I saw that on a Facebook group.
The ads on the page make me think that pop up ads are going to start
besides live2skiski2comparepasses, who actually remembers how much a pass cost?The field is a flat $350 but if you got the full pass, it could have been over the $350.
the guy who made it graduated college in 2000 and is a financial analyst. who knows. Maybe he’ll start an online forum for skiers next.
You can change the pass price. I have no idea what I paid last year, it was not a lot but more than $350.

Ski Essentials out of Stowe. They were great to deal with over the phone and seemed to have really knowledgeable xc reps to get me into a decent intro package.
Metal edges? Nordic touring set up if you will?

Felt like skiing in VT without the drive, dam fun morning. Might try and make it back Wednesday morning before the rain.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the duke PT requires you to remove part of the toe piece to use it in uphill mode, ya? If that’s a concern, shifts are the way to go. I have pivots on all the things, so CAST was my preferred route, with dynafit speed radical toes. I have to swap toes for the up vs down, but if you if you’re doing inbounds stuff with the ski 90%+ of the time and are strong enough to push a pivot 15 DIN-wise, it’s a great option. I can bring em to blue this weekend if you wanna check em out.

Getting some new Blizzak WS90s put on my AWD 2021 Subaru Forester Sport in time for the skison. Amazing I found a tire place willing to house the tires I am not using off season - seems like nobody does that anymore.
Gonna be in better shape than ever before to ski some powder days this year.
Great news, congratulations on the sweet ride! Maybe we can carpool to some Epic resorts.

Back at it.
Skin lap at Stratton on the way to Jackson NH, skied almost top to bottom with a little fast grass thrown in for fun. Made it to Tuckermans Saturday morning. The hike up was mud, rocks, slush and snow, we did skin a bit towards the top.
Boot pack up right, they got about 6” of snow on Thursday night and we had first tracks in right. Really heavy cream cheese snow.
Boot up left
En-root to Hillmans.
We skied down Hillmans and to rope 7, then back to hiking on the way out. In total it was 8.2 miles,4100’ of vert, 7.5 hours, 4 beers, 2 liters of water and countless snacks. All in all a great day in the mountains. I suck at taking pictures so this is the best I have. After a few more beers and snacks in the lot we were on the road to Killington for the night and gondola laps on Sunday. They reported 30ish trails and the skiing was damn fun. Great way to end April skiing.
On to May!

If I remember correctly Paradise usually melts pretty quick, going to be a mud skin for sure. Take a loot at the mountain cameras. Looks like Main would be the logical trail at this point.

I took another pair out of the press Saturday morning, and finished them up Saturday afternoon, they are getting a tune now. I’ll have the new pair at Blue on Saturday, this will be S2P2. Yes, they do have a picture of my son shirtless on the tip, there may also be a Waldo hidden in there somewhere and perhaps a rocket if you look hard enough.
In other news, I remounted S2P1 (the last pair) with a pair of Look px’s. If I did my math correctly, they should be adjustable from a ~25.5 to ~28.5 boot size, they will be available for anyone that wants to take a few runs on them, just find me.

All the times i've skied at basin i don't think i've ever skied moonshine bowl. Whenever I'm over on the strawberry side of the mountain I usually end up traversing out into sisters or around the back of demoisy to get into middle bowl. I believe WFO is where @toast21602 had one of the best crashes I've ever seen and then affectionately named that zone "Sticky Ditch". A few inches of fresh snow followed by 40° and sunny makes your skis stop pretty quick...
Bullshit, I have pictures of @snorovr upside down in a bush in Moonshine Bowl, and I know you were there. Sun King is "Sticky Ditch" then you are stuck in the hell hole that is Gordons Gully.
Basin moves people, I dont remember lift lines ever really being a thing there even on holiday weekends.

Skied the first hour before work with [mention]Benm [/mention]and the snow sucked. Frozen solid even though it said 35° at 9. Grooming was spicy with lots of dips from melting. Nice to chat with [mention]Kyle [/mention]in the lot before leaving too.
Saw a phone from the lift and grabbed it on the way down sidewinder. Still had battery left and one of the phone numbers I could see on the Lock Screen was his moms. She wasn’t happy he lost it last night and couldn’t find it. He’s in south Jerz so I mailed it and they’re quite happy.
I’ll be back tonight with the fam and hoping for softer conditions.So two days in one! Dont forget to update your stats!

Besides traversing please fill me in on how it skis better?
It is not as scraped off and the bumps that do form are spaced regularly and are not square. Id be willing to bet a lot of money to anyone on this site that you can go to Alta and have wonderful conditions that are not scraped off and once it gets bumped up, the bumps are still fun to ski. Same day you could pole over to Snowbird and it will be scraped off and the bumps will ski totally different. Literally the only difference is snowboarders. Ill wait for anyone to prove me wrong.

No hate to anyone who snowboards but snowboarding is the dumbest form of transportation in the history of transportation. Ski a skiers only mountain and you will figure it out, it will ski 100x better than any mountain that allows snowboarders.

DV is super easy to get to if youre staying in PC, unsure if thats worth the extra $102. If youre looking at a map it looks easy to get from PC to BCC, but Guardsman Pass is closed in the winter, you need to go out 80 to SLC then up BCC. Keep that in mind, its about an hour drive if its dry. BCC could also be a traffic nigh mare, 100% go to Brighton as I think you would enjoy it but also watch the forecast.

Brighton is recommending skiing with a beacon, shovel and probe in bounds today.

Damn good trip, weather was perfect. My face is still sunburnt from all of the light reflection off of the snow. I have some GoPro footage that Ill try and throw together, we shall see how that works out. I think Jeff nailed the TR pretty well so I dont really have much to add. Pumped to get back up there again next year!
