It's time. Actually it's beyond fucking time. It's already snowed two or three times in Tahoe. Many resorts are blowing snow, hoping to get this season in gear, as Ma Nature is still on vacay. Powdork already has 6 days of skiing in for the season, including at least one resort day. Then there's the thing that the resort formerly known as S--- Fucking Valley USA and Schralpine Ghettos opens their reservation system today for parking your hooptie on weekends and holidays...reserve now for best pricing.
How the fuck did we get here? We've got that mega pass that lets us ski at 99 different resorts scattered over 14 continents...but skiing or riding on a weekend at your home mountain? Fuhgettaboutit, unless you're ready to give up lunch every Tuesday to battle the bots for a free reservation. Or you want to stack up Southwest points by reserving now, prices starting at only $39.99.
To the idiots from Interstate Parking that came up with the idea that reserved parking is the solution to all ski resort problems, may the fleas of 1000 camels infest your armpits. For those of us that will become backcountry skiers on weekends, you can bet that some lobbyist for Interstate is already convincing CalTrans and USFS that they can solve the parking issues at your favorite parking spots. It will start with Pole Creek and Jakes in the winter and spread to Donkeytown in the summer.
Whatever...let's hope we have not jinxed this winter by starting a new thread far too late. It's almost time to go skiing and riding...unless you are Powdork.
Cheers to RaccoonFace and Lepistoir for setting up previous threads. I bow to your greatness.
