Zee lights are on perhaps for Zee snowmaking??

This week appears to be trending downward.

Saltman unless you get a deal don't buy at the mountain. Go to one of the ski shops. There's a place in cottonwood heights...just before the BCC entrance.

Correct. He doesn't like skiing multiple mountains on a trip which is why I suggested the alta bird deal. Saltman see below. They offer an Alta upgrade to your ticket. Although something to consider... I know you were thinking long and hard about the Chickadee pass. That's doesn't include the Alta upgrade.

E Exactly what I'm doing. Almost done actually.

When?

The forecast sucks but man is it fucking gorgeous out today.

No way I can do what you do in the bumps.

I have....many times and each time I'm baffled as to how you got them looking that way. Haha

Buy the alta bird pass Saltman. Enjoy.

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.

Germany is asking European resorts to close. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/germany-calls-ski-resorts-close-europe-n1249099

I hear you...but it's not a normal year.

Quality over quantity meaning if it's shit and I know it's shit I won't be in any rush to head out the door ..i say that now but when I see my ass falling out of the top 20 in the stats I'm sure I'll change my tune.

Quality over quantity this year for sure.

That I can agree with.

4 and a half from here...per google maps. I can do it in 4 with the Ridgeracer time machine though. What i meant was...I plan on doing day trips, primarily to Belle. I will get a hotel when I go further north to the Daks. In an absolute worst case scenario though to avoid quarantine... I'd leave here at 5. Ski Gore from 10 to 4. Be home by 9 or 10. It's doable.

You can definitely day trip to the skillz and probably to Gore also. I plan on doing it.

Day trips to huntah or Belle are less than 24 hours so you're good. Didn't you say you wanted to go to Huntah? If you do a trip for more than 24 hours just get tested when you get home. Problem solved and no quarantine needed (unless you test positive in which case its probably a good thing that you got tested).

That's fake news to you. Pennsylvania is a contiguous state with NY therefore we're golden. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-announces-new-guidelines-allowing-out-state-travelers-test-out-mandatory-14-day Governor Cuomo Announces New Guidelines... Travelers Must Get Tested Within Three Days Prior to Landing in New York, Quarantine for at Least Three Days Upon Arrival, and Get a Test on Day Four of Arrival If Travelers Receive a Negative Test On Day Four of Quarantine They May Exit Quarantine When They Receive Negative Result States that are Contiguous with New York Continue to Be Exempted from Quarantine Protocol — Essential Workers Also Continue to be Exempted

No it doesn't at all. Less people on the mountain, uncrowded slopes, solo lift rides, no quarantine for you in PA and NY if you want to go there, no ticket windows means direct to slope access, no lines or crowds in the lodge. Yeah that sounds terrible. It's Thanksgiving Saltman. Be thankful.

Imagine complaining about making a reservation to go skiing and powder day hassles when people have been through infinitely worse this year for the same reasons that you're mad about making a reservation to go skiing. Perspective my friend.

Best I could do today pic wise. Reminded me of spring

Trying to figure out when I can swing quick jaunt to upstate NY...3rd or 4th week in Dec likely.

Parking reservations? Speaking of which...I'm kinda looking forward to using my car as a ski lodge for non blue mountain sessions. The juice bags should stay cold on the car.
