like 8 inches. I skied the famous Back Bowls(tm) which was sickbird. We found some gnarly glades which was rad.
-
You should come to Vail and you can help me with my checked bags on the way home and we can each get a hot toddy. Then we can post more food pics and travel stories on this thread.
-
On Monday I got super triggered. This one chairlift ended up being like a 15 minute wait. Every few minutes some gapers would screw up and stop the lift. I got big mad. It was worse than Camelback. That was total BS. Today was grate, 2 or 3 minutes waits at teh liftz
-
Pretzel bites with a Hot Toddy. Only $28.96 and even got a few dollars off with my Epic Pass. @Ski2Live Live2Ski would be so proud of my thrifty spending at Vail. If only I shoved a mushy salami sandwich in my pocket I could have saved three fitty. And I didn't even get carded which was rad, while the next person in line did. That was sick not having to fish for my photo ID in my ski pants.
-
Nah
-
I think Vail's big enough that I'm fine staying here. I don't feel like learning another mountain. The first day here was confusing as fudge trying to figure out where to go. Now I'm getting the feel for the layout
-
Oooh Lo Que Dijo!!!
-
Thanks, I'm writing a procedure for next season and putting it in my ski boot bag so I don't have to deal with this shit again. When I leave Saturday my brahs with boot bags can go first and I'll do what they do
-
I ate a burrito on Sunday when we arrived. It was grate, it reminded me of my local cultural food in Northeast PA and lessened my homesickness. I just eat a big breakfast and skip lunch usually. Maybe I'll put a cereal bar in my pocket. My brahs put sandwiches in their pockets but I think that sounds terrible. I don't want to eat a mushy sloppy mess. If I bring a sandwich to work I pack the loaf of bread, mustard, and meat separately and then make the sandwich when it's time to eat so it's fresh. It would be a challenge to ski with a load of bread.
-
I ate some grate Mexican food in Vail. It reminded me of home. I haven't talked to any babies during this ski trip.

Some grate pictures with my brahs
