  1. Not gonna happen again, I guess. I saw a leaflet in the lodge, next first Thursday tickets are gonna be $19, and the one after $33. Not terribly enticing. I don't even know who would pay $33 for a 4-hour ticket in spring, especially at night.
  2. I got stuck yesterday at the Valley lodge when they closed the express at 9:45. Luckily there was a shuttle. I actually wonder what happened to salty. He was doing the last Lazy run with me and was supposed to come all the way down, but I think he changed his mind in the middle, went to the Main lift and avoided the shuttle altogether.
  3. Well, that just shows that you tend to avoid skiing on the weekends. The crowds were not really huge. They were just big. On a typical busy weekend (and no, I'm not talking about morning skiing) they spill way beyond the RFID gates. So e.g. on the quad I have to make a big circle around slowly moving people in order to get to the farthest gate. Now that's when it gets bad! On the positive side, in cases like that they start organizing the line into singles, doubles, triples, etc, so if you're skiing alone you don't have to wait too long.
  4. Well, if you're sure that you have communicated to them that you want them to find and fix the problem, and you'll also pay for it, they really did bad. And I don't care if there was someone already waiting for a ski mount. Because 99% there wasn't.
  5. Nice party in the summit lodge. Live music, dancing. Stopped for a bite, really dig the atmosphere tonight.
  6. Yeah, I'm looping the quad right now. I'll look for your Mantras, and you can hopefully spot a set of red shorties. I'll stop posting here for the night. This thread is about how awesome MC was yesterday, not how I'm suddenly skiing in spring today.
  7. Well, I hope ya all come in hungry. There is plenty of mashed potato to be had, and the gravy is here as well
  8. Looooots of people everywhere. Live music in the upper lodge. Can Valley lodge beat it?
  9. Ewwwww, the boarders now pale in comparison
  10. You're coming to BM tonight? I'll text you if my battery doesn't die.
  11. Well when you marry you also give an oath, and then some still cheat once in a while.. Do you have a happy Bue marriage here? Or just blue?
  12. Same
  13. Yeah, that's what I saw. I guess it was named after a pipeline because a guy who rode a lift with me said that it was closed for a few seasons already and mentioned pipeline as the reason. He also gave a good advice regarding parking. If you have a season pass or a preloaded ticket, instead of heading to Vernon or South peak official parking areas, go to the condos below the quad of the Granite peak. Park there (allegedly they won't care) and then hike right to the lift, where incidentally they don't have any RFID scanners. Hmmm. I wonder if that would allow someone to abuse an entire peak. Interesting thoughts...
  14. RootDKJ, if you want to join me next Thursday, I swear, I'll keep it down. GSS and the rest of the true company will never know. But what's that about the cabriolet and riding underneath it?
  15. Jeez, I'm amazed there is just no love for a NJ mountain even among New Jersians. I'm gonna be there next Thursday night. And it's gonna snow on Wednesday. I'll live you all envy me evading biting lifts, listening to rap with girls, high-fiving drunk boarders and looking for that single trail that gave Ski2Live so many happy memories.
  16. Well, by that time they've closed the racer's lift already. The slopes were empty, I knew it was gonna be my last run, so I wanted to make it epic. And epic it was.
  17. No, I'm not. Nor am I a jumper, however yesterday when I got on that South peak with terrain parks all over the place and speeded down as usual, just trying to avoid major features, I managed to somehow end up on a wide jump and got so much of unexpected air, that I thought it would be the end of me for this season.
  18. Damn, it's gonna rain tonight too... Oh fine, it will be a test drive for the new jacket. We'll see how all those millimeters of waterproofness hold in real life.
  19. Crap. I'll have to go and work on the weekend then. While it's raining. Maybe I should just keep the skis in my car all the time for surprises like this.
  20. Frankly, every time when that Princeton ski club posts a trip, it ends up costing more than if I just went there by myself or with friends. Plus I'm antisocial. So no, there is just a group of 3.
  21. Hey, whaaat? I thought it was only first Thursday of the month? Boy, did I screw up today or what?
  22. Ah, don't worry too much. It's same old stuff. It puzzles me a little that GSS would do it to his own thread though. But there is a chance to see a new cool video, so I'm hanging around and hitting F5 from time to time.
  23. BS. I asked a neutral question.
  24. [gasp] I thought it would be utterly disrespectful to even think about lame RTMs or devilish 170 while reading this thread??
  25. Great. Still it was kind of a snotty remark.
