Where is everyone spending their winter at?

For me:

I'll be skiing and on my mono ski at Alta and Park City. Got a season pass for both this year.


Heads up to the military crowd; Active, retired, Veterans, and their depends get a killer deal on the Epic pass.

Found out about this today. Military Passes | Epic Season Pass
 
Vail bought out local ski area, made it all corporate, jacked up the price, thus driving the locals out. The shitbirds from NYC and NJ can have that over priced place because that's the market of shitty skiers they're bringing in.

Every business here has "no ski boots inside" on the door. That's how retarded these people are.
 
I'm headed to Whitefish the first week of March. It'll be my first time there. Normally we only get to ski once per year.

Clickbait....


Very suspicious.🤔
 
Awesome for you guys in the mountain areas!
My kids grew up with us skiing multiple times a week at the local ski resorts in downstate MI. We have four local within 15-30 minutes. They aren't much in the scope of things but it beats sitting on the couch wishing for something better. Both of my kids because ski instructors and one of them ended up at Keystone as a Level I instructor. During the heyday, our family was skiing 3-4 days a week. Once they graduated and got married, the wife and I kinda faded away from skiing.

Ironically I am retiring this year and we decided to buy seasons passes for 3 of the local resorts plus a couple in northern MI. It's not mountain skiing but will hopefully get us some good exercise.
 
Haven't strapped the boards on in a long time, so just looked up lift ticket prices for Heavenly. $189 for weekday and $225 on the weekends. Fucking helll!

When my kids were young enough to both be child passes, our season passes for the three of us were under $1k/year. Now that my daughter is "youth" we're up to about $1.2k/year for three passes. Roughly 3 days at single day counter rate pays for a season pass.

When I was living in NorCal a season pass was only good at one resort, the multi-location pass makes a lot more sense.
 
It's winter 8 months a year, somewhere not -40*
 
The local hills are fun for teaching kids and friends. Been tossing around the idea of getting a set of telemark skis set up and trying my hand at that. But I have no clue where to start. And with size 15 shoes its not so simple to find used equipment.

Probably head over to Bridger or Big Sky at some point this year.
 
I gave up on skiing/snowboarding a couple decades ago. It was my primary hobby when I was a kid/teenager, but moved further from the mountains for college and we had some bad winters and it got more and more expensive.

Now I have a 5 year old son, and I want him to have that opportunity, so it's forcing me to ski a couple times a year. Last year we did a spring day at Snow Summit. I can see ending up at Heavenly because we have friends with kids that ski there. If it's up to me we're going somewhere cheaper. What's the good resort to teach your kids at in NorCal that's cheaper than Northstar/Heavenly? Sugar Bowl? Bear Valley?

One of these years I'll get a multi mountain pass, I want to go to steamboat and big sky both but winter park is a 2 hour each way day trip. Copper is 2.5+ hours, which is doable, most others are farther out.

Been a long time since I was in Sacto, but Sugar Bowl, Donner and Sierra at Tahoe were all cheaper than Heavenly or Squaw by a big margin.
Kirkwood used to be reasonable as well.
 
Yeah, I skied all those places back in the 90s as a kid and have good memories. Not sure which ones are shit holes now. Heck, they may have been shit holes then, but it was what my parents could afford and I didn't know any different.

If my only goal is to get my kid as many days as he wants, Boreal might be the move. $629 for my season pass, includes one 12 and under season pass. Yes it's a tiny mountain, but I remember riding there as a kid and enjoying it. That's a next year thing if the kiddo shows more interest in it this year.

From memory, Sugar Bowl is the biggest and most diverse terrain of any of the "cheaper" mountains.
 
Snowmobiling in the deep and not missing lift lines and all the powder being gone before lunch.

When I was a NorCal kid the Tahoe go-to was Homewood, then my teen years it was bear valley.
 
Gore is my home for glades. Stopped being a park rat years ago so mainly trees and anything I can launch

Says the guy who just joined IBB.

Edit: I'll humor you though. I skied PC for many years (had a season pass there 4+ years), spent most of my time around the Jupiter area. Then got an AltaBird pass, skied many of the notable lines there (main chute at Baldy, poop chute at the Bird, etc). Comma chute and East Devils Castle are on my bucket list (probably won't make it there this year). Maybe 1 trip to Brian Head is all I'll be able to do this year.
