Dakota Dual Sport Riders

It's that time of year once again. Season pass sale at Terry Peak through October. looking forward to seeing the regulars and hopefully some new faces on the sloes this year!  It gives you something fun to do until you can ride again....

Depends on my next assignment. Hoping to get closer.
.

just a reminder for those interested, the 1/2 price season pass sale ends Thursday...

Got mine Saturday!  Joel and Pauly have theirs already.  Gerry is in the Seattle, I almost certain he has his already. 

Stacy......YO STACY, you going to join us this year?  Hopefully Pete too, but I wouldn't bet on Pete!

Now if we could get Grubbie and Wacked to join us, that would be exciting!   

You guys make me envious!

Hmmmmmm ............

This is a little tempting.  I still remember the broken ribs from my last skiing adventure

........   Hmmmmm - Not getting any younger

you don't quit skiing because you get old, you get old because you quit skiing..... just sayin...

Didn't pick up a pass, but I'm in!

Who's skiing this weekend?

Sent from my BND-L24 using Tapatalk

I will be there. Probably both Saturday and Sunday...

Cool. We'll be in touch

Sent from my BND-L24 using Tapatalk

by the looks of the FB page only the yellow chair (suprise) will be open? If that 's the case I probably won't go.

I'm thinking that too

I'll be ready to go for the next gathering. At Scheels picking up gear now. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191213/3c0206ec5592c20a50e57e296e43c43b.jpg)

Hey Pauly, I think we pushed Stacy over the edge with the free skies!   :)

Now we have to start on Pete!

Pete, I have a set of used skies for you.  Although they might be a little long for a beginner.

I couldn't have a pair of skis just sitting around. Need to put them to good use!

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I have a pair he can use at least. There are others around depending on what he wants

I'm thinking about just skiing sunday. Should be fewer people there that day

Sent from my BND-L24 using Tapatalk

Pete has no interest in skiing. Not his thing. Besides, I need something to do Saturdays while he is at work.

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

That's beautiful

I'm going today also, but won't get there until 11 or so.  I'll be in touch.

Will be heading up AGAIN this weekend. Looks like Wednesday might be a bit tricky getting out of here but I dislike being here so much, I'll get it done.

My thoughts are to ski Saturday cuz that's when Joel and Paul can ski. I may however be talked into skiing on Friday as well if it looks like it will be worth dropping the extra coin.

I put the word out to our buddy in Nebraska and he's thinking about it.  :)

As always, festivities and a meeting of the DDSR Drinking team to follow at Shiver's.

not one to use the word epic, but if I was yesterday would have been an epic day on the hill!  30" of powder and it snowed all day. thigh deep snow and super soft crash landings. the legs were definitely shot by 4:00.. should be great for the next week or more!

On Terry Peak's web site it reads;  "CLOSED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY"

I thought I might go skiing today.  You know, only ride the lift, not go into the lodge, just go up and down the hill a few times.

I'd say this season is officially over!

yes, it is officially done for the year... It's been a good one.

I see Terry Peak has finally laid out guidelines for the upcoming season.  They will refund the passes 100% Only if they do not open at all for the season.  Who is doing it this year?

I have mine, from the few people I have talked to it "sounds like" the biggest impacts would be with the lodges. lifts, grooming, etc. should not be affected. there may be some restrictions on day passes (Montana and Colorado are doing this) such as a 3-7 day reservation requirement.   of course all just speculation from people who are not really in the know?  I figured it is worth the risk, but???

I will get mine before the end of the month.  I better have something to do this winter....Can't let Jerry have all the fun ;)

I got a season pass last season for the first time in about 5 years and was really glad I did. Having the season pass forces you to get in the car and do the 4 & 1/2 hour drive out. They even announced because the snow was so good that they were going to extend the season. Then what seemed like hours later because of the China virus it was done. I reviewed Terry's COVID-19 policy for the upcoming season and didn't see anything to keep safe skiers safe from the deniers on the chairlift.
Maybe I just don't understand. During the AIDS Crisis knowingly spreading AIDS was considered Murder. During the COVID pandemic spreading a killer virus is considered Macho.

Well after much concern and procrastination and a call from LD, I purchased a Terry Peak season pass today. Now after I get my vaccination, I can pray for snow. I was worried if I don't ski this winter, I may never get back on skis again. Time to start training, I think I'll start with a few PBR's on tuesday night.

And, that's why I call Gerry for advice.  Training is very important!

I too pulled the trigger.

Start with the 12 oz curls! And work your way back up to skidrinking.  Looks like we have a few this year.  Who's gonna park close to Mill Site so we can stop and have a beer?

Don't forget your pass this month. Prices have increased but so have day rates so it only takes 6 trips to pay for a pass.

another one dug up from the brink of death. Season pass sale ends next Tuesday.. don't miss out.
