unfortunately, i'm out, so that's one less looking for floor space! have a great time, guys! hope to catch up with a bunch of you at some point in the future while we're all still breathing.
Hey friends.
I'm looking at flights, nearly ready to commit, and could use some advice on transportation to/from the airport.
I think I'll land at 1230 on Wednesday. How quickly could I get to the mountains? Can I do this by bus? Where should I aim... anyone skiing that afternoon?
Departing flight from SLC at 1730 on Saturday (sorry to cut out a bit early... gotta move on to Swiz!). Assuming Solitude is the ski venue that day, how should I plan to deproach, and by what time?
Yo Dibs... still got floor space?
Thanks,
S
An hour from airport to sitting on a lift. Bus would be a major pain in the ass as far as I know. I’d probably take an Uber all the way up, or at least to the mouth of bcc and then bus up. Hopefully a mag is skiing and can give you a ride down.
You’re getting here a little late though to spend cash on a lift ticket. What about an afternoon tour instead?
Afternoon tour would be most welcome and I will be geared appropriately.
Did they get rid of the one-ride ticket at Solitude? That would put you up much higher to start your tour.
For other full days, people like me with ikon passes can get 25% off tickets for visitors. I can't commit to helping anyone out yet though, I may be out of town. If I'm around I'll help.
It’s hard to know my schedule that far out, but I try to get up 1 or 2 afternoon’s a week. If it works out I’m happy to pick you up at the airport and make some turns.
Is your flight to Switzerland on United? That’s about when my flight leaves too.
I'm going back to SEA to hug the wife and kid, retool the pack, and sleep... then out 3/17 via Iceland Air.
Bobby... thanks for the offer. Is your schedule crystallized? Don't bail from skiing if you're already in the hills just to pick up my ass
Well that could work out pretty well!
What is it, 5 hours from Boise? So if you left at 8 on Wednesday the timing would be perfect. Still out of your way to go to the airport, tho. Let's keep that on the back burner
I probably can't go tour that afternoon, but live ~15 mins from the airport and could probably work in shuttling you up there, if you need. PM me if you wanna. Also down to tour, usually an early morning guy though
I could be into an afternoon tour Weds as well. I normally work thurs-sat but I'm gonna try and swing at least one day off for BBI. Happy to show mags around Alta/Bird pre or post BBI if anyone is interested.
not available to my knowledge but off thur/fri and can probably let 3/4 of you kooks use my family's passes to get up high since they won't be skiing until sat.Quote:

I don't work in the winter, so Norseman or any others I can pickup and drop off at the airport without much hassle. I'm a pretty good driver, for a Californian turned Utahn.
Other options would be Canyon Transportation, which are shared four wheel drive vans. Forty bucks a person I think to/from the ski areas. Depending on demand, you may have to wait at the airport for a little bit for other groups.
What Phall doesn't remember is that I committed us and told him like 3 months ago [emoji23]

3rds or forths on airport pickup whomever needs it
I have a unclaimed bedroom 2funky backed out on for eurobbi. And driveway space for camper drivers
I may put in a claim on a bedroom if still available. Not positive on the dates I’ll be in/out but likely arrive thurs and leave red eye Sunday night or the 3am train to Glenwood.
There’s a decent chance I’ll be there and can do the driving. We should stay in touch, and, like if it’s looking doable for me I can save you an uber, or meet up for the pm ski and give you a lift down....Quote:

Back in the day I believe Smith's was the cheapest option for day tix. If they didn't have them I would grab them at Sportscastle.
What is the best/cheapest route for ticket acquisition for BBIUT for those of us w/o Ikon or Epic passes?
Probably online. Brick and mortar deals are harder to come by these days.Quote:

Liftopia was the best deal for Solitude when I had family in town recently. Vail tends to be pretty tight on discount passes.Quote:

Airfare is nailed down for me, as well. Arriving midday Wednesday... the single ride ticket at Brighton sounds like a good target for that afternoon.
you got a place to crash and turn earner guide and as cheap as no human powered vert as i can acquire reserved
Fantastic, the spots all yours, looking forward to it. Also if you will be driving that white noble steed Feb 8 is Toyota Ski Free Day at Mt. Spokane.Quote:

I'll have at least 20 half price = can be used as 10 full day Alta tickets to contribute.
Gonna let sfb do the distributing.
Only day I have off is Thursday, hope to connect with y'all wherever that day is spent.
Will be working on the hill at the Alta the rest; don't know how much tour guiding I'll be able to do, but will be able to sneak a few runs in here and there.
Looking forward to meeting mags.
Thanks for hosting op.
Makes most sense. An Alta day on Fri, Sat, or Sun? Gonna let the host figure that one out.Quote:
