Now, do I also go in for a Bird pass?

Hmm...Does a hobby horse have a wooden dick?

Should I buy a Bird Pass?

So...I've got a smokin' deal on a Canyons pass and I'm getting it. Booyakasha.

Now, do I also go in for a Bird pass? This would be for the occasional epic Bird day, and springtime park shralping with phUnk and PowHo and Z and whoever else is into shralping the park in the spring.

I'm thinking...no. Buy a 10-pack or something to the Bird and also have some $$ for shralping Brighton and Park City.

But... if I could get in on Telephil's $500 deal it would probably be worth it.

Hrmm... WWMD?

Absolutely, you will get tired of the flats at the Canyons in no time. Plus early season there will suck compared to the Bird. Then there is late season.

yes you should. the bird rocks the house. who's house you might ask? anyone's house. that's right. the bird is just sick like that. seriously though, 500 bucks for a season at the bird is a deal that would even make a street haggler pleased, but do to his haggling nature he might try to haggle for a higher price just because he's used to that sort of thing. I know it's blasphemy around these parts, but I've always liked the bird more than alta. there, i said it.

Dood,

Voice of reason here.

Quality vs. Quantity. You got the Quantity with the Canyons (plus plenty of quality :D)

Screw the Bird, save your duckets for powpow days at other places. Expand your horizons I say.

Jay, WTF happened to the Gators? They're killing my strength of schedule rating. (See you in Dec.)

Definitely don't get the Bird pass. That resort is overrated, unless you enjoy standing in line with tourists from Ohio and skiing chopped up pow. Park City has a better park and Snowbasin has untracked.

yeah, you definitely wont be sitting in line with tourists at park city or the canyons. And the 300 inches of sunbake they get at the canyons will make you think you are somewhere in colorado

I just wanna know -- if I come to the Utah mini in December, who will play with me at Bird or Canyons? I ride, can't go to Alta - and I ain't ever putting on skis again (there, I said it).

I agree Snowbird has better terrain than Alta that is one reason I'm back at the Bird this year. The race for which is better is close in my book but I prefer the Bird. That said a day at the Alta with the usual crew is hard to beat.

Since Tuffy's staying with me he'll go where I say. And since I'm a boarder, no Alta for me either. (Though he might revolt.)

Though things can get kinda kinky at the Canyons, so be ready.

I got the bird. You GET the bird......NOW!!!!

Besides, I spent more in fuel driving down to hang with your manky snowboard ass a million times last season than it'll cost your well connected ass to get a pass there this year.

AND, if you are there often, I can use you as the scapegoat as to why I'm going for the 16th day in a row instead of looking for a job.

Bird defenitely has better terrain than Alta. and alot more stuff to jump off of. just don't rip around there until there's a hundred inch base unless you want to fill in 3 different core shots the next day. tram runs on zero vis days are also not that fun

Get the Bird pass. That is all.

Best thing about the Canyons: backcountry access

I plan to be at the Bird on the board on Sat, Dec 18 for the MINI.

Or I may ski suck, depend of conditions, but if we have some boarders there, I will follow suit most likely.

Will only have a few days on skis (maybe, snow and moola dependent) before that, but getting on the board is like riding a bike.

AND what is this IF shit??? ;)

And having never been to Alta and have had a ton of fun at the Bird, I like Snowbird better too. :D

I'll be at the Bird on Saturday for sure. I don't know where I'll be on Sunday though. What kind of play are we talking about here ;)

aha! and the war has begun. I agree with ya MD9! as for the pass deal, until moving to WA and Alpe last year- I spent the previous 5 winters with a 'Bird/Canyons set up. That was purrrfect! Nice to have both options available. Two totally distinct areas. But then again, I lived in PC and would head up to the Can when time was either crunched or the one day/week I was too lazy to make the 35 minute trip to the 'bird. And for the $500 price, you can't go wrong, provided you can make at least 12-15 days at The Bird.

I always liked skiing bonus days in April/May/... at the Bird

I think the kink gets kinda low but the end is about waist-high through the winter. It is the Canyons, after all.
