anyone know what the timeline is like from "bought pass" to "got pass in the mail" these days?
also lazily: when you show up at a resort, do you need to do anything to "redeem one of your 5 days" or do you just swipe it and go?

This year we're on the Ikon card equipment and only one pass... other Ikon card holders will just swipe and go.
You don't know much about Mormons then. Evan and Hillary got more votes combined than Trump in Utah.Quote:

I broke my toe the morning I had a hut reserved to do Fuji, classic timing! I did some shorter limp-y hikes around Kyoto + Katsuyama instead....holy humidity though! I found out too late I shoulda gone to Hakuba, taken a lift up part-way, and then hiked from hut-to-hut, it looked super rad but I was out of time and the weather looked shit for a quick mission trip up there. My toe coulda handled that I think.
Where did you go hike?

It was really fast, until it wasn't. It's gonna be down at least a month I think, they can't just swap out parts like that. Plus more tests and recertification. Thank god for thunderhead. Lifties better work on their lift line/corral management, shit's gonna get wedged.Quote:

Well, to be clear - there was already an 8-person gondola there. They just put in a faster one. Until shit broke and it became a much slower one. :DQuote:
