For the last 20+ years, the only lifts open on opening day are the Arrow, Gemini and the Disco. Nobody is making you go. It is fucking Halloween. It's pre season hype. Lighten up.Quote:
Looks like they're only opening a little beginner chair. Seriously, is that WP? Fuck that shit. Sounds like Molly Hogan terrain at Abasin is what WP will open. Lame AF.

What’s better right now? Top to bottom ABasin on Dercums to High Noon or Eldora top to bottom from Alpenglow? I can’t believe I’m asking that.
Yeah I was a bit baffled by the amount of skiers on such a cold day, but that's just how it is these days. It was my go to all through high school and October on a day like that then, I'd be maybe one of two or three cars hahaQuote:

Thanks for the report. I probably won't be able to get out until December, so I got time for the shit show to die down.Quote:

Was going to ask you that, works for me. Hell, 70 drive sucks for wrod, save that for deep days.Quote:

Reading the forecast discussion this morning made me laugh a little. The first and last sentences:
"A stagnant pattern will continue over North America."
...
"It`s a ways off but at least and [sic] indication of a pattern change."
Sooo, 2 weeks maybe?
precisely, and it's time to start keeping very close tabs on alabama's football programQuote:

But sunny and good snow = damn nice time. Plus some good people watching

A Basin was cold AF this morning then warmed up nicely. I never waited more than a couple minutes for a lift. Saw LOTS of Icon passes.

Was at WP 1230-230pm. after a morning tour on BP. Zero wait in the singles line on Gemni. $1 Coors light at Derailer. It was busy with people, but lines didn't seem too crazy. Someone in the lift line asked if Pano was open....
Fuck yeah!Quote:

^^^ WOOF!
While you guys are all basking in the sun with this high pressure system, can anyone give me recommendations for Frisco? Looks like I'll be staying there for a few days this winter and have only passed through before.
Here's some spots with my impressions, I'm sure other people will have other opinions because they are on the internet.Quote:

Tavern West- probably my favorite bar/restaurant in Frisco. Higher end pub food, little pricey. We go here a lot.
Fifth Ave grill- steaks and such, very good
Vinnys-has great family Italian. You want pasta, go here
Bagali's- also italian and pretty good. More like wood fired pizzas and small plates,
Breakfast- Butterhorn, good pastries and decent breakfast, Log Cabin is OK too
Rocky Mountain Roasters- good coffee and quick breakfast burritos, I like the chorizo ones.
Moosejaw- classic local dive bar, worth a visit.
Pazzo's Pizza- best pizza in town, maybe the county.
Greco's- casual decently priced, but not the highest end of food. Decent beer list.
Clubhouse- local beers selection and cocktails, good bar scene upstairs.
That's about all I can think of, sure I'm missing something but I'd say overall, Frisco has some pretty good spots and you won't be disappointed at these.
Excellent. Thanks!
