  1. I’m at 29, excluding backcountry adventures. I’ve had mostly the Epic and Ikon pass, so most of my mountain experience is with those. And, since I lived in Colorado .. I’ve hit up a lot of the Colorado mountains but my rankings is a mix of experience, crowds, distance, etc. I kind of love the ability to hop around to different resorts in places like Colorado and Utah. I’m a grad student for about 1 more week and was able to snag a student discount Ikon pass. Woot woot. So, ironically, I made a rough ski plan. Before I switch to Epic again, I want to hit up some of the other Ikon resorts. I plan to take 2’ish road trips, fly 1-2x to Colorado/Utah, and make 1 trip to somewhere new. ROAD TRIP to NEW resorts in 20/21 (if skiing is a thing) I want to hit the top 3 at least 1. Windham 2. Killington 3. Stratton 4. Loon 5. Sunday River 6.

  2. so by john deer logic ... it's not .. how fast you ski. it's how well you ski fast.
  3. @GrilledSteezeSandwich At my old house, it was about $10k for a concrete patio slab out back + 2-3 car driveway (1 driveway wide) but it was a couple years ago in Denver. Do we have any concrete or stone companies in this group? I need my flagstone walkway reset (last time it's was done was probably like 1920...) + I need steps built from my front down down to my alley way. I hired a local company to do it but it was the worst construction job I've ever seen. They ended up taking it out and refunding my money. I'm hesitant to hire anyone who isn't a solid referral now.
  4. you think he would ski Mt Bleu in Pennsylvania after all those gnarly lines?
  5. I'm a fan of this series. I posted it on Random Thought Thread a couple days ago. The only downside is it makes me want to be on mountains.. Comparing the recent videos to the first 10, the sound, picture quality, and drone footage really improved.
  6. Did you all see that there's a lawsuit for Vail/Epic refusing a refund. I see both sides but it'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. https://www.law360.com/classaction/articles/1263013/vail-resorts-sued-over-ski-fees-during-covid-19 Well, today, Ikon sent an email and shifted their marketing campaigns. I get it. Everyone is hyper communicating but I wish they thought through the communication. There's no email personalization like a simple name or greeting in the line. Would be cool to have personalization tied to my ski stats and worked it into the email copy. There's no link to sign up or to be reminded in the future. There's no FAQ linked to it. For examples, Pass insurance won't cover COVID-19 closures so they don't address what they would do if there's no season. They really only mention a payment plan. Would they offer the discount to people who already paid for their pass? There's so many unknowns, I get it. But, I wish these blanket emails were crafty more thoughtfully. Here's the copy for anyone interested.
  7. woot woot!! I love before and afters of pressure washing. This is my back deck. It's now painted with Sherwin Williams SuperDeck Exterior (deck & dock). I'm hoping to not pressure wash and scrub for a long time....
  8. I was at the Wissahickon ski club in Conshy back in December 2017. Didn't ski, but had beers with friends (and friends of friends). It was cool little spot! It sounded like on snow days, everyone brings a crockpot and they fire up the lift. On nonsnow days, it's like a private club for drinking and hanging out with the other members and snow-lovers. Last I heard, you have to be recommended by a member. And, they were suppose to re-do their new member bylaws earlier this year. The committee (well use to) meet on Tuesdays. Here are some cool little pics that I snapped in 2017. I was enamored with the place. inside decor. There's articles of the skiing history in the area the front patio of their lodge inside the cabin, there's a fireplace and, the ski hill lite up at night
  9. eh. not to be a negative nancy but I'm warry about the NY Post reporting on the finance side. If you look into the author's article history, you'll see that it tends to be very sensational headlines. https://nypost.com/author/noah-manskar/ I think I'll wait until the WSJ writes a more credible article.
  10. even more SomeGoodNews from John Krasinski.
  11. I saw this grilling competition and immediately thought of @enjoralas & the parking lot meats and dessert. https://jscasting.com/hgtvs-everything-but-the-house/
  12. Woot! Woot! We’re binding twins. Hope you love them. Welcome to the club!
  13. Totally get it btw it’s not an actual website 🤷🏼‍♀️
  14. lol @Kyle With no snow and all the ski resorts closed, this could temporarily serve as the home of Pennsylvania Skeeball & Rally. @indiggio, hope you're training for the next skee ball world championship in wildwood http://www.edsfuncade.com/events
  15. I recently got a bunch of targeted digital ads for at-home skee ball machine. It made me wonder, what about my digital footprint says I'm an ideal purchaser for an at-home skee ball machine....... Regardless, I thought about it and googled if there's a skee ball championship on the latest ESPN programming. Turns out you can win $10k if you're a champion skee baller. I can't wait to see if ESPN airs this type of quality programming.
  16. my favorite charts are @mattsurelee on instagram. Quality statistical interpretations.
  17. There's an annual photo contest? I wasn't told any of this in my introduction to PASR 101
  18. Colorado Ski Planning thread has officially turned into COVID-19 updates
  19. That's a decent price for a SUP. Is it inflatable? How's it for transporting on your car? I have a Peak Expedition Inflatable SUP and I'm pumped to get on the water soon. I always have friends asking about it and the other SUPs in the market.
  20. That’s crazy. If a coworker has it, it could have been transmitted to someone else in your office. Your coworkers could have it and just not be showing any symptoms yet.. Are you WFH this week? Stay safe I haven’t worked in the office since February 27th 😳
  21. I know this is 10+ days late... but did anyone else notice that “cancelled” was spelled wrong like 3x? 😂
