Not to rain on this kind recommendation but Peruvian strikes me as “wise” with his money more so than lacking of funds. He works hard and has a mastermind early retirement plan that motivates him to save where he can. If TGR wants to reimburse him for his bash badge + he probably wouldn’t say no, but he may not be the right target audience for this level of generosity.Quote:

It is not just about money - one is going to Harry. He could 'afford' a pass, but would otherwise not buy one, having resign himself to living back in the mid west. This year, he will get out west at least one more time to ski with his friends after hooking up so many people from this board at his place in BS over the years.
So even if a new parent otherwise has the money, or a person might have the funds, if we can get the on snow one more winter, or this winter instead of having a gap, this pass is for that kind of person
And ya know, all the good stuff - like they are a decent person, has or will hook up people here and irl, and snow is a source of balance or solace, or peace, or joy, to whatever for them. I think we still have a week.
FUCK YEAH HARRY AND BUZZ!!!Quote:

Words cannot describe how humbled I am by this. Several days ago I received a PM from Ottime telling me I had been nominated by multiple maggots for this pass.Quote:

I’ve never skied Colorado.
I’ve never skied Utah.
I’ve never skied Tahoe.
I’ve only skied Jackson once.
At age 66 I am getting old and feeble, and if I don’t ski those places this year I will be even older and more feeble when I do.
So yes, a pass would make a positive change in my life. I humbly accept this nomination from my friends.

I’m shocked that Harry hasn’t skied in CO, UT, Jackson, or Tahoe! Seriously wtf. If this pass incentivizes the checking off of some major bucket list slopes, I can’t imagine a better use for it plus for a guy that seems to always be helping out other people on the board. Hope you make it out to Tahoe and we all get to meet the Legend !
Harry has lots of amenities courtesy of myself during any Utah visit. Including a room at the Inn. Door is open, smoke’s in the garage. Load whatever apparatus you see fit.

I hope I get to ski with Harry in Colorado!
A series of mini summits based on Harry’s travels seems mandatory
I’d like to meet buzz too. Maybe he can ride shotgun
I hope he drives a Wagon Queen
Travels wit Harry...coming soon to your local PBS station.

Not much to add, except if your travel takes you through SLC, I urge a weekday at Alta if the snow is good.
To me, it is a legendary, historic place !
I hope you have a great season !
With Respect. !

Last year, on my virginal trip to the Wasatch, when I told people it was my first time, they were looking at me like I had willingly agreed to have brain removed.
FKNA Harry!Quote:

Thanks for doing this Ottime! It's so cool.
Aren't there "I skied with Harry" shirts or hats or something?
Reissue?
I am one step ahead of you and I have already ordered a new supply. I will be handing them out along the way.Quote:
