Snowbird and Solitude were amazing this year. Spent a week there riding. I’m from Cedar City originally so Brain Head used to be the thing but last year it wasn’t great and we skipped it this year.

lol gotta get back into man! I love it too though seriously. But I can do with out all the crowds that have been at the mountains lately. It’s been getting pretty packed. But it’s a good way for the kiddos to learn how to turn and brake lol!

I wish I had the time to get back into it. We have some pretty decent mountains close to us (Gore, Whiteface, etc.) but it’s so damn expensive nowadays. I’m gonna take the kids though and see if they like it.
Dude you ain’t wrong…. It’s so damn expensive!!!! Biggest reason we do the IKON pass cause **** paying 200 bucks for a single day lift pass.

20mins later i get the call.
I ski up the scene and here is 400lbs of non skiing whale with one leg pointing about 90 degrees the wrong way and i said out loud "oh for ****s sake this is party now"

We were required to do that on snowboards. Also all instructors were required to be proficient in lift evacuation. The animosity that volunteer ski patrol had towards all snowboarders and snowboard instructors was palatable. I rolled and totalled a f350 trying to avoid hitting a car that slid through a stop sign, in front of the lodge. A volunteer ski patroller first on the scene was shouting he could smell alcohol. Fellow ski and snowboard instructors extricated me from the truck and took me to my house to clean up. Then I went out to party and go to the police station the next morning. Nothing happened though. That accident and injuries played a part in me meeting my bride of 26 years, so that was good. The comradery on the mountain was great, but to old for that life now!
I never did any downhill skiing. I'm pretty sure I'd end up in a wheelchair if I did. Have done a lot of cross country skiing though. When I was a kid we lived a mile from a golf course so in the winter we would go there. It was fun, had plenty of hills too.
Cross country skiing is a awesome, if you're good and have the stamina. Trail day skiing in the woods is a great back to nature experience. Always wanted to set up a winter deep woods camp, just never could convince any females.
We have a couple boaders on our patrol...they are good peeps and just just like giving em shit lol.
One actually tele skis a lot too so he really given it back us non tele guys lol
My team always goes out and parties after we are done for the night, and we always bring in a dish to pass etc during the day...the other 2 teams are no fun lol
When my kids were young, we told them if they snowboard they have to change their last name.
Props to you ski patrol guys, that is tough work.
We ski Whistler and this year there were a lot of east coasters up there because, as they said, "there's no snow out east".
