The nice weather has got me itchin. Where will you ride your DH rig this summer? (assuming that's your poison.) Will it be lift-served? Shuttle? Ride-to/push-to? Travelling around or getting a season pass? Where?
The last two summers I've had a season pass at Attitash and so I've mostly stuck to that. It's been fun but I'm tired of extremely tight fall-line trails. It's time for some flow. If all goes well I'll be rockin' a season pass at Jiminy Peak this summer and will be out there most weekends. So psyched!

Keystone, Vail, Winter Park lift served and some shuttling around the Front Range.
I've got more suits than Liberace, but less than Eastvailhucker.

Make sure to add Bromont to that list. Likely the best on the east coast. (My favorite so far anyways.) Originally Posted by dfinn

Jiminy Peak - after the big lift opens
Plattekill - When I feel like a red neck
Diablo - To hang with Joey
Some other places in there too. If the other mags at Jiminy happen to see a tallish guy on a blue RMX, ask for change.

NO plans, just figure I will hit numerous places all over Colorado, Utah, maybe Wyoming, Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington, hopefully BC, maybe get up to Alaska, since I got peeps up there this summer. Oh and hopefully back east to rip Snowshoe a new one, when I go back for my reunion in August. You know, lift access places for sure, the usual secret stashes, and hopefully lots of new shit. I'll be in Florida in July, but don't think there is much down that way, someone could prove me wrong, might just have to take the DJ there.
A gay-rage full of toys. You can guess em.

Especially considering they might only be melted out for two weeks before it starts snowing again.

Yup, no champ race and talk of running the lifts for skiing through summer. Although I have also heard that the snow is melting down there much quicker than they had anticipated so who knows.
does your dogs ears always look like that or is he ear winking at me?

Same here, except Seymour is more like a 40 min ride. Usually just drive to the Old Buck lot though... Originally Posted by LeeLau

Shuttle - Moab (of course), Nebo loop (Payson), who knows where else?
XC - all over de place! Park City, Moab, Utah County, SL County, etc.
Love summer, love summer, love summer, love summer....This touchy-feely Kumbaya shit has got to go.
