Corey Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Sweet, that's enough time to get a few groom cycles on that fresh snow to get it ready for us! Sweet grippy cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 NES schedule: Morning: Meet in lodge. Go riding. Noon: Eat yummy lunch, sometimes too much. Afternoon: Ride again. Meet at Steve's house to laugh and cheer at pictures and eat pizza one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 So no tix at my local Costco and Liftopia has no deals this weekend. Any season pass holders able to help out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I didn't get a season pass this year, or else I'd absolutely help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 My local Costco only has lift tickets for the big destination resorts. But there's a Costco at 2853 32 St NE, not too far from the airport. I'll swing by there on the way out of the airport on Thursday. Neil, should I get some for you too?

crackaddict Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Will anyone be riding Nakiska on Thursday? I'm gettin' pretty sick of the constant powder here in Revelstoke; I have two new Coilers I really want to try but the corduroy is buried deep here. (#firstworldproblems) Yup, I'll take good cord over decent powder any day. Nobody around here understands that, but maybe some Bomber folks do. (Having said that, I will be in line early tomorrow for a another round on my favorite pow lines before driving east...) So? Shred Thursday? Anyone? Also, is Norquay any good for carving? There were rumours of fast, steep groomers there. Is it true? Are they wide and smooth or narrow and rolling? I haven't ridden there or Nakiska yet. Recommendations?

crackaddict Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Okay... Just called the Stoney Nakoda Lodge to reserve and it turns out they offer a great ski and stay package: $160 per night includes two lift tickets each night! Catch is, the tickets are for Thursday and Friday only. So... if anyone wants to join me Thusday I've got a free lift ticket for them.

We don't get powder, it's cold, and the hills are small. But the ski season is only 3 months long to make up for it! LOL! #whatamidoinghere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackaddict Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yeah Corey, When we decided to settle down it was a toss up between Manitoba and BC... In the end we chose BC because the mosquitoes are smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Stevens Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 How does a season pass holder help out someone who isn't? I have a pass, so let me know what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pass, so let me know what I can do. Upthread, someone mentioned that season pass holders can get a limited number of discounted lift tickets. I think you'd have to be there, so unless you are planning to attend NES you probably can't help. Thanks for the offer. OTOH I'd love to see you out there. We've been chatting for a lot of years now.

Riceball Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 For the RCR season's pass, it looks like you need to have a Login for their site that is attached to your pass. This allows you to print off coupons. 8 for individual and 12 for family. These coupons should have the lift ticket discount for family and friends. I'll see if I can print off my coupons prior to Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I have a rental car this year, so I won't need to bug you for rides. Edited January 10, 2018 by Neil Gendzwill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackaddict Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Corduroy Report for Nakiska Issued Thursday, January 11th 2018 3:20pm: The corduroy is excellent. Firm but diggable; not icy. Very smooth. 9/10. Also very cold and sticky. Bring your big boards, apply your hardest wax tonight.

Neil Gendzwill Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ditto! Nice seeing all my old friends, meeting some new ones, and finally making turns with Rob after 10 years or so of online friendship.
