poor, poor Terry...he's fixated on ski resort websites while his boyfriend is fucking Brad Pitt in the ass in various cities across America, and knowing what a globe trotter Brad is, probably all over the world...

Terry should have NEVER grown that moustache...

Well, either that or realized that websites don't work when you turn off the intrusive cookies and scripts using the more secure Firefox or Opera browsers ...

I don't know, I went to the site, and it seemed pretty user freindly. Kind of has some pictures that could use burning on it, to bold and Old Navy looking.

Hm... they appear to have changed the site since last night. I'll check on this.

Same here. Two clicks, from the GIANT Weather report window on the front page.

And I saw nowhere where white text sat on the background image.

I'm going to assume you're not a moron, and suggest that you check to make sure you're using a current browser with scripts turned on. Preferably Firefox.

The rest is spot on.

It is very tough to be Terry Miller. Very.

@10

That's a little uncalled for, but okay..

The closest I've ever been to Stevens Pass is riding under it on the Empire Builder, so I can't comment.

But I just did anyway. I'm a very rebellious sort.

ive been using the SP web site for the past few weeks to check on snow and cams and nothing has changed. there is on-click access to cams, hours, and weather from the front page.

Not to mention that there are that you can watch w/o even needing to go to their site.

I just realized that the guy who made all those ski movies is Warren Miller, not Terry Miller. Which is good because I was going to ask how the famous ski movie guy ended up blogging here but now I don't need to have that all explained to me.

Thanks!

First of all, we are non-skiers. We will be visiting the area (Stevens Pass and Leavenworth) around Christmas and would like to know if we can simply take a ride on a ski lift (up and back, of course) just for the experience and views ... and, if so, what would the price be for the two of us? Thanks for the help!

Terry,
In addition to the fixes mentioned above, you should go to your browser "Preferences" and check all settings for appearance, colors, etc.

Terry, if you don't leave the page open but refresh it, it reloads the new page ... sometimes it's a good idea to "quit".

@18, call the place and ask.

Oh man! I was so pissed about being forced to watch that video to be graced with the priviledge of going through their crappy terrain park. I didn't pay the $5 by the way. You only have to do that to get a permanent pass showing that you saw the video.

And I agree with you. The video teaches you absolutely nothing about park safety. You still have kids sitting behind jumps where you can't see them or cutting you off.

Why do we all of a sudden have to watch this crap? Did some kid with rich parents get injured in the park last year?

BTW Stevens - you might want to start checking signatures on the waiver we turn in after watching your terrible video of stoned famous riders. I didn't sign mine as I want to be able to sue the crap out of you for my own stupidity as somebody else did. Free money!
