Should we go next week? Do we want to risk pushing to the weekend of 3-29/30?

Saw that yesterday. Guessing they think they will close Sunday

This plus Buddy passes from this year and the free first timer thing expire at the end of this season (or earlier, i think, for the lesson thing) so maybe she was talking about that too

Don't you put that evil on Knoebels

Probably coming out this weekend, still getting over the end of trip illness, but feeling about 80% so that should also improve rapidly. I really should try to spend at least one of the days up in Tannersville if I ski both days . . . .

No, flew into Hayden, less than 30 min drive and we were gonna be out in town getting groceries anyway. The bag got left in Denver but SW put it on the next plane. Wasn't going to rent a car since the bus and condo shuttles are so good there, but for 5 of us to get round trip airport shuttle was gonna be $585 plus tips to the drivers/bag slingers, and the car was $640 all in, so made sense. If just Pops and I, we would have gotten a shuttle from the airport, and then I would have had them deliver them

Southwest lost my skis in Denver en route to Steamboat. Well, not lost them, they just didn't make the connection, and when I checked with the service desk they looked it up and knew right where they were, so it was no big deal. I was worried for a minute because I left everyone else to get bags while I got the rental car, and then went out to check out the rental car since they didn't have my car type and I had to make sure it was big enough, and while I was doing that they all came out with all the bags except the skis, so for a bit no one was watching for them. Was worried someone walked off with my bag since there was another double bag left behind. Was actually relieved to find out they never made the plane. There was another flight 4 hours later and they offered to deliver them to the condo, but since we had the rental car I drove back out to pick them up for a $250 voucher. Figured might as well.

You and Pops can hang out in the lot. Or at the bar up top, I'll let you use my mug. He fell out in CO and hurt his knee. Urgent care out there said nothing broken nothing torn, but he's going tomorrow to have it checked out.

Bet I could cook on it.

Will be up Saturday because Grayson has WAC, but not skiing. Probably be in the Last Run Lounge all morning. 🤣 Sunday 630 am flight.

Camelback perks include 5 buddy passes, no money off, but like Blue if they do something like that they may only send it to their current passholders, it's only $50 off for renewing. Other perks at Camelback that folks may or may not use, so value will vary, are 4 snowtubing tickets, a season pass for the outdoor waterpark in the summer, and 4 tickets to each of the Mountain Coaster, Sunbowl tubing and the 1000 ft zipline in the green season. $25 day tickets for passholder and up to 3 guests at the indoor waterpark is actually a decent perk, that sucker is expensive. Might do a morning ski up there on our passes followed by an afternoon in the waterpark next month.

Camelback lowered their child pass age to 9 to match Blue so no incentive to even think about them next season. With 5 buddy passes there each, peak to peak for Pops and I could make sense if we get the boys up there in March and they love it, but, eh. Though it would be nice if Blue introduced a youth anytime pass like Camelback has.

I knowbthey don't matter to most, but at caveat is thst the perks aren't available until the pass is paid off in October, which means no free tix for the summer stuff. I'll use mine on the boys, so it's worth dropping the cash up front

Even Walter (older) enjoys it once he's out there. It's the getting to the part on the snow that's just a heaping helping of bullshit. I'm tired of being in such a bad mood when I'm headed out to do something I love. Maybe a year missing out will change his attitude. But yes, Grayson does seem to be more into it, and even though he also doesn't like getting up early (or going to bed on time the night before which would make all the difference) he cooperates at least. I really wish the student pass would qualify for the afternoon Adventure Camp, that would be the no brainer solution for us, the wife could bring them up and drop them to me when I'm done in the morning.

Maybe we'll get an email with the offer. I'm not sure if anything was posted their website about it, but they sent emails iirc. I haven't seen any emails today about passes being on sale yet
