That's what they've said from the beginning. How feasible that is, or whether someone is actually willing to do it is an entirely different story.

We just had the one who did everyone's hair for our wedding come to our house and cut our hair outside in our backyard. Everyone wore masks still.

Yup, no one's fault but my own that I still have stuff at my parents house and the in-laws house.

Yeah I think you can comfortably get away with riding a mtb in colder temps than a road bike. I did a ~15 mile road ride last friday morning up and back to AC to go surf and wore mittens even though it was only in the high 40s when I left the house. On the mtb I'd still be wearing my regular thin gloves for those same temps.

I want to ski as much as anybody, but maybe it's time to invest in some new hobbies? Coincidentally, if it's too warm to make snow, that usually means it's pretty much perfect weather for riding bikes. I dread the offseason much less since I got into mountain biking. Also I still need to mount up my new skis, and I have winter stuff spread across 3 different houses still. I guess I should get my act together in the event that it actually starts to get and stay cold.

to add to what jlaw said... isn't snowbasin ikonic? you should definitely get up there too, since it sounds like you'll have a car. basin is kinda like a mini snowbird to me. I guess you won't really get the full benefit of the super nice facilities like gold plated toilets and whatnot, but you can ski 90% of the mountain off of the two gondolas, there's a lot of fun groomers, and some stuff that would be a good intro to skiing off trail for you.

Yeah, I'll fly out of Newark if the time + money equation comes out ahead of philly based on better flight itinerary, but if it's the same basic itinerary to save $100 on the flight alone, probably not. DV is intermediate groomer heaven. You'll have a blast there. As others have said though, Alta is a lot more challenging of a mountain. I haven't skied there much, but I don't remember much in the way of groomers compared to DV, PC, or Canyons. Not on the lifts, but as far as I understand it, you can hike or cut over from snowboard and ride down Alta on a board.

layover in tampa is not worth saving $80 over. american is usually not the cheapest, but their flights out of philly to SLC are usually at times. I'm sure flight schedules are all sorts of wacky right now, but their ~6:30pm out of philly would get you into SLC a little before 10pm mountain time, so you could essentially save one vacation day that you would have otherwise used for traveling. then do redeye on the way back if you're really trying to milk it. i have about $350 in southwest credit, not sure what i'm going to do with it yet. maybe we get lucky and one/all the vaccines pan out sooner rather than later and we return to pseudo normalcy by mid ski season and i'll use it for a late season trip somewhere. who knows?

sounds like a great case for universal publicly funded healthcare

I picked up some black diamond mittens for stupid cheap. Last year's colorway saved me about $50! Mine have a more reddish brown than these.

what kind of helmet do you have @NMSKI? goggles can fog for a number of different reasons, but having a helmet and goggles that fit well together, with vents in the helmet that can force air down into the top of the goggles definitely helps. I know oakley doesn't make them anymore, but I've never had my crowbars fog up on me aside from the lens that I cracked, or suuuuper warm/wet days. No issues with a buff tucked up under the goggles on normal days.

i rode a gondola in quito, ecuador that is part of their public transit system. looks essentially the same as the k1 at killy, but it was designed with every intention of people riding down as well as up. used it for a day of mountain biking, where the guide i was riding with worked with a local shop to get the city to install bike racks on a few of the cabins so locals could use it for DH laps. place was awesome, it gave you an almost 3k ft descent and topped out close to 13k feet above sea level.

Pretty sure if your merry go round is spinning at a constant rate, your velocity at the outside would be higher than the inside. Changing where your cable is in relation to the center of the circle, while maintaining the same linear cable speed, would just change how fast the wheel rotates, not how fast the chair on the cable is actually moving. Someone feel free to correct me on that, been a long time since my last physics class.

how high speed are we talkin here? high speed in the loading zone + gapers = carnage. hope they got a cam pointed at that one!

we have that book! clearly that's a picture from camelback. blue mountain skiers have enough sense to wear helmets and not ski in jeans.

no one who can ski during the day prefers to ski at night. let's all just stop kidding ourselves

can't drink all day if you don't start first thing in the morning

Blue used to have a T bar. Also, I hope it's stupidly cold this winter. Then everyone will want to keep their faces covered anyway.

Not quite the same scenario, but there's a lift at canyons that essentially connects two areas of the mountain, where you can take the lift in both directions. Also rode one in chamonix that just took you back and forth between two different ski areas; nothing under the lift was actually even in bounds at all.

That's a really interesting analogy, which I think is pretty appropriate. However, using that same line of thinking, it'd be like the president just not wearing a raincoat because he doesn't think the rain will actually fall on him and he'll never get wet. Then he gets wet, and his cotton candy looking hair starts to disintegrate.

You’re the first person I’ve seen bring this up but ya know what? I think you might be on to something here. Fake his death, move out of the country to somewhere he can’t be extradited, then surprise! He’s actually still alive! Then he can continue trying to hog the spotlight while claiming he knew it wouldn’t be a fair election, the deep state was out to get him, etc, get a show on OAN or some Russian propaganda network and live out the rest of his life yelling at clouds.

was in florida in february. daughter liked it (mostly because seashells and a waterslide), but florida is dumb. i could care less if i ever go back to that state. the seafood wasn't even that good.
