No new acres, but the lift made possible the world's only uphill black diamond...well, it's not a run, but it is a runout. If you're a strong skater--to be honest, I had to walk out after taking this pic, but I did manage to keep the boards on and that's a useful skill in the foggy basin!

Some people claim the basin is flat, but as 2funky knows anything can be steeper if you skate uphill partway through the run. It's not super efficient, but when the basin closes you'll have plenty of time for turns at Silver, Lookout or 49. So if you decide to brave 95, don't skip the skating--it will have you in good shape for the last month of the season, wherever you decide to go.
Wait, there are actual hikes at Silver and Lookout aren't there? That might work, too, I guess.
I’m leaning toward pulling the trigger on a Silver Mtn pass. Under $1400 for the whole family, plus powder alliance benefits. Sounds like good snow and decent terrain. Not to mention there’s a good chance I’ll be looking at a bike pass up there next summer.
According to NOAA’s outlook, its looking like it could be a good winter for Northern ID!

Snowed for like 5 minutes in Sandpoint today, and lots of snow in the forecast for Schwiezz this coming week. Get stoked.
I’ll happily guide you two around and look forward to seeing your smiling faces!!Quote:

Ps, love that this thread is still going from 13/14. Lol!
I'd say this is doubtful, knowing you hahaQuote:

Got all the quintessential training and equipment...for touring, just need to add a sled and a few ripping skiers.
you and half the other powhounds, saturdays are gonna be as bad in the easy access zones as it is a the resort.Quote:

in other news, if you thought parking at the swizz was a shit show on weekends, the half finished "boutique" hotel filling the village lot says "hold my beer". RVs get kicked out to the expanded fire station lot and have to use shuttle from there, major suck
Stoked. Anybody gonna try the grass slide at Lookout this weekend? Should be enough to keep you afloat
