Should have stuck to the Vista Bahn gondola at Vail with all of the college kids smoking weed. With some cool alternative rock station blaring. The guy must have been a decent skier
or he would not even have been able to get to Blue Sky Basin. You can't get there by lift. You have to ski to it.
I skied there hundreds of times when in college. Season passes for students were ridiculously cheap. I think they were $200 for freshmen and $400 after that. I don't even want to know what a one-day lift ticket costs there now. It would not surprise me if it's close to $100. |

I am usually able to use my friend’s “friend pass” for a day or two when I go. You get several of those with an Epic/season pass. |

Alternative rock music always sound better at a ski area for some reason.

I haven't skied since I broke my back in 2002, but Vail is amazing. Arapahoe Basin is the best ski place in Colorado, but you can't really ski there as a beginner, probably not intermediate either, at least not when I lived there and granted that was 20 years ago... Smaller crowds and no kids. It was a dream place to ski on days when you know Vail would be packed. |

the back bowls of Vail over anything else.

The lack of crowds was always the best part of A-Basin. Not sure if the secret has gotten out. |
