saltyant Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Flying with ski equipment was really easy. I decided on the SUV and got a nearly brand new Subaru Outback with only 1K miles and AWD. Never had heated seats before and didnt figure out how to turn it off yet, so my back starts to get sweaty. This is great!!! Edited February 4, 2019 by saltyant 3 Quote

It's supposed to snow mid week (!) and driving around the snow in a compact would have caused me a lot of stress. I went with the Payless reservation you found on Orbitz. 2 Quote

Typing this from the Capitol building, maybe ill do a tour here also before heading up to the mountains. A lot of hippies and pot around. 1 Quote

Candlewood by the airport. Got to ride the Cabaret... just like Mountain Creek! Not skiing just sitting by the window watching people ski, studying the trail map and drinking free water.
