It’s About Time …

by anniefast | Dec 12, 2008 |

I was googling away this morning, researching some resort info, and I came across a resort with the official name of Las Vegas Ski And Snowboard Resort (LVSSR). This is the first resort that I’ve ever come across with the word snowboard built into its name. And for some reason it made an impression on me … (enough so apparently to blog about it).

 

I started looking for other resorts that made the leap (whether in title or just in offical description) from identifying themselves as “ski resorts” to “ski and snowboard resorts” and found a few. Mission Ridge Ski And Snowboard Resort and Hurricane Ridge Ski And Snowboard Area, both in Washington made the effort as did Norway Mountain Ski And Snowboard Resort and Mt. Holly Ski And Snowboard Resort, both in Michigan, and finally Hyland Ski & Snowboard Area in Minnesota. F?k yeah! 

All the other ones just pop up as “ski resort.” I don’t ride a ski lift, I ride a chairlift. I don’t ski, I snowboard. And apparently I get stoked out when I see the word in the resort name. Shit, even Bear Mountain and Mountain Creek are listed as a ski resorts, now that’s just false advertising.
