An interesting thing should mention, I started posting here just before the new lifts and other upgrades were implemented. I was all about it. The fast chairs, the snowmaking and whatever else. I was a cheerleader for the ski area with anyone I talked to and I still support them for most of the decisions they’ve made. I’ve never been one to expect them to cater to me or you know “the local ski culture”. It’s a business, bottom line so I’m not sour at all but it’s time to move on. I love skiing, I always will but I’ve spent so many years hyper focused on it. It was my identity for a long time. It’s how I saw value in myself when I didn’t believe I had much else to offer this world. It’s been my therapist and my savior but it’s also held me back from having new and different experiences. So, it’s kind of a blessing in disguise that the new Snowbowl experience isn’t something I want to partake in anymore. The timing is right.
Anyways, wtf was my original point? Oh yeah, I probably agree with some of you (posters on this board) more than ever that there’s a lot of value having mom and pop type ski areas around and there’s beauty in simplicity.
Harvs B-Day Plattekill post looked so freaking good to me. It looked peaceful, I don’t think anyone would say that about a powder day at a major Vail or Altera ski area.
