    Places left to ski that aren't owned by shitheads

    Wetslides and giant roller balls might be what they are trying to avoid. Hasn't really been a hard freeze night in a while

    And with that snowpack the wet slides would likely be devastating.

    I killed an hour or so flipping through Boho Tv and it’s a solid low budget effort and the vibe is fun. I would have loved to hang out there during my younger days, folks are having fun , getting turns in, and making the best of what they have. Solid.

    Pretty much all the ski hills in Alaska are owned by a club or city.

    Eaglecrest - City owned a large percentage of the city wide sales tax goes to buying explosives for ski patrol
    Eyak - City owned? Open when it snows.. From what I can tell there will be an announcement on facebook "hey it snowed last night the big hill is open at noon"
    Arctic Valley - Owned by the Anchorage Ski Club, actually has employees now
    Skiland- Privately owned, by someone who uses northern lights viewing tours to subsidize ski operations, gives every UAF student a free season pass

    Hilltop- doesn't count

    I hope the Pomeroy corp that bought Alyeska is benevolent and has deep pockets. JB was so bad I was hoping vail would buy the place.

    So Alaska, not terrible.
    Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care
