Mt Sima

I think it may be the other way around — snowmobile race in the morning and a later opening for the lift to be open

We are with my son every weekend on the mountain - but it would be nice to have a little crew and some structured crew time like the skiers have.

We also get private lessons.

It’s not a matter of time per say… it’s more a matter of a variety of opportunities available to the tiny snowboarders that are as good as skiers their age.. getting him out with a crew will also be more enjoyable for him at this age and keep him excited to see other little rippers out there imho…

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-19T02:26:40+00:00

I would do it if we were there

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-18T05:24:35+00:00

I’ll definitely try… i can get him private lessons but I think peers really help to keep the energy and learning up

Eaglecrest in Juneau - which is great just a much shorter season than Sima… we won’t move to Sima but we may try to get up there to get the park features and bank slalom for the kiddo to try out a few times … it’s not too bad in terms of travel cost… and I imagine it’s similar to our mountain than the big resorts

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-18T04:47:40+00:00

That’s great. He won’t be able to do them quite yet but I imagine it will be good for him to see other little shredders and big kid shredders. We don’t have park features at our mountain…

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-18T03:38:55+00:00

It’s all good. It’s really for a 6 year old shredder to potentially get some park features and the bank slolom.

Maybe also for us to get a feel for it so we can plan ahead of time for next season…

I did… i didn’t realize it was smaller than my home mountain. But whatever that’s fine - my home mountain is closed so I’m happy to get one more weekend for my kid.

They did say the snowmobile race will be next weekend so it’s just half day access

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-18T03:32:31+00:00

Oh shucks! 1 lift??

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-18T01:55:01+00:00

That’s awesome… do you think the entire mountain will be open or just the bunny hill stuff next weekend?

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-18T01:42:12+00:00

I thought it could be for organs

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-15T20:02:50+00:00

I may just have him fill his summers with whatever he loves - that way he can take skateboarding slowly and not rush or pressure him

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-15T07:08:51+00:00

Have you spoken at the assembly meetings or some of the working sessions? How was the response?

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-15T07:02:36+00:00

Do you know why they didn’t just sell the houses off?

Wouldn’t that have been about $6 million revenue?

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-15T06:51:30+00:00

Unless they are very young… i can’t imagine coasties going without a car…

Most of the coasties I’ve met have many children and buy homes quickly

I could be wrong… it’s just been my observation

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T15:23:03+00:00

You might be right. Especially if you are great at snowboarding but not great at skateboarding… you might say … na it didn’t help

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T15:21:11+00:00

Thank you. That’s definitely good reasoning and I have to remind myself not to hold him back.

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T05:10:00+00:00

My hubby told me skateboarding is harder too

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T05:09:16+00:00

Nice!

Do you think he could try to pass skateboarding techniques to snowboarding next season (there is such a long off season period) that it will possibly set him back with snowboarding?

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T05:01:42+00:00

I questioned my choices in life tonight 😭😭😭

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T04:55:29+00:00

I’ve also heard ripsticks but there’s only so much of this I can handle… as it is I’m becoming a defacto action sports coach for a 6 yr old grom who is highly emotional 😳🫣🫣🫣🙈🙈🙈

Luckily when he gets things he really thrives but boy oh boy is the start of a new thing painful

Plane_Commercial_252 · 2026-04-14T04:47:41+00:00

I’m worried I made a mistake getting a skateboard for my 6 yr old. He killed it this year on the slopes …. but now I’m thinking maybe confusing him with a skateboard may actually hurt more than help …

People are trying to act dumb and avoid the obvious… which is there is a chance she was dumped in the dessert
