So I go on a ski vacation...no pinball right? Wrong

Its like it followed me... I live in Nebraska, not a pin mecca but plenty of pins on route for sure to be played. I went skiing in Wyoming, no offense to the Wyoming members but they have ONE craigslist, and I did not expect to see any pins, especially where I was at, I was wrong, and I was happy about it..
First pic: The ski resort had two - Pirates of the Carribean in the front and a Simpsons Pinball Party in the back there, both played great...

Truckstop in the middle of nowhere: A monster bash and an Elvira? who knew..

Finally in a small town in Wyoming of 200 in a old bar called the Trading Post, a Bally Bow and Arrow, I helped get the thing running for the guy, it has been non working for 8 years (no hes not selling it). With no tools I got it to play two balls before it froze, coin lockout coil issue and more...he was happy and gave me some free boozies for the effort..me and the fellas had a good time, Wyoming is fricken beautiful...great time, and of course the pins sometimes find you...just sharing...

Always cool to see pins in unexpected places. There are few pin at the local ski resorts her in SoCal as well. I guess it makes sense for them to have something for the kids to do when they get tired of skiing and head to the lodge.
 
After boarding all day I got tired, went upstairs to get a beer, and the pins were packed with folks, those pics were from the second day i was there, in the morning before it was busy, it was cool to see folks shoving quarters in them, great place to make money on coin-op for sure..
