I only go on one ski trip per year and want to ski in the perder. This is great advice!!!

Which part shouldn't I do - wear a helmet on a plane, rent skis & boots, or all of the above?

Thanks! I was planning on going to Blue Saturday, will let you know.

Idk.. thanks for the invitation, was thinking Copper or Keystone, somewhere with Blue groomers.

Seriously considering ditching Stowe and making a yolo trip out west next week. Frontier yo. Just have to figure out how the hell to fly with ski gear (???). Like do I pack my clothes in the ski bag so I dont have to check 2 bags? Where does the helmet go? Going to Buckmans later to look @ ski bags.

Last year at Elk I got a squall at 3 pm and it was one of the best times I ever had skiing.

Ok, if I can find him. It might be hard when everyone's wearing identical black garbage bags.

OK.

Wow, that is exactly something I would do. I get annoyed when the lift stops for 15 seconds, can't imagine being trapped for 2.5 hours. No need for me to be careful at Stowe. There's an open hotel reservation for anyone who wants to borrow my license - as long as they look like me, have a similar birthday (or same birthday), enjoy skiing in slop, and don't have a job.

Ok. I always strive to ensure thread integrity and on topic discussions.

For reference I put an X next to each day that I intended to ski, and did not put an X next to days that I did not intend to ski.

Omg I'm laughing so hard at that. You posted the same picture last year of the dude drinking syrup. That was me on powder day, then I got first in line and my card wouldn't work, so my rapid breakfast consumption was all for nothing.

Thanks for your optimism. Steeze said I'm not a gaper anymore so I won't be skiing into the gondola. I'll have to eat breakfast really fast though, since they serve a late breakfast, to get first chair for the rain, downpours, tsunamis, and 100% icy conditions.

Just looked at your forecast for Jackson Hole. That's how my forecast for Vermont looked just a few days ago.

That sounds horrible. No thanks. How do you and Atomic manage to get epic pow days every time you go on a trip??

I don't hope for much, just for 1-2 feet of powder every day while on a ski trip. RIP Stowe trip 2019.

Nah weather.com says rain 3 days in a row, the same 3 days I intended to ski. So no epic conditions like I got last year.

Well this is shit for my Stowe trip next week. Might not even go. Just kidding hotel is nonrefundable. Should have just gone out west.

Malvern reporting in. Turned to snow about 15 minutes ago but not sticking at this time.

Oops meant Riley Reed, a radio personality dude. Apparently others were just as confused on Camelback's Facebook page.

Oops it's Thursday according to Blue's Facebook. Just saw National Hot Cocoa Day and a picture of hot cocoa, didn't read the post.

You're welcome and anytime. Just found out from Blue's Facebook post. That's why I follow ski resorts on Facebook, otherwise I wouldn't have found out that Riley Reid is coming to Camelback.

Be sure to get a hot cocoa. Today is National Hot Cocoa Day.

I had to clean pickle smear off my mirror this morning at the Allentown rest stop, so I've already paid for this blunder.

You guys were right. Just wanted to shop around first. Tune ups aren't cheap yanno.
