No shockers in there...
ummm, sooooo.....will Crystal be refunding or pro-rating any of them one-thousand-dollar-plus passes?
Also found out that you have to be a FULL-TIME shop rat to get a discount on your pass at Xtal. Is this normal for around here?!?!?!? Because there's like 2 full-time shop rats in every shop, the owner and the manager...
In Bozeman, shop rats, full-time, part-time, no-time, whatever, got a substantial discount on passes for Bridger and Big Sky, that worked out to being roughly half the price of the full passes.
EDIT - btw - does anybody "hear" the Sage Cattabriga voice as Phishshow's, every time he posts? Must be the dirty dishwasher mountain employee thing.
Um, I am out about a grand right now.... :nonono2:Quote:

"Up with hope; down with dope!"
I know it's going to start dumping once I leave for Altus.
At least you guys wil have some to enjoy then. I mean it couldn't POSSIBLY be over ALREADY...
(Altus, OK = where I have to go to a trade school for a couple months)
Jumper and I talked on the phone last night, and we decided to open a hot dog stand on the corner of 2nd & Pike... to help pay off my F*cking Corporate Pass, and to buy Jumper a new pair of Mid Fats. ;)Quote:

How are the mountains in OR doing, as poorly as WA? Mount Hood Meadows, Timberline, etc.?
just as bad huxtable. 'cept bachelor is still open with boilerplate conditions.
Its a sad sad season.
I am headin' to the rockies for at least some cream corn snow this spring.
Forecast = fucked. today, tomorrow, next week, next month. Time to just start throwing away the cap from the vodka bottle.
No way this could happen two years in a row, eh? (I'm nervous given my impending relocation.) Anyway, I feel for you guys… road trip down to CA, we have heaps of snow.
Next year....
La Nina.
so, with things being this bad in OR and BC...how in the fuck will Whistler and Hood stay open all summer?
I've been emailing a few of the weather guys at KOMO. They're pretty cool and respond in the same day! All perplexed by the shitty fucking season we are having, too. Keep asking them to run the 16 day models.Quote:

05'-'06 likely a neutral year (meaning we should get a little bit better than average snowfall so Baker should be around 700" and we should be at 475"-500" at the Passes
'06-'07 La Nina enters and stays for 2-3 years (meaning much more than average snowfall)
But of course, this is all in theory
Do their 16 day models agree with my 16 day model which says dry and warm with a 0% chance of rebuilding a base?Quote:

This season sounds ominously a lot like the so-called 1976 year we've all heard about. FUCK.
Funken, I think I have worked a deal to get Monday off work- I'll let ya know.
Mammoth has gotten 13" so far... wanna make the trip even further?Quote:

Edit: What's another 2.5 hours after driving 13.5? :rolleyes2
tell that to your ass during your 14th hour of driving.... :fm:Quote:

June, July and August are something close to half of their revenue - which is why they've set up the windfarm on east palmer. Could be grim :cussing:Quote:

At this point a 6.5-7.5 hour drive for good snow is very do-able.
