SHOULD I GO?

Alright so heres my dilema. So my friends want to go to Lutsen mtns. in upstate minnesota. I live in southern wisconsin and they want to go this weekend for 3 nights, and its an 8 hr drive. i dont really want to go because there is 4 boarders and only 2 skiiers, me being one of them and the other one just skis all mtn. I want to go because it seems like a nice hill and its got some "BC" runs. But the 8 hr drive just for that just doesnt seem worth it, and one of the kids i just hate. the hotel would be tight(packed) along with the long car ride.

However this weekend i could go as much as i want to my home hill about 30 min away, and ski with like 3-6 NSers, 2 of them i actually met and are legit kids and are really fun to ski park with, the others im sure are the same. And i could get to go with my brother which is fun too.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?

Spark notes: 8hr drive to a bigger hill with boarder friends and a redneck boarder? OR Go to my local hill and shred the park for 3 days straight with some good ol' NSers.

REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! +K to anyone who actually reads it through and gives me a reasonablel answer.

You should check the weather to see if the other resort will have more snow that weekend.

dude, go on a mini vacation with your friends to lutsen.... lutsen is fun, not steep or "BC" by any means, but a fun ski weekend non the less.

you can ski your home hill anytime (unless you cant, maybe i missed that?)

o yeah, and if you have the time, hit up spirit mtn in duluth, you will literally drive right by it.

bottom line, the drive will fly by, and lutsen is fun! either way though you will be skiing so its a win win no matter what!

I'd say its more about who you're with than where you are.  I'd much rather be skiing with a good group of friends at a shittier mountain than a better mountain with a bunch of idiots.

+k, there not all dbags. i would say about 1-2 out of the 6 i could stand for 8 hrs. and this way if i dont go they can fit the car normally, not someone stitting on the floor for 8 hrs.

Stay home. I didn't like Lutsen. It's not worth an eight hour drive with tools. You won't have fun.

I still think you should go but

excuse: if you have a seasons pass at your local then say that you cant / (or your parents don't want to) pay the extra money, even if you dont have a pass im sure its cheaper at home

Just tell them that someone put dynamite in your boots, and your ankles are brrrroken.

On a more serious note, just tell them you can't afford it, plain simple and always works.

Tell them you don't want to go cause the car's too full and you'd rather not drive.

I would much rather just hit up some park with NSers instead of go on an 8 hour trip with some snowboarders and 1 other skier. just my opinion though
