Yo man! This freeheel thing is all about the peace, love, and harmony of the mountains. Ya know how it is…you got up early this morning and ate some organic yogurt and fresh fruit, pressed some coffee, and you were out the door so you could make it to the mountain on time with the bros. Shredding all day long in the deep Pow Pow can make you tired and there is only one way to take care of that, a hot tub! Since you are living in your car and have only enough money to buy a Pabst six pack tonight, you better learn the ropes of making a successful hot tub poach. Check out the beta and prosper:

RECONNAISSANCE:
Check in with the local ski shop or lift operators at the mountain for the best hotel or apartment complex.
Do you need a key to get in?
Can you hop a fence?
Is there hotel security in the area?
|
|
KEEP A LOW PROFILE:
Be aware of your surroundings. Don’t walk through the hotel lobby with a bunch of stuff in your arms wearing a bathing suit. Take the least obvious approach.
Don’t draw attention to yourself. Keep your crew chill and you’ll enjoy a long soak.
If you are doing the late night fence hop... keep the noise to a minimum. You don’t want to be sitting in jail missing a powder day.

|
FOLLOW THE RULES:
You may not be invited to be there, but don’t be a jerk.
No diving.
Don’t run on the pool deck.
Always remember, there are no lifeguards on duty.
|
|
GO FAST:
Don’t waste time. Move quickly and quietly.
Preplanning is key to success. Don’t figure out what you are doing on the spot; have it mapped out ahead of time.

Enjoy the goods and the fresh muscles this month... I’ll see you next month with another key to happy living on the road!
