12/27/18 Stevens Pass Epic!

I'm no Northstar expert as I was a Squaw Valley skier back when it opened, and never skied there at all. I'd heard it was flat. I skied it a couple of years ago because it was Epic and I was at Heavenly for a week. I don't know when the Backside went in but it's got some pitch. I also found some off piste steeps in their sometimes closed areas. I think Lookout Mountain may be even newer, but I'm not sure. One ungroomed bump run named Prosser, is a fine, steep bump run that will make 95 percent of Northstars "groomer skiers" cringe.

I used to enjoy skiing Sierra Ski Ranch! (Now called Sierra at Tahoe) Preachers Passion and Dynamite made it a ski area...Much like Double Diamond and Southern Cross make Stevens Pass!

It will be interesting "Next Season" to see how EPIC
& IKON resorts value us Geezers (70+). We bought
Stevens "premium passes" so we could use the Powder
Alliance to visit Whitewater & Castle Mt(AB). Will
have to explore EPIC Veteran option next season.
Looking forward to that Low Altitude B.P. Pow 😁

I think my friend who's only 61 got an Epic
Pass for I thought $99 this year!

That would be for "Retired with 20 years service".
I was only on active duty for 31 months & 14 days.
The Veteran Epic is about $500 which might be attractive
If they jack the prices way up for 70+ passes at Stevens.
