RidgeRacer Posted September 19 Report Posted September 19 Snow is falling high in the mountains out west. Leave are slowly turning in the east. Ski shops are advertising tent sales and the ski mags are getting ready to drop the gear review and resort rankings. Ski Season upon us. Use this thread to discuss the upcoming season.

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 25 Report Posted September 25 Just purchased the ikon base pass today. 23/24 got 4 days. 24/25 got 12. Really hoping to top 20 again this year. They added Blue and CB last year, so hoping to get a few more days there this year. They added Le Massif de Charlevoix this year, so hoping to get back there on an in-law vacation to northern NH. 1
RidgeRacer Posted September 28 Author Report Posted September 28 For anyone doing night sessions this season, looking like white led lights (to replace the shitty orange) on razors, challenge, NMDW and possibly on Main Street. Sucks this is a multi season project but happy it’s happening. Makes such a difference skiing under the white lights. 6

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 1 Report Posted October 1 I’m sure it’s an expensive project. I have no idea what commercial LED lights cost nowadays, but I remember buying 30 exterior rated LED bulbs in 2010 when they were first coming out for like $35 apiece. It did cut the cost from $100 a month to $30 a month on electric, and did last 7-8 years, so it paid off, but I remember thinking it was crazy to spend $1,000 on lightbulbs, especially when regular ones were $2 apiece.
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 6 Report Posted October 6 Anybody been to both Massif de Charlevoix and Mont Tremblant? My guess is @Johnny Law is the surest bet. I just found out that the closest ski area to my in laws is actually Mont Orford, so I’ll probably hit that once or twice this season, but I will probably be able to score a 2-3 day trip somewhere in QC, and I’ve never been to Tremblant. I absolutely love Charlevoix and MDS, so I’m leaving that way, especially since it’s been 6 years, but Tremblant is a similar distance and I wanted some intel on whether it was comparable or not.

I might no longer have to worry about people going straight when I’m trying to make the right hand turn leaving the current Wawa and sitting at the light for minutes, watching time tick away as I attempt to make opening at blue 2
RidgeRacer Posted October 30 Author Report Posted October 30 (edited) The WNEP ski card is out for 25-26 and it’s actually a pretty good deal.

trackbiker Posted November 9 Report Posted November 9 Camelback offering a Triple Ticket for $139. No blackouts. They forget to mention that it will cost at a minimum $36 more for parking. So total is really $175. No thanks! I can't believe that they charge for parking on weekdays. Otherwise, being semi retired and able to ski on weekends I would have taken them up on it. Now I'll just go to Montage or Elk. 1

A lifetime of work I’m sure you can afford a couple $12 for parking.
EdBacon Posted November 10 Report Posted November 10 I'm not going to get to Cameltop this year. That's ok. I've experimented before. 1
