Yep - those chutes hold snow *days* after a storm. It's really a pity they're so short. If they were another 1000 vertical the Boat would be the best resort in the state.Yeah the times I went out there you had to hike. Steep or not it was by far the best snow on the mountain. That's actually where I dropped my first 40 footer.
The only time I skied Squaw I was a n00B. Although that $hit is *still* probably a bit too rich for my blood.You should come out and ski eagle's nest at squaw sometime. Steep.
Order of desirability of Front Range Resorts:Why do I feel we've had this Keystone vs. Breck debate before?
Do they even exist anymore? I thought they become something like the Granby Ranch?Order of desirability of Front Range Resorts:

Just for the record - I don't actually consider Vail & Beaver Creek "Front Range" though most people do.
Still there.... they used to be called something else, though. Silver Creek, maybe?Do they even exist anymore? I thought they become something like the Granby Ranch?
Sure. What do you want to know?Can we get back to talking about ME please?
You have more snow than god right now.Boy, I think I'll stay right here. I've got five ski areas within 70 miles that range from fun family style to Resort -
Lookout is $28 on a weekend, Silver is $44, Schweitzer is $49, Mt. Spokane $36, 49 is $40.
I think we've got more snow than CO too, right now.
My season pass is free ( volunteer)

What does Maine have to do with anything?Can we get back to talking about ME please?
My brother resides in Avon <snip> Vail is without a doubt one of the best mountains I have ever skiied. (Skiied in Europe, Canada and all over the West, btw!)
Don't worry - I got the straight scoop. It rained all over their local mountain last time around "and then froze solid."You have more snow than god right now.

Don't worry - I'm not likely to make a trip to ski Spokane.um, yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, I'd rather you guys be deluded and stay away from "my"mountain. But opening was awesome.

Now Red or Whitewater, OTOH.....
I don't read worthless rags.did someone jsut read the december issue of freeskier?
That's definitely a price I can live with.Red Mountain is having FREE skiing on Christmas day.
yeah and those two places were the focus of one of them...the odd thing about me reading it is i am a boarder....I don't read worthless rags.
Why?
Did they do *another* report on interior BC?
Shocker.
Why is that odd? Because boarders are generally illiterate?yeah and those two places were the focus of one of them...the odd thing about me reading it is i am a boarder....
hahaha i actually have to agree with you after working at bachelor the past couple days....but no just being the boarder reading skiing mags, for some reason i actually identify with them more than boarding mags (except for ones like snowboard journal)...oh and this illiterate boarder did write 57 pages one the subcultures of mtn bikingWhy is that odd? Because boarders are generally illiterate?
LOL, 33 miles from the house and a season pass for me does not mean destination skiing for anyone else.Don't worry - I'm not likely to make a trip to ski Spokane.
