This bankruptcy has more to do with Fortress than it does the ski areas. Fortress the investment group is done, Interwest will probably continue to exist to some degree though it will be way smaller and probably only hold on to some of the more profitable mountains. Whistler is the crown jewel and still makes butt tons of money so somebody's picking them up pretty quick, my guess is the dude that sold it to interwest years ago. As for Mtn. Creek don't even worry about it. They make money so somebody is going to end up purchasing them. This may have a real negative impact on places like Revelstoke where money is tight and the market for rich dudes who want to own giant ski areas is pretty much nonexistent.

Is that Smithy's near trolley station ^ Brew selection is way better than when it was Freddy Meyer

Wait free waffles ? This is a travesty of unparalleled proportions, I've had a season pass to bear since the switch over and I get no email, text message, passenger pigeon about the free waffles.....

Long skis truck, short skis suck

That is a very impressive pipe for PA. Golf clap for 7springs.

Wow....propane is listed on avg. at 2.66 retail. At 100,000 gallons I have to believe they hook you up with a discount but still that's alot of chicken tenders and lift tickets.

Looks like you timed it perfectly, once the wind dies down and the slab dissipates the snow pack is going to be pretty fucking bomber too. I look forward to seeing pics and video.

Phillycore, sounds like your in for a trip of a lifetime. Schralp it

Blah blah blah stop bitching about retarded shit and go skiing Some people can ride the moving couch with no problems and some can't, it has been that way from the beginning of chair lifts and will continue to be so.

you should work for gopro because you just sold me one

damn screaming deal.....must resist urge...perfect for EC touring with dynafiddles.......

The funny thing is they are just rebagged equipment so your paying serious dolos for regular gear. Everyone knows you aren't cool unless your rocking 50,000 euro Lacroix's http://www.luxist.com/2008/12/06/courchevel-lacroix-ski-set/ The skis in this thread are everything that is wrong with snowsports.

Nothing is really wrong, I mean what you don't want is people not being able to have their situation righted when something truly terrible has happened so there are almost no real barriers to filing suit. Additionally in 99% of tort cases bullshit like the above gets thrown out or at the very least the money awarded is very low as the court essentially splits the liability. Idiot above is 90% liable so he only gets 10% of 100,000, 10,000 might sound like alot but that's maybe a days worth of work at decent size litigation firm. The problem with this is that litigation in general is very expensive and even if you get the case thrown out quickly say on summary judgment you end up spending lots of loot. Often then what happens is companies do not see an advantage in litigation and simply settle when the matter arises. So even though they may have not been at fault they pay the dude 150,000 because that's cheaper than the 200,000 it costs them to litigate this issue. Retards see the fat handouts and all jump on board. Not only is the company out some cash but the insurance people tend to freak out.

He's a boring fucking troll ignore him. If he was actually funny that would be a different story...

5 maybe 6 inches of cream cheese headed your way....

I'll be up at MRG this weekend, blue jacket brown pants black helmet. Say hi if you decide to come up.

Its all about $$$$ and Sno doesn't have any.

those spruce pictures make me want to throw up....fucking condos. Looks like you had a good trip.

love the night shots...A+

That lift pic is sick

alias=failed

49.5mph is pretty damn hot for any chair, lots of safeties going off and stopping the lift anyways. 30 is generally where things start to get shitty, any higher and your worried the haul line is going to throw a sheave and then the whole thing is fucked. Its sucks they closed but you can't fault CB for this one.

How's your repair work ? Not to be a dick but I ask because years ago your Reading shop couldn't jig mount a pair of ski's properly. If you can't drill holes and line up a jig I'm not sure why I would trust you with ptex work, though this was some time ago. The dude at Pinnacle in Reading knew his shit and did excellent work but now he's gone and I need someone I trust who knows their shit.
