    Ski Patrol (also filmed at Snowbird) binding entrance is where you run up to your skis, jump and click into your bindings all in one motion then ski away.

    Doesn’t really work with pivots.

    There are no secrets. Just expect that it will be busy AF and if it isn't, be pleasantly surprised. Gone are the days when you can have a surgical plan that will see you thought. Flexibility is the key. With the exception of the Pioneer, there is always a Plan B or C available. The bottle necks are parking and liftlines.

    Parking - If Plan A isn't working, do something else. If you are early (can't tell you when that is), The Jane is the way. Parking in the garage in town or at Murdoch's in Fraser and taking the express bus is a good way to go.

    Lifts - If you get to the bottom of a lift and the line looks unbearable, get on a different lift. This is the game, you ski away from the CFs, not into them.

    My wife has weekends off and goes out almost everyday no matter what. She claims it is no big deal if you just keep on the move.

    The Transit Center - It is actually awesome. I mean it is a bus station with a brewery and a coffee kiosk with good affordable food, bathrooms, parking, lockers, a ski shop etc.

    Mountain Navigation - Don't read the signs. Look around and see how the dirtbags and patrol get around. Keep your eye open for traverses and routes through the trees. Its not that hard but it is a big different.

    Well if you're someone that has Ikon and skis Jay, it's a win.

    I'll end up with 22-24 days on my Ikon pass so the new price is still a no brainer. Still paying for a local pass as well but didn't get my $ worth this year. Chalk that up as a donation.

    Just found out this week that my wife - a huge John Cusack fan - has never seen it either. Also in the queue for this weekend. But seriously with your username and signature how TF have you not seen it?!

    I experienced a ridiculously crowded day at Snowbasin two years ago, just pre covid. It took place on a weekend after it hadn't snowed in a while and Alta/Snowbird was interloged, but, still, this may not be good for that mountain.

    Oh... I've seen Better Off Dead. Can basically quote it backwards and forwards (sorry about your mom Ricky). The movie I haven't seen is Ski Patrol. Or Ski School for that matter.

    p.s. Throw in One Crazy Summer for a double Cusack comedy night.

    She’s also in the original Bill And Ted movie; one of the two “historical babes”.

    Does anyone know how long the early season price is valid? Looking to capture lowest price at the last possible moment

    Did it go up from last year? Feels more expensive...or I just didn't ski that much this season cuz it didn't snow. Either way I'm not thrilled about buying a pass.
