YALLLLLLLL


Ya girl is poor but need to find a sick place to throw my moolah towards a season pass! What’s the best place for drops/steepness?

Any snazzy ideas on how I can get a ridiculously cheap season pass?

Any Volly patrols near the area?

Are you in college? There are still college discounts towards Ikon passes til the 15th this month, almost 50% off.

Aren’t you a medic? Patrols are always looking for medics, even just to work a couple days a month. You should just call/stop by/email patrol directors in the area about opportunities.

Hell, you might be able to do some CE’s or some Onhill training (I don’t know....Avalanche/asphyxia /hypothermia considerations) in exchange for a pass.

Or, if you’re working full time as a medic, you’re probably balling, so just buy a pass lol.

Edit: All the medics I work with make a shit ton of money because they work absurd hours, maybe you don’t make a ton of money.

Heck that’s actually such a good idea!

Part time at 15.70 an hour, yeah totally rolling in the dough *sarcastic tone*.... I’d probably make more working at McDonald’s. Haha it’s ridiculous how much they can pay us

In terms of freeride, you really cant beat altabird. Either or are amazing. Unfortunately you are about to buy a season's pass at the most expensive time of the year. I know a few people who patrol and they say it's tough to get on patrol at alta or snowbird. I'd recommend going as a med route as well if possible since they always need more of those and they often give passes to med peoples

Altabird is really the only place for terrain around here if that's all you're looking for. But seeing as you waited till a week or 2 before the season, unless you're willing to drop 1500$ on a pass, id pick either alta or snowbird on their own, but you're still talking 800$ unfortunately

b right on runs volis with an oec and I thinks you need to pass a sled and ski test
not bad as you get boyne hookups
alta has the least turnover of patrol staff anywhere and good luck with that
the corp might let ya twist some boo or yellow coat
vails almost always looking cause wtf wants to work for them
deer valleys a possibility but id food service or hospitality for probably twice the pay there
solis always been full timers in the past cept for a few part time previous full timers used to be emt but I think the allow wofer now
good place if you can git in
with avvy skills you could feasibly run a route and huck ordinance in a couple season there
and I laugh when the no gnar cept alta bird never been up or down fantasies ridge or skied those shots lcc lemmings chime in
ive got a sar buddy who gits a pass hookup and others who provide social media content for hookups
or there is acquire gear knowledge and partners not give any money to the man for mechanical assisted vert
start at the bottom and climb to the top and ski down free riding
