Headed over to Revy this weekend, 6-9th. Is it possible to get a good deal on liftpasses with my KH pass?

[Eldo]

Revy website used to have the details, but since the reciprocal pass benefits were blacked out over Christmas and until Jan. 2 they seemed to have removed that info.

So pick up phone, phone Revy ski hill, and get an answer to your question - old school style.

Shout out to waxman, Huckin Eh' and Big Mike for helping me out with this: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...-use-for-buyer

Went for our usual new years day tour in spray. Skiied up to Rummel this time, lots snow shoers, couple other people on skis. We got a late start so only did one short run, but dug a pit just to see what was going on.

SE facing slope, 30 degrees. Pretty protected from the winds we have been getting. Exposed slopes were stripped bare.

210 cm hs. Top 30 soft unconsolidated. 35 cm 3f slab, 10 cm 2mm crystals. 2f to about 15cm from ground, and then 4-5mm crystals to ground.

New snow was sluffing on steep stuff, but not going very far, first slab came off medium, lower pack was good and solid, but llike we have been seeing, if you managed to cut it loose, it was going to go to the ground since it is basically sitting on ball bearings.

Skiing was very nice in the new stuff

Ha ha couldn't leave the shitty fast enough back in the day! That place is a hole, had to ski somewhere.

Ski a different aspect if the wind is causing you grief!?!?!?!?!

Perhaps these are going to change now that RCR is running the show? Although they said it's business as usual until the end of the season, then they will put their 'mark' on the resort.

I'm kind of worried about that myself, and it still might happen, but I requested that information and was given it on Dec. 12th and they never once posted that information (even though they still say "stay tuned").

[Eldo]

RCR resorts haven't had any reciprocal pass deals at Revy for years. Note that Fernie, Kimberley and Nakiska are not on that list. So it's safe to assume that a KH pass next season will not get you a discount at Revy.

If that's the case then just buy a Louise Plus card, which also helps at Castle.

RCR = does not play well with others

I agree... next year will likely be non-existent for reciprocal deals.

I'm surprised Castle isn't on that list already, actually, since they are part of the same Louise Plus discount card.

Any Revy mags got a place for 3 mags to crash tomorrow night? 2 guys and a gal.

I would say there is a pretty good chance the Louise Plus Card might change next year too. At least probably won't include KH anymore. Probably still be good at Revy though, which I guess would still work in this example.

[Eldo]

Damn, is it the horse barn for me?

[DougW]

Damn, is it the horse barn for me?

AS of yet there are no windows or doors installed in framed in section. Some old poly and some stables and tape and you'll be good.

No you have the room as no way you could be on couch as I would hear you snoring.

[Eldo]

Oh, snap.

[angrysasquatch]

Got back to the Horse today. Felt good to get back up T1, best snow of the day up there too.

[weibo]

Bit of a mess out there right now, rain in town all day and still going. No idea what he hill is like yet but should be good tomorrow, looked like snow all day on the cams. The Parkway is closed north of the Crossing though so we may just have to keep this all to ourselves.

[Joe Strummer]

SSV in the morning for me.
Might be the last bit of storm cycle for the next few days.

[the_teo]

Finished my two day AST1 with Adrenalin Descents today. I highly recommend A.D if your thinking about getting your ast1.

Edit, Will there me backcountry skiing in the camp thing or strictly inbounds?
