VAIL SUCKS

[cdskier]

Nah...the memes are still hilarious.

The memes and negativity in this thread have gotten really old.

I tried mentioning this in post 9,999 of this thread, the only thing that I got out of it was a bunch of crap. I did get my jazzy new avatar out of the exchange! Nothing else has changed in 700+ additional posts.

Guys, the thread title is Vail Sucks. Maybe start a separate thread titled “Vail is kinda satisfactory actually”

Exactly. What is the saying about the definition of insanity?

But is she doing a better job? Remains to be seen......

at a minimum she has a MUCH MUCH MUCH less punchable face. I just want to punch Katz. Regardless of anything else than he just looks like a douche.

Hmmm, lots of punching talk in threads these days. Maybe everyone should come to NJ this weekend to enjoy some indoor bump skiing. Get your anger out on the bumps 15 bumps at a time (maybe 20 if we're lucky).

Poached the Cat today, No one around at all

eh it's internet fodder about a dude who seemingly has a ton of self absorbed photos of himself that are easy to use as memes

Little more anger in the Wyoming thread.

If he can skin Stowe 4 times in 8 or 9 hours that about 9500.

Do you know how long that would take? Any you're doing it tons of days in a row??!?!?

I call BS.

FYI, Rob Katz is currently the Executive Chairman of the Board of Vail Resorts (i.e. the person who can fire Kirsten Lynch, "the boss").

To me 1K an hour doesn't sound unreasonable considering the guy has devoted his entire life to doing basically nothing but skinning. Probably gets faster every day. Just gotta watch out for injuries, whether from accidents or overuse. And the 8-9 hours doesn't have to be in a row. Lots of time in the day when you're only focused on one thing.

I'm guessing he's also figured out what the most efficient pathways up the hill, not necessarily the most direct pathway up the hill is for him day in and day out under various conditions.

If you take most any extreme endurance athlete (and I will lump him into that category for attempting this) they almost always have learned how to best optimize the output they can get from their bodies over long durations

Why ski indoors when you can ski bumps on superstar for real?

It must be nice to have all that free time.....

Outdoor skiing? Yuck!

Hopefully in a couple weeks.

Some people just have crazy endurance. Have you seen the Last Man Standing competition at BMOM? The winner this year made it 76 straight hours uphilling once an hour to the top and down. That comes out to 114 miles and 91,200 ft of climbing the Allagash trail in just over 3 days. Insanity.

I thought once i moved near stowe i would try skinning...never happened. But since all my skis have AT bindings...there is hope.
