welcome

I might go, but I'm not sure. It might be too crowded for one slope and chair, for my liking.
You have a season pass, just go!

David has football Sat

Size 4 kids Vans black. They have the dial to tighten, do not have to tie.
Women's size 8 Burton's blue. Lace up.
Both used about 20 days.
I'm going to put these on ebay later this week. I don't really know what to sell them for $15-20 per pair plus shipping.

It was mad fun, a product toss like every hour was pretty sweet. A UFC match in the parking lot. A couple nice falls nothing major. Just a mellow comp. It was pretty sweet, the DJ was pretty sick too along with all the rubber neckers driving by.
I missed the Ufc match in the parking lot. 75% of the kids there went a little overboard with the fashions. They looked like gangsters.

wow, I don't need to rent a place but that's a great price. The average seasonal rental seems to be 8-12 grand plus utilities. My friend may be looking for a seasonal rental, post some pics.

If my son's football team doesn't make it too the playoffs we will be there that weekend.

United and American airlines are offering a kids fly free program to several resorts out west. Travel has to be between Jan 4-Feb 15 mid week and I think they black out MLK weekend. Crested Butte is included in that and so is Steamboat , Whistler (vancouver) and a few others. You can save roughly $500 per child's ticket alone to fly into Vancouver. If you type in kids fly free to ski to a search engine you will find some stuff on it. That would save you a lot more than a few free lift tickets. Steamboat also has a kids ski free but the catch is the parents have to buy 5 consecutive day lift tickets to qualify.

I saw people skiing under the Merrywidow and big boulder lifts all the time.

ohh mahh gahh i cant decide between blue and bc?!????????
for a season pass? I hope you are still going to be at bb this season. We would miss you.

At least you get to drive by billboards that are snow related in your every day life...I'm tired of living so far away from the Pocs.
yeah, but we get to drive by billboards of all the has-beens performing at the casinos. Lucky us.

ski, you're a tough old nut, and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

The kids are rewarded with something....reading. I am not saying I would be proud to sponsor something like this. But, I don't know many programs that don't have some kind of catch to them. Someone from this MB pm'd me that Steamboat has a "kids ski free" program. When I looked into it further, I found out that they only ski free when the parents buy 5 or more days of lift tickets at $85 a pop. I'm not saying it wouldn't be great if Sno and other area mountains offered non-gimmicky programs, but I wouldn't hold my breath. They don't have to offer discounts at all. They could charge everyone full price all the time. Plus, as a parent, I would have no problem telling my kid that reading earns them a free lift ticket to a new mountain. They don't have to know there is a catch at all. They think they earned their ski day by reading books.
-
I think anything that gets kids away from their ipods/gameboys/cell phones and gets their nose in a book is a good thing. Sno is a business after all and how can they prove these kids actually read the books anyway?
-
I know I am a whimp, but the gondola at Grouse Mtn scared me. I won't be in a hurry to ride the one at Whistler. But it is pretty amazing. 11 minute ride.

Hey now, I'm only 1.5 behind you and I'm not ready to go over the hill
.Im just kidding. I don't feel old at all except when I am on this message board sometimes.
-
you have to come to Big Boulder at least once, I'd like to meet a fellow over the hill pasr.

Well, what pisses me off is some smart ass kid who thinks only gapers want the bar down. Call me an old lady, but I think after 35 years of skiing, 915 days, and over 14 million vertical feet, I am no gaper. I want the bar down to rest my legs so I can ski bell to bell, so SORRY but when I tell you I'm pulling down the bar get your damn head out of the way!
good answer

Well, when he proves it to you this winter, then you'll have your live show. Face it, even if you had pics and videos of the camp, what counts is what stuck, not what they did then.
Yeah I know that. I just wanted a picture or two since I wasn't up on the glacier with them. I am thrilled that he finally had the confidence to do the terrain park, and that he met new friends that he has been emailing all summer and he felt like he was on his own since we were not in the hotel with them. Overall it was a great experience for both of them. They have been telling anyone who will listen all summer how great camp was, how they went to a new country and all the fun things we did. I am not saying all I wanted out of the camp experience was a picture. But when there are over 150 pictures and a 30 minute video and my kids are only in random shots standing around I am just disappointed that's all. Geesh it was just a lighthearted little rant, leave it at that.
-
More importantly, did the kids feel that they had any breakthroughs at the camp?
my older son definitely did. My younger son didn't get as much out of it. I think he might have been too young.
-
that's a good line. I did get an email from the camp who gave me the email of the guy who did the videos. I contacted him and told him I would pay for any footage of my kids he had laying around. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the advice.
-
They advertise a video at the end of camp. They don't physically give you a dvd, they put one on their website and you can download it to your computer. This was my first time doing camp so maybe I was expecting too much, but for the money they charge I was expecting at least a few good pictures of them actually on the snow.
-
They don't guarantee a pic of your kid on their website. I don't need it to be on the website, I just want one for myself. They post the pics and vid on the website and then you download them, so if its not on the site, that's it.
-
good idea I just emailed them.
