I don't know if Zonked is ever gonna go skiing. I'm saving my buddy pass for her but if she doesn't claim it soon I'll give it to Salty or Phillycore.

From 8-10am it's normal...see post I made to Schif

Typically yes but the warmth and rain this week will scare some of the people away.

You obviously do if you're reading this post...

The main thing is that it's gonna happen overnight when it's coldest and be all snow..bad thing is that if it mostly falls before 1am it will likely be brutally groomed..still will be interesting to see.

Nope no conventions this year. I'm training a new dealer pretty soon near you, I believe in Somerville. Super rich area.

Salty check out my runs and vert from 2005-06 and 2006-07. If you arent gonna update your stats I'll just have them removed...play by the rules Salty!!!

620am is the first one..that's the bus our pal Dennis takes but he has a season locker so spends time reading the paper, doing yoga, waxing skis, having coffee etc before he gets in line around 820am on non pow days.

Yeah I do. Sallycat was slacking on the updates but now she's all caught up..the best is when Toast added his last day at whistler before he even started skiing for the day..that's a bit of a faux pas. Normal people wait until after they're done skiing to update stats not before they even hit the hill. The worst was years ago somebody was going on a four day ski ski trip and added in the four ski days before they even left for their trip..that's the shit I don't like.

Tram 645-7...gondola 730-8am. The gondola opened at 915am today and the Tram at 935am..that's pretty fast avalanche mitigation work by the JH ski patrol. On the 22" day me and atomic jeff had two seasons ago we took the 655am bus and were on the second Tram when it opened after 10am but had the best run of our lives 4100 vert of top to bottom powder right to the base..

Salty when are you gonna update your stats??

I'm a little leary of this being that we are 60 hours out.

Goggle tan weather.

13" new and the gondola line 10 minutes before opening.

90% of our business is through funeral homes and the other 10% is walk ins..calls can be funeral homes asking questions, existing customers calling to make changes to proofs, checking status and people calling to set up appointments. As the weather gets nicer walk in business increases. If somebody showed up now I'd sit with them in the office and if another family showed up while I'm with first family I'd have them come back in an hour or set up an appointment since our office is small and we can only meet with one family at once. I sell a lot of tombstones via the phone, mail and email to out of state people as well. They typically pay with credit card over the phone and when the job is completed I send them a picture. Those are my favorites. We dont currently advertise. In the past we've advertised in the morning call, funeral directors magazine, church and synagogue directories. Most of our marketing budget goes to a quarterly mailer to about 1,000 funeral homes. If we get one new dealer who sells one average priced memorial stone it pays for the mailer. Plus it keeps our name out there. Most monument companies solicit families from the obituaries..we don't.

I should have gone. I've been at work for an hour and a half and the phone hasn't even rung yet...

Looks like snow 7pm Saturday until 1am Sunday and then 40 and sunny Sunday. Also they keep moving the rain up in tonight's forecast...I'm skiing in the rain I don't care..I don't wanna miss out on spring conditions..

When blues early bird pass went on sale last season people were standing by at midnight credit card in hand. I remember Ryan waited a few weeks and had to pay an extra $150 I believe.

They got an extra $30k in revenue. Wow just wow..I bet some of the new passholders won't even get their money's worth.

That pass would sellout at Blue in 15 minutes.

Any video with Pauly Shore in it is Nguyening

I want to..it's not you it's me..I just have too much happening tomorrow at work and no office manager to delegate to. I'll ski with you Sunday..I feel bad that the PASRs don't wait for you to strap in..it's discrimination.

Two days until the weekend...are you stoked!!!

The timing might make for them to have a chance to groom before the snow. It's a possibility.
