$100 lift tickets…I’d be thrilled to find them that cheap. Had an $8 beer this year.

Oops am I out of touch? I just have my Nakiska peasant pass.

Apparently Kicking Horse is 175 for a weekend pass. Wow.

I have a season pass at Deer Valley. Right now, I'm at $35.84 per day. I'm at $59 a day at Park City. I can't affect the numerator, so I focus on the denominator.

But MUH carbon footprint. We dropped our consumer carbon tax yesterday, so now when I drive to the resort it makes winter go away.

Seriously though. I'm really envious of folks that live in SLC. Google says 40 mins to skiing? I guess there's the traffic variable

SLC is an ok place to live I guess. Better if you're a Mormon. My commute to ski is 20-25 min to my private parking space that is 100yds (91.4 meters) from the lift.

Hope you don’t have to push one of those VW’s home from a day of fun at Nakiska Mr. LHartley but if you do your carbon footprint is dramatically reduced. Hell of a great workout for you too, you’ll have legs of steel after the couple of days pushing is done.

Wooly 12- I assume the parking spot is a fee as well? They have them in Fernie but I kinda like the walk to where I toss my skis on, nice 3 minute warm up to get the blood flowing…although it’s usually a 5ish minute shuffle back to the truck at the end of the day…

I have AMA, you can't troll a troll

Yep, my son's driveway. When the snow was right, I could put skis on at the car and skate to the lift.

"Two groups of skiers had just finished skiing the bowl and were waiting in a staging area below the tree line of Clute Creek water shed. A transport helicopter was nearing the group when the pilot observed an avalanche and sounded the siren," the RCMP said in a news release.

One group of skiers was able to get out of the way but the other group of four was swept away into the tree line, RCMP said.:

Cant help but think the heli potentially caused this Avi

RIP

Not a solo incident
