The resort I go to starts making snow really late compared to some of the other resorts in Minnesota.

They don't keep up their park as well as they should, I help fix it up from time to time.

I heard they are going to be closing at 7pm instead of 8 this year.. :( one less precious hour of skiing

 > Grooming crews groom when night skiing is still going on, closing half the mountain at any given time until the grooming is done.
 > An hour from my house.
 > Nowhere to stealthily smoke (inb4 I get flamed for bringing up weed).

The pros outweigh the cons in the end though. :)

The park crew that sits on their asses all day.

The park crew that lets the features go to shit unless my friends and I fix them ourselves.

The park crew that can't build a decent jump with a gap larger than 15 feet.

The fucking park crew.

The mom/chaperone that takes all 7 of the kids shes watching over the knuckles on keystone's big line while people are hitting it and proceeds to ask random people if they can take one of the kids up the two chair.

The lack of decent cheap food on the hill
The fact the lift company won't invest more into the infrastructure
How our park gets smaller every year

Other than that i love my ski resort.

-The a-holes that don't know how lift lines work.
-The snobby richies that think the mountain revolves around them.
-First timers on the steep shit that end up sliding down the whole run on one edge thus ruining the snow. -$5 for 5 fries.
-Little kids with oblivious mothers running through the park (or should I say getting in the way of everyone running through the park)
-People that kill it in the park that make me look bad.
-That person that decides the best time to bail out of a turn is right in front of you.

sightseers who ride up and down the lifts and always end up getting the lift slowed down for them at the the bottom and top. sometimes on spring and summer days there are as many sightseers as skiers, making the lift ridiculously slow.

and having to cross other peoples ski tracks when i ski pow...

For not blowing snow when it seems they can and like said earlier when people cut. One chair in front of me makes no difference...

All the people that say park crew is the main problem. Well shut the hell up. I don't see you guys out there till 3 in the morning setting rails, Digging through ice and out at the break of dawn to finish. Park crew usually works their asses off. No matter what resort. They all still work their asses off, even during the off season they are still working to fix features and make them nice for all you snobs to ride. Disgusts me to hear all the people complaining about park crew. Go ride what god has given us!!!

No you are just used to having a good park crew, you've probably never been to some of those resort's park crews that are actually bad.

100 rails and boxes that aren't being used and 1 feature in the "park". There are landings for jumps but no fucking jumps. If there happens to be a jump its like a god damn wall. No shape just a brick wall of snow. Thank god I have Carinthia and Sugarbush

Whistler raises you.

http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/tickets-and-passes/season-passes/index.aspx

$1900 season pass for the loss.

But that's not my mountain anymore. I don't really have one. If I did, I guess my biggest complaint would be how cold the chairs are on the way up. They're also stupid slow, but that's less of an issue because that's why the snow doesn't get tracked out.

Im actually pretty stoked with my resort but the one thing that really annoys me is that they leave lots of fallen timber and old tree stumps within the trees so you cant ski trees unless theres a lot of snow on the ground

I can't believe I just read all thous. I know this is a "grind you gears" thread, but seriously? What a bunch of bitches. The fact that you'er on snow should be good enough. You don't like the nasty $15 burgers? Make your own damn sandwich you lazy fucks. You don't like the $8 beers. Buy a few tall boys on the way and stash them in the car or snow bank. Patrol hates you? You probably deserve it for being a little arrogant punk. Not saying you are, just maybe. Do you realize that you could spend that day stuck at work, school or digging a damn ditch. You all instead are out skiing. The worst day on snow, is better than the best day anywhere else. Ga Damn White peoples problems? PS I'm as white as it gets.
