I'll be hanging with my grommits as well.

Seems like ski season always sneaks up on me. It looks like Crystal is opening this Wednesday, and with the change in the forecast it looks like it may be a sure bet.

You know where I'll be!


...

Scott,

I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. Not only for you, but for all those who know and love Wil.

It is hard when those we care about pass on; it leaves us behind to carry on the...

The dye is cast. I purchased my plane tickets to IBK for February.

Thank you, everyone, for keeping a fellow mag on the straight and narrow.

Was up at Crystal today hiking around- no snow yet, but the temp dropped about 5 degrees while I was there. I sure hope it snows, these next photos show how barren it still is.
...

You make a great point. One thing I wish we had more of one West coast- a better train system. It takes over an our to travel from Tacoma to Seattle by train. That's only 35 miles (56.327Km); with no...

Wow! Harsh, but hilarious! Thanks mang! :the_finge


Marius... thanks for the good info. Sounds like staying in 'IBK' is the wisest plan, and allows me to do whatever we feel like.

So I looked into flying into Innsbruck, staying a couple of days there, then heading to St. Anton or Solden for several days. Solden is totally booked, and only the REALLY expensive places are left...

OUCH!!!!!

With all the other American tourists? WTF? I wouldnt consider myself an American Tourist. I travel, yes, but am I rude and entitled like the stigma we have? Nope. That's why I am here trying to get...

Will do. Thanks!

I am all about the train system if it can get me to the hill(s), and back. I am planning on staying at the Hilton in Innsbruck, and I they should have info on that :confused: Is...

Would it be wiser to rent a car, or is there public transportation that can get me to some of the resorts further away?

Ville, this one of the articles I researched. Nice work!

Havent been here in a loooong time, but I always return home to get the best advice.

This coming Feb. I am heading to Austria for 10 days, Innsbruck to be exact. In the process, I have been...

I've got too much chit in de ole ski room! So I am selling some things to thin out the herd!

I am off to the hill. I hope I see some of you up there Nutty, Iggy you have my cell.

Look for the guy rolling in the Hawaiian shirt, and ask him for change for a nickel! :D

GTFOOH!!!

A Jetter sighting! Now there is a Mag that will be missed for the last weekend Roll Call at Crystal.

Igg, Nutcase be sure and call me when you are slope style.

Sorry Scott. I would happily take you up, but I am staying up at the hill all weekend. If you drive yourself up I'll buy the beer. :D

I will be with the gromets most of the time (drop in lessons...

Well it looks like this is it. Even though Crystal has more snow than they know what to do with, they are still calling it a season this Sunday (04/13). :cussing::frown:

It has been a rather...

I cant believe they are not going to stay open until Memorial weekend! That sucks!

I think Mt. Bachelors management has been talking to Crystal's management.

They are all getting cheaper by the...

Hey, just because I am not around as much as I used to be, I can still sense the Maggot'dom!

Nice seeing you last Saturday Shin! I'll be up this Sunday, per usual.

BC- Keep us posted on the...

Yo Mags!

Anyone got a missus who needs a great new set of great ski pants? I made the genious decsion to buy my wife an Arcteryx outfit for Valentines. I bought her a coat and pants on-line, so I...

Uhhhh, I am not sure how I tie into all of this.... but here goes

It has been sometime since my last visit, but what the hell has happened around here?!?!? A guy writes an article about the board...

Sorry, only to those in the Greater 48... my bad.

I am selling an unused, undrilled, shiney new (last seasons model) pair of Nordica Supercharger Blowers '07.

Size: 185cm
Dimensions: 139-110-129

I am asking $400. PM me if interested. Oh,...

I tried the Falcon, but the low instep completely cut the circulation off in my foot. I would have to take my foot out of the boot to get thingsworking again.

I thought about the Full Tilt, and...

BUMP!

It looks like I (hopefully) have a solution for my chicken legs... as to Comish so poignantly put it. I have decided to go with a custom-fit foam liner. The boot I went with is the Lange 120...

You are all bastards, the lot of ya! Getting to ski this early; its madness, utter madness. :fuckyou: :D

It will be, at the very best, 4 more weeks until we can ski up here in the PNWubb'ya.
...

I have heard that the flexons have a pretty low instep, yes? This is the same area I ran into troubles with the Falcon 10.

I think I am going to have to give the Krypton a go. It couldnt be any...

I can definitely relate. I end up cranking the buckles all the way over and good night feet!

I have tried the Kyptons with the std liner, but not the custom liner. The std liner was ok, and the...

I have worked for a ski shop for the last several years, and eventhough we have great boot fitters, I still have not found a pair of boots that lock my heel and ankle into place without cutting off...

I am selling my 2007 K2 Seths (189cm). These skis have only seen three days of slope time (if that), so basically they are new, and in excellent condition. The bindings mounted on the skis are Marker...

I never had the honor of meeting Nils, but from what has been said here he sounds like the salt of the earth. My sincerest condolences to his friends and family

RIP Plake, you will be missed.

It is crap! They changed their whole policy mid-summer regarding access to other ski areas they own. Now there are all of these stipulations associated with them.

I guess one of our customers came...

I am curious how they responded to this point? This was the same reason EVERYONE with kids did not buy passes earlier this summer. There was no need to!

I say you call them back, or send another...

Happy Birthday K!!!!!

I s'pose I deserved that one. ;)

OftPiste- Sorry man, but foob Jr. has had a pass for several years. Don't even get me started with Susie, she is a piece of work.

C'mon Buster out with it. You can preface your rumor by stating that you have no basis to the claim, thus absolving you of any wrong doing. If the rumor somehow implicates you in any way then I say...

I just pm'd you.

And that is the crux of the argument! SNEAKY!

If they decided a rate hike at the end of the season and let everyone know, no problem; at least they are up front about the whole thing. I still...

To all of you Crystal Mountain (Washington) Mags who have kids that are 10 and under!!!!!!!!!

Over the summer Crystal pulled a totally bush league maneuver; they initially listed their kids season...

Normally I would take you up on that, but I believe I may be riding up with Keith on Sunday... he's driving. Sorry.

Look for me in the Hawaiian shirt. :biggrin:

SUNDAY!!!! OOOOH YEAH!!!!

I am resemble that comment! :p

Yep, thats right! They are open for one more weekend! Tomorrow they are selling $5 lift tickets in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Sunday they are selling $20 lift tickets if you have a pass from another...

Anyone skiing at Crystal for closing day tomorrow?

Skiing??? I didnt think there were any PNW Mags still skiing?!?!:eek: ;)

I'll be up at Crystal Mt. Sunday.

They're still having it? The King = boney

Now I know why you have 3200 posts... for ridiculous comments like the aformentioned. C'mon Jetter, seriously!


Coombas if you must know.

I am selling my K2 Seths '07 (189) w/ Marker M14.0 Pistons '07 Bindings. They have been skied a total of 3 days, and they are in excellent shape.
