In upper BCC they don't need a lift, just a Cat track from PCMR to Brighton. Really just a couple of signs would do it. I definitely agree though and as the wise John Denver said 'more people, more...

Bring back the Ogden Gondola!

They should have interconnected years ago. The only Backcountry Skiing Zones impacted at all in that schematic will be the Solitude to Alta connection.

USE A FRONT PACK

A Backpack is very dangerous as since you have no control falling backwards. A front pack you will tuck and roll with the baby if you fall and would put your arms out to stop a...

CR, Sarah, now possibly Schumacher and many more all killed With a helmet on. People often say "It would have been worse without a helmet", but what's worse than dying? I have seen debates on NS...

The site clearly says they don't make helmets, just the "best impact absorbing interiors for the world's leading brands". So it's like Gore-Tex, where you still buy the brand you like, it is just...

I sure as heck hope it's Vail pricing, $550 for a full season pass to 8 or 9 resorts including Canyons this year. Skiing is cheaper than its ever been, $485 for Snowbasin!

really cool sticker

Is there Real Estate affiliated with the Lift?

It is a disgrace what Deer Valley has done to Empire Pass with massive development. Does Interlink have any of that associated with it? If so I...

I honeymooned in Nicaragua and sure as hell did'nt pay $90 to go from Managua to San Juan Del Sur. Actually San Juan Del Sur should be avoided at all costs. It is a touristy mini Costa Rica with no...

They bought newschoolers.com so the great migration probably does'nt hurt as much anymore.

Sounds like the Powdermag writer already had the story in his head before he even watched this years...

Crested Butte if u like steep creeking, slides and some really good stuff for a really short 6 wk window.

Whitefish if u like big water, full on rapids, big water playboating on the Kootenai and...

I'm on the fence on this one:

1-It definitely looks like it restricts Mountain Biking (which is part of the definition of Wilderness Area), the language specifically allows Heli Skiing and...

What is Hot Pow? It sounds fantastic.

We do not do it to them in reverse. Not sure why Canada is so hard core but even George W Bush had to get a redemption paperwork to visit when he was president. I have not found any other country...

True, the Rapidfire/Traverse is money on bigger rapids. Plus they're only $450 at REI. For park and play surfing, you want a glass board like a badfish or one of the others.

Looked like tracks into a big crown along with 1 ski sticking out in Hells Canyon today. Patrol was doing dog and beacon searches in there when I left. Definitely not the day to be skiing that but...

A really cool thing for Sun Valley to do would be to bring a bunch of large boulders up to the mountain and create a bunch of cliffs with just wire and spray concrete. That would make the hill a lot...

I am also amazed there have not been more accidents there, you are completely correct. You are totally wrong on the 2005 event though, 90% of the people on this board would have skied Dutches that...

Me too, crusty TGR minions can weigh on you. NS feels like a big breath of fresh of air a lot of the time after the aging crust of maggots.

110800Nice TR, Awesome to see the potential with lifts and sidecountry. Did'nt realize that existed. Nice work on heading South and exploring.

Hopefully this just adds to your thread and does'nt...

I think this Lecture missed the whole point on avalanches, it's not Human Error that kills people. You can limit your exposure with good decisions and may make just the right decision at just the...

Dawn Patrolling was cool in the '90's. Now it's overrated.

Actually Ted Wilson was the "kook" that saved more wilderness most anyone and preserved many things before he realized he needed to stack some Benjamins before he died. He has done way more of his...

Is there an adjacent rally in support of the ski link? I am a huge supporter of Wilderness and a lifelong member of SUWA. Also born and raised in Park City. However this state would absolutely...

They should ban this app before someone has to die and then they get sued and then its banned. Hopefully there are IT people on here who can inform apple of the danger.

I agree with Blurred, Stop taking the good ones. The person in charge though is Nature itself. People can go believeing what ever random religion they want, Moromonism, Budhism, Christianity, but...

Not exactly true bud. Those of us who grew up in Park City certainly remember a different town. After high school many of us moved away. Montana mainly. Now coming back, the place is fun, there...

I'm not a fan of all expansion in the Wasatch. I used to ski from PC to Alta and back every week in High School when I had a pass at both. Just a few easy skins between. Luckily Brighton was slack...

You will be stoked to be a kayaker. Best sport ever. Buy a full used setup $600 for everything and get a couple friends to get setups as well. Then you guys can learn together. Other kayakers are...

I went there for 6 weeks a few years ago. We were on a kayaking mission, ran 7 first descents and only looked up at huge mountains the whole time. CHip in and get a 6 wheel soviet troop truck as...

Definitely do the full 10 days in the Winds like the others said. It is a long way out to Pinedale, at least half a day each way and no reason to leave. I once did 30 days up there with 5 days of...

Nice one. Bottom of the cliff looked sketchy. Rock bomb holes everywhere.

38 of course.

They are totally different but the answer is you need both. You can get an old used kayak for $200, so its no big deal. You definitely want the SUP for late season and anything on lakes when it is...

It would be fun to meet some Ogden mags, we just moved down and only know kayakers. The kayaking epic right now though. I'll PM you, hopefully we can bike there.

Stickup,

You're stoked to be getting into kayaking, Utah is going off right now. It has been a super sick spring and there's lots to go. Ogden Narrows is all time right now. You're glad you...

If you're in Logan you should get the rest of Ogden Narrows while its still in, it's been great. Go to utrivers.com to hook up with people.

Quality. hell yeah.

What is the forum for "how is the grooming and restaurant crowd"?

Old is definitely a state of mind, not a state of body. My friend is 74 and skied 107 days this year. If you ski the Canyons you probably saw him with an all white suit, grey hair flying, just...

NS is where its at for the Tall T's, TGR for the middle aged AK dreamers and where do the older Deer Valley types chat?

Now Kraukauer even has a book about it coming out:

So bummed to hear. Sending my Vibes and hopefully absorbing some of a fellow WW brothers love of the River. I have lost a few friends to the river and I can say it does not get better with time, it...

For Snowbasin, there is a shuttle from The Ben Lomond Hotel, you can find the times online, it's like 7:30 and 9. It's a pretty easy walk to the shuttle from where you're staying. Then you can ski...

This

But having fun is what its all about and "Ski what you See" allows for some contriving.

Awesome TR. Right when I was going to abandon TGR for Newschoolers I am reminded of epic trips like this. I can see how the pic does not do justice to being totally exposed on that crux. They...

I have many but only use 3 crafts now:

Jefe Grande for creeking

Imagine Rapidfire SUP for river running and surfing

C4 SUP for park and play but I want to get a Chubby stick badly

Nice.

I wonder when the 1st D on a SUP will go down
