Assuming United based on the originating airport? Sounds more like the seats you get on Frontier than any of the mainline airlines... It's too bad you had that experience, as I realized very early on in my long distance travelling that 'he who sleeps most, wins' when it comes to flying those...

Oh the irony. First day after ABasin closed for the season...

It's a lift that makes total sense. At the same time, I've had some amazing runs in Cedar Bowl due to the low re-lap capability that many folks won't bother with in its current configuration.

I look at that and say "yes, but..." . My understanding is Taos may have had to stop operating as normal without having gotten the lifeline of Ikon. It was in pretty deep financial trouble at the end of it's long unique/cult run under the Blake family. What worked for them for decades had...

ABasin is being a bit annoying this year. They have extended for yet another weekend next weekend. Should be interesting for them as this week looks toasty, in the 80s on the flatlands. So they may not get any freezing overnight.

I thought the lol would give it away as me joking about it; not being serious. How do you define 'cult-ish' places. In my mind it's not about places with terrain and quality that the immediate locals like and is potentially 'worthy'. I would think Cult following means significant numbers of...

I would have thought Killington would be in the Eastern list - at least as a runner-up. I think your inclusion of Gore for example is biased based on Harvey being so front and center on NYSblog. General population is far less cultish about Gore for example. Maybe they mean AltaBird as one...

I just cancelled my Opensnow subscription which was set for a late June auto-renewal. $49.99 for just me was definitely not going to happen. I struggle to justify the $15 per year I paid last June frankly. I also have no desire to run around lining up 3 other people to share a subscription with...

Not that there is much of anything open, but ABasin literally during the day yesterday decided that they will re-open for Fri-Sun May 8-10. A LOT of that has to do with recent cool storms leaving moderate amounts of new snow plus an expected big storm again this week Tues-Wed should provide...

As we all already knew I'm the King of FTO for that this season. Three big 6-10day trips cancelled amongst other plans. I got exactly one day of snowboarding in at Copper on the last day of Nov. Though half of that was actually spent watching Mikaela Shiffrin win a World Cup SL. Gotta...

ABasin had a season to forget. To my knowledge not even lower East Wall opened. They barely got Zuma bowl open for a few weeks in March before it melted back out. Pali terrain was open and I heard was even decent for a month+ of the season. But no North Pole, no Gullies and not even the steepest...

Not a surprise for this horrid season. Colorado will be closed for skiing after this Sunday May 3... Currently only Copper and Abasin are open. Abasin will be closing at least a month earlier than normal/plan.

Look at the small text under #3 and tell me the author has no clue how statistics and math even works...

Are all obscenely priced at the Vail destination resorts. No idea how you push on those at all. I could see some additional uptake on things like their retail and ski rental/delivery services, but even that will most likely be among the top tier of wealthy skiers component not the broad based...

As I keep telling friends back east, etc... it's not the worst season just barely. Its the worst by a very long shot that is not even close to 2nd worst. Interestingly, the average temp in Denver so far in April is identical to the average temperature from the whole month of March. But it is...

Not just stocks. Actual visitation and usage patterns and etc... for various recreation activities has dramatically realigned since ~2022. Huge shifts in how people access and how long they do outdoor activities, etc... have occurred in the past 4 years. 2021 and 2022 were like shooting fish...

+1Million What a complete waste of capital. Everyone I know has been talking about how bad the snow, terrain, etc... would be on that side of DV since the project was announced. Took exactly one season to demonstrate that literally every internet naysayer was precisely correct and knows way...

This is fairly old data at this point, but the best I've got for Colorado. Its a PDF that hopefully can be downloaded.

Wait, Jamesdeluxe is now an AI user? I thought only ChrisC was allowed to do that around here!

I've followed the project from a distance occasionally since it pretty much started. It has never made any sense whatsoever and screams of sucker born every minute. The real problem at this point is that they have blown through more than $8M while not even having gotten 100% of the parts for...
