Posted by GrilledSteezeSandwich,

Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Which part shouldn't I do - wear a helmet on a plane, rent skis & boots, or all of the above?

Rent boots. Lol. No. Why the fuck would you rent boots when you can (and always should) carry them on?  Dont be a cheap ass. Make your trip the best experience it can be. Forget trying to nickel and dime everything.

I think salty should go out west. He has the time and the means. Not to mention all the hot skier chick pussy that will be thrown at him when he shows up on the slopes with his RTMs....101 less than the length will be on tap for SaltyBalls

I only go on one ski trip per year and want to ski in the perder. This is great advice!!!

That sounds like something Ski2Live would do. I know Ski2Live shared a suitcase with his buddy on his 1.5 day ski trip to Colorado a few years ago.

And you can always go to Vermont later in the season.  There’s no rule that says you’re limited to one ski trip per year.  You might just have to postpone that trip to go Tour de France and visit the Switzerland of PA Jim Thorpe.

Go to Utah. Its going to snow on the 6th/7th, and 9th. Utah can be a better option if you dont want to drive/rent a car.

@saltyant this is great advice. If you want to be cheap, the place we stayed st has free breakfast and dinner, shuttle to airport, and Utah ski bus stop.

Barb has buddy passes for copper mountain if you end up going there. She can email them to you for you to print out. I think like $79 or $89 instead of whatever they charge maybe $130 a day. 

Expand  

The buddy passes are now only 20% off window rates and the pass holder has to be there to use them. No more printing them out, sadly.

You fly Frontier that carry on costs you like $160 round trip. Never find I have any problem getting good fitting rental boots and they are almost free if renting skis anyway. Saves $ and saves carrying crap. Sorry I like going on ski vacations not piss away money and carry stuff in airport vacations. Pack smart in a personal item sized backpack and afford more western ski trips that way.

Oh Salty this reminds me, another tip is to hang around trash cans in high traffic areas. When people throw away unfinished food you can grab it out and save on meals!

I’m laughing so hard..thanks for that.  I actually once had a man in Johnny rockets at the Chicago airport ask me if I wanted some of his fries because he wasn’t gonna eat them all when he noticed I only had a burger and no fries.  I declined but later regretted my decision.

When you go on a date and pay your part of the bill with your Frontier MasterCard I imagine it’s a real panty dropper.

Frontier really charges $80 each way for carryon?  How much did a three day ski rental cost at copper mountain?

Expand  

I think it was about $75 as I got a discount on it with the lodging booking. And I would have wanted to rent fatter skis anyway so just bringing my boots would not have saved me much. Some folks are real sensitive and need to have just the right boots, I understand. I'm not.

Please please please wear your helmet on the plane!


I wear mine on the plane all the time!
I’ve been looking for a picture another guy took of me on the plane with it on, but I must not have saved it.
