pow4ever Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Was hoping that SES will go on forever until I was old and grey. It doesn't appear there might be a meet up at Aspen this coming winter season. Anyone know if I can still renew if I skipped a year? Thanks in advance.

JohnE Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'd guess no. I've bought a Classic Pass every year for the last 10 or so but even if there was a gathering this year, I'll likely not attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 We were told once you purchase the initial pass in-person you can subsequently renew from out of state only if you do so each and every season. "For those guests who did not have a 2017-2018 Classic Pass, purchases for each passholder must be made in-person at one of our ticket offices beginning October 8 through November 18, 2018." https://www.aspensnowmass.com/plan-your-stay/tickets-and-passes/classic-pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Shame, that was a good deal. Aspen is a magical place, but going last year with just a handful of others made me realize how much of that magic was in the large and diverse group of carvers. I likely won't be back to Aspen unless another session is planned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softbootsurfer Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Actually, Joerg and his annual group, has been coming for a week, just prior to the Sessions for near 20 years...as for a great group of Carvers, never have met a friendlier more Stoked group of riders... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thank you JohnE and Pat for the great info! Corey: Last season; the initial lack of snow also put a damper on things. It did recover nicely. I agreed 100% that the stoke/energy/positive vibe comes from the crowd. Almost comparable to running alone vs running in NYC marathon. Aspen will always be magical to me lol... Bob: Thank you for the reminder. Joerg and pureboarding crew does make the pilgrimage to Aspen annually. I wonder if their plan will change this time around. One will need leg of steel and lung of an elite endurance athlete to keep up with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardio generally + strength work for legs and core are essential. 2/ Pre-acclimatisation for Aspen's altitude. Acetazolamide has it's uses. Sift the chaff from the wheat when it comes to remedies for altitude sickness. 3/ Isolation plates reduce quads fatigue. 4/ Good technique enables carving with much less effort, all other things being equal. 5/ Don't do the waist strap on your body armour/spine protector up too tight! Been there, done that, and wondered why I was so out of shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 For those of us couldn't/lucky enough to make it to MCT for whatever reason. Work/family/outstanding warrant in MT and etc... Do they call me Shamus the bridge builder? Anyone else heading to Aspen the 2nd week of Feb 2019? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
