Well, someone's gotta be the most expensive and for DV, exclusivity was always their thing. Of course the majority of s DV skiers will use their Ikon pass anyway. Still less than half the price of greens fees at the nicest golf clubs.WOW!

Sure, but golfing sucks.
I lived across the street from the 12th hole of a public golf course in Queens until I was 15. From 3rd thru 9th grade we'd hop the fence and play 9 holes after school. I moved out to LI and my parents joined a country club where golf was extra to play. I've never played again. Two of my friends went on to get scholarships for golf.
I'm saving golf and fishing for when I'm too banged up to do the things I really enjoy.
Perhaps you could combine these 2
Sorry, I know, thread drift...
I believe that is called Florida.

Agree with all that but still sticker shock.
Had my reservation for day one of the season tomorrow. No way I'm waking up at 5 and driving to find out they're closed again tomorrow. My guess is not a water main break since they would have published that.

update
Hunter Mountain will not be opening today, Jan. 5. The safety of our employees and guests is our top priority and we will always ensure that we have sufficient safety personnel available for mountain operations prior to opening. Unfortunately, this morning at Hunter Mountain, a number of ski patrollers excluded out of work relating to COVID-19 and as such we will not be opening the mountain. Guests who arrived to the resort but were unable to ski or ride are being provided with a complementary lift ticket coupon for use on another day. We will be assessing our ability to operate tomorrow, Jan. 6, and will share that information as soon as possible later today. We sincerely apologize to our guests for the inconvenience
ya DV is certainly doing what it can to keep you from showing up day of and buying a ticket. Whats funny is that I got 3 free passes last year from an old utah friend of mine...even free, there was still like $60 in fees lol. But if nice is what you are looking for, there is no place nicer that I have ever been to than DV.....Its certainly an experience, my family LOVED it... Personally, tho, I prefer the opposite of nice....shit hole with good terrain, terrible lodge, no grooming, no hotel, etc. But thats me.
Oh after 19 years...I FINALLY bought myself new skis...at least for around here anyway. I have been using my salomon 1080 vincent dorion editions since 2001. They were fabulous and ill miss them, but they finally delaminated and came apart....I might actually see if I can find another set on ebay
But after demo'ing a set of Volkl Deacon 84s, 177s I decided to go with them.

This is what I heard earlier today.
And I also heard that the amount of kooks showing up there has been all time. More jerks that don't know how to ski and are looking for fights than normal even for Hunta.

Closed again tomorrow
Deer Valley is awesome, and it’s got some great terrain. With minimal work, skating, or the smallest walk/hike, yiu can get fresh snow, days after a storm. I really don’t know of anywhere else that has stashes so easily accessible that last. Most other mountains are tracked out within a an hour or at least before lunch. I use to use the free lift ticket you would get with your boarding pass, and ikon the last few years. Its definitely expensive. The on mountain food is about the same as most other resorts, but man, that’s unbelievable also. You pay for it, but they get it right over there.
The terrain is VASTLY better than it was in the 90s when I lived in PC...Its like a different mountain now. I had two friends in HS whose moms both worked at the mountain...we could ski there and eat there for free and we still never wanted to go bc it was boring lol....but I dont feel that way anymore...They really added some nice stuff....and I agree, its easy to get into the fun stuff without too much hiking. Its not the intense kind of terrain at snowbird persay, but still really good. And skiing in the aspens with my 6 year old was an absolute blast.
