[quote=bearishgurl][quote=jstoesz]I have not gotten a season pass yet. I am kind of hoping to maximize the backcountry skiing, and I want to go to some different resorts this winter.
As far as the great MN SD debate, I will link you to our previous thread. If I think about it too much, I get depressed.
For about a week this month, they were running a +/- $400, IIRC “promotion” for it – just a “sign of the times.” (I threw away the msg.)
This pass would have enabled you to access Heavenly, Northstar and five world-class resorts in CO with no blackout dates! All have expensive to VERY expensive day lift tix so it is a tremendous bargain. I didn’t get one because I’m not in a position to enjoy it this winter. But if I knew I could go skiing 5+ days this season, I would have.
Don’t be depressed! You’re in an awesome position enjoy the h@ll out of Lake Tahoe this winter again (even for the day), while the rest of us poor slugs toiling down here in the “glorified desert” have to plan expensive overnights and 2 full days driving to enjoy it at all!
Remember that your “compadres” in MN are stocking up on Bic lighters about now (among other provisions) – so they can “melt” open their stuck screen doors while holding a bag of groceries with the other arm. :=0[/quote]
I bought that pass last year, but I ended up going to sierra at tahoe 90% of the time. I want to get out more. I didn’t ski at squaw or mammoth once. I want to try different resorts, and I got too avalanche cautious cause I could always hit the resort.
For the record, nobody melts crap with a bic…you just pull hard.
Granted I have know a couple people who have pulled the handle right off their door.
