The price vari...Baldface's price breakdown is <A HREF="http://baldface.net/availability?currency=USD" REL="nofollow">here</A>. The price varies from 400-600 per day by time of year. If you've got a flexible schedule, you can catch some steals. For example, a three-day weekend trip (starting tomorrow) for less than a grand!<BR/><BR/>I like the comparison to a Whistler trip. After you get done paying for a lift ticket, lodge food and a room, you could drop $400 and still not come close to the Baldface lodging, gourmet food and endless, cat-accessed pow. Instead you get 1500 Texas cokeheads waiting for a tram.<BR/><BR/>Me, I just wanted to take a step away from the resorts and toward that backcountry experience. Seemed like a good first step. While it did require some monetary commitment, it didn't require selling a kidney on the black market like a full-on heli trip would. Now I just have to heal those ribs...BoredYakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434733936840943960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618380051125395063.post-43495173348393800252009-03-03T11:30:00.000-08:002009-03-03T11:30:00.000-08:00baldface is MAD_SKRILLS, but it's one of the most ...baldface is MAD_SKRILLS, but it's one of the most expensive ones, I think...500+ a day.<BR/><BR/>I found the vibe far mellower and less salesmen style than the heli I went on...those dudes wanted mo money mo money mo money! Cats was all decent snowboarders with snowboard guides too, so that may have contributed. I liked that it's all day, not just three hours or whatever, it's all damn day and a cool explorey feeling. We had input with the run selection and shit; that was cool. <BR/><BR/>And: they fly you up there in a A-Star, so you get that part.<BR/><BR/>If you factor in hotel and meals and shit like that, it's not as bad (rationalize)...it's like if you were a cokehead from Texas and blew your tax return on a trip to Whistler or some shit. <BR/><BR/>Either way: the next time you're in a liftline with fifteen hundred assholes waiting for chair 2 to open you're going to cry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618380051125395063.post-71416916161219497332009-03-03T09:08:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:08:00.000-08:00how much does that cost for 4 days?i just hit a on...how much does that cost for 4 days?<BR/><BR/>i just hit a one day heli trip up at North Cascade Heli. pretty spendy.<BR/><BR/>curious if a 4 day lodge or heli would be cheaper and/or better.<BR/><BR/>goddamn that was fun...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618380051125395063.post-4577979526845881942009-02-28T15:03:00.000-08:002009-02-28T15:03:00.000-08:00Heh, point taken.I'm so stoked for Baldface that I...Heh, point taken.<BR/><BR/>I'm so stoked for Baldface that I can't even imagine it.BoredYakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434733936840943960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618380051125395063.post-71845719733551059062009-02-27T11:19:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:19:00.000-08:00attention: if you can see your ribs in the mirror,...attention: if you can see your ribs in the mirror, you're doing okay, don't no tubby-o's wanna hear it...unless it's on some Lohan style, then maybe you should seek counseling...<BR/><BR/>Baldface rules.
