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

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.

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?

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. Posted via RS Mobile |

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! Posted via RS Mobile |

Posted via RS Mobile | 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. Posted via RS Mobile |
