I really dont want to drive west for skiing and spend money but I've got six weeks coming up and might have to bite the bullet if things dont shape up.

Cannon is skiing great right now. I think you might need to get your ticket in advance though fyi. They are selling out daily. I'm hoping tram opens Friday but not sure

yup, i reserved a few days ago. from what i have read they are the best game in town right now: - got snow when everyone else got ice; - have 50%+ terrain open; - are limiting tix severely and people are saying lines have been non existant

i think i may have goofed tho reserving cannon thurs and planning waterville fri. i have never been to waterville but I'm told its more hectic than cannon, so i maybe should have used the non holiday thursday there. whatever tho, its a few min closer to home

indy+ pass is working out good for me. I'll use these 2 black-out days this weekend, i have saddleback/cannon planned for MLK, and i will be at silver mountain Idaho over presidents weekend. that's totally worth the extra $100 to me

6 weeks of skiing the east? You're tough.

Six weeks of no work. I can pick.and choose my days but if the skiing is decent I'll ski most of them

It’s been going off out here.

i've been pretty jealous seeing the scenes. usually i am out west leading up to xmas and then come home when my pass gets blacked out. this year we had long overdue visit with girlfriends fam from 12/22-27. the sort of saving grace is that the snow didn't really arrive til 12/24 so had i planned an ikon trip i would have had a week of garbage and then nuketown the day i left. but i do have an indy+ pass this year which gets me holiday access. anyway, jealous and happy for you and everyone else reaping this storm cycle

Oh I've been watching.

I don't want to fly right now and I want the flexibility of my car. I've got places to sleep and thinking either a tahoe/western Colorado thing or just crested butte for an easier drive. It's been a couple years and I'm craving. Girlfriend will get over it lol

6 weeks is plenty of time to go out by car.

It’s not very often that the Butte gets this kind of snow this early in the season.

I’m mostly stoked to see moisture of any kind really. The drought ain’t no joke out here.

I spent four years in Jackson, 98-02. Each one was a 100+ day season and I skied my ass off. I can’t afford it anymore, I can probably still get some free passes and have a place to crash at but at this age and with a daughter that’s not how I want to roll and besides, those crowds kind of ruin it for me.
