32 days. 4 new areas skied (all out west). Rain definitely did not help. I had a chance to hit Jay last week but I blew it. I’m done. Considering the weather, I had a good number of pow days (maybe 10) so won’t complain too much. Last day was the eclipse so that was cool. 04Dec23, BW, Kore 93...

Yes, corrected, thanks. With that injury, I think pants would have been only mildly helpful.

A friend once showed me pictures of an injury he sustained on the alpine slide when crashing somehow. A giant road rash on his leg, looked more like a motorcycle injury. I’d never ride that thing after seeing that pic.

Towards the end of the season, I pulled the trigger on Stockli Stormrider 95s. Got them on 6” of pow and some spring snow. They live up to the hype, like the Laser AXs I bought a couple of seasons ago. I’d never try to convince someone to spend the $ on them because you’ll get great skis for a...

Why lol? I don’t know much about them.

I tired of it eventually. I’ll never go back to sticks, but it’s fun when I get one on a rental car traveling internationally. Makes the experience extra weird.

I’ve been holding out on buying due to indecision and still don’t see when prices increase. I called them (they picked up right away) and was told “that date hasn’t been determined yet“. Don’t remember a ski company being wishy-washy about this before.

I had 5 manual stick cars in a row in my 20s and that’s pretty much how I drove.

Finally finished both parts of this interview. I’m unfamiliar with Mark Johnson but I couldn’t help but feel bad for Stenger towards the end of it. Johnson just kept asking over and over how Stegner didn’t know, and finally at one point admits “I’m not a finance guy but…” Based on this interview...

Can you expand on the “teeth”? Not sure what that means.

Back when my wife worked at Cranmore (over a decade ago) I think they did employee ski day there also.

Not me, but this vid from a travel couple I watch (Kara and Nate, they’re the best) has some recent info about it that I found interesting. Worth a watch.

Not a plant, a dealership.

From the Epic Pass site, I’m not seeing when prices go up. Can somebody tell me so that I know the date is when I hate myself for buying something from Vail?

Traffic on 93 from Littleton to Concord was fine this morning, although I wished Polly’s Pancakes was open today. Just over 2 hours door to door.
