AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY GAPING- VAIL


So Vail is über fancy and totally sweet.
Still- I can't help but notice the gaping undertones.............                    
                                            

apparently there were so many people falling down and then peeing themselves that someone had to make this sign



the bowls were closed because elks were having babies


the wind makes you look like a big giant fat person (squatting bear and blanket as cape)


a man hands you Kleenex when you walk in the lodge

DISCOUNTS- PASSES FOR NEXT YEAR AND SOME INSPIRING PHOTOS



Many season passes are cheaper during the summer.

Whiteface and Gore sell a joint season pass- non-holiday is $565 and full season is $720. This deal is good until the 21st of June.  A lift ticket to Whiteface is $57 so after ten times you are riding for free. When you have a season pass at these mountains you can get discounted tickets, tunes, and food. After the 21st of June prices go up. (http://www.whiteface.com/tickets/wf_season.php?utm_source=bronto&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Whiteface+%2F+Gore+Season+Pass+Deadline+Approaching!&utm_campaign=2011)

Squaw has three different types of season passes. You can ride whenever you like with the Gold Season Pass. The Silver Season Pass does not allow you to ski: December 26-31, 2011, January 14-15, 2012, and February 18-19, 2012. The black out dates for the Bronze Season Pass are: December 26-31, 2011, January 14-15, 2012, February 18-19, 2012, and all Saturdays in January and February. The Gold is $699, the Silver is $499, and the Bronze is $399 until June 15th- then prices go up. A lift ticket at Squaw during the regular season is $86 so you ride for 8 days and then you are skiing for free with the Gold pass. (http://www.squaw.com/season-pass)

You can buy an Epic Pass through Breckenridge for $649. An Epic pass is named appropriately because it gives you unlimited days at Breck, Vail, Beaver Creek, A-basin, Keystone, Heavenly, and Northstar. Basically you should sell all your stuff and buy an Epic Pass. If you are a local you can get an Epic Pass for $499, but there are blackout dates.

Ah, Colorado



My girl Carrie commented in her facebook status that it was a powder day. She's in Breck. I began reminiscing about last years CO trip..........





A long time ago, in a land far away there were four ex-Burton sales associates who decided to leave the big city and follow the call of the mountains. On the way there one of them acquired a Ram Zi. Time passed and I became more and more worried about their mental state. So Q and I set out to visit the escapees. We rode Breck. We rode Vail. We rode the Beav. We pretended the elevation didn't effect us. Then we rode Vail some more. All these mountains are within an hour and a half of each other, if it's not a blizzard and you aren't driving a toy car. We were driving a toy car in a blizzard.

These mountains are just a bunch of kids that have been chilling together for a while.

Breck is the bad kid. All my girls worked at Breck. I was on the chair with a 10 year old who was rolling a blunt, I was like, um, give me that- I'm telling your mother! I have a bump problem so I was all about The Burn. (Peak 8 was closed, no snow). Those long rollers are big fun too.

The Beav. is the fat kid. They give you warm cookies at 2pm everyday, c'mon. Our tour guide was a voiceless sushi chief ninja from Queens who showed us the glades. Man, is the vert at the Beav sweeeeeet! Root broke his collar bone. Genna had some fat lady run over her face. Was fun for all.

Then there is Vail, Vail is the smart kid that knows everything, you want to hate him, but then that smart kid writes all your papers and you realize that all you wanna do is chill with the smart kid. Q had his first bump run! Ramz and I rode from one side to the other, front and back. Wildwoooood!
Vail is Mecca. It's 7 miles wide. Bowls and bowls and bowls and then some more bowls. You could ride Vail for a whole season and not cover all of it- Someday I will take that challenge.Ps- for all you Eastcoasters- check this out http://www.rideandskine.com/Home.html. Good discounts and it's something for the kids.......
