Will someone please tell me how to feel about the Skico/KSL acquisition of Intrawest?

[iceclimb]

Well, you should start by worrying. That's clearly the best path. No one is asking the important questions like. What does this mean for gay ski week, and will this finally allow SkiCo to build a lift to the top of Highlands.

I don't think I like all this consolidation.. but if it's going to happen, at least we may see some of the benefits (pass reciprocity)

Anyone been past the platform on Smuggler?

I might need to go for early morning ride since the buckets open till 6 Friday.
Anyone want to take a run, I'll be skiing all weekend, mostly with Hanle.
Or send a Pm.

[JaytaeMoney]

My better half hiked Smuggler yesterday after work and said it was bone dry up there.

[Shredhead]

Yeah, I figured the road would be. Curious about the trails in the trees.

[Lloyd Braun]

Apparently Kaplan just made the call, which is good.

Do you even ski Ajax anymore, I haven't seen you all winter?

[Shredhead]

That was quite the corn harvest. Nice to finally ski with you Shredhead

[Shredhead]

Fun day for sure!

Cooking brats at the base of 1A after the Buckoff.
Everyone's invited!

[JaytaeMoney]

Anyone know where I can park a vehicle in Carbondale for a few days? CDOT and RFTA websites are both a little vague on whether or not overnight parking is allowed at the park & ride lot.

[dabaier]

You should be in at the Red Hill parking lot. My buddy recently left his car overnight for a hut trip there.

[JaytaeMoney]

Right on, that's exactly what I'll be doing. Heading down to the San Juans for a few days.

[grskier]

Ajax is still skiing well 🤡

[The SnowShow]

McFarlands?

Hopefully they will reopen Aspen for Memorial Weekend.
If not, maybe see you guys on the pass.

We should certainly have the snow above 3, but depends on how the top melts out above the snowmaking. But they are definitely considering it again since the bucket is open whether we're skiing or not.

Anybody know of any rooms opening up in Aspen/Basalt/Carbondale soon? Looking for my best bud from college who's living in Aspen. If it's a roommate situation, preferably older (30+) and not crazy partiers as he'll be in nursing school school. Thanks all! PMs would be great.

Is he over working in the lab that quickly... :0

If he can get into AVH's employee housing, it's got a great location... not sure how hard that is to get into now though.

Ajax Express is turning 10-2.

Anyone ever been to the Snowmass Bike Demo?
Debating between skiing this weekend or biking the demo.
I'm changing my bike quiver and there are a bunch of bikes at the demo, that I would like to try, that wouldn't be available for demo in town.
