Well, I'm ready for winter again. So here's a thread for the inevitable stoke, whining, and pictures of Billy in gilly hats.

Agreed. Gonna be forced to be headed to Hood after April 16th. This whole "second season" thing seems a bit like some bullshit to me. Making people pay $100 for 3 weekends of skiing when they paid for a 11/12 pass just doesn't add up.

Scott, you should barrow one of Billy's many guns. Go to the head office at stevens and show them who's boss. Thanks in advance, BASED RILEY.

Done halfway.

Spring passes should start at the beginning of March. That gets folks who like to ski, but didn't pick up a pass for that year. Bit of cash to finish the year with, which could then pay for a short extended season. But it looks like they waited to make the call, and the results are pretty obvious.

Did anyone else notice how pretty much all the passes except college ones have gone up ~$100? They're $100 more in both the spring and until Oct 31 sales. I wonder why that is... It's more than just inflation.

Too bad the snow level is going to be 3500ish feet this week, so Stevens can bask in snow, and Snoqualmie can rejoice in rain. At least all that thuggin polyurethane will pay dividends.

Hmmm, good point. Too bad alpy has a high-speed quad that funnels in to a double chair, and the only terrain really worth skiing is accessible from the double chair, and everybody and their grandma in the greater Seattle area knows that.

Dang my grandma thought alpental was some sort of tribal leader! My buddy Daves Grandma thought it was some sort of new toothpaste! We're not very hip though.

And i don't mind the lift lines at alpy, A very few number of people hit cliffs there so the landings stay fresh nearly all day. I like waiting there thinking of what i might do, hyping myself up. The glass is half full here.

You guys need to stop whining. Dont buy the spring pass, get the 12-13 pass for the same price as last year and ride into the spring. Everyone is hating, this is a big step for Stevens to extend the season for the first time ever. Alpental hasn't done Cinco de Mayo in years. They are always closed because it is not cost effective to operate. It is not easy for Ski areas to survive in Washington.

Except it's not the same prices as last year. The returning passholder price during the April-May sale is the same as what I paid as a FIRST TIME passholder last October. They've gone up ~$150 across the board. There just seems to be a general effort to make more money going on right now. I'm wondering if it isn't for expansion of some kind. Or it could be that that money is going to cover another month of operation next season. Hopefully the latter.
Fortunately, I will be eligible for a college pass come fall, so I can buy a spring pass and a college pass and still pay less than buying a season pass during this sale. Spring pass is a good deal, but they needed to warn us. The season passes were advertised as just that, and now we find out that it isn't even true anymore. It's kind of strange that my season pass could have gotten me ~150 days, but not another 9 at the end of the season...

Try Mexicans, they can fit themselves in the darnest of places. Especially if you promise to take them to a gringo landscaping site.
