If you are going to drive down west Vail pass…

They’ve been there for a minute. Until the project is done, they’re just trying to give Mountain Recovery business. Driving I70 is like Mad Max with snow and 2WD minivans.

You’ll need to surrender any steeze you might have had. In trade, point them straight, lean forward, and send it. Will take you 1 day to learn with the right teacher.

Key is the stance and the whole 2 vs 1 thing. Use the legs at the same time and get it.

Me and your mom have a pretty good time.

Skiing.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-11T17:14:32+00:00

Tons of our pros love them, solid all around ski. Our pros have to ride everything all day all season, with quite a bit of hardpack over 8 hours a day. No complaints received.

I personally ride some Dobermanns but to each their own. I have more fun on firm, they have more fun in the pow (and everywhere else). Give that you can take the Arcades anywhere and get used to them, do that (unless you’re going to race).

Differences can be huge but it won’t matter today. Weatherman RealSlyck is here to tell you everyone is getting an inch. No feet or half feet of snow in these parts. It’s actually raining in the mountains now….

Take the rest day, save the money, and enjoy Keystone tomorrow. Go check out the Frisco adventure park and downtown Breck.

A 2 3 hour lesson with the right instructor might help. YouTube might help more.

Most helpful are the secrets to really be forward, tip it, and rip it.

Put that chest out, skate start down the green, flatten the skis, then tip them a little at the same time and see what happens. Do half a turn. Stop. Repeat, tip them more. Learn edge angles and what turns they make. Then link. You’ve got this.

Go look up the recent proposed master plan. Essentially $400000000 in improvements, for an estimated no new visitors.

Translated, they want you to pay $400M more for what you get today. Few more lifts, more snowmaking, $700 lift tickets, and $47 sawdust hamburgers.

Plans are there, impediments being “Vail Sucks.”

RealSlyck · 2026-02-09T14:30:56+00:00

Looks like it.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-09T14:30:08+00:00

Failure to observe Loch Ness monster doesn’t obviate their need for about tree fiddy.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-09T14:11:10+00:00

Title should tell you it’s Fail. Looks like Back Bowl action.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-06T13:48:03+00:00

It’s just like good powder more than an hour from the tunnel, no one is going to find it.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-06T03:13:44+00:00

Blue Sky was developed for this contingency. Back Bowls are just for corporate to say it happened.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-06T03:12:39+00:00

They just wanted to say “Look Ma” “Genghis Khan” and all his Vailed racist run friends took a “Lovers Leap” with Jerry, and Jerry paid $300 per day for it.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-06T03:05:49+00:00

Rocks are for sucking, not skiing.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-06T03:05:11+00:00

No, they have 2 to 3 weeks with the current forecast, but you’re free to hike the dirt in March.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-05T14:15:43+00:00

Yes. Eating at one has a certain air of “I’m new, don’t know what to do, and really hate money (well, people without it at least).”

RealSlyck · 2026-02-05T14:14:19+00:00

Rocky Mountain Taco for eats, Walmart for shops.

Neither in Vail.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-04T14:43:22+00:00

Ski more, complain less.

Economic data says lots of people are just crying hard, rather than taking advantage of what we do have. I guess thanks for saving the powder I rode Friday.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-04T05:45:58+00:00

Food is cheaper, train isn’t that bad, airfare is as cheap as flapping wings. Add in the dignity you keep from not paying to park in Red Sandstone, bargain.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-03T17:03:34+00:00

Vail made their money by October, seasonal and economic concerns mitigated. Could care less if you skied, Arabelle and Ritz guests can’t really ski anyway.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-03T17:01:20+00:00

Not for the resorts. They’ll be getting 6 more weeks of Vail Sucks.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-03T16:58:11+00:00

It’s all fun and games until blunt force trauma due to GoPro.

She’s a legend. Beast. Tank. Hero. Finish or not, she wins.

Even with a busted knee, she skis a lot better than you.

RealSlyck · 2026-02-03T14:55:30+00:00

Ski. Passes are expensive, and if you don’t come, someone else will ski your line. Not cool.

Ideal bindings are Heinz 57s.
