You’re now a solid low intermediate!!!  

I made it down Sasquatch at Bear Creek, which should be a triple black diamond, so that means I'm advanced.

What were you doing at bear creek?  How did you like it?  I’ve never been but I went to Doe mountain once in 1995 and it sucked

I toured Bear Creek on 12/27/17 and posted a live action thread. Wao, that was a long time ago. Shadows still commented on my posts, Root was still active, the mods fucked with my tags, and @toast21602 got 5 likes and a Recommended Post for writing "STFU".

I'm not doing that again. I'll start looking at hotels with triple bunk beds for me, you and MattEdge. I get top bunk.

Matt Edge has never skied out west so maybe include him on your trip to Colorado. He can teach you about the birds and the bees.

Let me check with Walt and Pops.

@enjoralas can MattEdge come with us to Colorado? We can look for a hotel with quadruple bunks (I get top bunk)

You can take Root, too. He hasn't skied out west.

We’ll settle this during the ski season at Blue...he had a trip to Breck planned with an ex but it fell through so he always harps about how great Stowe and killington are.

@saltyant are you looking forward to tackling woods and double diamond trails at Stowe that you didn’t ski 4 years ago?

My bad...I thought he ended up going by himself post break up and having the adventure of a lifetime. Like hut tub time machine.

Correct. That's a big reason why I want to go back. Plus Stowe is just awesome.

He should have..life is too short to dwell on that sort of thing.  When life gives you lemons make beef stew.

Maybe I'll go to Stowe this winter for some radical New England skiing on my Epic Pass. I want to walk up the hill in ski boots and ski into the gondola again. I wonder if other PASRs will come* like @GrilledSteezeSandwich @MattEDGE@SallyCat @VTmark @VTmark_take2 @moe ghoul @Robert2 @RajeevGuptaSucheeta

*I'll be driving myself up in my Sonic (no carpool) and staying in my own hotel house room. We can hang out in front of the Fourrunner Quad in the morning, ski 1/8 of a run together, and maybe go to Piecasso one evening for takeout while I SUJOPO in my hotel house room the rest of the week

@saltyant- I’m down for Stowe!! I have epic this season. I’ve been looking for a 1-2 ish week Airbnb in January but I haven’t finalized anything.

This is grate! I'll be staying in a hotel house, haven't started looking yet. Northern Lights Lodge is decent and cheap but the owner wouldn't refund my non-refundable $318 a few years ago so I'm not sure about staying there again just on principle.

If you’re going to be there more than a night or two, an Airbnb is definitely the way to go. Especially if you have a small group.
