A-Basin skiers can eat a bag of dicks

I noticed from the website that the gullies have been closed a few days now, sometime during that big warm up, and was wondering about that. Looking like decent snow Tuesday/ Wednesday so hopefully they can open back up.

Patrol is concerned about wet slides, all the exposed rock in there. Late Thursday i saw a few small ones. It should reopen soon with the cooler temps.

Yep. Still didnt open today. Black mountain got the gangbang treatment today. 6+ on SFB and multiple others on dogshit and dogleg.
Good for them.

Still closed today too, wonder if they did have some wet slides go causing some bad conditions into some of the lines? Narrow north skied really well today with an inch and some wind even though light went out when I got to the top and you couldn’t see any definition. Tomorrow is that day of the year for front rangers to go make fun of themselves. Hmm

They look at solar incidence on their pali station, plus snow temps and flow guages. I don't know if north fork guage spiked, but Keystone Gulch did

Seems like My Chute and other inbounds areas would have the same issues. Hopefully this storm and lower temps rectifies the situation because I need me some steep skiing.

Pretty fun day. Really nice this morning then what got scraped off skied real fast and firm between the bumps until a little more snow came and filled it back in. Still no steep gullies, patrol was definitely in there all day. Lots of blasting on east wall but visibility was so in and out I didn’t have much hope for that.

Didn’t make it up until noon today, but was skiing so well. Stashes still to be had. Good to be home for the Spring.

This definitely belongs in the dicks thread. Have some major confusion here. So it costs more money for the parking pass but day rate is same and there are overall 10ish less days that paid parking is required? I didn’t do actual math on that but seems close with Xmas to new years and the weekend before Xmas this season. Also do I not qualify for a renewal rate because I got an ikon, ya know the Alterra pass from the fucking company they’re owned by? Or does that count for purchasing my pass?Thank you for being an A-Basin pass holder this season!We hope to be skiing and riding with you next season.

Sorry. Site is falling apart and I cannot format posts.

So sick of this shit honestly. But the parking pass did save me like $500 this season.

So I avoided the Basin this winter on weekends. Do you need a parking pass in order to make a parking reservation? No, right?

[possum]

No, you don’t need a pass to make rez.

And yes, that email was dumb as fuck for not clarifying if it applies to those of us who had a parking pass this season and will be buying full ikon instead of just Basin pass.

[Elkhound Odin]

I decided to buy Abasin Pass instead of Ikon this season. I was able to apply the one hundred dollar discount. I did the maths and for the fifteen or so days I ski, I am better off even paying for weekend parking. I will see if I get the offer to buy the discounted parking pass earlier than the general public offer on May 20.

Last i checked, I was like $360 up on the parking pass investment. Probably do it again. Bought Ikon pass last night. Ugh. That was a tough pill to swallow. Oh well.

Today was pretty fun. Nothing steep open anymore but plenty of super smooth creamy skiing!

Def like the idea of moving the beginners up to Sawmill Flats - that area is kind of a waste of terrain at this point.
