Hey all,
I'm going to UPS next year, pretty stoked for that.
Anyone go/going/gone to UPS? Any comments on the ski scene?
It seems like Crystal($$$) or snoqualmie are the main picks for skiing. I'm from Boulder, so what are those 2 like compared to Vail/summit?
What's the BC scene like?
Thanks!
No idea, but your dad and uncle have a moderately entertaining comedy act.
Welcome to the PNW sklar... While I spend my days up at Baker.. Crystal & Snoqualmie/Alpental have the goods.. While you won't find the Back Bowls out here (no where else for that matter) but the local resorts out here will deliver.. The BC scene.. goes 12 months a yr up here..

Just remember to crack a book every now n then...
Thanks guys.
Not related to the comedy sklars unfortunately
I'm also trying to figure out how much I'll be able to ski, with that whole school thing going on. Probably not as much as my brother at Montana state...
If you are willing to make the drive, I ski Stevens a lot.Quote:

Alpental: The pierced punk rock chic: TOTALLY GNARLY and don't underestimate her spunk with only 2200 vertical. She'll slay you and her BC makes JH look like the mall.
Crustal: The prom queen who gives it out to everyone. Kinda used up, too plopular and hard to get with for a solitary moment. But o lawdee, if her social coordinator has made space, she gives it. " - Buster.
^hahaaha
Anyone else?
Iggyskier went to UPS. Lives in OR now. You should send him a PM. He's also originally from Boulder.
^ Alkares. fucking gold.
but buster highman wrote those words...... in a thread the original poster should have found before he posted this thread by using the amazing search function.Quote:

Don't expect sprawling hotels or condos or fur coats, do expect brown bags and mismatched Gore-Tex. Don't expect snotty gaper lawyers from New York, do expect to get your ass kicked on the hill by lawyers driving beater pickups. Don't expect to show up with attitude and get shown the goods, do expect to experience the "Seattle freeze" regardless of your enthusiasm. Remember, in the end it's all just sliding on snow.
You need your own special fucking thread! Who the fuck would think you were from boulder? You've got the entitlement now all you need are a Subaru, brandnewtouring gear and a dog named after an Alaskan peak, an obscure poet or some ironic boyband to fit in.Quote:
