    Ski-Air Travel

    Yes but you know my predilection for not skiing Europe much :) Plus there are pretty much zero places to fly direct from Denver to get to skiing anyway. So I can already fly to Frankfurt, Munich, London, Rome or etc... and change planes there just as easy as Paris. Interestingly I will change...

    Ski-Air Travel

    It's very possible that the pilot assigned to do a walkaround of your plane ahead of your flight is the one who found the tire issue. Typically the Captain and FO alternate such tasks every other flight. Was a giant Meh for me. I don't fly east to then fly to Europe. I go direct from Denver...

    Triple Play + Snow Pass

    Surely there is a weekday only caveat for that one. I cannot imagine the membership putting up with weekend/holiday usage from interlopers.

    Patrick's Streak, Ski Travel Priorities

    Wow. Patrick sounds like a 30 year old who is locked into a million responsibilities and no time off. I thought he was pretending to be retired the past couple of years?

    How do you guys avoid getting crashed into?

    I will not just suggest on helmets, it has been proven that Helmets make skiers and boarders feel more invincible. Both on trails and in the trees - people simply do far more dangerous stuff with no hesitation or thought.

    How do you guys avoid getting crashed into?

    Any criminal charges or lawsuit against the boarder? Among many hits (not always by boarders) that I have seen over the years, one of the more significant recent ones was a couple years ago I saw a boarder come down and slam hard directly into someone standing on the edge of the trail/snow...

    How do you guys avoid getting crashed into?

    Agree with MarzNC that a whole lot more context would be useful.

    Patrick's Streak, Ski Travel Priorities

    C'mon. We all know Patrick will go for Sept 30/Oct 1 and ski the last couple of open trails after all the good terrain is closed. :troll: :p

    Is the market sniffing out a forced asset liquidation at Vail Resorts?

    She was brought in to juice all the non-direct skiing revenue that is the new focus for Vail. Selling overpriced yoga pants is sort of relevant to selling all the 'white glove' BS stuff that Katz and Vail just announced. So hopefully the volume on that junk goes up and with huge margins to...

    Eldora: Town of Nederland Acquisition

    Probably. But I'm also pretty sure that until the SHTF a couple years post-acquisition that there would not be enough local interest in going through the effort. I hadn't heard that as yet (I'm not in Ned). That alone tells me the deal itself is likely somewhere close to failure (crosses...

    Is the market sniffing out a forced asset liquidation at Vail Resorts?

    Prince clearly thinks he knows more than nearly everyone else alive. Very boorish and self serving on his best days. While he may have some points against current Vail management, there is exactly a zero percent chance of him ripping it apart and literally anyone else in Utah or elsewhere ending...

    Is now the best time to buy ski gear?

    Originally. Then Gart got bought out by Sports Authority which kept the tradition alive for another 10ish years until they went bankrupt somewhere around 2015 or so.

    Is now the best time to buy ski gear?

    Died 10 years ago unfortunately. Was a huge sales event while it existed at the sports castle in downtown Denver. I just looked and Christy's is dropping all in person events and simply continuing to sell patio furniture this year. Weird.

    Is now the best time to buy ski gear?

    I'm sure they must have, but even with that, in a normal season with more skiers and skierdays they still always have leftovers and run significant sales around Labor Day. I can only imagine that fewer people visiting and terrible snow both dampened sales volume/enthusiasm even with fire sales...

    Is now the best time to buy ski gear?

    Lots of factors goes into gear sales. What region you are in. Chain of stores vs Independant, etc... in Colo any deals will start roughly labor day weekend and are usually concentrated at one location for each of the major chains with much less at smaller independent shops. Typical is only a...

    I'm not convinced that that would be legal in the US at this point. ADA accommodation must be via the same area and method as for everyone else. Thus the huge ADA compliant structures Frontier uses at DIA at the front of the plane. Multiple retail stores have been sued over the years and lost...

    Fire Smoke From Canada

    That's getting pretty remote. Best I can do is recall back to my days as a teen doing a canoeing trip through Algonquin Park. I did a loop of ~65-ish miles with plenty of portages from lake to lake for more than a week. But looking at a map of that area it looks like I was probably never more...

    Oh boy what a mouth full. I had to look up what that means for Delta since I fly them so rarely. Sometimes once per year on Delta as that is the only airline that flies to the tiny town one of my brothers lives in. But not this year for me as I have no idea how, but basically free flights in/out...

    How do you get someone wheelchair bound on or off that flight with those rickety stairs? I guess the answer is too bad, so sad for you if you are not very fully able.
