Michelle Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I don't know if having access to food all the time is worse than actually eating while you are skiing/snowboarding....I just have no words. http://blogs.westword.com/cafesociety/2010/12/roving_mammoth_snow_cat_food_truck.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I saw one on Saturday at Mammoth, didn't stop in though. I don't mind the fact that the food is more accessible now, I'm a little worried about the litter that might result from this. Oh, and riding behind someone who just had one of those burritos. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobD Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 How about a sno-cat bar? On second thoughts, maybe not. I can only imagine the drinking games that would ensue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I thought you liked burritos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Right when the base area finally convinced us $3 burritos are worth $8, they go and do this. What's the premium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 because skiing to an on-mtn lodge is so difficult.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 "to serve hungry skiers in areas of the resort where they don't have easy access to food":freak3: Is there such an "area"? I bet these things spend most of they'er time parked at the top of terrain parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futahaguro Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 How about a sno-cat bar? On second thoughts, maybe not. I can only imagine the drinking games that would ensue.... Did anyone know that they used to have, maybe still do, bars made out of snow at some of the German slopes! I spoke with my German uncle, by marriage of my related aunt, that when he was younger he would hit the slopes for a couple of runs and then sit at the bars made out of snow and drink cold Schnapps! I love the idea of a bar made of snow! Why don't they do that here? You can already drink at the top of most mountains in the chalet so what's the difference?

carvin29 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I think it's really cool, if not horrible for the environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjvircks Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Each burrito wrapper should be worth $10.00, paid when you buy the burrito. You get your $10.00 back when you turn the paper back in at the coach or any lodge. That might help curtail some of the littering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinecure Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 They need to combine it with this stupid thing we have at Alpine Meadows. I call it the Disco Cat. The "box" like thing on the back is really a stage - the sides fold down. They can put a DJ or even a band up there. Even without the DJ or Band, the speakers atop the cab crank out music. They park it at various spots around the hill. It is pretty cool at the Ice Bar we have on the back side on sunny spring days. But it seems like they could have spent the money in a more productive way. Galen: Keep in mind this is at Mammoth. That place lives up to its name. I'd be this thing will be popular in the right place at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be this thing will be popular in the right place at the right time. Bottom of 4, top of 15, top of 22/25, the mega intersection at 16/4/21, top of 1 and 2... so many places where this would make mega bucks. I am going to try it as soon as I have a chance. I spent most of my time at June away from MMSA due to the crowds last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110/220V Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 nek you do not miss much else than crowds of money, big car with slapping chain and sassy American kids chastise the parent...but that crowd has migrated south with smoke from their a55 as soon as the road was cleared and 10USD tube of bean and fake cheese? a simple 2dollar nonfood like hotdog could make so much more revenue for resort concession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sad part. Instead of packing a PB&J or powerbar in your jacket, they'll pay that because they have money, big car with sassy bratty kids, and attitude. At least, that's how it is here.

Petrol Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 because skiing to an on-mtn lodge is so difficult.:rolleyes: at some hills I've been to the problem is Not skiing TO the lodge for a quick snack... the Problem is the extended walking/waiting on line to get the snack and then waiting in the liftline from Hell with all the sheeple & never-evers in hopes of making it back out on the slopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
