HEADS UP FOR NEXT SEASON PART III

NYC

BIG BEAR RESORTS- BEAR MOUNTAIN and SNOW SUMMIT- CA
I went to high school by these resorts; small mountains and big parks. You can purchase an anytime season pass for both of these mountains that includes night skiing for $559 (You would need to go ten times to break even during the day).  A midweek season pass is $249. A midweek plus Sundays season pass is $349. A night season pass is $129. You can also just purchase season passes for Bear Mountain. Here's the deal- these prices are only available for one day, September 24th, 2011 and you have to go to there and attend the Bear Mountain's 8th Annual Hot Dawgz and Hand Rails Summertime Snowboard Event. If you want to get these passes online they are $50-$100 more online until Dec. 4th, 2011.

TAOS- NM
I always wanted to go here, they just decided to let snowboarders drag their knuckles here- too bad we don't do that anymore (we are way more violent). You can get a season pass for $799 (11 days to break even). You can get a millennium Pass for $575, this pass is good for 70 days ($8.22 a day). They also have this crazy pass I have never seen before: Sundowners Pass- unlimited days after 3PM, it's $100. These deals are available until Oct. 1st, 2011 after that the Season Pass is $999.

WHITEFACE and GORE- NY
I have never been here, but trips are in order. Whiteface has been called Iceface, this mountain is known to be gangster and is home to two Olympic games. Gore is supposed to be equally fun. Season Passes (for both mountains) have been cheaper (earlier in the year), but as of now they are $849. I don't know how much Whiteface tickets are but Gore tickets are $65, so that's 14 times to break even. They also do a transferable pass for $2,250 which anyone can use. If you split that with four people it would be $562 each. This deals need to be purchased before Nov. 15th to get these discounts.

I'm too tired to do more: go buy stuff now

Big Basin- Idaho  I really like mushrooms

THE HAPPENINGS- SQUAW AND BURTON

Squaw contest
So if your mountain is Squaw- write a little something about what brought you to Tahoe and why you chose to rip at Squaw and maybe they will throw you $50 or maybe they will send you a hat or maybe they will laugh at you and you will be shunned on your hill and spiral into a deep depression.

Burton sale- Aug. 26th
The giant Burton warehouse sale is this Fri.-Sun (Aug. 26th-28th). It's in Burlington, VT. This sale is nuts- they just get ride of everything they have from last season. So it's pretty sweet- if you're into Burton. (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=140834492669407)

DISCOUNTS- FOR THE WATER

Vail

FROZEN WATER-

Boreal Reopens for Sat. July 23rd (http://unofficialnetworks.com/boreal-reopening-july-23-woodward-kick-celebration-31397/). It's $25 for park laps from 9AM-2PM. (http://www.borealski.com/winter/index.html) Tahoe was and is the place to be this year.

Get some more park laps in at Timberline (http://www.timberlinelodge.com/conditions/). I think tickets are $36, but then I think a lot of things. (thanks- http://www.facebook.com/OnTheSnowFan?ref=ts&sk=wall)

The Brooklyn VI

THE ATLANTIC OCEAN- FISHING

So going out on your own boat, a friend's boat, or an enemy's boat is always big fun- but charter fishing is also pretty sweet. A good captain and crew will know where the fish are. The crew will help with any sort problem you might have (fishing related- they will not help you with your hoarding problem). This is clutch when you go out for bluefish, because those suckers just bite hooks right off.  We have been out on a bunch of charter boats from Sheepside Bay (Brooklyn, baby), we like The Brooklyn VI (http://www.brooklynvifishing.com/about.cfm). The six hour trips are better; you go out further in the ocean. We went out last Fri. for the full moon from 7PM-3AM. There were five of us- we caught 15 big boy bluefish. It's $20 an hour plus $5 for the pool. They crew will clean your fish for $3 per fish- which is lovely if you have tons of fish.

Ok- go play in the water............................
