Overrated ski areas

[Doremite]

Just glad to see all the rad places I ski not mentioned. You get it too.

I fucking hate soup. People think soup is a meal. SOUP IS NOT A MEAL. Soup is a damn appetizer. Soup as a meal is a recipe for slowly starving to death. My wife used to make soup for dinner and she couldn't figure out why I was starving 45 minutes later. It's all fucking water! What the hell's the point? I mean, it can taste good, but soup is an affront to caloric intake. Whoever decided soup was a meal should be slapped.

Also, soup isn't American. Soup didn't originate here. Soup came from all those other countries. Our founding fathers came to America for religious freedom and to escape the tyranny of soup. There is no fucking soup served on Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July for a damn reason.

Fuck soup.

You gotta lot of nerve pal....

FIFY

Jackson groomers are way overrated, and packed with rich people from New York and their asshole kids taking ski lessons.... the backcountry laps are amazing and I will always treasure my times there.

Oh man, I’m of the opinion the ski owl is the best hill in Oregon. If only it was a little higher.

Management and altitude are it's downfall. Love the history if it, and Yumper

I've had good luck with snow and weather the two times I've been to WB but I have to say that the waffles at Crystal hut are highly overrated. Just throwing a lot of stuff on a waffle doesn't make it good. IMO only a Liege style Belgian waffle is worth going out of my way for. Sugarbowl and Squaw both have Eurosnack kiosks with Liege waffles although they could use some powdered sugar.

Depends how you rate. My wife loved stopping at Crystal Hut and getting a waffle. For what ever reason. But I was assured an hour of solo free skiing every day on Blackcomb. She would head off to the hut and I’d play around in the alpine, hitting lines she did not want to touch, for a hour before heading down the road to meet her as she exited that steamy cabin. It did exactly as intended.

The guy was renowned for having a scratchy temperament with co-workers, managers and general public. When it was found he was manning the steam table "glocked-up" he was let go.

One of the more sage pieces of advice I ever got was from a Marshal in Alta: "if your lifestyle choices require discretion, then be discrete about them."

49 degree north mystery soup... tomato based with veggies, beans and pasta. salty and artificially thick.






@$7 per cup - this soup is overrated.

[b0ardski]

49%N food aint even close to when Frank ran it for the last few years, but they're certainly saving money; the new E.C. likes her minimalist menu salty, strait outta the #10 can,(the salad bar's at least fresh) Next time bring cuppa ramen and buy an extra beer for $7, you'll feel better.

I like JH, but the waffles at the top of the tram are way overrated.

[toast2266]

Whitewater has the best ski hill food.

Whitewater has the best ski hill food.

I pretty much agree with that statement.
I'd consider Snowbasin amongst the best in the lower 48.

Mt Bohemia is overrated.

There’s now almost nonstop hype about how it’s THE THIRD BEST RATED SKI AREA IN THE COUNTRY!!!! And, though I love it, and though it’s by far the best in the midwest, the straight-faced comparisons with Alta and Silverton and Japow need to stop. It’s like a player who hit .310 in Single A ball going around telling everyone he’s a mlb hall of famer. No dude, .310 is awesome...but 310 in A ball doesn’t make you Ted Williams.

Whenever I say this I get huge backlash, like it’s not good enough for these people to just have a pretty good little ski hill, you have to worship them.
I’m sorry, but 250” and a season skiing bony moguls with a 30” base in super tight trees from late December to March is not comparable with the top tier of good skiing in this continent. It’s just not.


I’ll say this: when pro skiers start moving here instead of Jackson, Tahoe, SLC, Colorado, Seattle, I’ll revise my stance. They come here and are shocked this exists in Michigan, because it’s shocking...but the 3rd best in the country it’s not.

I heard they have triple black diamonds

I heard Chris Davenport is leaving Aspen for Mt Bohemia.
