Vail Stoke Thread... 2025!

[saltyant]

Pretzel bites with a Hot Toddy. Only $28.96 and even got a few dollars off with my Epic Pass. @Ski2Live Live2Ski would be so proud of my thrifty spending at Vail. If only I shoved a mushy salami sandwich in my pocket I could have saved three fitty. And I didn't even get carded which was rad, while the next person in line did. That was sick not having to fish for my photo ID in my ski pants.

I’ve actually never had a hot toddy before but looks grate.  Add hot water to the leftover Queso and you can make soup.

This is more of a food/travel report..

Are you skiing at all?..No trail reports..

Is it crowded?  

On Monday I got super triggered. This one chairlift ended up being like a 15 minute wait. Every few minutes some gapers would screw up and stop the lift. I got big mad. It was worse than Camelback. That was total BS. Today was grate, 2 or 3 minutes waits at teh liftz

You should come to Vail and you can help me with my checked bags on the way home and we can each get a hot toddy. Then we can post more food pics and travel stories on this thread.

15 minute wait on a Monday. I guess people are starting to find out about Vail. That ski the Rockies campaign in the 80s really paid off. 
 

did you ski any black or double blacks.  Matt edge was the only one who liked my double black joke..

@saltyant I would do a ski trip with you and your brahs sometime…honestly I think it’s radical you can enjoy both group and solo trips..and have people to travel with….high five and have fun skiing tomorrow.  You’re prob out cougar hunting which isn’t the play…you’re the prey…

Yeah that's just not right. When I'm at a ski resort the wait should be less than a minute. I'm probably quitting early Friday, I'm not doing those stupid long lines. Today was grate tho. There were no lines. I even rode the gondola solo and also once with some hot babes. Also skied nearly open to close which is a rarity for me. I was in the zone today.

Yesterday we got some perder. I think like 8 inches. I skied the famous Back Bowls(tm) which was sickbird. We found some gnarly glades which was rad.

If you go across the bridge on the right is a dope ass restaurant from a former ski racer. The back dinning room looks like the castle from Beauty and the Beast.

Vail Resorts sucks but Vail is amazing, just going out to Blue Sky. No mint though

Ordered some fine wine and escargot at Lancelot. That shit was dope. Only $44, what a bargain. @Ski2Live Live2Ski would suggest a fool and money soon departed. Too bad I didn't have a coupon to save $3.50

Escargood was grate and it's my last day so maybe I'll buy a $500 dinner like @AtomicSkier. Some premium Mer Lot would be radical. I skied groomers, trees, glades, bowls, back bowls, courdoroy, snow, perder, slopes, hills, mountains, steeps, catwalks, adventure parks, moguls, deep perder, soft snow, hard snow, ice, grippy snow, and between bushes.

Unfortunately my brah got a 28 day Epic Pass suspension on Tuesday for going out of bounds.  As we all know, Vail just doesn't have enough terrain in bounds.

$500 dinner is once a year and I get a good supper and so does atomic Jeff and drinks dessert and was $600 this year cause Nazareth Jay came along. Oh well that’s cheap compared to car and skiing stuff. 
 

I can’t even ski this weekend cause I’m still healing but I’ll be out soon..maybe Tuesday or Wednesday when it’s gonna be 69 degrees.  Are you gonna be at Blue or camelback on Sunday or are you gonna try to hit both mountains on your geek to geek pass??

Was that only his second ski day?  Did he go to copper mountain or abasin or somewhere. That’s harsh but you need to follow the rules.  At JH I got in trouble with the yellow jackets and red jackets a few times back when I used to ski fast lol

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

@saltyant you and your brahs would like this channel.  Logistics can be a real humdinger.

Correct. He went to Copper. Vail doesn't funk around. You'd think it would be a warning the first time. There's a sign that says "28 days suspension and legal action". I wonder what legal action is ever taken?

[saltyant]

Can't wait to fly over @Benm house again. Maybe I'll ask the pilot of United 1305 to circle around a point
