Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 Discovered a benefit of wearing ski helmet on plane as wearing it it works as a pretty good pillow when leaning your head on side of plane to catch some Zs. Breakfasting in Florida airport because how else would you fly from PA to CO? For those who wanted pix 7 Quote

Expand Direct. You should fly direct to CO. You fly the most fucked up way. Holy crap dude, how long did it take to get to CO? In the end, whatever gets you there. Post pictures of skiing. Airports and food are overrated. While you are at the airport enjoying one of your 3 hr layovers, at least sign up for the southwest credit card. you will be amazed by how much better southwest is. 2 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 24, 2018 Author Report Posted March 24, 2018 Took the Home James shuttle to the Vintage Inn. Rode the Cabriolet to the resort (like being in Mountain Creek but without the drive and with a plane ride instead). Now eating at the Back Bowl before picking up our rental gear at Christy's. Plan to hit the outdoor hot tub then call it an early night on account of about 3 hours total sleep including on plane. 3 Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 24, 2018 Author Report Posted March 24, 2018 Took the kind of flights that got 3 free roundtrips with miles. Return is direct. Quote
Shadows Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 If i were you i would be using these free miles and ridiculous layovers to travel your band around. Pay for your kids to have a better experience dude. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 I’m sure the kids don’t mind the extra flight time. I remember once going to Disney world as a kid Allentown airport to Washington DC to Charlotte to Orlando Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Posted March 26, 2018 11 awesome runs with the girls tackling trees and moguls. Check out the Cabriolet from our hotel to the base and our lunch break at the peak :-) 8 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 26, 2018 Report Posted March 26, 2018 It looks like Tuesday is gonna be the pow day...I never saw snow in the forecast for last night and doesn’t appear like there’s any on the radar Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Yep that's how it looks now. Yesterday AM they were calling it for it to happen last night. Oh well. Still psyched as we are getting ready for another awesome day of skiing. At least we got the 16" of freshness at BC thursday. Daughter had some altitude sickness 3 am last night but felt better after some crushed Advil mixed in hot cocoa. Glad we are staying somewhere with housekeeping service.

Popular Post Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 27, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Got about an inch fresh today, so AM conditions were a bit better today, but PM was better yesterday. Girls made it up to the 12k peak for one run, but altitude quickly caused one a headache, so it was a one time excursion. Did snap some pix up top though. That was part of a 3 hour complimentary mountain tour by a wonderful guide who took us all over the different regions of the area, helped them lear to use a rope tow, waited when they were slow or needed equipment adjustments, and even refused the tip I tried to give him. One of our glade runs is also pictured below, through Tweedledum glades. Not a single spill for either of them, as they handled moguls, glades and runs up to the "blue/black" level. Awesome 2 days for my amazing 10 year old ski bunnies. When I graduated college there is no way I could have pulled off what they did today. Overall our favorite area was Vasquez Ridge where we did 8 of our 23 runs over two days. Thanks so much to Barb for the vouchers! Edited March 27, 2018 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 11 Quote
Barb Posted March 27, 2018 Report Posted March 27, 2018 Glad you made it to the top of Parsenn Bowl, if only for one run. It’s a scenic spot. 1 Quote
