Do they groom the trails in Jackson Hole? I'm not used to skiing trails that aren't groomed. Rutland, but one night I stayed at the Mountain Inn nearby because of a snow storm. The Mountain Inn is very affordable at $100 a night or something and was a really nice hotel for the price. The coffee machine in my room wouldn't work, and the staff was kind enough to bring me a functional coffee maker. The only downside was my car got stuck in the parking lot after the snowstorm due to the abysmal stock Hankook tires that came with my car. I upgraded to much better tires afterwards, so now I'll be able to traverse the snow-covered terrain of Vermont with ease.

Theres a distinct possibility I will be there Thursday night.

I went 3 days in a row and parked at Snowshed each day. I was a gaper back then and liked to warm up on the easy hills first before venturing out into the vast mountain. Now that I can ski like a boss I will park at either Rams or K1. I think I'll hit Killington one day this year after Stowe.
-
I'm surprised an expert like you would park at Ramshead. Isn't that for n00bs? Killington was my first real mountain and I absolutely loved it. One of the best weeks of my life. I was amazed that Great Eastern is over 3 miles long and took 11 minutes to get down. It's fun just taking random trails and not knowing where you're going to end up.

I always park at Snowshed. Snowshed is the coolest place to park.

Thanks. I already bookmarked this thread so I have an explanation when I get yelled at by toast for the same thing.
-
Oh ok. I see many threads about serious non-skiing related topics, such as TP4.

Jackson Hole stoke thread...2015-16!!!

That Corbets run looks easy. All you need is a GoPro to make a video like that and I already have one. Plus I can get down Marjies and even Cliffhanger now, which is a double black diamond, and that's basically the same thing. -
Here's an actual post on FB just now.

Do you. Can you provide more context? Did you see Star Wars yet?

Metal and classic rock, with an occasional random pop song mixed in. This weekend I tested wireless bluetooth chips in my helmet. One of the best purchases I've ever made. I can't stand bluetooth earbuds digging into my ears with the helmet on, and they last 10 hours. Plus they're not noise cancelling like many bluetooth earbuds so I can hear around me while bombing Marjies.
-
I have a pocket on my jacket which is convenient for taking my phone out to change the song. Looked for it a few times from the lift but it's a goner. Forgot about it after 2 minutes . Yes I will buy my next pass online.

The ironic part is the first paragraph of this TR is just a straight-up factual report of my day at CB.
-
I meant I'm done clowning around. It's been fun but obviously no one thinks it's funny except me. So I'll only engage in serious ski related discussions from now on.
-
Lol ok I'm done.
-
Ok...? Any reason?
-
Sorry, I cannot comply with these demands because I'm bankrupt after losing my gift card. CB is truly the true mountain because they are working hard to get the mountain open at 100 percent. See evidence below.

I lost my $5 gift card today on the Sullivan lift... it's a damn shame. My legal counsel reviewed your erroneous claim and found no evidence of copyright infringement on the previous thread. If you can provide empirical evidence of your claim on behalf of GSS we may take your claim into consideration for further review.

No thanks, I'm not one of those frat bros. No I thought Shadows is???
-
Anymore I've generally had my fill after 4 hours. I still enjoy skiing a lot, but the newness has kinda worn off. But I know what you mean, some days you just want to keep going even after close. That's how I was on Wednesday at Blue.
-
Too bad I didn't have the opportunity to practice bumps...
-
Phase 2 already? I'm surprised that you guys often quote previous posts with large pictures. Doesn't that make the thread cumbersome to scroll through?
-
Copyright violation! Where's Tarponhead???
-
Naaaaww.
-
Lol, no bumps, no terrain park (not that I do that anyway). Same runs as yesterday. It was fun and not too crowded. I left around 11:30 after starting to get bored. I think my days of skiing open to close are over.
