I didn’t realize how bad lines got yesterday after I stopped skiing although I was in a bit of a haze. I maybe lost one run yesterday from 8-940 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While a liftie at Eagle Rock I once got a ride to the lodge on a snowmobile since the lift broke again. It was fun and they didn't even take the gas money out of my paycheck!

toast21602 Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Good thing they increased season pass prices so they could fix this. Ski-doo is probably happy this will be done before they acquire the resort on August 1st. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s anything in the house. They had a ladder leaning against the first set of wheels outside the house in the return side, one guy on the catwalk leaning over working on it and a second guy going up and down the ladder helping. Probably a wheel bearing in that set. At least it’s on the return side so the new bearing grease won’t ruin @toast21602’s jacket. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point, there was even a rumor that said it was going to be loading at noon which never materialized. Why they can't keep a few bearings on hand is beyond comprehension. They're typical wear items and probably not that expensive. Edited March 15, 2021 by indiggio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1erArt Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Not feeling the love today. Long lines, wind howling at top, patchy new blown snow mixed in with old snow. Old guy on the first quad chair up with me - had to let him take first run down Oaradise. Skis too sharp, don’t think I got all the warm wax off last night, can’t do a thing with my hair, coffee was too weak. 4 runs, called it a day 9:45. Paradise was OK. Try again tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1erArt Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I have worked with a lot of people, who only thought parts for whatever they were working on were available only at the dealer or manufacturer. And at triple the price. First thing a good storeroom does when a new machine is purchased is to alternate source the spare parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the benefit of having a season pass. If the six pack is still down tomorrow I’m not gonna be as anxious to ski but will still be glad I went.
