  1. Yeah and Friday night I didn’t even get in until 2:45AM.  6am flight I’ll leave for the airport around 245-3...get there at 4am...probably be through security around 430..but the cool thing is if all goes well I’ll be landing in Denver a little after 8am mountain standard time.  In theory I could ski tomorrow but I have six ski days and like starting fresh. 

    Why would you fly that early if you’re not planning on skiing that day?

    I love the tired of this mask shit comment..lol...

    Like, I get it, everyone's tired of wearing a mask. I'm sitting in my kitchen wearing one right now because we have some contractors in our house doing some work. Those facebook comments pretty easily point out the people who don't really have any compassion for anyone besides themselves though. In the grand scheme of things, wearing a mask is not that hard of a thing to do to help out everyone around you a little bit, especially the people who can't for any reason get vaccinated yet.

    You won’t fly masked and fully vaccinated?  

    1. I'm not two weeks out from my 2nd shot, so I would not consider myself to be fully vaccinated yet.
    2. I don't live alone. I'm the only one in my household who's had their second shot. I'm not sure trials have even begun for safety/effectiveness on children under 12, so we're a long way out until everyone is fully vaccinated here. I still need to be more careful because of that.
     

    Late summer once there's more broad vaccination across the whole US population, yeah I'd consider flying somewhere and then getting tested to make sure I'm not gonna give something to the kid when I get home if there's not conclusive evidence that vaccination prevents transmission. Luckily we had a good ski season in PA this year so I don't feel like I missed too much by not getting out of the mid atlantic. Hopefully things start to chill out soon and we can all go back to having a regular ski season by next year and taking lots of trips and sharing lots of photos, videos, and stoke.

    Yup. As a reminder, got denied of my hard earned priority boarding yesterday, and was cattled in row by row to 100% capacity.

    cool, i didn't know the social scene in downtown SLC had anything to do with the way airlines were handling this. one of many reasons i'm choosing not to fly right now.

    I had my second Pfizer last Friday and has little no to side effects. I did drink that same night and woke up with a headache so it's hard to tell what the headache was from. Perhaps I was fatigued Saturday but again hard to tell if it was from staying out late or from the second shot.

    Either way, the headache and fatigue were minimal. Happy to be fully vaccinated. 

    i purposely avoided alcohol for a few days before and after so i didn't confuse symptoms hah. i did go for a 10 mile mtb ride right after getting my 2nd shot and probably didn't drink enough water, so slight headache definitely could have been from that.

    we found the downtown to be devoid of life, with hardly any people, empty trams, just rare cars traveling on the rectangular grid of 3-4 lane one way streets. Yeah, there are cafes, bars and eateries, but sometimes you are not even allowed to stay in the cafe after ordering and get ejected right back into the empty streets, so overall it was quite a disappointment. It seems like a very boring place

    you're aware that we're still in the middle of a global pandemic with all sorts of restrictions in place, right?

    0 side effects so far after both shots. That makes me nervous.

    I didn't have much more than a headache and some general overall achy-ness, kinda like i had a pretty good crash skiing, all over slight muscle soreness kinda thing. I was fully expecting to be knocked out for a day or so. 🤷‍♂️

    So close and the weather can be drastically different too.

    What's up with the whole interconnect deal. Is that happening?

    I haven't heard anything serious about it in years. Given that Canyons is now Vail, and Brighton and Soli are very much not Vail, I doubt it's going anywhere any time soon.

    Concur on the views from Brighton. From solitude I belive you're looking out at the back side of PC / DV...amazing how close they actually are. You'll never know by driving it. Here's a one of my favorite ski trip pics ever that I took from Brighton that I often use as my phone wallpaper.

    go out in the summer and drive over guardsman pass. gives you a very good idea of how close soli/brighton actually are to PC and DV.

    $30.00 to skin up for one run? Didn't see anything about the money going to charity.

    I don't see anything about being limited to one run. Looks like the event is 3 hours, should be able to get at least 3 laps in pretty easily in that time.

    haha! totally agree.

     

    I'm signed up too. i hope they realize there's interest in ski touring and possibly consider it for next year. (fingers crossed).

     

    The few times I go to camelback, I only go there because of their loose uphill policy.

    Yeah, doing something similar to hunter where you're allowed to go uphill before the resort starts spinning the lifts would be cool. Even cooler if there wasn't an upcharge as long as you have a valid pass/ticket. I do miss the days of Blue's nonexistent uphill policy where ski patrol would usually just look at you very confused, or you could plead ignorance at worst.

    I think Bear really upped their game this year. 

    in regards to their park setup? caveat: i was only there once this year. that said, it was like i was skiing in a time warp. seemed like nothing changed since the days of the showdown weeknight comp series. shoulder high lips onto urban-style down rails will never die at bear, apparently.

    per us', the Blue Mountain site is whack. Here's the better link about the "Earn Your Turns" event.

    https://www.skibluemt.com/upcoming-events/spring-back-at-blue/

    Yup, i expect nothing else. Cool that they're doing it, would be cooler if as a season pass holder you didn't have to pay, but such is life. Hopefully patrollers are getting that money. There's like 3 different descriptions of the event, depending on where you're looking, and the registration link as of yesterday didn't work in Chrome, but did work in Chrome Canary (the Chrome beta channel) and Safari. Again, no surprises here. I'm signed up. Couldn't care less about the run thing, but I'll be there for some uphilling with skis and a beer or two.

    Lots of complaining on 6abc’s fb post about Rutgers requiring a vaccine for students attending the fall semester. 
     

    some saying it’s “illegal” as well as a few comparing it to Nazi Germany..... what a time to be alive 

    one would think people concerned about attending college would be at least slightly above average intelligence, but i guess not always the case

    Everyone is getting all worked up about this company coming in and dumping some cash on both CB and Blue. The odds of anything changing from a high up level is extremely slim. Saying that "This company owns both Blue and Camelback" is like saying a credit union owns both my car and the guy's down the block. Technically true but it doesn't matter to the operation of either vehicle. 

    Yup. I fully expect basically nothing to change. But if it does, I don't see much of it being a direct benefit the PASR crowd, is what I was getting at. Probably speaking too broadly here, but I don't think many of us really care about hotels or fancy lodges or water parks etc at our local hill.
