EpicSki - PugSki Merger

[Tyler Wenzel]

In at the last minute depending on your time zone, but one of the things I miss most about EpicSki is the April Fools days threads we came up with. I remember a few years back one about voting off problem members Survivor Style I came up with that actually got some serious traction. I think the first one I posted as an admin was a merger of TGR and EpicSki that also riled some feathers. Anyhow felt I should keep the tradition alive a bit longer, miss hanging out with many of you.

No reason for you to miss the PugSki gang.

We had some ideas but nothing really said "wow. we have to do this"...they all seamed forced. Last years was a pretty big hit though. Reno to host Winter Olympics in 2026.

What about when Joan posted that she sold Epic to Vail as an Aprils Fools....

That was pretty good, but it seems like Internet April Fools pranks have kinda jumped the shark.

As @SKI-3PO said..it is a good thing we didn't name the site IkonSki.com

Life has taken me away from the snow even more so that I don't run EpicSki anymore. That at least kept me getting out some, but since I've barely been able to think about skiing unfortunately. I'm hoping next winter I am able to do some slope time though. This past year saw a change of jobs and reorganizing a bunch of stuff in my life that made it impossible to even consider it a possibility.

Does this mean Vail doesn't suck anymore?:

Except.. Wouldn't it have been nice to have been bought out?

How'd that work out for the community in the past?

[Jim Kenney]

Tyler, all we have to do is look at your avatar and know you and the Mrs. are working on another kind of merger! Happy Easter.

Hi Tyler.

The rumor here now is Vail didn't want us. Too far from things. (Leaving the fog aside.). So happy.

From what I understand, Vail could not buy Mt. Rose which would give them too many around the lake and Rose didn't see the benefit to beaing part of the Ikon collective. With Rose's passes increasing for the coming season, it shows conficence when Reno-ites might see more of an Ikon advantage with having access to Squaw/Alpine and Mammoth ( an easy 3 hour away). I know Rose tracks passes and daily tickets very close..it will be interesting to see what happens in 19-20.
