    anyone know what the timeline is like from "bought pass" to "got pass in the mail" these days?

    also lazily: when you show up at a resort, do you need to do anything to "redeem one of your 5 days" or do you just swipe it and go?

    COuple weeks for mailing.

    in Utah you just get on the lift anywhere, except DV you used to have to get a paper ticket but i heard they are RFID now.

    what are you doing riding lifts anyways?

    Anything would be funnier, it's dumb.

    "Fuck Trump and your Ikon Pass" would be funnier, took 3 seconds to think of it.

    It'll depend on whether that resort has yet installed the Ikon compatible card reader.

    For instance last season at Crystal we were issued a Crystal season pass and an Ikon pass. Other Ikon pass holders who visited Crystal had to get a paper ticket at the window.

    This year we're on the Ikon card equipment and only one pass... other Ikon card holders will just swipe and go.

    You don't know much about Mormons then. Evan and Hillary got more votes combined than Trump in Utah.

    I broke my toe the morning I had a hut reserved to do Fuji, classic timing! I did some shorter limp-y hikes around Kyoto + Katsuyama instead....holy humidity though! I found out too late I shoulda gone to Hakuba, taken a lift up part-way, and then hiked from hut-to-hut, it looked super rad but I was out of time and the weather looked shit for a quick mission trip up there. My toe coulda handled that I think.

    Where did you go hike?

    Ah that sucks about the toe. We hiked Yakedake outside of Matsumoto... it was about 10 miles and 4k', and it rained every freaking step, and for the 1/2 hour after the hike we waited at the bus stop lol. Still I think I like our luck better than yours...

    Nice, I was eyeing that region and similar hikes nearby, looked beautiful if it was clear. I did a lot of hikes that started above temples and shrines, ended with delicious meals, so no complaints. I could even run downhill with the broken toe a bit...first few days afterwards though sucked!

    Ikon-related news:

    Steamboat's brand new $15 million gondola broke after 2 days. The main drive shaft snapped last night. Don't make 'em like they used to.

    It was really fast, until it wasn't. It's gonna be down at least a month I think, they can't just swap out parts like that. Plus more tests and recertification. Thank god for thunderhead. Lifties better work on their lift line/corral management, shit's gonna get wedged.

    Well, to be clear - there was already an 8-person gondola there. They just put in a faster one. Until shit broke and it became a much slower one.

    I'm interested to see if they start snowcat'ing ALL the food/garbage/equipment to the upper mountain now? What a logistical shitshow that should be...

    There’s no way that could be financially viable right?
