Ok mags, need some info. Looks like my daughter will be attending the fine university over in Eugene next year. Which means three things: 1. I lose a great ski partner 2. I'll be using all 7 ikon days at Bachelor next year and 3. I have to figure out how to keep her skiing. She really wanted to go to UO but is very worried she won't be able to ski enough. (which makes me a proud dad!)

Anybody have any info for me? She'll have 7 days cause she'll still have an Ikon for trips and being back home. Does Bachelor have a student pass? I hear that UO has a freeride team that goes there most weekends, and also that they might have student discounts for passes. Is someplace else better? Is this gonna cost me a freakin fortune?

Thanks for any insight - flying blind right now...

Thanks for all the advice, and now it turns out I don’t need it. Daughter pivoted in the end, decided she was never going to get 4 years again like undergrad to be a total ski bum college kid, and decided on Univ of Utah. She got in the honors program there, likes the campus etc. She’ll be very happy with the school for sure, and now she’s 35 min from dorm to chair.

I’m the end, she made her college choice based on skiing. Not sure if that make me a good dad or a terrible one…

[Supermoon]

Awesome! Go Utes! Though I’m biased….

Wow, 6 laps on the south side? Car to summit? Even just Palmer up to illumination 6x is a huge day

[BFD]

I guess it is the timberline parking lot to summit. Climbed the pearly gates so transitioned to crampons each time. I think he skied old chute but maybe pearly gates also. He talked more about the guy setting the FKT. Called him the real deal.

The fkt is nuts. But Dude, 6x in 24 hrs is the real deal too…

FKT is one lap - they did one every four hours for 24.

Bachelor didn't disappoint.

Heavy wet cream. Sounds like a 60's rock band, but it was the conditions at Bachelor.



Good times.

What are the odds?

^^^ ha, that’s amazing


I’m guessing the SSX lifty that asked for change was prolly looking more at my kid’s helmet featuring BBI stickers, but I answered I do

Not sure I’ll make closing day…so, thanks for the turns this year, MHM. It wasn’t my best year…I missed so many days, prolly my lowest count in many years

not going to put summer wax on yet, but i think i need to consider my training for next year as starting now

[klauss]

Thanks for that, it was worth reading. The creek is a hell of a trap right there. I haven't skied there but I think I've seen a video of a mag or two almost ending up in the creek somewhere in that area. The report added good context that I didn't have from looking at the trail map.

Maybe this vid at the end?

I always poke around back there. Had to halp a few girls drop down into the creek the day I shot this vid and have helped people stuck back in those chutes many times over the years.

Sucks
