    Indy Ski Pass

    The GEMs card seems to keep the smaller colorado ski areas together. Plus im sure they dont need much more traffic that INDY would provide given plenty of CO skiers go to these areas to escape the mega crowds.

    Hickory Ski Center: Back From The Dead?

    Strange news from Hickory, if there's no lift there'll be some kind of vehicle to get you up there. "Running a ski season without lifts is certainly a challenge and our exploration of alternatives has provided us with a new Hickory partner. We are working with and autonomous vehicle company...

    Mt Snow 21-22 Season

    They lost 20 trails since Monday when I was there. The base looked good along the cascade side and north face but lows in 50s must of killed it. I was hoping for the main mountain Sunday but now it looks like I'll have to skin up.

    Betsy Pratt 3/12/28 - 3/17/23

    I remember an interview where they asked her about grooming , her one word response was "Boring". Then they asked her about the single chair and she said the Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883 and they still use that, so there's no reason to replace the single chair. Classic.

    Skiology Matt in Litigation
