UilyJeffQuit going under the rope and doing shit you shouldn't.
CHORIZOyea it totally blows. Vail resorts is the only one that doesnt comply with the "ropes are only for decoration" policy
UilyJeffExactly! Let's break the rules, and then complain when we get in trouble for breaking the rules

eheathSeriously, if you don't do anything wrong there is a 99% chance you won't have any issues...
gnarballsianmwow, panties in a twist much?
DeebieSkeebiesyou'll figure out ducking ropes isn't that exciting sooner or later. And if you're looking for access to fresh turns, just go get a touring setup/gear/knowledge and have at it. No need to disrespect terrain closures that patrol specifically designates for good reasons. They don't want to have to call your mom and tell them you're ass is frozen stiff because you wanted some freshies, but go for it I guess. Obviously its early season and not much is open, but the rules still apply and OP didn't get his pass pulled. PC used to just take your pass instead of taking some skier safety courses or getting back after a month, so if anything he kinda lucked out especially considering the amount of people that were skiing this past week or two.
STwoopsI agree with you. They have people now on payroll who just stand on runs and hand out tickets. As if there were a huge number of accidents when there were just slow signs instead of deuchebags in yellow jackets handing out yellow tickets like we were on the freeway. Also they scan my pass every goddamn time I lap the park. I probably took like 30 laps the other day and got scanned everytime? WTF? It's like a 5 minute interval that you saw me last.
All in all these are pretty minor complaints but the vibe IS different and I can easily tell only skiing three seasons total at PC.

zakattack66The pussy is strong in this one
chodoI find it absolutely ridiculous that people trash Vail resorts. Go any where else in the world and find as many mountains on one pass as an Epic pass, especially at such a cheap rate compared to other passes.
No one made you ski there. There are plenty of other mountains you can go throw your money at. People need to quit bitching about there on free will choices!
Troy.How about when you live in a town, have a great job, and deep roots established. And then a corporation comes in and changes a bunch of shit? Is it okay to complain then?
danbrownall i know is there is no more happy hour at baja after today and theyre raising drink prices and that pisses me the fuck off
SmuffyWait what. even on margaritas? that's fucked
also, fuck the yellow coats. yeah powdr corp was a big company, but they didn't take your pass for skiing fast. that shit really grinds my gears
eheathAnd they definitely took passes for going too fast, remember the video 4bi9 posted with top getting yelled at/sledded off the mountain by ski patrol? Nothing has changed you babies, every year ski patrol sits at slow signs and yells at you all day, just because they're 'yellow jackets' now everyone notices?
SmuffySure, it's not the end of the world. But have you seriously not noticed a difference? I've witnessed/heard of more issues with them in the beginning of this season than in the past few years combined. Maybe you just don't shred, try going fast some time. It's fun.
Until some square blows his lame ass whistle at you. Whatever, PC has aids anyway
ski.the.eastI think its bullshit they painted over the 3 kings towers with boring grey...
I miss this
WillskiforfreeThis. Really tho, the lifts not having the athletes painted on them is total bullshit, vail added a new type of ski patrol- yellow jacket ski cops that pull you over for almost anything, and almost all of the park crew is brand new... Also kings crown got relocated to a tiny ass run.
gnarballsianmAgree with what your saying, I have the AT setup and I do go after it, and maybe its a little different in the NW, but generally its a ski at your own risk situation, and if you are not qualified or comfortable in the terrain you are in then you get your dumbass out of there. Im guessing this is a way bigger issue at PC because you have a lot more jerry's to patrol which i totally understand and I am not one to directly disobey patrols by any means but side country and skin tracks off the backside of mountains and just under lines are definitely a good time when conditions permit.
dustygoldflakesHow would you compare Keystone to Vail? I'm flying in to denver and can ski anywhere relatively close. Any suggestions?
