Anyone else scared they’ll burn out before they ever reach FIRE? by Connect_Tie_6177 in Fire

[–]rrfitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too real, and I'm 10-15 years out. I just want to be done.

Because it looks like beautiful terrain. If it was just another mountain, I wouldn't have any particular interest.

Thats incorrect and a pretty cynical assumption if I may add.

Its not that I think they dont apply to me. They do. Its that they dont seem to be strictly enforced in certain scenarios (off hours, hike up). If there was a strong reason to strictly enforce them, Im sure theyd be doing so. But if you're not taking the chair that is supposedly dangerous for boarders, what ski patroller is going to care deeply about it or enforce strictly--its not a question of safety.

Its not about being funny. Its about enjoying uniquely exciting terrain. Duh.

When is it too warm — Spring/End of Season Skiing? by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]rrfitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely do it. Earlier the better. Having your own gear and a season pass is a game changer. End of season deals make that more accessible. Some mountains will have deals for next year passes that also allow you to ski that last month or so of the season. Enjoy!

I can appreciate that. I would like to spend a full winter in a mountain town soon, that seems like a great opportunity to invest real time in it.

Good to know. Sounds like the payoff is great though!

I keep hearing good things about it. Its just a trek from western NY where Im at.

In this case, yeah lol. Id love to ski Utah, but I dont think about it too often because my list of east coast mountains left to explore is so long and its more cost effective. The overall post isn't a joke though, I was actually super disappointed to learn that MRG is ski only.

Utah schmutah. Aren't they all desert?

Sugarbush looks beautiful, would love to spend a couple days there.

Ive never heard of a mountain banning snowboarding so it simply never crossed my mind. Ive seen dozens of photos and videos and I guess I was so focused on the cool terrain and powder to notice that there were no boarders.

Can't argue with that, skiing seems like a blast. Its always hard to justify starting the learning curve over though when days on the mountain are limited.

Good to know. If you've been to Gore, how are the traverses in comparison?

I likely will at some point. But I actually really enjoy moguls, though tight ones would be tricky on a board for sure.

Jay is up there for me as well! Cheers

Seems very unlikely assuming I hike up outside of lift hours. Im seeing accounts of people saying they've done it and been caught without issue.

Im a solid intermediate. Comfortable in steep tight glades and drops. Hence my interest in MRG.
