Skiing at the Triple Point is definitely a thing

Is the book any good? Mixed reviews on Amazon and, perhaps, dated?

It’s a glorious Holy Saturday. Happy Easter. Hope you and yours are well!

Went up to MSH seeking solitude and what’s this? Party at the summit… and yes it was indeed a glorious day, minus a tragedy. I heard someone got too close to the edge and the cornice broke off and fell into the crater. So sad.

the crown in that last photo is 😮; avalanche ran right into the crater

Wind keeping it all way too firm today
Was really looking forward to warm soft turns even it meant a little glue at the bottom

You could see it at the start of the day

I don't doubt it. I frankly, have enjoyed your posts.

No worries, I am pretty skeptical myself that it's his conspiracy theory, but that turn felt soo good lol, fun to speculate. I ordered the book on paperback to see what's up.

When you finish reading it please report back. The reviews were a bit mixed, so I didn't order it

Soft turns and no wind at Skibowl today. One of these days we are going to get more people to join us. Ghost town.

How quickly in the past do the full access season passes sell out? If they do at all.

Pretty great runs @ the bachelor....

afaik, this is new with the dynamic pricing business on early season pass purchase
notably they don't say what their thresholds are for when prices shift

not sure why they're trying to squeeze the full pass purchasers since those always sell -- i guess they want the cash in hand asap

In the last 6 to 7 years of their pass options, I've never seen an increase before May 31.
I think my son bought his in September and it was still the base price

Spring pass purchased yesterday. Will be skiing there the rest of the week until Sunday. I'm sure that will keep any fresh snow away from Bachy.

Thank you for your sacrifice & consideration of others less fortunate.

It was sticky from the getgo at Meadows today, more so at higher elevation.
And a sign of snow coming in ?

[boar2m]

If Meadows becomes either an Epic local resort like Stevens or a part of Ikon, I could save about $1000. Not that it will ever happen but is that something to wish for? I don’t think Bachelor has gotten any worse by becoming an Ikon resort… at least from my limited experience skiing there.

[TBS]

^^^Joining Ikon created much larger “holiday” crowds at Mt Brokenchair

And it seems like every fucking week from MLK day to mid April has a “holiday” of some sort for some tourista.

And don’t get me started on the ski clubs with their scarves flying off the back of their helmets. Like the two hundred Floridians for 8 days. “Sad” they were mostly pinned down by blizzards that week.

It sucks here - Tell your friends

Y'all just butthurt from that little girl in the Pink bunny suit the ripped by you on Summit.

[SchralphMacchio]

Damn, we missed out on booking an RV site for the Doo for this coming weekend because Snake Run Rally resulted in all the sites being booked! The place was empty after that big storm cycle at the start of March finished through, basically no one in the dry camping lot, they didn’t even fill up the lower lot for most of March! We’ll be missing the last weekend of night skiing I guess. Still hoping to come up for Spring Fling.

Ask the customers and employees how it worked out at Stevens. I didn't have personal experience but heard It was a serious shit show. I'm sure there is a thread here discussing if you want to go spelunking the TGR catacombs.

Not that it will ever happen but is that something to wish for?

Independent has advantages.

[interloper]

Thanks for the turns Alpental riders. We don't have any good skiers around here.

[boar2m]

I’m thinking if Meadows becomes a part of Ikon or Epic, more locals will visit other Epic/Ikon resorts (like Bachelor) than vice versa... like Alppys visiting Bach. It could be a win-win situation.
