at that point the purpose of having fun isnt even viable
brap
Loveland was closed today because of the road conditions
lordstanleyofyork
My 17” dumps don’t attract those types of crowds.
Rooster43
Fuck that noise
arbucklecunningham
I took a 17" dump and nobody was interested....here they're lined up for it?
Callistan
I grew up in Colorado, and frequently got the side-eye from people when I told them I prefer backcountry to downhill skiing. This is why.
chunkylover73
This world needs a plague!
relpmeraggy
I’d just put my ski patrol jacket on and tell them there is an accident. Not that I do that at my resort.... never.
mikech2000
Nothing compared to what I-70 looks like Sunday afternoon.
DangrebeTheMangrebe
And then they all get into a wreck on i70 on sunday
daily3
.5 inches of snow and they’re all in the goddamn ditch.
chiefslithersnake
Looks like the line at the releaf center in Niles, MI.
fastjeff
This kind of makes me want to strap pieces of slippery sticks to my feet and slide around, looks like lots of people like doing it.
antoonz
Go to the back bowls!!
forevernatalie
This is why we ski Monarch
Kknight8
17" = holy f'ing Grail. One hour wait for fondola, then ski other lifts rest of day. Ppl wait 2+ hrs for a single 3 min roller coaster...
christinthefoothills
We need another plague

StarrBK201
I would stand in that line for some fresh powder
Toomuchcrap
You could go to any of the other resorts in Colorado and still get the fresh powder. The snow is falling like crazy.
SamArt53
My head hurts... I been watching this 5 mins... how long is it?
brodiddlee
Imagine what I-70 looks like.
RobertGrubb
You'd think they would limit the amount of tickets they sell.. That mountain is beyond full.
AlkeneThiol
I'm sure they tell people "the wait for a lift is currently 3 hours." And people still gladly pay for the privilege
DeadBodyAnimated
Man I’ve been to vail and there was a little blizzard which was uncomfortable. But there is no way I would stand in this. I’d be havin fun
electrajet
Who are all these people who can afford $200+ lift tickets? Geeze...
Traja01
It’s cheaper if you get a pass. Like $700 gets you access to a bunch of mountains.
tjcassidy
I'm guessing that's one of the first gondollas out of lions head for first tracks? line only going to get smaller from there?
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
It’s Gondola #1, in the village.
Flumpypumpy
If I had a 17" dump I don't think people would be queuing up for it... x
JemFayCrystal
maninthedarkness
If? Where's your spirit? Reach for your dreams!
dghammer
There are freaks out there....hell there are freaks on here....that would.
elbowdeepinachicken
There's a guy who contracted HIV from eating another fetishist's poop that they shared through the mail.
Humungotron
How do you know this? Why? Why do you know this?
The701
On the list of things you wish you could go back in time and share with the Internet's original creators. "Look what wonders your invention
The701
will some day allow!"
The701
... ... ... ... ... "We know. Why do you think we're doing all this??"
wildebeestsarepeopletoo
I don't ski, but that really doesn't look worth the time.
tooomanystevesgotbanned
Ditto
Traja01
And the +$200 you paid for the privilege
Ninthskull
Vail is more like a multi thousand dollar trip but yeah
Traja01
That’s the cost of a lift ticket, is my point.
cdlong
One of several reasons I don't ski at Vail anymore.
IAmDeer
Never seem to run into much of a crowd at Loveland. Less resorty than Copper, but I definitely like the runs at copper more.
newsguycraigevans
I still have my Vail Sucks shirt from 90s
byohzzrd
Steamboat is nice. New resort corp is kinda shite, but the mountain is awesome.
wilsoneung9000
Sunny day at Ski santa fe over Vail anyday
Toomuchcrap
Anything but Vail now.
Farger
Copper Mountain baby!
chimera388
Honeymooned there! Opening day 2011
BrofessorDumbleBro
Would rather monarch, it is usually less crowded and accommodates more to more advanced runs.
thisiskissel
Taos
sophware
I was there when they had 3 feet. I really don't recall lines like that. I'll never forget it. I got HAPE that day.
cdlong
A lot of people are scared of snow and want the runs groomed. Get out of here with that BS.
sophware
Get out of here with that BS? What is happening? If this weren't the internet, I'd buy you a scotch/ tea/ beer/ whatever and be nice.
cdlong
What? I don't know what you're getting at.
ChoovaMonster
Fuck Vail, Aspen, sun valley, etc. Bunch of rich assholes who can't comprehend what it's like to be a decent human
Patches3000
Yeah but being a dick back is fun
BrofessorDumbleBro
I’m a big fan of crested butte myself.
Wolverenis
Me too but that's a hell of a drive from vail
chimera388
Lift line or car time? I'll take the car. Knees hurt less
Wolverenis
It's just not very realistic when its dropping like that. Better off trying Copper or A basin
SexyClaptrap
I’ll crest your butte
BrofessorDumbleBro
Hon hon hon
detour512
It snowed here in a Texas Wednesday night, about a 1/4", that's about the most I've ever seen.

Do you live in San Angelo?

Allisrevealed
$209 day lift ticket
radioGifDriver
I remember when everyone was complaining about 70 dollar a day passes there.
cdlong
That's another one of the reasons. Season passes are like $1000.
nero4ty2
They were $500 20 years ago, great deal either way if you went once a week
Allisrevealed
And thats a steal. Most big resorts are that much now. Epic pass creates these big rushes.
SlippingIntoMadness
Breckinridge all day
13andido
Peak 7!
EvenTheMostRidiculousNamesAreTakenWtf
Fuck that. Ill just crawl up.
capughe
I'm going to stay inside and be happy warm potato.
MrKibbs
Or hear me out... a 4x4 truck and a rope and just be dragged behind it on a country back road
yesthisisdogmeow
Vale is so expensive compared to copper head, and I had a blast with less wait time.
ProjectGr0wnup
Skin up :)
isetprettygirlsonfire
That's the spirit. But head to vail pass instead (or elsewhere)
wizardgizzardchickenblizzard
I was thinking about going to Loveland today. Stayed inside though :(
SlippingIntoMadness
They closed due to there wind
SpiderProof
Fuck that. I'll just stay indoors. It's warm here, and I don't have to pay money to stand in line.
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
Snowshoes babay!
isetprettygirlsonfire
You mean slowshoes. Get some AT skis and skins and you'll hate slowshoes.
beautifulejaculation
I've never been skiing how feasible is it to go up without the lift?
Anonisfun
It isn't.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Sure it is, skins.
tornadosandwich
I’d guess it’s possible but you gotta take the skis off
isetprettygirlsonfire
Better yet get AT or tele skis with skins
shortlegcat
Yes. Helicopter.
tornadosandwich
Easy there Kobe Bryant
Camelspotting
It is not.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Except that it is, I ski uphill all the time in the backcountry.
AlpacaMyBagsAndGoNow
Is*
Humungotron
If you wanna spend the day hiking at high altitude, go for it. Don't expect multiple runs tho.
dghammer
Fuck that ....I d go elsewhere...Taos or Angelfire....anywhere these people aren’t.
KoyomiAraragi
I went to copper mountain. Seemed good to me, not a big skier but first real mountain experience
theAught
Yeah just a quick short walk over from Vail
TheDapperDilo
How's the skiing in Angel Fire? My parents retired there so will be spending some time skiing there. Love it there
volock
It's pretty good. Wolfcreek is my favorite in that general area... Depending on what you're looking for Taos is better
TheDapperDilo
I've heard there aren't as many beginner slopes in AF, is that true. I'm not very good lol
volock
Really depends on where you learned to ski / are used to. I went from skiing the SW to Midwest at one point. Their black diamonds were my
CarolinHR
Jesus you’d fit three runs in a day
begalit
If that was the only one, you'd probably be lucky for 2, given how slow it loads. But yeah, most ppl would get to an area and use chairs
nero4ty2
They have so many lifts and runs once you got up it wouldn’t be an issue
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
So fucking worth it. Vail in these conditions is incredible. + long runs and plenty of less populated lifts.

Otteritup
Jesus can't help you.
HitachiMagicWand
He can if he's got a snowmobile, amirite?
veryhighatwork
Forty minute runs though
bugeyetex
Try Whistler/Blackcomb. 45 minutes of high speed quads to get to the top. Easy hour plus to the bottom at any sane speeds
cdlong
Jesus, how slow do you ski? It usually takes 10
microcactus
I usually fall down a lot so it takes a little longer.
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
Once you're up, there's plenty of chairs mid-mtn or on the backside so you don't have to come to the base until the end of the day.
Muttons1337
Does that mean you have to stop somewhere mid-trail and start back up at the top? Sounds quick and un-fun
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
Not necessarily - you can down the backside
thisismyanonymoususername
there are whole other sections of the mountain, this is just the biggest, lowest lift that gives access to the rest
Muttons1337
Ah, I see. From the gathering, it looked awfully crowded. I would have chosen a different mountain!
thisismyanonymoususername
yeah, definitely still looks bad haha (especially in the cold)
MrChurch
The mountain is huge. Multiple peaks and miles upon miles of runs and corresponding lifts.
Muttons1337
I've only been to one mountain ski trail once in my life. Sounds like fun!
MrChurch
If you get the chance, I'd highly recommend it. Though maybe not Vail. I like Breckenridge and Copper.
