Gaper_Jeffy Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Bird Creek Meadows (formerly known as Mt Hood Meadows) is again offering $400 season passes to groups of 4 if purchased by November 7th. I'm looking for a few others to form a group, please PM me if interested. If you live in the PDX area this is an economical way to ski a lot. Note that these passes are for Hood Meadows. The details of this pass are here: http://www.skihood.com/Pricing/SeasonPasses/4Buy4/default.aspx Here's a few Meadows photos from last year: Thanks! Jeff Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted September 24, 2004 Author Posted September 24, 2004 Boycott Meadows! You hear that Iain? Quote
steepconcrete Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Boycott Meadows! Don't hate the player, hate the system. Quote
ashw_justin Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Why the name change to "Bird Creek Meadows?" Are they trying to escape their infamy? Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 Why the name change to "Bird Creek Meadows?" Are they trying to escape their infamy? It's a joke, Justin. Bird Creek Meadows is the name of one of the beautiful meadows in the Yakima Indian reservation that'd likely be irreversibly altered by development. Quote
ashw_justin Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 D'oh. Er, I mean, I was joking too! Quote
cj001f Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Boycott Meadows! Don't hate the player, hate the system. The system that turned Dave Riley into a megalomaniacal developer? Quote
steepconcrete Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 Boycott Meadows! Don't hate the player, hate the system. The system that turned Dave Riley into a megalomaniacal developer? umm, kinda..but more like-- Hate the system that ALLOWS Dave Riley to BE a megalomaniacal developer. Quote
Ricardo_Montalban Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 umm, kinda..but more like-- Hate the system that ALLOWS Dave Riley to BE a megalomaniacal developer. you mean the system of giving him your money so he can continue his maniacal developing? Fuck Meadows! yeah, i know...i'll still ride there Quote
steepconcrete Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 the point Im trying to make is... If he wasnt doing it, someone else would be-- powdercorp, intrawest, etc, etc.......the system allows it. Quote
Ricardo_Montalban Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 i'm saying the foundation of the system is us; the consumer. don't get me wrong sc, i'm not trying to throw stones at anyone. scenario: -resort-x is bad because they want to add lift lines, hotels, etc. folks get angry and cry out for a boycott and go to resort-y -resort-y is somehow considered more ecologically responsible (or 'good', or worthy of your $$) because they aren't planning an expansion. my point is; both resorts destroyed ecological functions and you can't point fingers at one and not the other because of the time of destruction. boycott none or boycott all! I think the best method of protest is to counterfeit passes and distribute. 1. ride free, 2. meadows (...uuhh, i mean resort-x) records lower sales (which is the goal of a boycott), and 3. they expend more resources accomodating the renegade riders Quote
steepconcrete Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 oh my Its aginst all moral values.... can I get in? Quote
rbw1966 Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Don't get caught. All the resorts on Mt. Hood (and Bachelor too I bet) are really cracking down on theft of services. As much as I don't want to support meadows I don't hear any viable option for someone in Portland who wants to get lots of slope time. T-line is boring and ski bowl's conditions are not very consistent. Quote
Ricardo_Montalban Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 aahhh...my shit talkin' will never materialize I don't hear any viable option for someone in Portland... and how! even if you do go to meadow's, the lift lines are so long you might as well hike up anyway Quote
steepconcrete Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Don't get caught. All the resorts on Mt. Hood (and Bachelor too I bet) are really cracking down on theft of services. Flatchelor, and Willamette Ass both have electronic cattle gates...kinda hard to cheat the system there . Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 Flatchelor, and Willamette Ass both have electronic cattle gates...kinda hard to cheat the system there . Yeah but Bachy's scan cards are easier to disconnect from your jacket and give to another person then a standard lift ticket is. Quote
rbw1966 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Yes--and its also easier for them to see that someone just went through the gate twice within a very short time period or on two different parts of the mountain. Good luck with that. Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 I was actually thinking of re-selling (or giving away) your card after you finished your day. Since the bachy cards are worn around your neck (or girth-hitched to a zipper), they are easier to detach and re-attach without notice. Quote
steepconcrete Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 YEa yea...but who wants to go ski flat windblasted Bachelor. Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 YEa yea...but who wants to go ski flat windblasted Bachelor. Exactly, that's why you sell your pass in the parking lot after a few hours Quote
Gaper_Jeffy Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 Thanks to the millions of people here who read this post and PM'd me to buy a pass (alright no one from here actually did), I am now a pass holder: If you're looking for others to buy a pass with still feel free to PM me as I may be able to point you towards others.
