A-Basin skiers can eat a bag of dicks

[Name Redacted]

excellent morning of pow turns, beavers was especially good. kept waiting for a rope drop on Zuma but it didn't happen by 11:30 and things were getting pretty heavy by then and the sun was making an appearance so I bailed. not sure if it was wind related or what but patrol did seem pretty busy around that time tending to people wrecking in the heavy snow.

Haven’t been up in a few weeks. Is Pali and steep gullies still open?

[Skistack]

Pali yes, SG no.

EW still open too but patrol hadn't been there yet before I left. today is last day for beavers

[Leshphilling77]

pali terrain and international not open today. guessing those are done for the season and pali chair not far behind. Thinking tomorrow is the last day?

Did a couple east wall hikes to narrow north and the skiing is really fun up there right now

That was what I was told today.

Hoping EW holds out through next weekend.

They close all the steep stuff and put up a rope so you can't do the old King Cornice to West Wall jump run. Place used to be so much fun in May and June on a good snow year, even after Pali and the East Wall close. I bet the pond skim is next to die.

Shit's weak.

[The SnowShow]

Pali’s officially closed for the season.

[Leshphilling77]

quality of the snow on standard had deteriorated quite a bit from yesterday, they ended up closing it by like 11 or so. east wall was really fun again but idk how much faith I have in that going much longer. groomers were a lot of fun at the right times of day. Abasin is still fun.

EW is done

EW is done

I skied some cold snow on north pole proper on Friday. It was glorious.

It is a shame that they rope the shit out of the place the first time it gets warm. It would be nice if they could at least manage some of the stuff for corn skiing (open in the morning, close it early to mid afternoon depending on the freeze).

Aren't most of the patrollers either in Moab ridin' their bikes or Mexico gettin' their taco on?

[The SnowShow]

Has anyone heard about the specifics of the “bike pass”. Is A-Basin running Lenawee this summer as a bike haul?

[summit]

Patroller told me it's just a "please come and sign this liability waiver" pass. I'll do that!

[The SnowShow]

Oh. Do you get an armband or something?
Do they allow e-bikes on their trails? Just curious.

[summit]

Dunno
Technically no but yes?

[Leshphilling77]

last years was an armband with a pass. I do find it interesting I have seen the bike pass listed in the summer activities pass they are selling

From an A-Basin email this morning:

24/25 Ikon and Parking Pass Updates
Things that we can say confidently:
--For the 2024-25 season, Ikon pass access will remain unchanged with 5 days on the base pass or 7 days on the Full Ikon Pass.
--A-Basin Parking Passes for the 2024-25 Winter Season will go on sale July 9 at 10 am for $150, covering all parking fees. Available exclusively to 2024-25 A-Basin Unrestricted Season Pass Holders, these passes are limited. Even with a parking pass, you will still need to create your reservation online in-advance.

Great news on the Ikon front at least. Fuck parking reservations.
