GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 At parents house...cab scheduled to take me to the airport at 830am but now my flight is delayed more than 2 hours...Atomic Jeff said that flight could become undelayed. That happened to me once on southwest so looks like I'm gonna be at DC airport for like 4 hours. Happy happy joy joy and now probably get into newark around rush hour vs mid day. Woo. Next year my big ski trip is gonna be to Hunter mountain. It's steeper than jackson hole anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 At airport flight leaves in a little less than 4 hours. Good thing I have a coupon for parking...as I'll be charged for 11 days worth. Only gonna be like $150 for parking vs about $200 in economy lots at Newark. Next ski trip I'm going to Elk. It's like Vermont without the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 The crew has arrived but first they gotta get them settled and board Cleveland flight. Sheesh. I should get to Newark and retrieve my bags and get my car cleaned off just in time for rush hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Diet wasnt gonna start until my first full day home. Salad works for dinner tomorrow. Anyway maybe hit Clinton station diner on way home if bad rush hour traffic to let traffic clear. I'm back. Young male passenger blew up at off duty flight attendant I call it semi assault as he pushed her chair hard. I don't think he's gonna be allowed on his next flight. I'll explain more later. Can't wait to smoke some pineapple kush. Longest break from that in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 With no dressing the salads I like are 300 calories and I use my own ginger dressings conservatively. Anyway at Clinton station diner having pot roast. Ask Jeff how dainty I am with salad dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'm gonna start with the Good, The Bad and the Ugly...I'll add some things over the next few days...some will probably sound like first world problems... The Good: Flying 65+mph down Amphitheater after first gondola with absolutely nobody on the run The Bar: The couple days where mid mountain fog turned that into slow and deliberate turns The Ugly: Only one in 7 days with powder on that first run The Good: Bacon egg and cheese bagel sangs with fresh squeezed OJ from Pearl Street bagels to start the day The Bad: Free breakfast at the 49er.. The Ugly: slipping on the iciest streets and sidewalks to retrieve breakfast. Jackson doesn't use salt The Good: Seeing and talking to people on the bus from last season. The Bad: warm ass bus in ski boots and ski clothes everyday The Ugly: seeing the gapers on the bus struggle with their equipment..gosh The Good: warm enough to wear polo shirts as my heavy layer each day The Bad: warm enough to wear polo shirts as my heavy layer each day. The ugly: toothpaste stain on dark blue polo shirt I wore the last three days. The Good: dinner at Nanis pasta house The Bad: the fact that cute waitress flirted with Atomic Jeff more than me(a first) The Ugly: when waitress said she was from New York City I said oh that's where the salsa that isn't that good comes from and she didnt get the obscure 20 year old commercial cause was probably 3 years old then. More to come.... Edited February 4, 2015 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 No directs from LVI to SLC, went through ORD. When I go to Colorado in the spring I'll likely do southwest again through Newark mainly cause its cheap and direct and no baggage fees. The great thing about travelling with atomic Jeff is no baggage fees on united. Saved me about $600 over the years. Plus special tags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Good: nobody in the middle seat on Jackson to Denver flight Bad: took 48 hours to get from Denver to Newark Ugly: people who sit next to me on planes and read a newspaper and elbow me every time they read the plane. Good: now there are nachos served at lunch at the mangy moose Bad: they aren't as good as they used to be Ugly: Atomic Jeffs reaction when I asked for guacamole on the side Good: The town bus from Teton village to Jackson roomy and convenient. Bad: the European folk music the one bus driver with the mini mullet played. Ugly: skibum moustaches and other various dirtbags. Remember in Jackson hole the male female ratio is 57:1 so you don't get a girlfriend you get a turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad: nothing had to say about 60 ounce pitchers of medium test beer served by JH 8+ chicks where you can ski to the door or an award winning brew pub a 5 minute walk from the 49er or a gourmet liquor store 4'minutes away Ugly: drunk bros making animal noises among leaders of industry and professionals on holiday and their children. Good: friendly locals Bad: no unfriendly locals as there wasnt any deep powder so they were all in hibernation mode Ugly: weirdo maintenance man at the 49er...nursing a single 50'pound bag of salt for the entire winter for a several acre property... IGood: getting lots of sleep and not getting wasted late night at bars saved $$$ Bad: Montana Tom didn't come down he's broke and the $115 a day lift ticket combined with little new snow and zero ski days so far this season had his enthusiasm for Jackson at stoke stomper lows Ugly: waking up at 3am every morning because I went to bed so early e Good: only taking 4 hours to get to Jackson hole Bad: taking 50 hours to get home... Ugly: checking my bags three times three days in a row..wearing same boxers all three days(only clean pair left)...did have three fresh shirts...middle seat Denver to Washington DC between two men larger than me...at least economy plus for leg room..
