toast21602 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Haven’t had pie yet, maybe tonight. I’ve taken 3.14 lift rides so far and it’s good. TP4 & Mark are out and about too. Nicely groomed trails that are softening in the sun. JADIP. Edited March 14, 2019 by toast21602 5 Quote

Working in the cubbie all day I’m still laughing that RideDE asked who the fuck you are lol. He literally disappears for months during the ski season after posting all fall about the leaves changing color. I brought my ski stuff with me to work..wish I was out now though. 1 1 Quote

mute1080 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Epic update. 6 pack is closed but a handful of people wearing Vail shirts at the lift are chatting with nice guy David. I think I overheard one say “gondola.”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 I haven’t been on the quad more than this season since before they installed the six pack. Quote
eaf Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Can you just get a tad closer and ask nicely about what's going on? About Vail in general and heated seats in particular? Quote

And i think the Epic pass would be a $$$ upgrade for the Blue only passholder. Quote

indiggio Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Jackson Hole loves Ikon passholders! Edited March 14, 2019 by indiggio 4 Quote

You know what Jackson hole locals who complain about the crowds is like me driving on 22 and complaining about the traffic...they’re part of the problem just as much as me driving on 22 is part of the problem. Most of the JH locals don’t even bother skiing if there not recent new snow anyway... 2 Quote

There doesnt seem to be quite as much hate in Utah it seems. Jackson people are sort of going over the top. Until the locals buy the mountain, they will probably need to learn to live with it. 1 Quote
Shadows Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Seems like they're stoked. The place is now even more ikonic and they dont want you to throw away ikon passes. 1 Quote

We rode up the gondola with a JH employee and Ikon pass topic came up. He said that the resort had made a bunch of promises to feed money back into the place to repair, upgrade, etc., which they're not seeing happening. He said it's easy to target Ikon passholders as the problem, when it's really the resort they're frustrated with. He also said that the resort said they would cut back on advertising to (hopefully) keep down influx of beginners/intermediates. Quote

The only thing i have seen is some comments on the Canyon Roads FB page or whatever. But thinking about it......i bet people at Alta are not taking it well. they seem to be always sort of like, well, kinda, maybe not the most inviting people in the world. Quote

About 5 years ago when they replaced the old Casper triple with a high speed quad followed by replacing the Eagles rest and sweetwater chairs with a gondola, Jackson hole advertised as all new all blue to get more lower level skiers there. They regraded a few runs as well. Jackson is a terrible place for beginners and intermediates yet those people have a lot less impact on the local season passholders than the Ikon passholders who line up for the Tram not the teewinot.
