Pandemic Breck Recs

What!?!? What!?!?

Benny, that’s the “Top Gun of the Slopes” one of the greatest stories ever told. Two guys from Mt Brighton Michigan ditch their mediocre lives in Detroit in search of love, fame and the Powder 8’s Championship.

I’m talking about a little place where the water flows like wine, where the women flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

I’m talking about Aspen Extreme

Benny, how do you not know of the greatest ski movie ever to be made? For shame...

Don't forget the coke. They came for the fun, and stayed for the drugs...

Are you Steve?

If you don't need PSIA level III and the fry station isn't too busy, you might be able to get Blurred to take the kids for a bit.

Don't know about ski school. Killington has basically cancelled most lessons. My buddy who teaches snowboarding there says it's almost impossible to teach beginners to a little better safely.

As of now ski schools are still open. We were leaning towards private/semiprivate with just our two kids to limit contact. Everyone else is good to go.

Are you Steve?

Maybe he's Steve?

Keystone is fine, although, one problem. You're forced into a gondola at the base, which will be a choke point.

There is a high speed quad that runs parallel to the gondola. There is usually a line for the Gondola, but I've never seen much of a line for the quad. I ski there 1-4 days a season with some friends who have a condo, usually on weekends.

Keystone is not great. At all. But similar to Wolf Creek untracked snow is easily found in the trees because all the Texans and Mexicans won't ski there. Unlike Wolf Creek, however, the tree shots are not quite as easy to find (although not difficult by any stretch) and a good bit of that tree skiing faces South, so it gets baked. But if you catch a storm and you have a kid who is ready for some moderate to low angle tree skiing, you could have a great day.

Plus Abasin is only 6 miles away. You could have your kid in ski school at Keystone while you ski Abasin, but the cell service mostly sucks so if you got a call about a problem you might not get the message for a while. On the other hand, ski school existed before cell phones.

Do you know Steve, The Steve, Stevie D?

If the latter, Keystone is fine, although, one problem. You're forced into a gondola at the base, which will be a choke point.

There's also the Summit Express chair that runs parallel to the gondola. It's a little bit uphill, but not far and it's a faster lift than the gondie.

Have you seen this? Blurred may have more time on his hands than we're aware of.

I, for one, welcome our new robo-fry overlords.

When you pay $25 for your mid-mountain fries this winter, don't forget to tip the poor robot making them who is sleeping 4-robot-dudes deep in a studio apartment 15 miles outside of the resort just so he can live the dream while you and your ungrateful families pretend they and their whole class of ski town robot working class don't exist.

Kids are new to the sport but very hungry. I recall that River Run Gondola (and more specifically the run under it) being a total goat rodeo.

There are SO many fucking goat-rodeo's at Keystone it's not even really funny. And I'd wager NONE of those goat-rodeo's have improved in the last decade (which may be how long it has been since I've skied at Keystone).

Nope.

Okay - that right there might win the internetz today.

ABasin is a favorite of mine as well, but may not be in the cards this trip since the days I'll be off skiing with my buddy I'll have to be the one dropping off/picking up from ski school.

“Goat rodeo” is a kind way to put it.

If robots can make fries, perhaps they can teach skiing?

If robots take over the ski school that leaves more of that sweet ski town action like Bryce and her friend for the rest of us mere mortals

Whelp, good thing I don't have any progeny and rarely, if ever, ski Summit County...

For realz, though; nicely done. I lulzed

[Benny Profane]

Those robots were promised solid middle class truck driving jobs, but now it's just making fries. Soon they'll rise up and vote in their Trump robot leader and really show us who's boss.

But can they salt the fries too?

The ski town fry cook robot wears many hats. Yeah, he fries the fries. But he also drives the Summit Stage on Tuesday evenings. He bumps chairs Friday mornings and Monday mornings. He drives a plow when he can for his roommate. The fucker works. Not that any of you ingrates would see that. He just makes the damn fries and skis all the time in your eyes.

Assholes.

And yeah, he can salt the fuckers too.

[m2711c]

mmm....salty.

[Name Redacted]

Summit is saturated to the point of herd mentality. Should be fine by the holidays, just gotta get it out of (or into) our system.
