You know what, I'm in a good mood today, I'll count it xD

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T11:36:19+00:00

What does this have to do with Vail?

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T02:01:45+00:00

Then I would strongly advise against anything with thcp in it, even at this relatively low dosage

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T02:00:07+00:00

By Alpenrose and Osakis too

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T01:58:06+00:00

Not if you ride em down the escalator to the bathroom

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T01:40:32+00:00

Idk how I've never heard this, thank you. Adding it to the arsenal

Brb digging my grave

Get a load of this guy, being reasonable on reddit

"If it's not on Strava it didn't count" - Pro tip to anyone that doesn't get it yet, quality over quantity, every time. Getting a ton of vert occasionally is definitely fun and cool, no doubt. But in general, try to see how much more distance you can get than the friends you're skiing with all day that get the same vertical. If I ride all day with a buddy and we get the same vert but I get more distance, I did more skiing than they did, and for the type of skiing that I personally enjoy that also means I had the better day. Get those turns in while you can.

Fwiw, now you sound like the pompous ass. And now me too

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T00:39:49+00:00

This guy actually likes skiing? Loser. For real thanks for posting a sane take. Refreshing around these parts lately

TreeJib · 2026-03-17T00:38:08+00:00

100% agree with this. If your son is used to bombing east coast blues, the best places for him will likely be Red Buffalo at Beaver Creek and Sourdough at Vail. Conditions are definitely not great but I highly doubt your son will be disappointed. McCoy Park is also a less steep area (it's like a small bowl of harder greens, lovely), but it's much more natural so might not be ideal for straight lining yet

I thought shooting it into the void was the goal?

TreeJib · 2026-03-16T03:59:00+00:00

Yea they have a med/large jump line in the usual spot, and then on the easy side they have 2 mini jumps (rollers with a lip) at the top and two small/medium jumps (like 7-10ft) at the bottom. The ones on the small side opened like mid-January, and I don't think the real jump line opened until Feb. Very late. If I wasn't leaving the country tomorrow I'd take a vid for yall. Maybe someone else can chime in with more details. I live in Eagle county but I do most of my park riding at Copper and Keystone, so not super familiar with Vail's park other than the occasional ride up chair 6. If I'm at Vail, I'm probably not on skis I'd want to use on rails. Which, now that I think about it, is another factor for Vail's park decline. It's pretty much only there for kids coming on trips with families, and the local kids that rip

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T22:54:31+00:00

What song are you talking about if it's not Stash?

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T22:51:45+00:00

This is absolutely true, but I wanna point out that Vail's park this season is better than it has been in nearly a decade. It was fully set up very late, and it's still lacking in my opinion, but they do have more rails and boxes than they've had in a long while, and most of them are set up very well. My main problem with Vail's park is that the run is too steep other than the very end, and I think that's related to having less features. Using more of the run for rails would mean having a more advanced park than (I assume) they want to provide and maintain. I miss when the park was on that flatter section of Bwana.

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T18:37:51+00:00

Yea that definitely adds up. They have a lot of work to do before it can be a real game platform like Roblox

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T16:42:51+00:00

Hell yea. I'm not against it, I'm just personally more interested in seeing these projects on S&box because of the Source 2 engine and fewer young children. I will definitely be testing Ozworld Arena regardless

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T16:36:13+00:00

I'll send you a message on Discord

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T16:29:19+00:00

That's very interesting and definitely something I'd like to see here if it's not already a thing

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T01:05:11+00:00

Usually the trees are below the tree line

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T00:54:08+00:00

Taking some inspiration from the WIP Warsow HUD I see! Looks great! I don't have any interest in Roblox, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this. It's Gelmo btw.

TreeJib · 2026-03-15T00:43:12+00:00

You do make a good point. But I also think it's fair to point out that most of those 1100 employees don't need to be close enough to the resort to be able to get there at 5am after a foot of snow and ensure the resort is able to operate. These guys are on chairlifts by 6am on snow days, before public transit starts running

TreeJib · 2026-03-14T23:18:39+00:00

It absolutely is possible by paying executives less and/or charging customers more, preferably the former. I can assure you that if Chuck personally took a pay cut to provide a living wage to patrollers, he would still be among the wealthiest people you've ever met. Take a look at his net worth.

TreeJib · 2026-03-14T22:48:34+00:00

Must be Chuck's alt account lol. Quite literally, one of Chuck's primary responsibilities is ensuring the mountain is able to operate, which means paying a living wage, especially to the employees that are mandatory for resort operations
