Anybody Know This Gaper (CO Avy Related)

[El Kabong]

From the CAIC avy report yesterday:

"Today a snowboarder in the N mtns was caught in two separate slides. The first one was on Torreys Peak, 3.5 miles SE of Loveland Pass, where he was buried to his waist. He later triggered a slide above timberline (TL) on Loveland Pass, was swept down through the rocks but was not buried or injured. No other fresh slides have been reported so far today."


What kind of gaper gets buried to the waist and then goes out and gets slid again. I'm sorry but it seems like darwin is trying to tell this guy something.

[Dr. Gaper]

Damn, Torrey's and Loveland Pass in the same day! I wonder where he was on Loveland Pass?

Sounds like 14ers are not the place to be right now. :nonono2:

[Hacksaw]

I wonder if he bought any lodo tickets last night?

How about Eric Pollard in Yearbook?

[Foggy_Goggles]

3X a charm? This people piss me off. Prolly to ignant to know how bad he f-ed up and no smarter from the experience [/stereotype].

that's exactly what i was thinking. good thing i read the rest of the posts.

i would think that one slide is enough per day for most people.

Best radio reports for the Loveland avalanche were "in Loveland Bowl below a cornice" and "in the minedump area".

So the guy either was all the way around by the trees or maybe under Idiots cornice or the part that wraps around after it.

They stood it down fairly quickly.

You'd think somebody would get the picture after being caught the first time.

[AltaPowderDaze]

does anyone know if he was on a similar aspect and slope angle for the second one? you'd think that he'd have played it safe back to the car. you can still hit a pocket on the way out while taking it easy, but it sounds like this guy may have center punched another wide open slope. anybody got a link with some details?

[Summit]

his second slide wasn't on the way out from the first.

he got out all the way, then drove up loveland pass and started hiking for his second ride.

damn, that's one inept person. very driven, but not so bright. maybe he was looking for a thrill and seeking out some trouble. either way, darwin is calling his name.

Wow, I'm digging the contrast bewtween this story and duph's story. Makes me respect duph and his honesty even more.

I saw this fucktard....my friend and I watched him ride out to the danger zone and knew it was gonna slide....then he stopped and sat down and looked like he was gonna change his mind....so we did a run in the trees and on the ride back up i looked and the face was gone.....i was sure he was buried and probably injured.....

we try to look for him with binocs before heading out to start probing....

a few seconds later some guys drive up and says he rode out of it.....the idiot rider says something along the lines of "It was totally rad, I RODE OUT OF IT!"


heres a pic (sorry for the shitty quality, its from a video capture)

unbelievable

Or Jermey, Law and Burks in Soul Purpose, although to watch the avi extras on the DVD they at least acknowledged that they made a bad call and shouldn't have let the pressure of lack of filming in a time period get in the way of making a smart call

Daamn! Kitchen Wall will *@$! you up. People have died in that spot.

Edit thanks for the info/pics fish

Slightly off topic, but related to idiots.

Stoy and I were sledding down after a great day in the BC and came across a herd of 19-20 year old idiots. There was a Bronco type suv on the snow covered road with a chump laying behind it strapped to a snowboard. He was screaming, etc.

Turns out he was getting towed behind the rig, somehow ended up in front of it, then got ran over.

What an ASS! He must have been unhurt, because he never checked into the ER that night. (I checked the logs).

Another lucky bastard. These guys were probably up skiing sans beacons, etc. earlier that day too.

There's an ass around every corner.

burks took a chance on s similar slope to the one that slid on johnny. pollard skied an exposed line on a similar slope to the one that partially buried him earlier that day. i doubt he even knows what a pit is. i still have respect for burks and law. pollard should stay in the park.

How about a big SFTU for Mr. APD?

I'm not familiar with sftu, what that stand for?

[MOHSHSIHd]

shut fuck the up is what all the cool guys say now mountainman, didnt you know? ;)

[crashnburn'd]

I thought it meant, shit fucked this up....

ha, maybe pollard can spell check for you and you can tell him when he's about to repeat a mistake he already made once.
:wink:

Wake up!

It's Super Fucking Twisted Utard.

Actually its Stupid Fuckin' Twathead Utard. Its new.
(no offense to you)
Ha, funny though, APD trolls the internet looking for ski partners for the pfif, yet busts on Pollard as if he was there. :rolleyes:

[AltaPowderDaze]

Actually yet busts on Pollard as if he was there. :rolleyes:

that's because he almost killed himself twice in one day in the same mnt range. he decided to change elevation and sets off a bigger slide. what are you missing out of this? i think you two would be good bc partners for each other.

[MOHSHSIHd]

take a chill park junky....

take a few bonghits bro!

I haven't seen a ski flick since Warren Miller's Steep and Deep came out, and I haven't read Powder or Couloir for a few years. So I'm out of the loop on that, and most things for that matter.

I live in my own little fantasy land. :)

But getting caught in two slides in one day seems a bit foolish. Especially during a day of optional filming. I can see two slides in a day descending K2 or Cho Oyu or some sick icefall in the Khumbu. But not filming when the option to call it a day happens at the bottom, or the top, of every run. That's just ego-testosterone getting in the way of logic.
