Best deal is to teach on Friday nights. Only teach for 6 weeks (2-4 hours each) and get free unlimited pass plus 50% off passes and lessons for the family. I saved thousands doing that when my kids were taking lessons. Only way I could afford it. I can't imagine trying to do it now without some type of discount.

What hasn't gone up 30 percent lately...
Anyway got the girls signed up even if it cost me a kidney. Hope I can ski without it

I always thought the birthday suit descents were a little weird, but usually in good fun. BD suit skinner in a popular area--big weird and creepy vibes!

No judgement here. Just make sure to practice your kickturns before skinning naked…

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm happy this image isn't any more detailed.

I've gotten goggle tans and shorts tans, but never a backpack-and-hip-beacon tan.

International skied real gud this morning. I was aiming for silver, but turned around early because there is still snow across the road before the switchbacks. Skis on from top to bottom, but today might be the last day you can do that on snow. Sorry, no pics of Nash--too fun to stop!

Nash got a little refresh yesterday--enough to smooth out the bumps and cover tracks. Fast mush with a supportive base @ 7 this am. Fun, but you gotta walk for it now--continuous skin from the top of sessel except for the carry near the cliffs.

Only one set of tracks

Maybe it was yesterday

Nash and adrenalin still holding the goods. One can ski continuously to sessel. The scramble up rollen is getting a little sketch

Has anyone been up the road to Silver Peak recently?

I saw a TR posted somewhere (maybe FB?) that went up a week or so ago. It might have been climber kyle but not sure.

From an acquaintances Strava feed yesterday morning, it appears as though he started tracking his outing at 3600' and titled the activity cryptically, "Silver is definitely still in".

**waveshello** · 06-21-2022, 02:36 PM

I am thinking I will head to silver tonight instead of Alpental. Someone on TAY says it's clear to the Mt Catherine TH as of Saturday, that's pretty good.

Yep! It's coming along nicely, I'm only at single black skill level...Lost and Found, such a fun trail. Tried one of the double blacks and walked most of it... Awesome park and excited for more trails. It was really really dry the whole time it was open. The blue freeride line needs some work to make it flow better and the lower blue tech is still very very raw. But very excited for what's to come.

I was planning on checking it out as soon as it got some rain just to cut down the dust. But it didn’t happen. Next year it should be bigger.
