You're a good man, Shred. And you're right - skiing is good. My first post in five years last night, not so much. Just venting a little. Out of line. My bad.
(cash is king)

I hear you. However, I still blame it all on TGR. (adding another "ha") HAHA

Holy fuck. Really? No wonder Aspen is a complete shit-show. What, is this the front-range BETA forum now? ha

Today was out-of-hand! So fun.

Damn, kid - that was burly.

Shiffrin is going to kill it!

Nice waves! I saw this on the yahoo homepage this afternoon. Way to get after it!

Classic.

What's crazy is that I've read most of the posts here and on the Vail Daily and not once did anyone mention that she could've been set-up by a password-poacher. Ha. What are the odds?

The weed thing doesn't even bother me. It's the entitlement crowd that comes to our ski towns and treats the locals like slaves. The next DB that I hold the door for without a "thank you" is going...

When I say "your decision to ski the face", I'm not talking about Oceanman, I'm talking about the entire group at the top before anyone has skied. If I see hang-fire, that means the slope has...

Everyone knows BWPA is the best skier on any mountain. Duh.

Total bummer. Oceanman, thanks for sharing your horrendous ordeal. My heart goes out to you, your crew, the other folks helping and Mike's family and friends.

If you don't mind me asking and...

Totally the skiers fault....he "stopped in the middle."

Whatever, dude. 200cm? Please, those are girl skis! Get some big boy 208's.:wink:

I can't tell you how many times I flipped over the Seal cassette in my 20lb. Walkman while skiing.

I love this thread! Thank you, sir.

Crampons, not tampons!

I got into windsurfing in high school and college. The lack of wind in Colorado, or at least lack of consistent wind, made many days a pain in the ass (changing sails, paddling back to shore).

Ugh! You're killing me!

Check out Lou Dawson's 1979/80 Elk Mountain Traverse near Aspen. My personal favorite, although not as much of a tour as a climb and ski, is up North Castle Peak, down West Castle to the Conundrum...

Yep, Guiones. Just on the other side of the hotel in the picture is Pelada, which has a nice break at times, and then further up the beach is the boca - good fishing and sometimes surfing (watch the...

Seriously, this is ridiculous! I thought my jonez for skiing was bad!

I was lucky to spend a couple of months in Costa Rica this Summer and early Fall and now I'm a full-on junky!

It was...

Just think - you can have a place that only has your own pubes on the floor! How cool is that!

(bump)

Yo Shred!
I got a call recently about a free place in Old Snow in exchange for some light care-taking / ranch help. Denver isn't a bad city, but my heart is in the mountains and its hard to pass...

Missed this envy inducing thread.

Fat Boss, the man with the heli plan.

Edited for untimeliness.

Sounds good, brah! When ya headin' out?

10-4, good buddy. Hope to hook up with ya'll soon!

Hey gang-

I'm moving back to the hills and have an apartment for rent. Here's the deal:

-The one bed /one bath apartment it currently being remodeled with new appliances, counters, floors,...

Wow! The two of you made a great team. This is incredibly inspiring to me as both a skier and a rookie photog-wannna-be. Thanks for sharing.

Bummer. Total bummer. RIPitup.

Noaa has a topo map available. If you click on the top of say, Aspen Highlands, it shows different snow totals than if you just get the forecast for Aspen. Also, I find that if I couple that with...

Perfect!

My new favorite channel. Enjoy!

Check out Owen's Alta Spring Pow session from a few days ago.

Nice work, man! That double back was Large Marge!

RIP, Adam. I'm glad I got to ski and ride with you. I was always impressed by your will and strength out in the mountains, not to mention your unending enthusiasm. You will be missed. ...

(changed my mind)

The first two are. The third is above Five Fingers and the last is further out on the ridge (Gnarly Bowl).

Good stuff! I was happy to share the first Deep T chair on the 'official' opener with Karl and SDP. SDP cut the ribbon and you could really see and feel the emotion, especially from Mac and Ron. ...

Word?

Are you going to crash at "Steve's" when you're here? :eek:

I admit, I've been lurking big-time since the snow has started to fly.

Thanks for the text on the Atlas, SDP. Funny, I was just sitting here researching those a few minutes ago when you replied...

I think the West BM 'sugar bowls' may be a bit thin, but it is fairly grassy and not too much dead-fall.

This area may be another option. (pics taken 10/27/10). Check and see if the road is...

Bummer.

Right on! That made my day better.

Honestly, if you don't have a shitty pair of skis that you don't care about, you are mostly likely a newbie gaper anyway.

Yep, this wasn't any fun at all! I hate making turns in 4 inches of pow on a smooth base...

I can't make it on Thursday, but plan on getting out there Saturday. Have fun...it should be good.

(some A-hole was scoping out my gear at the bottom of 1-A lift the other day. I almost left...
