just thought I'd throw this out there:

www.heavenlypass.com

I prefer southlake and it's like $299 for the season..can't beat that.
I know it's busy on the weekends and there are a ton of noobs, but if you stay on the nevada side and and go through the trees you never see 'em.
I have to agree with onemanarmy and Daredevil regarding Boreal and Flatstar.
I think kirkwood is having a deal on their season pass as well....

Happy trails to all....

 

I played golf there 2 summers ago. I could see some lifts from the window in my hotel room and I must say, those slopes look STEEP!
The whole time I was there I was thinking that I must get to Jackson Hole in the winter. From what I saw, it looked very fast and fun.

 

if you do wanna go out this winter
i can hook up free passes
lemme know, im there all season except for january, ill be snowboardin in the french alps then

 

wooo
only 100 more posts and i get my cool little pic

 

Daredevil....

you know it.....

I am down to hit jackson hole...I've been thinking of a place to travel to this year. I was thinking BC cause I have someplace to stay there but jacksonhole is sick too.

Have to figure out travel plans and a place to crash....bring a riding buddy with me...probably my brother. How's February?

 

i can't help with places to stay
but i can give you free boarding passes


like i said, any time but january, ill be in the alps

last year i drove out from the north bay, took me 15 hours to drive, so its not that horrible and much cheaper than flying

 

Still haven't got the WRX up into the snow. One of these days.

 

How about a meet in Whistler? How about Vail, the Heavenly pass gets you 5 days in Vail. I was also contemplating the Heavenly pass. Anyone else getting it?

 

i say you guys' come on out to jackson Hole :P
ski for free
and no i wont' bbe buying the heavenly pass because ill be gone

 

i didnt wanna start a new thread so i thought i would ask here. i still got the stock re92 and i was wondering how often does everyone on here have to put on chains when they go up to tahoe. i know on reall bad conditions, they require everone except for awd/4wd w/ snow tires. i will be going up there a couple of time and i was wondering how often am i gonna use tire chains. sorry for the newbie question but i already searched and couldnt come up with anything. thanks

 

Rarely. When the roads in tahoe are bad they close them so you can't drive them anyways. I always get waved through the checkpoints when they see I have a Subaru The re92's aren't that great in snow though. I have a set of winter tires I put on now, but I did use them for 2 seasons.

 

As someone who has lived in Michigan and Illinois near Chicago -- the roads up there are usually pretty good. I guess you should have chains along, but I've never needed chains in the Sierras, I think if it ever gets bad enough that you would need chains on an AWD vehicle, they close the roads.

Edit: I'll be on a business trip to Chicago later this week, and I'm stuck with a rental Grand Am, please God no snow! I'd rather be in a Neon . . .

 

thanks guys, thats what i needed to know.

 

you are required to carry chains tho. Probably never be an issue but it gives peace of mind. Particualry if you go off the beaten track.

I got Shur Grip Zs (stock # SZ 331) from Napa last year for about $60. It was a waste 'cause I end up never going up there last year.

If you are on a budget you can rent 'em but if you go up a few times then your better off buying them.
