Well said.
@UtahJoe this is why we only do weekdays this season. Great place to go mid week if you can swing it.
Ya I wish I could have this week, but wasnt possible....in all, despite the insane lift ticket line...the slow lifts do make the actual skiing experience better...definitely less people on the hill per run. So thats nice, at no point did I worry about my son getting run over like I do constantly at shawnee for example
All and all it was a great day....Met up with
@Chris26er and his daughter, we stuck together mostly....She took my son on a couple of runs so 6er and I could go smash some bumps.......god I miss skiing bumps...When i lived in Park city...there is a lift there called Thaynes...and there are 3 great bump runs off that lift...double jack, thaynes, and the hoist.....I used to spend all day there somedays just hitting them over and over and over until I was dam near broken lol.
lol, certainly no zipper lines around these parts, but ill take whatever i can get and be happy
My timing isnt what it used to be and im out of practice, but god is this fun
So we made it all day...my sons first real day with ski poles...he was doing fabulous....I was so happy...BUT THEN...last run of the day, he wanted to try the moguls...When I was 6, my dad didnt ski moguls...EVER...he was a sunday cruise kind of skier...so I would have never gone anywhere near a bump run at that age...but well he asked me, so i was like...ok, if you want to, lets do...well, now its the end of the day and very icy between the bumps...needless to say, this was a mess...so that should cure any desire he has for moguls for a little while.
you can get a look at the lift lines here, id say about 15min on average really...bc there are 2 lifts running
great things about elk tho...I think it was 75-80 for us to ski...and my son was free.
@Zeke aka Zaskar I do want to check out windham, its someplace that I havent skied since I was little kid....but the tickets are $40 MORE than bellayre and im like...is it THAT much better?
