No Trestle day? :nonono2:

It's no' a skir' - it's a KILT!! :mad:

I don't think those are pants. :D

Answer is easy - all those families with young kids should move to MN or WI.

:fm:

Common wisdom is that if you're headed to Europe, don't sweat the lift ticket costs - they're going to be a miniscule portion of the costs of a ski trip over there.

That said - if I were doing an...

Yeah - irrational retail pricing is nothing new. Just look at the menu at a coffee joint next time you go to one... :D

Jackson and Aspen are included in the full pass now, and always have been, IIRC.

Cancelation is also *really* easy, so if you don't need a reservation you're just a couple clicks away from staying out of the doghouse.

Ahhh... my first pair of "fat" skis. Almost felt like cheating. [emoji16]

They probably extended it because of post #6149. :D

I hear ya... both mine are in BZN, so I *know* they're going to keep skiing, even if it means eating plain rice for the fall term. :D

And a full ride? Gotdam.
...

I also have two college students... I let *them* take care of that shit themselves. :D

Did it today...

Felt really good.

I told you it got easier the more you did it.

It gets easier the more you do it. :D

I'm scheduled to purchase ours today.

That's true - but you're gonna want to make a trip to one of the blacked out resorts on one of those blacked out periods. I hear it's nice. :D

Also - 'round these parts the full gets you an...

Yeah - go for the full... we didn't get out as much as we wanted "destination" wise, but made the decision to do a last-minute trip to Aspen/Snomass easy.

In Colorado it would also have very little appeal if Copper, Winter Park, Steamboat, Aspen, Jackson, Taos, Alta, Bird, Snowbasin, and Big Sky were not on it.

:D

Do what? Take a picture of your DL and upload to the cloud? Mine has been there for AGES.

OK, Boomer. :D

The Full Ikon is up around the price I paid for a Summit Pass back in '96/'97. That's 25 years ago, for those that have trouble with maths. :D

SIUP.

:fmicon:

Cham with Zermatt and the Dolomites would make for a nice 2-3 week ski holiday done by train...

This is true. If you can find a parking spot (go early), then hang out on Challenger or Iron Horse, with a lunch foray to the busy lift of your choice... it's manageable.

Steamboat *should* be less of a shitshow than WP, simply due to its distance from the Front Range.

One tip on the Boat: DON'T EVER GO BACK TO MORNINGSIDE.

You're welcome. :D

:confused:

Spring Breaks are just ramping up about now...

Yeah... I don't like owning houses. Even cheap ones in Italy. :D

I'm still gonna hope for interlodge when we're there. Just on the chance of Country Club.

But I'm no local.

:fmicon:

Si.

Yup. Much cheaper lodging, light-years better food (while also being cheaper than here), drop-dead scenery...

For not having much freedumb, the Euros sure do seem to be living right. Strongly...

To be clear, though - I do *not* believe Whitewater is on the Ikon pass...

What this guy said ^^^

Interesting... very interesting.

"Europe Is Yours: Italy’s Dolomiti Superski and Austria’s Kitzbühel join Zermatt in Switzerland."

I also recall you could combine it with a breakfast buffet. I did it once, for some reason... but as you insinuate - the only real advantage was getting over to Sundown before the hordes.

Yeah - Steamboat has been doing that "First Tracks" thing for *decades* IIRC.

You *are* a spoiled bastid! NTTAWWT. :D

Looks like Big Sky is making the tram "pay-to-play" for a *lot* of season passholders... wonder if this will be visions of things to come more generally?

Yeah - I gotta pay $20 at my local liquor joint. Tasty swill...

Good every-day bottle:

I haven't yet... but I should.

Yep - I've been there. Enjoyed the combo, though the food, for my taste, is quite a bit better to the south...

Really could use some Italian food, prepared in Italy, right about now...

But the food... :D

:D

QFT.

Even when they *appear* to be covered... they are there. Just waiting. Patiently. To fuck your skis up. :D

The Australian guy here is right.
