What’s the saying? “If you can’t take the heat then stay out of the kitchen!”
Happy New Year NYSB people!

all it took was 5 days of skiing at 12000 feet and I got the morning to myself to ski some steeps - to be fair my some probably would have skiid all of this faster than me, just not in better form.
Got some dad time haha

Totally get it.
I'm not saying I'll never ski again, that's not it. It simply isn't going to be a priority in my life anymore. First of all, it doesn't snow around here anymore more.....LoL

Water. I had a total of two drinks out here - 10,000
Feet and alcohol don’t work well for me.
No altitude sickness. I just had my first great night of sleep. Other nights have been good but waking up thirsty and drinking every few hours.
Both drinks were at meals and I could not finish them.

My daughter's boyfriend wanted to learn to ski this year. He's never skied, and is probably interested mostly because he wants to be part of our daughter's life.
He changed his mind based on the cost of two days of skiing. Lift tickets, ski rental (choose between a more somewhat sane process for a season rental, or the insane process of renting at the mountain - both expensive) and we thought he should have at least one lesson.
Basically the initial investment scared him away. (I volunteered to pay for the lesson.)
You guys can't expect Vail to act in the best interest of skiing. That's not how it works. None of us run our business for the good of all, we do what we do to be profitable. Why would Vail be any different? Once you add the whole "publicly traded" thing into the mix, you can't expect motivations to extend much beyond the next quarter.
