Correct. I had free parking on a weeknight, I guess they charge depending on day of week and time 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are cases of large payouts due to ski resort accidents. I found a case of a $25 million payout from a snowtubing incident.

Insurance will probably pay, but the hit on reputation might mean they wont be charging $100+ to ski and $10-$40 to park next season... this story is going to spread like wildfire very soon

Correct but the money might go to constant care of the victims for the rest of their lives in nursing homes (based on unknown severity of issues, though anything spinal typically means great loss of life quality). I wouldn't ever want to exchange being able to function for any amount of money

Not good. This will probably be on the national news in the next few days https://www.google.com/amp/s/unofficialnetworks.com/2021/03/22/children-and-father-seriously-injured-in-chairlift-detachment-at-camelback-mountain/amp/

I thought you said "accidents happen"... if this happened at Blue would you be as critical?? Regardless it behooves us all to spread the word on this for our own safety, though I'll continue to ride detachable lifts anywhere without worrying about it

Camelback certainly isnt going to alert the media. Why would they? This is a PR nightmare as it's extremely uncommon for a chairlift to fall off. I've never heard of it until Steeze posted some examples. The media probably doesnt even know about it unless they heard it on the Monroe Cty EMS like BenM, or if a witness or victim contacted them. Unless the police get involved, then perhaps the media would be made aware?

Chair lift is most likely the safest mode of transportation we all take on a regular basis. "According to statistics compiled by the National Ski Areas Association, a passenger is five times more likely to die riding in an elevator than on a ski lift and eight times more likely to die in a car."

I rode Sullivan Lift several times on Tuesday. It was running but kept stopping for no apparent reason, so I got fed up and moved to Stevenson which didn't stop. I don't know much about chair lifts and maintenance required, but this appears highly irresponsible. WTF?

That's what I did... chain hotels in Heber City/Midvale/Ogden with nice rooms and reasonable prices. Park City has lodging options nearby, but I don't think Brighton/Solitude or Snowbasin really have much of anything around them.

Correct, I think we skied Razor's at the start?

Today was amazing, skied for 2.5 hours and did some runs with @enjoralas, @Schif & @pops. All the runs were fun, felt good on my new skiz thru the sugar on Sidewinder and Main Street. Only got yelled at one time by @AtomicSkier for inadvertently putting the bar down on the chair he was going to sit on - was too fast trying to get on and didnt mean to do that 🤷🏻‍♂️ Said sorry about 2 or 3 times and fortunately got the bar up before I really FUBAR'ed the line. Whoops! Also scratched my 1 yr old goggles which is terrible and the toothpaste method did nothing - I think it made it worse than before. Ice is nice JADIP, planning for a long day at Blue tomorrow from 7:15 to 4:30 probably. WTGAI

Are whirlybirds fun? Think I'd get dizzy. I hate spinning rides at parks, would rather go super fast on steep steep drops like rolly coasters

Idk, I don't go out much

I had but forgot that they're grate. My favorite bagels are the packaged ones from Hannaford Supermarket, Lake Placid.

I brought 2 packs of blueberry bagels last year but no one ate them 🤷🏻‍♂️ But since then I've eaten 1 blueberry bagel every morning for a full year now. Great success

I can bring 3 fruit by the foots from an open box. Or anything else that anyone would like me to bring 🤷🏻‍♂️

And maybe if I get the Epic pass it'll have a buddy pass and we can go to Hakuba Iwatake, Jiigatake, and Kashimayari in Japan with Matt Edge. I wonder if Matt Edge speaks Japanese??

Damn, that's dedication. There is a 0% chance I would ever remotely consider skiing on a day like today. WTGAI

I need more time on my new Ripsticks, I might only get 4 more days (which is 6 hours total) at Blue Mountain the True Mountain 😱

Maybe we can do an April PASR day at the shopping center ski hill in Jersey

Not yet, I'll probably wait until 3/31 at 11:59 pm

I'm leaning towards Epic for the 1st time though also considering going to Jackson Hole with @GrilledSteezeSandwich so I don't know. We'll see what Epic says on Mar. 23. BB closing earlier than in the past is not a factor in my decision

@skiincy Doggy daycare talk @Kyle Bring your doggy, he/she would love to meet Wally.

TFTI. I at least want to keep the bases in good shape. Do you wax your's at the end of each season?
