Now $35 might get you a decent lunch and a beer.

ready to slay some lift lines at the wood!
rolling in at 1am, never seen so many cars parked on the street at the various houses. gonna be busy.
We were playing golf at Squaw Creek a couple of years ago and made the mistake of trying to buy hot dogs at the poolside bar. $72 for 4 plain hot dogs on stale rolls, with no sides or drinks, that took 30 minutes to arrive. We complained enough to get the price knocked down to $36. Obviously resort food is always overpriced but I challenge anyone to come up with a worse example.Quote:

Is this the rocky-topped Silver Peak out by the gate on hiway 4, Jay?
No, not on Ebbett's pass, just the one you can see across the way from the upper mountain at Squaw.Quote:

Seriously, resorts are in a business to make money. I hate it as much as any one on here when a resort closes down in early April. But look around the lift lines in late March. There is no one in them. It's gotten warm in the valley and people there are thinking of wake boarding etc. Your 500 dollar pass does not entitle you to lift served turns in August.
Enjoy each winter for what it is and while it is here. Get a 100+ days on your pass, and take the slow quad if you need more. I appreciate what the resorts provide for me at the price that I pay. Every pass in the basin is relatively cheap and provides a good value if you are skiing every day. If you need more, you need to adjust your lifestyle, not bitch about resorts not being open for 50 "locals" on a weekend in May.
*** You don't like skiing. Go back to epicski.
Alpine's drawn good crowds through late May. The Ranch pulled a good crowd in July a few years back.
If the resort is not open, at least let us hike for a few turns on National Park property is all I ask
Hmm...didn't know Badger Pass was such a coveted spring/summer time skin.Quote:

apparently silverado is closed to keep it pristine for a warren miller flick.
What's the guess on cost if that is true? $200k?Quote:

I add Progresso tomato soup to the vermicelli and it's better! Couple globs of Classico.
Wakeboarding? You incredible dick. (Nothing wrong with wakeboarding but assuming that's how most of the people around here spend their springs and summers displays a staggering degree of cluelessness.)Quote:

what stskier says is true,.....cept the wake boarding part
all you lift dependent complainers need to buy some touring gear and take advantage of the best spring skiing in the world (or so I'm told) in one of the most beautiful places on earth on your own private mountain
still quality settled pow on shaded north but every other aspect has gone south
Remember in Late May 2011 when we had a few late big powder days on top of that giant base and Squaw was rad and sold cheap day tix and opened back up? Those were the days.
KSL's first year as owners at squaw. Not that I entirely expect them to do it every year they can.Quote:
