Holy shit. Lol

Never change Adironrider. That was a glorious post.

Look, I hated the lift. Most people did. Was it "objectively" the worst lift in the country? No, because there are thousands of lifts. You can't say "objectively worst" about any lift. That would be hyperbole. The word you were looking for is "subjectively".

This concludes our lesson in language usage.

The chairs and plenty of other components I'm sure were fine to be reused. I only made that specific lift suggestion because it's a recently removed lift in New Hampshire and Whaleback is also in New Hampshire and in need of a new to them lift. Pat's Peak has done a great job at sourcing old lifts to refurbish. I don't think they've ever bought a new one in fact. It would be great if more smaller areas such as Whaleback, were equally as successful in doing similar. Big companies such as Vail could help with that.

You sound like a flat earther or a climate change denier. Sure there are some wack jobs that think that way, but they are idiots. Don't be an idiot.

Just added a combined 10 days to Salbach and Hintertux in Austria to the Epic Pass resort options.

Reading the write up on the Storm Skiing journal, combined, these 2 resorts have 540+ miles of trails and over 200 lifts!

5 days at Söldon, Austria, where the Worldcup race circuit kicks off in late October for the last decade plus, is now on the Epic pass

A reminder to not get your hopes up with this month long rain storm. Still plenty of time for a drought that Wildcat will blame their 2025-36 snowmaking woes on.
We won't really know until late December when they fire up the snowmaking

It's kind of like Vladimir Putin's trajectory--President, then steps aside to be Prime Minister, then comes back as President! :ROFLMAO:

The Rob Katz Memes shall continue I guess. ;)
Perhaps he never wanted to step down, but with his wife being sick...

I wonder how pass sales/vacation booking are looking? I'm guessing not too good but good ol rob Katz to the rescue. I'm sure they get a quick stock pump out of this

Big bump after hours, touched 170. I don't think it will last.
