Just bought another ticket for Thursday lol. This mountain is so big I feel like ive still only scratched the surface. Had Such an epic untracked run down gondalier that I need to do that again. Currently eating at the top of the Gondola restaurant. Going bankrupt from this trip and now Trump has made my portfolio worthless. Edited February 6, 2018 by saltyant 2 Quote

Good move then you don't have to drive during the snowstorm Wednesday night or Thursday morning. And you know jackson hole more than 5 times as big as Stowe.

Yeah I'm on vacation and I don't feel like stressing over the drive Thursday morning. The roads will be fine by Thursday afternoon to get to Rutland and maybe I'll stay an extra night and ski Killington Saturday, and if it gets crowded I may try Pico instead since I hear that never gets too crowded. My passes are good for any day and are direct to lift, but hard to sell because theres no way for the buyer to verify they haven't been used Quote

saltyant Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Posted February 6, 2018 Uh oh just realized Thursday is going to be rough. I might have to skip the free breakfast to get all the powder. Maybe ill look for a grocery store and just buy a 6 pack of granola bars and eat all 6 on Thursday morning. The cool thing here is the lifts open at different times so if I plan well I can get 3 deep untracked powder runs at least Quote

Over 27k but I pissed around in The toll house area for a few runs and that lift is so dang slow. Plus my lesson but still a great day. Just about to hit Chin Clip and see if I want to try Moguls anymore, if not I'll hit one of the 2 exits and run Gondalier. Quote

I used to stay at the inn at the mountain with my dad which was at the base of the toll house lift. We'd drive up to the main lot because that lift would open later. The former inn at the mountain is no longer a hotel but it was a good place to change out of my ski clothes before driving home Quote

I just got a text from JF Dan saying "woah dude, sweet RTMs" and also that he'd be devastated if I quit this site. So I'll update my stats, even those 2 sessions at Seven Springs and Camelback although I don't really consider those skiing, but I did make it down the runs without falling.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Did you ski chin clip top to bottom?? On the powder day Thursday ski nosedive and go left into slalom glades. They are nice introductory glades Edited February 6, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote

I was going to ski it top to bottom the last run but they closed the lower half, so I exited and took Gondolier the rest of the way. Edited February 6, 2018 by saltyant Quote

The former inn at the mountain is no longer a hotel but it was a good place to change out of my ski clothes before driving home I agree. The run down Easy Mile was boring and wasn't worth the 15 minute lift ride. I did Easy Mile because after doing full Toll Road I took the lift and saw a lot of untracked. Now I know why it's untracked down there at 3 pm because it sucks and seems to just be a way to get to the main trails from Toll House. Regardless, glad I did that area once just to check it out. I like skiing the whole mountain and also enjoy the long trails once in a while, like Toll Road and Great Eastern. It's relaxing just cruising and enjoying the scenery for over 10 minutes.
