As if being in college and skiing at Alta weren't already two of the greatest things in life, now you get to do both for under $500! Not a bad setup, dood.

A "G" = One thousand dollars.

Xover meant "one hundred dollars."

Does that clear it up for everyone now?

Did anyone really believe Snowbird raised thier pass price $1000 in one season? :nonono2:

I'd love to live somewhere that has powder year round but atleast i'm still getting 5-6 days a week on skis. i gotta think there are few others still out there skiing too.

I'm with the idiot and 13 on this one. I guess stewing in a bath of ignorance and stupidity is the Utahn way, but maybe it's just because I spent so much time in SLC this winter because it sucked up here.

Obviously this is all relative. I mean, on the one end are the coloradans, saying "I pay $200 for a ten resort season pass" on the other end, we've got that alta/bird regulars saying "I pay $1200 for my season pass, what are you bitchin about?" Just seems to me that a 20% jump is kind of a lot, especially since it's obviously for the new quad (debatable, but I don't think it really helped anything...) and the new cafeteria (who needs that shit?) I just wish Alta would stick to its guns and keep things the way they've always been. Instead they're doing the same things all the other resorts are. Soon we'll have $60 lift tickets there, just like everywhere else.

We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the people that complain about Utards are pussies. And the Village Idiot is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!

Remember also, sand can infiltrate not only the vagina, but also the asshole. And it can really do a number on the balls too. But the dick wins every time.

Ya gotta wonder what they teach kids in kollege these days.

A G is short for a GRAND, although I never knew why until I looked it up with my mad interweb skills.

As with most questions of etymology, we don't know who first used the phrase. The best we can do, in most cases, is to find the earliest written usage, which is around 1915 for "grand." But the term was probably used in conversation for a while before it appeared in writing.
Within a few decades, the term was so popular that it was abbreviated to G or G-note. During WWII, the Yanks brought the term to the UK, where it came to mean £1,000.
By the late 1940s, a grand meant a thousand of almost anything, not just money.

A nickel or dime bag, well hell, that shit used to mean something a long time ago, but now a dime bag is a term only heroin and crank addicts use

Can you get a UT state ID without relinquishing your DL from the other state?
They can't insist you be able to drive - some folks dont' and a state ID should be good enough.

yes and no. you can tell them that you lost your current out of state dl but your old dl will no longer be valid even if you still have it. try getting a state id and see how long you can pass that off.

You must mean twice the vert of Alta. Now that'd be correct. http://endlessseason.com/smilies/cackle.gif

well before that it was less than 70 a month;

never said it was awful, just seems wasteful considering where the extra money might be going.

Not to speak out of turn, but it wasn't too long ago that Alta did away with the lottery for season passes. My understanding was if you weren't old school enough, or a employee, you were SOL until your # came up to buy a pass. So what's worse, your pass price going up or not being able to get one at all?

Gramps, I hear you though. Any increase in prices always sucks, especially for something that passholders may percieve to be unneeded, like funding a new lodge/caferteria. Stick it to the day ticketers, right? Seems that a certain resort in bcc needed a new day lodge and beginner lift, and tix prices are going up accordingly.

Btw, we bought Silver cards for a $100 apiece last season, and we would loan them out all the time. Seems to me a collection could be made for a bunch of Silver cards for out-of-towners. We will be picking up a pair again this year to loan to friends, and travellers who bring beer and other goodies.
