@Sbooker: Australia in the NY Times. Had no idea it was that bad.

Agreed. With my front-row seat at Solitude, I didn't have to deal with the traffic/parking mess that weekenders and powder-day customers encounter since the Ikon takeover, similar to you and Iron Blosam.

Exactly what happened to me in January 2011 but luckily I was driving from Loveland to WP -- smugly looking at all the traffic headed toward Silverthorne.

@jimk claims that the Cottonwoods are a breeze. :icon-wink:

Fascinating to see the continued repercussions -- good and bad -- of the all-you-can-eat season passes.

My brother hitting eclipse paydirt along Lake Champlain:

That's what I would've done! A shame that skis don't have the ability to go back and forth between mid-fat and fat on the fly like an adjustable mountain-biking seat post! Many people swear that they can carve comfortably on 98s and above when skiing hardpack; however, it looks painful to me...

My sentiments exactly. @Harvey is the only fulltime freeheeler here as far as I know.

All of the St. Moritz ski areas have been added to Ikon. https://www.alterramtn.co/news/ikon-pass-adds-st.-moritz-in-switzerland-for-winter-2425

My Euro nightmare :eusa-sick:
