    The dreaded 2025 premier pass email just came in. The pricing is really getting out of hand. I get marginal increases (maybe) but 10% more every year is completely unsustainable when you’re dealing...

    Super fun day. Gondy line at Ajax was crazy at 9 but then as usual ski right on every lift the rest of the day. They were telling everyone in line the gondy would close at 11 and to stay high, called...

    What’s the best way to watch some racing this weekend? Can you ski Ajax and see it from the hill or gotta do the bleachers thing? Always been out of town for WC weekend in the past

    I’m curious to try the 110s. Strongly disliked the 100s and I tend to be happy on most skis so I was kinda thrown off

    Highlands was killer today. Deep in DT and the wind and snow kept filling it back in like every run. Some cross loaded spots were bottomless

    Highlands was absurdly good, like a top ski day of all time for me. Multiple laps down DT without a single other track in sight and same story in the bowl. And never waited in a lift line
