    I shopped around for discounts but not worth the hassle for the small discounts available. The Vail slopes had better be good as they are among the most expensive I have ever come across.

      My wife booked a day late and didn't get tickets for Monday as she wanted. She got Tuesday instead. She told me she would be able to get tickets once we get there, though. Did you get my last e-mail?

      Yep, just replied Dave πŸ‘

        Yeah, I looked into year passes when we moved out here this last summer....and Wow Vail is quite a bit more expensive than almost every other resort.

        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

            whenever I've skied in Colorado, I bought daily passes from Walmart or SevenEleven...

            hugely discounted with the days food rations or a bottle of wine...

            might be worth checking their sites...

                        It's probably too late now, but I would have thought a company as big as Trimble could have organised some sort of corporate discount for ski passes as a perk for basecampers.

                                Packed all the stuff tonight. Will be at the Cascade Saturday afternoon. Hitting the slopes on Sunday. I imagine there is a bar we can meet up for those arriving early to maybe coordinate a few runs together on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

                                  To everyone going to base camp, have a brilliant time, take photos and video to share with all us not going, and don't do anything I would do.

                                    I believe that Vail allows uphill traffic, bring your skins and save your cash for scotch. I'll be trying to get in a morning run before camp starts.

                                        I bet the SketchUp folks weren't hoping for road closures when they planned an event in Vail this late in the season.

                                          I made it as far as Fresno CO and had to pull off and find a place to stay.
                                          Hope the sailing is clear in the morning, Vail is not seeming like the smartest place to hold this right now, and I have to eat the cost of the room that I can't make it to. They told me no changes after 21days before.

                                          a sucky start.
