6PM is not a "night run." 10PM maybe, but not 6PM. Lots of people going up for night skiing around that time.

I LOOOOVE QUATTRO

Ripped around in some deepish snow first time today with the new Audi. AWD = best. plowing through everything with %50 snowies... And shitty ones too.

Also, border line was non existent today because everyone was scared to leave their houses. Boo ya.

you do realize evening rates start at 4pm right. they only close at 10? wow so that must be, like, your bed time or something. to me 6pm is considered. evening/night time considering it gets dark at around 430. Nope i did not read the thread. could really careless that you got your honda stuck in the snow. Good thing two guys were able to help you shovel. no way in hell would you be able to do that alone. you sound like an idiot so no point in trolling.

hope you dont get stuck next time, better bring chains and a snow plow.

i do not follow, the mountain closes at 10pm. so how do you do a 'night run' when the mountain is closed?

not being rude on this one just curious, have not been boarding in two years since my concussion.

edit: just glanced their web site, unless pass sales end at 10 and mountain is open later?

I stopped and started with minimal wheel spin on a fairly steep Seymour hill, Only ran into some trouble once i got to the top and stopped in some foot deep drifts... I suspect ground clearence (lack of it) was also a big factor in this however, Some wheel spin and I was out. On the way down, Even fairly hard braking yielded great results, with minimal anti lock. Great overall tire for the money! Highly reccomended by me... (140/corner) Car is an 07 Civic Si.
+1 on those tires. Went up Baker opening day last year (plenty of snow on the road) and didn't have a single issue while there were plenty of 4x4's in the ditch.

I just came back from baked on Saturday and the upper part of the road to baker there were no ditches. If you lose control you basically become a pin ball. That's how much snow is up there right now.

I have no idea why you are talking about lift tickets here.

No Idea your relevance to anything said, but still can't come up with anything half decent to type so you quote a movie??? I still don't follow on the night run which I kindly commented cause I don't understand how you go at 10am to board or ski when that's when the mountain closes.

I'll get some snow pictures up tmrw from up here to add to the thread!

You just seem to be coming in here to shit on the guy for getting stuck, and then ranting about his bedtime and lift tickets, its just way out of left field. However to add some relevance to something at this point. How deep was it up there? I heard it dumped today/this evening.

This is the yard. It's getting warmer up here so it's not as much of an icy yard as it was before. Maybe about 2-3' on the untouched areas.
