Good old Chuck is always good for a controversial quote.

Every time I pull out of the parking lot it feels like I’m leaving Las Vegas.

I’ll be there on Sunday to soak up the sun.

I remembered snowy peaks but I had to look up Maris.

This is exactly what would have happened if Maris corp would have been able to take over Snowy Peaks in the 1990 classic movie Ski Patrol. Luckily the Snowy Peaks ski patrol was able to thwart the evil conglomerate's takeover attempt.

I'm taking my family up to Elk in a couple of weeks to change things up. Online ticketing is still not available, though, so I hope they get it up and running soon so I can skip the wagon.

I didn't realize until this morning that you can't get your 10% season pass discount if you buy lift tickets for someone else in advance online. This seems like something they should fix.

HUNDSLAPPADRÍFA is an Icelandic word for especially heavy snowfall. It literally means ‘snowflakes as large as dogs’ paws’. I enjoyed the hundslappadrifa today.

See everyone on Sunday!

What about trying a code reader? I've heard that can be helpful.

I’ll be there Sunday!

Sounds like a wild morning! I usually wait to do lines until noon.

It also bugs the crap out of me that people who used lockdown as an excuse to day drink and get fat pretend like they care about their health. It's really the whole picture that we should focus on: masks + distance + healthy body/immune system + vaccine. If the government can mandate that businesses close, they should fucking mandate that everyone eat their vegetables and get enough sleep.

Same deal with my wife but a week different. She got the questionnaire last week and didn't qualify, but a bunch of other people who shouldn't have qualified fudged answers and got the vaccine last week. My wife was pissed, but all is well since she will get it only a week later.

My wife found out today that she will get the vaccine on Monday. I'm looking forward to seeing first hand what the side affects are (if any).

Thanks! Didn’t see that when I was checking it out. Planning family skiing sucks this year. Should have just gotten 4 blue passes and called it a day.

Not until mid January, but was going to buy the tickets for the weekend we had planned in advance.

Anyone know if there’s a way to buy lift tickets in advance for Elk? I don’t want to get all the way up there with the family and have them run out due to limited quantities.

It hurt me too, from laughing so hard!

Saturday for this guy.

My wife's hospital got 750 doses of the vaccine, but she was not in the first tier because she isn't obese or diabetic. They'll get more next week and perhaps she will get it then.

I got some new pantaloons for the first time in 10 years. Will be nice having waterproof pants for a change!

My interest is piqued. Hope all goes well!
