werd, yea worst case scenario we can all get a hotel room and everyone just crash one the floor.  i found a super 8 for 60 bucks a nite with 2 beds. let me know if you guys wanna do that, it wouldn't cost must split 4 or 5 ways

yea nothing like dishing out $45 bones to ski a white ribbon of death with hundreds of people crowding its slopes and wait in hour long lines....  I just don't see the appeal but for those going.....

cheapest hotel is the holiday inn in frisco which is about a 30 minute drive from a-basin

or you can camp in the upper lot at a-basin.

already beat that game.  just got back.  discount passes, free place to stay (frisco is only about 15 minutes tops from a basin) and the line was 15 minutes or 0 if you hiked the rails.  it was mad fun

actually yes.  i know a guy, and the green card is acceptable.  hate to part from my herb, but atleast i dont have to travel to another state to ride a chair, ski an overcrowded groomer, and call drop next on a two foot rail.  silly kids.  i hope u have a great time, cause ur gonna be payin for it.

some of us think it is worth it to travel and go skiing.  I find skiing enough fun that ai am willing to drive to colorado to do so.  if you have a place to stay and discounted passes why not go?  why do you have to try and bring kids down that want to just go out and have a good time.  if you dont think it is worth it good for you some of us do.

i happen to be on a tight budget because i love to ski and spend all my money on it.  being a  jobless ski bum w/ 150+ days a season doesn't provide me with much flow, and going to school does not help.  i cannot afford to spend 1-2 on a preseason trip to go jib a rail, as fun as that sounds...since its not winter yet, i like to spend some disposable income i might have on other cool things.  sorry if i cant do bs switch ups. and my priorities? i bet you ski pc even on a pow day, dont you?

whatev im tryin to understand ur logic, and i sincerely do hope you have a fun time.

you would be suprised at how sick Park City can be on a pow day.  if you know where to go it can be amazing and way less crowded than LCC
