There are some jackasses selling the individual coupons on ebay. Anything for a buck!

I like snowboards, i just like them better when they aren't around

no real issues except for the side scraping down the hill, sitting in the middle of a trail and some of the other isses that have have been mentioned, but to each his own, at least they are outside experiencing mother natures....IMOP, there is nothing sweeter than a snowboarder who knows what they are doing and can lay down some lines (esp the hardbooters)....there was something nice about skiing mrg and deer valley w/o boarders though....

Reminder tomorrow (12/13) is Okemo's "cares and shares" day. A few cans of food, or toy, or new clothing, gets you a lift ticket for $25.00. Probably a day of "fast" groomers. My son Mike and I are heading up just to get outside for the day....................

Not sure what this has to do with skiing on the cheap. And I think that skiers bother snowboarders as much snowboarders bother skiers. I've seen skiers be just as rude as everyone feels snowboarders are but for some reason it'll still be the boarders that are the rude ones. I guess thats what comes with the younger sport that more younger people like. Can't we all get along? I wouldn't mind a skier free mtn though so i could see what thats like from the boarder side...

I asked someone at the ski show about it and they said they were discontinuing that promotion. I guess they finally realized that all it did was give away a lot of free tickets without much in return. Maybe the first couple years it brought some new people to the mountain but after a few years I don't see where they would benefit from it anymore.

Thats disappointing for me cause I will be there this friday before 10:30 and I do not drive a hybrid. I wonder if its one ticket per car or if its for everyone in the car. Either way i'm jealous.
