Yuns posted:I ride in NJ so I know your pain. Still, I love riding and it's great having my local resort an easy 50 minute drive away. I am out there every day I can be and it allows me to get 40-50 days every year. Even a terrible conditions day beats not riding. It's really what you make of it. A ton of my friends won't ski nor ride here and only ski when they travel out west so they end up getting like 7 days a year and never really improve. It’s a good point. I’m one of those people currently since I have to travel by plane to ski. I think the best place people mentioned near where I’ll be at Peek’n Peak, which has 25 runs and some blacks. I think someone also mentioned Holiday Valley if I want to drive a little further. Definitely better than nothing. Where do you ski from NJ?

Got in a bunch of runs at Steamboat in but they closed the Gondola early and deprived me of one more. I only wiped out once!

Day 2 of steamboat: my legs are cut to poo poo because the condo clubhouse locked us out when we were in the hot tub. Luckily we were able to go back to the condo via the garage and get a spare keycard to get our stuff from inside the clubhouse. This of course meant running through waist deep snow only in a bathing suit when it was 10F. I’m guessing the ice crystals in the snow cut up my legs because the cuts are all superficial but everywhere. Ski boots should be fun. RIP.

Same. I’m firmly in the camp of having just a shell that you can add layers to for warmth as needed. OP - I’ve found a lot of last years jackets and ski clothes with tags for super cheap on eBay. I got my North Face jacket shell and removable fleece for $100, retail was close to $300.

Suspicious Package posted:Thanks. I tried the jacket in a store and the insulation did not seem to be too much, so I’m sure I’d be happy with it in most instances. Not that exact one but very similar.

Eldora is decent, especially for the convenience factor. Also, if you get up early on your days off then you are actually getting to sleep in on your workdays. Mind games.

Razzled posted:For you guys who have to travel to go ski, what $ amount makes a trip worth it for you? That seems like a lot. I can get SW flights for dirt cheap to Denver (~$200), rental is $30/day, around $90 total with taxes for 2 days. If I go to Purgatory I can fly to ABQ on allegiant (not that bad) for $40-$60 round trip and drive up from there. I always spring for the cheapest Airbnb on solo trips that won’t get you murdered, I’ve found these as low as $30/nt for a room. Generally I’m on the runs from open to close so I’m only in the room to shower and immediately fall asleep.

HookShot posted:We got 40cm of snow overnight, but literally snow at 0 - +1 degree celcius, so it's thick af, the winds are high, the mountain isn't opening, and a whole bunch of people are whining on Facebook that Vail won't let them go up and die in an avalanche in the world's thickest powder ever hahaha. If Vail wouldn’t get sued to oblivion then I’d say just let them naturally select out of the population.

I can barely hear anything skiing due to the wind noise plus the helmet covering your ears, I never understood the speaker.

Eejit posted:Side zips have the advantage over thigh zips of not shooting a load of snow onto your junk when you take an unexpected turn through the deep Crotch zips are great for ventilation though, much better place for airflow than the outside. Usually if I go down I’m on the outside so snow coming in through the crotch zip is more rare.
