East Coast Roll Call 23/24_The Guns Are Blowing

I don’t doubt it’s capable. Today it was 11 min Magic time which is fine by me.

Lots of parents with kids etc Bucket. Makes for some comedy from time to time. Fixed grip. Got to have them all ready

[Aldo]

So ready

[buttahflake]

Really stoked to see that lift in action. Good on you Magic tribe.

Sad news out of Stowe, sounds like a tree collision accident to me.

I snuck out this pm after a family weekend. I was hoping to discover I didn’t miss much, but I was wrong.

Luckily there was still plenty of fluff for me.


So good I had to head out by headlamp. The crust was a fucker but well worth the protected aspects snow.

Great shots and motivation Laps. Is it just me or does anybody else see an image in the sun? Maybe too many margaritas.

Good to see the lift spinning down there at smuggs south.

^^ shouldn't the beginners really be riding the *green*?
in any case glad the chair is finally online!
looking forward to checking if out.

Beginner’s should probably not ski Red Line but they do. All the time.

does anyone have a 20+ year old touring setup with naxos or something they’re never going to use again that i could pass along? maybe i’ll bless him because this shit is so goofy.

How about a Liberty helix w atomic trackers? These have been collecting dust for a few seasons and most of my time is spent on the magic carpet these days. 182, I think 105 at the waist and small trackers. No skins though, I gave those to my brother in law. I could get them up to sugarbush next Friday. Trade for beer/whiskey?

Did I see it right? Kmart spring pass add-on for IKON is $199? That’s freaking awesome, let’s party.

Beats the $360 for the rest of us. I get it that it’s good for 8-10 weeks and it adds a solid 5-6 weeks beyond when all other resorts close but the price has risen dramatically over the years.

What's that work out to in terms of mid-season retail tickets? Like one and a half?

Apples to orangutans.

Even K reduces day ticket prices come late April and May. That being said, the pass still likely has a break even of around 5 days depending on when you go.

[buckethead]

it's gotten pricier but the last 2.5 mos at costs me what i pay for day tix on a 3-4 pow day stretch mid-season,

last spring was phenomenal weather wise so ultimately i paid under $18 a day for my pass. triple that is still a steal these days. that said i used to come in around $11 a day at previous $249.

and K's reduced day tix are still pretty pricey for most of the season after mid march

aaaaaand:

Pretty sure that is midweek only. Good for you, but not me.
edit, i think I misread that. Commas are important
That is a great deal. I thought it would go up and instead it is cheaper.

I thought you guys confirmed this would be the best winter in what..., 20-30 years?

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Yep, $199 upgrade for any Ikon Pass (near as I can tell). In like Flynn.

Is this true?

If so, who here is responsible for spreading this disinformation?

someone from out west claimed this for the northeast in this thread, early in the season.

[buckethead]

^^ yup, jinxed us, got our snow, i bet.

next season our thread title must cleverly exact revenge

[Timberridge]

May a swarm of New England's hungriest black flies land on these westerners.

[buckethead]

i like it!

maybe add "and bring your snow east, one fluffy flake at a time"

[Brownski]

Not for nothing but I feel like spirits have remained pretty good around here- in spite of everything. Whining has been kept to a minimum
