skipo with twin tips used to be a huge deal

Deferred my IKON pass til next year. Got 3 discount tickets for EPIC, as I will probably do a couple trips to EPIC mountain. I can’t complain- skiing Switzerland in February.

Ouch. Muscle damage may take awhile to heal. I wonder how deep the puncture wound was.

Nah, only if this weather came a week earlier.

These whistler locals and Canadians in general are a little weird and that’s coming from me but I enjoy this guys videos and whistler is least North America in snow so far this season so thought I’d share.

The Park city ski patrol has been on strike for a week and it’s been a major shitshow for the resort.

Hasn't helped Vail's stock price either...

[momskeeztoo]

Yeah, saw their stock is losing money. Seriously, just pay your workers a living  wage. Ski patrollers in these areas have a lot of responsibility. It takes a lot of practice and education. 
I feel bad for anyone injured there.

All they want is $23 vs $21 starting and $2 an hour increases above and I believe $1600 equipment reimbursement and a few other things.  Park city had 20% other terrain open while deer valley next door had 69% of their terrain open.

I was talking to a patroller that works at an unnamed Vail resort here. They said they were “borrowing” ski patrollers from other resorts for resorts out west. I just wondered how that could possibly even compare…

Anybody here ever been a liftie   I know @Shadows used to bump chairs on the Main Street lift.  Although I haven’t seen this yet. It’s on my list of stuff to watch.
