No seriously, Santa brought me good friends this holiday season -- that's priceless.
 
He brought me a free trip to whistler, where I subsequently spent 600 bones on my fiancee's new custom boot liners and footbeds.

Should I rat you out for not declaring those? :troll:

(And with a birthday like that one, you'll forever feel tapped at the end of the year and the kid will forever feel ripped off. :lol: )

Wrong thread...you should have posted this in the So What Did the Stork bring you? thread.

Congrats!!! :mrgreen:


...and sorry to tell you, but Admin is probably not far off with the last line of his post.

For certain on the first one (see below). and maybe on the second - He's got a cousin born Dec 1st in Rochester, NY that we might do some sort of time shift dual birthday birthday wise in the 'critical' birthday years or etc... (other random ideas go here), or somehow make it fun and unique for him.

We'll it didn't fit in any other existing thread :) ... and Thanks.


Been absent from the boards except a little bit of reading of others threads at times for a couple weeks now. We got the :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( 8-[ 8-[ 8-[ 8-[ 8-[ out of us as he came pre-packaged with pneumonia in his lungs and had to spend 9 days in NICU (so he's already a very expensive little guy, Admin #-o :lol: ). Totally fine now and at home with mom & grand parents.
 
Congratulations!

After writing a Greek Peak TR especially for EMSC, I was disappointed that he didn't post any Big Al comments.

No time, of course.

My fav of your GP TR was the pic of the "not responsible for grease falling on you" sign at the ticket window...

Yep (and I mentioned it immediately afterward to Sharon on the lift) -- that was my Xmas gift to you.

I'm sure you know... how long has that sign been there? I don't recall seeing anything remotely similar at any other ski area, because that immediately conveys an obvious infrastructure problem.
:?
 
James,

The worst part of it is that the sign is no bull. We skied there after a wet 6 inches or so with it warming above freezing and we literally got covered in that crap raining down from us on the lift. Thus, not only did Wolf Creek cost $7 less to ski at that Greek Peak, but we did not get grease rained on us.

That's the real reason to move out west O:) .

The sign is 'relatively new'. At least in GP standards where hardly anything ever changes. The sign has been there for something like 6-8 years now. Before that if you went to complain they would basically get into an argument with you, their customer, about how they would not pay to have your clothing cleaned. I'm sure they finally got sued in small claims court a few times or something so that they ended up with that sign.

So called "Grease-less shivs" (the wheels on lift towers are shiv's) have been around for a long time now - at least a couple decades. But those might cost a few hundred bucks a tower to replace.
 
Big Al recently mentioned in an interview that they're talking about letting guests wear soiled ski clothes into the new water park (all pools are outfitted with a special degreasing agent).

Actually, they are sheaves (but pronounced "shiv"). A shiv, otoh, is a slang term for a knife used as a weapon, particularly switchblades and razors.
