Just got here at noon. 60s feel nice after last week. Probably stay on the box for another hour or so then head over to Supe. I'm easy to spot. Marchand jersey.

This has always perplexed me so I went poking around on Google Earth tonight to see what the actual elevation and vertical are. They claim their vertical is 1180'. In actuality the summit chair vertical is 920'. Maybe if you ski to the bottom of the carpet? No, that only adds 25 feet. Maybe if...

Oh yes I remember that one. I went down Green Beret about 15-20 mins after said event and thankfully didn't get stuck in any mud 😒

My stepfather always told stories about the "attitash rash" haha

You must be referring to the alpine slide? If so...long pants!

North Ridge Quad added to the menu for this weekend. Based on the webcam, they groomed Double Dipper which kind of sucks but it'll bump right back up anyway. Also heard that they groomed Ovation yesterday, which also kind of sucks but they also took the opportunity to fill in the return back to...

There's almost no blowback to that announcement on Facebook. So the folks who care about their summer operations have either been sufficiently chased away by Vail, or maybe the coaster and zip lines weren't that good there? I've always heard about the legendary alpine slides there and...

I hate it. It's so sterile and bland. It gets insanely hot inside with any kind of sun. The astronomical prices for food are totally needless even by ski area standards. I used to actually like the old KBL. It was way too small for where it was, but it kind of felt homey in a weird way. I...

I mean I'm saving over $400 switching from regular Ikon to Epic Local for next year so I guess that would be a wise thing to spend the savings on. I work about 7 minutes from Strands and have been in there before once or twice. Has anyone here been to Strands for boots that has a good (or bad)...

I have flat feet too, so even more reason to follow through with custom footbeds. I'm sure a lot of the pain is due to me being an out of shape fatass but trying custom footbeds I hope will make a difference.

Might have to look into that!

I did at first and then they were fine for a while. It's kind of gotten worse the last few years (probably because I've been skiing a lot less) but I also never go to Wachusett anymore and don't have a pass. Plus after 7 years not sure how much they could do.

As someone who rarely buys new equipment, I need some advice here from folks who do so more often... I think I need new boots before next year. I bought my current boots early in the 2017-18 season as my old boots (which were almost 15 years old) were starting to fall apart. My old boots NEVER...

:ROFLMAO:

Officially one more weekend of the Gondi! Looks a lot warmer and sunny this weekend so might have to back the trek.
