GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 Season Pass purchased today. I'm predicting 400" at Smuggs this season. Besler20170315001 (33).jpg Nice how much was the pass?? Have they ever received 400" in a season. Quote
guitar73 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 Why the lol? I might have to go to Barnes and nobles and read the ski magazines. i love reading these mags for stoke. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 549 + tax = 580 Wow there isn't tax on season passes here. That's cheap. i love reading these mags for stoke. I used to save all my ski skiing snow country and powder magazines for years. I don't think I've read a ski magazine in about 5 years. Ever since borders closed down Quote
theprogram4 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 Just ordered my new replacement boots since my old pair had the sole falling off the boot. DC customer servivce was great and sent me a gift card for the cost of the boots. ended up working out good for me cause i get a brand new pair of 2018 boots for only $25 (price difference between last years model and this year) Quote
RootDKJ Posted August 22, 2017 Report Posted August 22, 2017 I almost forgot, but TP4 reminded me with his RMA/Giftcard from DC. I RMA'd a Mountain Hardwear Fleece that had a busted zipper. Paid $60 for it and after I lost weight, it was waaaay to big on me. I got a $150 gift card which I used for a new (warmer) jacket off their clearance website. So if it's a warm winter, it's probably my fault. Quote
skifreak Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 If she is making 60k a year and has to live paycheck to paycheck then she is doing something wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ah, there's the PASR $60,000 benchmark salary again! 3 Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 Just got back from my annual two week backpacking trek on the AT. Camped a little in Stowe after that and did some day hikes. Yes, the leaves are starting to change. I'll be doing refresher for patrol before I know it. 6 weddings down this year and 3 to go. I'll have had 21 in 3 years after this season is over. Building a new shopping center in DE this year, so snowboarding trips could be limited. I would definitely like to make it back to Quebec and hit some areas in Maine as well. 4 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) When I was 26 in 2001 I made 60k and lived like a king.That's probably $100k in today's dollars. Last night at the bar this guy was bragging about how he makes $57k a year driving a truck..said he puts away $100 every paycheck into his savings account. I don't know why people tell people at the bar how much they make. My friend just married a doctor and she's some sort of specialist and works for the hospital. Her raise this year when she got promoted was a $60,000 increase which is like 20%..now that's a lot of money and they still shop at Costco. Edited August 23, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 23, 2017 Report Posted August 23, 2017 Ah, there's the PASR $60,000 benchmark salary again! I think shadows started that one. If you are a millenial(under age 35) and make $60,000 per year you're in the top 10%. Just got back from my annual two week backpacking trek on the AT. Camped a little in Stowe after that and did some day hikes. Yes, the leaves are starting to change. I'll be doing refresher for patrol before I know it. 6 weddings down this year and 3 to go.

I haven't been to that many weddings in my entire lyfe. Quote
enjoralas Posted August 24, 2017 Report Posted August 24, 2017 Plan to ski the shit out of Blue on the weekends and 2-3 weeknights late after work. Might try to get a few of those Pocono cards because I do like Camelback and enjoyed Jack Frost last year, will probably hit Montage once or twice, had fun there last year too. Headed to Steamboat first week in February. Really looking forward to it 4 Quote

No worries of altitude sickness as it's a couple thousand feet lower than summit county and aspen resorts and it snows a lot there. Edited August 24, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

Cool, I'll make sure to try to check it out. You going out there with your Dad??? You'll like Steamboat. No worries of altitude sickness as it's a couple thousand feet lower than summit county and aspen resorts and it snows a lot there. Yeah, Pops is coming with. I didn't think I'd be headed out west this coming season, figured we'd make a trip or two to Vermont or something as the next step in a progression, but a guy at work knows someone who is organizing a group trip, and the price seemed too good to pass up. I love Steamboat. cool mountain, way cool town. Steamboat Smokehouse has never disappointed either. Definitely another one to add to the list to check out. Love me some BBQ. Bought a new pellet grill/smoker this summer. Wife wasn't happy, lol. Can't blame her, it *is* outdoor cooking appliance number 10. Got a great deal though. 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted August 24, 2017 Report Posted August 24, 2017 Enjorales the combination of better snow conditions and wide open terrain makes steamboat easier to ski than a lot of Vermont areas. 1 Quote

I'm kinda gathering that from what I've been looking at, I just meant from a cost of the trip and breaking it to the wife I'm vacationing without the rest of the family perspective. Had kind of planned on a long weekend or two up north before dropping it on her that I'm disappearing for a week and spending a bunch of money maybe season after this one, lol Quote
