More than that, as PC once said, "you're doing it wrong" Unless you want to ski the full vertical in one run...I did a 61,000 vert day at Jackson hole in 2007 including 16 gondola laps which is about 2700 vert...was a hard pack day. Most vertical I skied in a day since senior year in high school when I cracked 70K a few times at blue back when I'd put in 9-10 hour sessions. Edited December 8, 2016 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

RootDKJ Posted December 13, 2016 Report Posted December 13, 2016 The old Soljourn Double lift at MC was a pretty cold one too. That ride would take 25+ minutes through GG to VV. Quote

RootDKJ Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 It's miserable here today. I've gotten two runs in. Gapers overwhelmed by the 'pow day' Sold the second voucher in the lift line for $20. 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 How long is that lift line for the cabriolet? Any other lift options? Quote
RootDKJ Posted March 15, 2017 Report Posted March 15, 2017 The triple was running but that line was just as bad. I did two runs, had two beers. Saw the line die down and did 4 more runs. Both Granite and South Peak lifts were closed. MC says the 24-30" they got wasn't enough snow to re-open those lifts. Wtf. Strike 3 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Root I guess you won't be going back to MC. My dad learned to ski at Vernon Valley/Great Gorge. Quote
Featured Comment RootDKJ Posted March 16, 2017 Featured Comment Report Posted March 16, 2017 I won't be going back. The walk from the parking lot takes 6:30. Up this hill Down this path Welcome to Mountain Creek Just kidding, keep walking Up the ramp Over the highway Still walking to the lift 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Wow just wow looks nearly impossible to ski back to your car. And doesn't look like 24-30" At least you didn't look like a gaper with your license plate. Edited March 16, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
