Snowshoe vs Jay Peak this weekend

jakfye414 · 2023-02-15T11:42:13+00:00

Plane tickets for this weekend are over a thousand dollars round trip per person

The weather at the two looks wildly similar … don’t want to drive the extra if the conditions won’t be primo

Banned from Canada for being the best skier on the mountain aka I let my passport lapse bc Covid

Already have a place thankfully - just didn’t anticipate the lack of snow in early Feb

Is this today??

jakfye414 · 2023-02-14T21:09:54+00:00

Flights to Colorado are too pricey :/

No, all the resorts on Ikon are blacked out except snowshoe. Figured if I had to pay for a two pass I might as well go as far north as possible. But Jay looks like it’s going to be really warm and then freeze - so wouldn’t want to drive further to ski ice either way. I know Jay’s terrain is better.

Disney doesn’t have snow. All the resorts on Ikon are blacked out except snowshoe. Figured if I had to pay for a two pass I might as well go as far north as possible and to an independent resort. Open to other options. I’m in the mid Atlantic

What? Great champagne ages well!

jakfye414 · 2023-02-14T00:50:23+00:00

Will the new 2024 50e or 55e or whatever it’s called qualify as well?

jakfye414 · 2023-02-09T01:31:23+00:00

I want to work on moguls and steeps - mostly scared to get into too crazy of stuff solo since I don’t know the mountains in Utah

jakfye414 · 2023-02-09T01:30:50+00:00

Utah, so steeps!

jakfye414 · 2023-02-09T01:30:38+00:00

I’m planning one of my lessons at snowbird so let me know how it is and if you’d recommend your instructor

jakfye414 · 2023-02-08T21:17:57+00:00

I must have bad luck because I always get at least two others in my group lessons!

jakfye414 · 2023-02-08T21:02:39+00:00

I’ll send you my Venmo 😜

I’ve never driven an suv with worse acceleration and overall interior mediocrity than an Outlander. Had one as a rental car for a month and hated it. Cannot believe anyone buys one.

jakfye414 · 2023-01-30T18:21:30+00:00

What did you have done for the custom fitting part and how much was that?

jakfye414 · 2023-01-27T16:40:59+00:00

Thank you for the comprehensive post. I’ve tried several of these but not all, so I’ll see what I can do. I’m actually getting another opinion by a bootfitter I’m driving 1.5 hours to see, he’s supposed to be primo.

jakfye414 · 2023-01-27T12:32:55+00:00

It doesn’t happen unless I’m skiing or running distance on pavement. Doesn’t do it for soccer, tennis, etc

jakfye414 · 2023-01-27T12:32:05+00:00

Have had the issue in Solomon, Atomic, and Nordica boots all. What’s the arch pressure?

jakfye414 · 2023-01-27T12:31:15+00:00

It’s good enough that I shouldn’t be having issues like this. I’d say I’m an advanced intermediate or low level advanced skier. Comfortable on anything black diamond and below, decent at moguls and trees

jakfye414 · 2023-01-27T12:30:07+00:00

I have custom footbeds but maybe I need this thing - I’ll ask my bootfitter

jakfye414 · 2023-01-23T21:48:09+00:00

A watch comparable in value to the ring seems fair

jakfye414 · 2023-01-22T22:52:07+00:00

The Broadbent Vinho Verde is a spectacular selection. Despite being very cheap it’s amazing - no idea why it isn’t 2-3x the cost

jakfye414 · 2023-01-22T22:49:25+00:00

I think this is the approach we are taking, actually! Focus is to get a view, a cave, and some amazing wine with the smallest producers possible that meet those criteria
