I mostly ski alone. I might ski a run or share a lift with others I know, but, like me, they don't like "pack skiing."

People party on the mountain in costume and get drunk. I exit when they start dong stupid stuff.

My locker room buddies are all busy emptying their lockers. Most are, like me, old as dirt, because there's an 8 year waiting list and you're going to be pretty old before you think you want to pay that kind of money, then you have to wait for one of us to die.

One couple I ski with is back in Florida, emptying their house so they can move here in May. But I expect we'll see them all year round once they move. I guess other than them, everyone else is an actual LOCAL. Like, I'll see them at the grocery store. It's not a metro area. People don't vanish.

How much does whitefish charge for a locker?  I enjoy a combination of skiing alone and with others..I give you major props at your commitment to skiing and sharing it with others.

$590. It used to be around $100. It's nuts. I'm sure it'll be $625 next season.

Blue kept jacking up the price of a locker each year too.
Once it broke $200, I punted.  It just wasn't worth the price of admission anymore.
Walking to the car to swap out skis, etc. gives me the opportunity to have a beer break too.
Of course, the walk to the car isn't very far, so YMMV.

I did too, but I'm back in next season, lol. Just too convenient to leave the gear at the hill, especially with the kids. And being able to stash an extra pair of goggles, gloves, etc came in handy more than once

Yeah, I could see that, especially if you have a shit-ton of equipment that you have to lug back/forth from home.

Now I just need to convince them to let me drill a hole in my locker to pass a cable from a battery  bank to a solar panel so I can also leave the boot warmer and glove dryer in there, lol

Yeah, I bring the boots home every time. Two or three times their fire sprinklers went off and there was water coming down from the ceiling. I don't care if my skis get wet, but the boots are another thing. 

 

Finished 83rd on the vert list.

Congratulations!

And then some. Not quite 1.2. 

Below is resort stats. It's missing a ton of scans for lifts with lazy lifties, but they over-credit for chair 2, so the actual numbers are very slightly higher. Like 7000 feet.
