Best bet is 50% meals & entertainment deduction, same as golfing with clients.

Do we have a buddy pass this year?

That video is great! I love how they focus on the French onion soup for like 10 seconds. I didn't see that barber shop when I was there, I need a haircut bad! Can't find the meatheads clip! Linky?

Stowe $92 sugarbush $85. Saved about $30 using liftopia

Went to Sugarbush yesterday. Seems like an awesome mountain, but not my #1 day of all time. With temps in the -20s, only one lift was running for the first couple hours of the day. My toes immediately re-froze which was a barrel full of fun, and since I tend to sweat a bit when I ski, at -20 that condensation which normally is not an issue becomes ice on the goggles immediately. I was all pumped for the hike only access to castle rock, but didn't get the chance to get up there. Maybe I chose wrong and there would have been more lifts spinning earlier from the other base (I parked at Lincoln peak). Really looking forward to coming back when I can feel my extremities and when I have access to all the terrain. Overall it was a good couple days since I got to experience some new places, even if my experience was a bit limited. Now on to Taos where it's full on spring already.

Had a really fun day, but the cold was rough. High was like 0 at up top it was -5 not including wind chill. I'm not used to that shit. Morning was really fun lapping the quad. Once the temps started to fall even more, the gondola was a nice option. I rode that a bunch of times, but the terrain wasn't as fun as the quad. There were still a bunch of closed trails, and not enough snow to feel good about going in the trees, plus I was solo and had no fucking clue where I was going. Made a quick gondi ride over to spruce peak, man that side is a shitshow. Wanna be vail all the way, I was not impressed. I saw a family of Japanese people (all 3 of them) with their skis on trying to walk across the brick promenade. Called it quits around 3:15 and had a beer and some wings at the Matterhorn. I have a black toenail, and I'm not sure if it was frostbite or toe bang, but thinking frostbite since I never had a problem with these boots. My favorite run was Nosedive because the snow was really good over there all day. I was impressed by the steeps also. I only skied National and Liftline since all the others were closed, but National made me take a sec to think before dropping in! Hopefully I'll come back someday when conditions are a little better, but all in all great day!

Easy to get a lot of vert riding the quad here at Stowe. 5 laps already. Nosedive twice, one upper and lower lifeline, one national to lifeline, hayride and lord? A couple inches of fresh snow. Cold as shit but fun. Had to grab my heavy duty face mask. Back out now!

Pics may be scarce today. I won't be taking off my gloves too many times

There. Is, but it's not till 7, and I want to bounce at 7

I'll be ok! Between your generous contribution to the parking lot beers and the heady I'm drinking now at dinner, I can't complain.

Drive took about 6.5 from my house. Couple of stops to pee, plus I made a beer stop. Thanks for the recommendations! My hotel is a good 35 minutes from the mountain, so I got some food I can eat in my room for breakfast, but I'll be sure to check out one of the post skiing places you mentioned.

Glad you got that tune straightened out!

Finally made it up here, got my gear all organized, now gonna go enjoy some of vermonts finest beers. Then early to bed early to shred! Stowe tomorrow. Gonna be cold as shit.

When mama ain't happy ain't nobody happy!

Awesome! Hopefully the wedding cake wasn't next to the gigantic enlarged colon.

One small step for man....

Planning to ski the afternoon on Friday, then all day Saturday and Sunday. Like GSS says its gonna be cold so dress like an astronaut!

Looking better and better for the weekend. Per snowforecast.com for Stowe: Tuesday: 1-2 inches Wednesday: 1-2 inches Thursday: 3-5 inches Friday: 4-7 inches Saturday: 1-2 inches At the low end its a refresher, at the high end it's boot deep pow and I'll take it either way!

Oh I must be remembering the enchirito.

Yep I had them at the end of last year. I love them!

Prices have changed a lot since I last frequented Taco Bell in 1999

Could someone seriously bring some quesaritos?

No spray, I'll be riding the Moments!

I feel your pain, I was hoping to hit MRG but not looking good. Sugarbush, Stowe and Killington seem to have the best trail count, and a decent shot for a little natural snow in the 10 day forecast.
