Killington has a super senior (80 and over) pass this year that's $39 and no blackout dates!
Sounds like you need different set of ski friends.It annoys me when a group of us go together and I'm pressured to not bother with lessons "because you don't need them" or "we came away to ski together" or "save your money for the bar". Yes my friends are a lot of fun and they are pretty fearless but they are not actually great skiers (not that I am) and they sometimes worry me with the decision making of which runs to take at what speed. Straightlining the hill is all well and good when your trying to maintain momentum for the upcoming flat/incline but not for enjoying a great run, besides, the less time spent on lifts the better.
Sorry to upset you. I didn't mean to imply that that was the only senior discount... I'm just impressed that there are people over 80 who still ski regularly!
2. Sharing the mountain with boarders who sit down in the snow in really stupid places (like on corners of narrow runs, or just over the brow of rollers) then complain loudly if a teeny bit of your snowplume goes over them! Don't sit down there then!!
I can get a really impressive rooster tail out of my Rossi S3s if I want to. I make sure to do that when I find boarders having a picnic or holding a conference call in the middle of the run. The joys of being able to turn exactly where I want to, and to do it on a dime.
I would want to change....the way my butt looks in ski pants. When I ski, my butt looks so amazing that I find I attract a huge group of male admirers.....and the whole thing just ends up being a big distraction.
6. Jerks who execute GS turns on crowded blue slopes at 45 mph are summarily executed by having their heads chopped off with the edge of a ski that requires a tune.
3. Low rise ski pants.
What's the deal with low-rise ski pants? I don't get it....isn't that just a preference? I happen to dislike high-rise ski pants....so I don't buy them. Has there been a problem with people buying pants that are supposed to be normal-rise and they end up being low-rise? This is like the 4th time I've seen them mentioned on the forum lately, and with great disdain! LOL
I realize, just curious.
I think the problem is that the low-rise has become so prevalent, and normal or high-rise are harder to find. Not only do low-rise not suit me (age-wise and figure-wise), but I just don't want to risk snow going where it doesn't belong. I'm waiting for bibs to come back. Maybe if all styles, cuts, colours, etc were represented equally in the market...
