    Are you talking about just getting from Gunnison Airport to Crested Butte?

     

    Yes. And up the ~1/2 mile private road that leads to the house. (it's pretty steep) Think I'll be fine if it's plowed and I've got 4WD?

    Sorry for the noob question, just don't want to start the trip off with a big L if possible.

  2. Anyone have recs for some cheap emergency snow chains that I could travel with? I reserved a 4WD Ram via Turo because renting a big SUV in Gunnison was going to be close to $2k for a week. It looks like the truck has pretty new Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires on it in the pictures, but those have terrible reviews online about their performance in the snow. There's a 4WD 4Runner I'll have access to once I get to the house in CB, but there's also a pretty steep road to get up to the house. 

    These are probably not viable for a drive through a hairy mountain pass, but I'm thinking about 2 sets of these for the rear tires or something similar just in case there is fresh snow on the road up to the house. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and won't need anything at all. I know that road gets plowed after every significant snow so it might not be an issue in a 4WD truck.

    I know one of you is going to CB... 2" fresh today and it looks like they're slowly opening more terrain.

    It's looking better and better. I keep checking the web cam and wishing I was out there right now - there's no one there.

    He’s a bully.

     

    Harden went back at him at least. I keep hoping he tries it (or accidentally hits) someone with no more fucks to give who will give it back and put him in his place.

    So much this. Someone laying his ass out (Kermit Washington style) is the only way he stops being such a sorry POS. 
     

    In that video above Draymon is choking Gobert out and KAT is just trying to wedge his hand in there, wtf? He should have had his nose broke right then.

  5. I still play some with my sons and nephew. We got a squad win earlier today and it's still pretty damn exciting when everyone is in the same room grinding for the W.

    The new Lego mode they added is not for me, but my younger son and his cousin love it. It's basically Minecraft but your character is a lego version of the skins you already have. They stayed up late last night building a massive castle together.

    I know I'm a hypocrite, but I manage our recycling bin carefully. I sort through family inattention and toss in the garbage that which should not be recycled and it irritates the heck out of me. when we wash dishes I wash out dirty plastic. our recycle bin is full of reasonably clean material that as far as I know can be recycled.  I get if there isn't demand it gets trashed, but I don't want to ruin a batch because we put the wrong stuff in or put in rotten milk in a milk carton in the mix. I have a friend that argues with his recycle truck guy over the plastic bags you can take to HEB but can't recycle in the bin, he tells the guy it's recyclable and that they sort it at the facility. the truck driver gave up and takes his recycling, i'm 100% positive it ends up causing most of that truck run being trashed.

    on the good news front we have our trash can down to two standard sized kitchen trash bags a week for a family of 4. I'm happy about that. I'd like to add composting next not sure how to do it. we would spread on our yard.  once we do that, I'm confident the planet will be saved from destruction, thank you very much.

    Have you seen these composting disposal systems? I need them to get a bit cheaper, but our house is on a septic system and I loathe cleaning out the drain screen that keeps all the junk from going into the septic.

    My wife and daughter are massive T Swift fans. I'm not crazy about most of her music, but I went to the movie a few weeks ago because my daughter asked me to go. I left more impressed with her than I thought was possible. She's an impressive performer, business woman, human being, etc. that comes across as very confident and powerful while still having compassion and empathy for all the people around her. Some of the Swifties that are old enough to vote are the type of women who organize and are active politically already. (my wife is at least) They also have enough money to support candidates and causes financially as well. But getting the Swiftie machine spun up will bring a ton of new voters into the fray.

    The long and short of it is, small-faced Charlie poking this bear is one of the most self destructive things that the GQP could do going into '24. Maybe 2nd only to nominating Dotard as their POTUS candidate again.

    I wrote a long, and what I consider informative reply, and the tech ate it. *Frustrating*

    For cheap go to Powder Mountain, Grand Targhee, Sunlight or Powderhorn.

    If not, buy an Epic season pass and use buddy passes or work through your lodging provider for a discount (doubtful).

    You’re paying Highland Park prices going to Crested Butte between Christmas and New Year’s for nothing. None of the steeps will be open (not that your family is hucking cliffs).

    Ahh man, hate it when that happens.
     

    I’ve got a free place to stay at CB so that’s why we are headed there. 
     

    I guess I’ll call the office again and hope to get someone more helpful. Seems like there has to be a way to buy lift tickets for 3 days of skiing spread out over 6 days.
