Are you flying Quantas airlines out of LAX? Also are you renting ski gear? Quote
pcklein31 Posted August 4, 2022 Report Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Flying United between SFO-Sydney and then Sydney-LAX on the way home... Confirmed for Business upgrade both ways (Thank God for 1K!!!). Flying Virgin Australia inside the county as they partner with United and get reward points/miles, plus they give me priority boarding and lounge access... And stuff with the 1K Oh... And I'm taking my own gear. I get three free checked bags, so I figured why not. Edited August 4, 2022 by pcklein31 1 Quote

Ive been twice for opening on Sunday this summer and it is empty for the first 20 minutes while everyone changes in the locker room . Quote
RidgeRacer Posted August 5, 2022 Report Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't mind trying a new Pennsylvania ski area like Blue knob or maybe hit up plattekill (never been) since I'll probably not do an ORDA card this season. Always nice to add new areas to the list. Maybe a PASR day at the knob indy peeps? Other than that Blue of course and trip(s) to AZ SB. Edited August 5, 2022 by RidgeRacer 1 Quote

I got there for opening, just to find out you have to wait in line in the mall til opening to get into the locker room. Last September I changed in the parking garage, but with yesterdays heat I changed in the locker room. I was annoyed at first thinking everyone would beat me out to the slopes, but still ended up being the 3rd chair out Quote

Plattekill is awesome when the snow is deep enough to ski the woods. It opens up a crazy amount of acreage. A week old storm can still have untracked . My favorite place! https://nyskiblog.com/winter-storm-riley-at-plattekill/ I skied storm Riley Saturday. Still having nice dreams! Edited August 5, 2022 by AirheadD8 2 Quote

It depends on which floor. I usually park in the top floor so I have more 'privacy' for changing in and out of my clothes.... You got to walk down a flight of stairs and the walk is really not any further than from where you all park to the 6/pack or quad.. 1 Quote
