WJW, maybe I should delay buying a Blue Mountain pass since I'm leaning towards an Epic Pass anyway. Imagine, skiing Camelback AND JFBB....

Correct. But I got free shipping so I'll probably have to wait 9-15 days

VIP line was good when they filled the lifts to capacity. As a single I could board a lift with minimal waiting regardless of how long the main line was. Now it's just another line though if you get a decent worker they'll let more than 1 VIP groups board at a time.

Oh come on, that's not far! We biked that many miles around Blue Mountain the True Mountain.

Cant wait for sum Biden bux. I need some new skis, a Blue season pass, maybe an Epic pass...

They handled icy conditions very well. Where I'd be hesitant on the RTMs, I just ripped down the ice on the Ripsticks. Yes, I encountered many slick spots at each mountain due to freeze/thaw

Will do it tonight. This is grate!

I'm not sure I'm physically capable of skiing moguls properly 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess that means I can't ski

That's the game plan. I tried local shops for the skis including True Blue but no one has them, so online for the skis it is.

You should see me ski moguls. I cant turn for the life o me so I cut across and turn reluctantly hoping I dont fuck up an ACL or something

I saw your post and then edited mine. Agree 100% about bindings, not something I want to mess with

Thanks, might do that since Enjoralas found me the skis without bindings for $520. The other deal online is $750 with bindings and free mount but that's $230 extra. @Justo8484 Excellent advice, I'd rather have Blue mount the bindings for me. Thanks

I'm inclined to get the 2021's since that's what I demoed and they're stiffer

Called all local ski shops for Elan Ripstick 96, 180/181 and nothing Found this deal online - $750 grand total with Marker Griffon 13 bindings mounted. https://www.aspenskiandboard.com/collections/ski-packages/products/ripstick-96-mens-ski-package?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv5mjx6ah7wIVgtrICh1A8wYeEAAYASAAEgInD_D_BwE Any reason I shouldn't click purchase?? Would you trust an online shop to mount bindings??

WJW you were doing the Pocono Shuffle but that's grate skiing

Wrong. I only rant about annoying things like GradeAunderA on YouTube. Like gift cards and public bathrooms

Correct. Backpack, suitcase, laptop, and whatever else.

I'm fine traveling, as I've probably flown over 30 times now. I have no patience for annoying thingz.

I returned my rental car and dragged my 45 lb. ski bag and 25 lb. carry on (both with wheels) to an elevator up to the terminal... which was fine. But upon arrival at the check in area, there's Delta, Delta, Delta, Alaskan... no American Airlines check in. No signs for other airlines' check ins either. WTF. So I walk to baggage claim and find an information kiosk and she says to drag my bags up an escalator to American. OK So there's American's check in area. The only problem is... the touch screens to check in are slow as molasses!! I push a button, wait 20 seconds... push another useless button, wait 20 seconds... and so on. Is the software running on 16 MB of RAM and DOS 3.0? Finally after what seemed like an eternity I got my bag ticket. Back down the escalator and to security line. Well the line's moving, but only one problem about the queue set up: If this is annoying to look at, it was much more annoying to walk through. Like a stupid pointless maze that just keeps turning and turning and turning and turning. Honestly, really, does it need to be that long if there isn't a lot of people??? I guess the number of people fluctuates throughout the day and it would be too much work for security to constantly rearrange the queue. But honestly, I got pretty dizzy. Now we get to the bins, and boy is it stupid. I put my bags in the 2 red squares. But then nothing else is opening up so I put my shoes etc. in the 2 orange squares: Then I have Karen whining, "Salty, you already took up the red squares at #5. Why are you taking up the orange squares at #4?" I didn't respond and made the "I don't fucking know what's going on I just want to get out of here" face and hand gestures. Apparently the system takes bins at different speeds depending on what one you got stuck with, and I wasn't waiting for my 2 bins above the red squares to open up. Hell no. Then my bags don't come out together: one here, then a rando's, another rando's, oh there's another of mine, then wait, wait, wait, wait, nope not mine. Ok finally there it is. 15 minutes later. Ok finally I can go to the gate. Almost done. But wait. I'm in concourse B. Instead of being well designed layout like most airports: SLC is like this: So you walk, and you walk, and walk. Then after concourse A there's a long escalator down, then a long hall with a few conveyer belts, but the damn sign still says "7 minute walk to concourse B". Then walk, walk, up another escalator, and finally at concourse B. 20 minutes later. Finally, I get to my gate, and there's a gate change... but it's only 1 gate down so I'm happy 😎 Had a delicious buffalo chicken wrap and then another one since it was delish

@GrilledSteezeSandwich About SLC...dragging heavy shit through a terminal for 20 minutes is not the same as biking by any means. I want to get thru security, get to my damn gate and be done. Does SLC suck? Yes. Will I still fly there? Yes. Here's a comment from Reddit 2 months ago: "The walk to the B terminal is completely unacceptable, and takes legitimately 20 minutes for a healthy adult. Even if it’s temporary, it’s not cool for a new airport to take longer in terms of walking than the old one. If I’m traveling with my 3 year old out of terminal B, it could be a 45 minute walk, which is totally ridiculous."

Maybe, but it'll be nothing but mashed pertaters

💁‍♂️ Thought it was this one. They look different on my laptop

Nope, just tired and had to unpack a lot of junk

TFTI, maybe next time 💇‍♂️

Were both doubles spinning but no loading on Burma despite 3 workers sitting in the shack, and 100+ people in line? @enjoralas
