toast21602 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 no unlimited student pass? thats kinda shitty. they should have one. maybe i just missed it... Quote
trackbiker Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 IIRC Blue also pays someone to cut their halfpipe. Don't know all the details, but I have read that pipe cutting is a difficult task. Part art and part science. Snow conditions vary due to temps and humidity from top to bottom as it's being made, compaction occures towards the bottom, voids in the snow can occur due to wind, compaction, or melting. Maybe Planet or a leasing company is buying the Zaugg? They could then truck it to different areas that they serve? Much more efficient use of capital $ for how often it would be used. Where are the trails names on Sno's site? Didn't see them on there tonight, but maybe missed it. Quote

Ski Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 no unlimited student pass? thats kinda shitty. they should have one. maybe i just missed it... I agree. I was sitting at a poker table tonight with four parents of seven kids who will not being getting any sort of season pass because there's no cheap unlimited student pass. Sno def needs to change that. One kid is a basketball player who can't ski weeknights. He just wants a season pass for Sat/Sun. The student and college passes exclude Saturday days. Sno being a tightwad about this loses them money. No way to sugar coat that one... Sunday - Friday & Nights (Sunday-Friday pass valid every night during the season, and Sunday - Friday all season, excluding Sundays of Martin Luther King, President's Weekends.) Adult (19 years & older) Buy Now $489.00 Junior (18 years & under) Buy Now $399.00 College Pass * Buy Now $360.00 Senior citizens (65 - 69) Buy Now $439.00 Senior citizens (70 & older) Buy Now $309.00 Junior Nights Only Pass (18 and under) Buy Now $199.00 Quote
bigdaddyk Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Hey, wait.... If it makes you feel better, your opinion does mean something. Sorry about the old part, that can't be helped . Quote
riderossi Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 update from the lift department: supposedly Long Haul is going to be open everyday this year, staffed before the bunny hill. We'll see how it plays out. Quote

Yep. From the griping I've been hearing, I bet they 'introduce' a real student pass next year. However a full price unlimited junior season pass to Elk is $675, while it's only $499 at Sno. Eh, so maybe not. Man, Elk is freaking expensive Quote

We'll see how it plays out. That's great news. I like the Northface, but it's nice to have the option to take a few long runs now and then. Quote

Ha, you didn't like the skate from the Iron Horse? Upper/Lower Fast Track is going to be like a brand new trail for a lot of people. When it snowed on a Monday last year, there were still first tracks to be had on Thursday. Quote
stever2003 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Are the new trails Rattler, Sidewinder, and Baby Moose? When will these show up on the trail map? Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Are the new trails Rattler, Sidewinder, and Baby Moose? When will these show up on the trail map? Probally when they decide to update the trail map. Quote
Schif Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Probally when they decide to update the trail map. On a similar note, anyone notice that they haven't put out a brochure/pamphlet this year? Quote
heretic Posted December 30, 2007 Report Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) On a similar note, anyone notice that they haven't put out a brochure/pamphlet this year? Talked to a friend that works at the mountain. These new trails are a joke. Baby moose is behind the lodge for little kids learning how to ski. Zip is basically a very short connection trail. Snake and sidewinder should be the same trail. It actually gets two names because it crosses fast track. Rattler sounds like it has potential and glades is off of fast track. Not sure what the plan for that is since we don't really get that much natural snow here. Edited December 30, 2007 by heretic Quote
