Woulda taken less time to find this dog if it was wearing a beacon...

Thanks. Way to keep it classy. I'll try my best to fall in line and follow the globally accepted procedures for touring in the backcountry so I can get your approval... And I'll make sure to never...

OK, you call it ignorance... I call it conservative on my estimates regarding survival time. I'm not expecting that after 30min I'll get dug up, throw a few high fives, thank a few guys, and slam...

Glad we cleared that up.

My dog wears a beacon and we both get buried and you come to my rescue about 30 minutes after we got buried. Guess what, both my dog and I are more than likely dead. ...

In what scenario are you coming to help me and my partner? Do you honestly think that our groups are within shouting distance of eachother when we are in the bc? "Hey other guy over there... My...

Thanks for the confirmation.

6 years later and I do an interwebz search on a pieps product and I find this shitshow of a thread.

LOL... What a d-bag. Oh wait, I'm the d-bag because I put a beacon on my dog. HAHAHA. That...

If the exhaust pipe is getting clogged with snow then you are doing it wrong. More throttle please. That'll take care of crap going into an exit. It should sound like this "Braaaaap!!! ...

I agree. I had no experience editing anything... I grabbed a GoPro, took an hour or two of video, plugged it into my Mac, and sat down for about 4 hours. Now I can edit fairly well. Slomo,...

Awesome TR!!!!

I was just out there exploring this past Saturday. Lots of nice spots to ski, but I was in a sledneck state of mind. Steamboat Powder Cats did not appreciate me Braaaaaping in...

I picked up my first sled last spring. An 08 700 RMK (155) with 650 miles on it. While I was moving it around in my garage, I snapped the bumper from the nosepan (stupid plastic POS bumper). So I...

Home made cinnamon ice cream that consisted of the following:

2 Cups Whole Milk
2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
2 Cinnamon Sticks
1 Vanilla Bean
9 Egg Yolks!!!!!

^^^I usually wear 2 at the bar to look way more "core" and I leave the dog at the trailhead tied to a tree just next to the bar, but still close enough to my Audi SUV so he can guard it. You know...

I just wanted info on E22. Everyone's an expert on everyone else's lives. Now I gotta defend my backcountry protocal and procedures, so here goes...


My partner, who knows the situation and the...

Yo Bro-Gnar... Offer up some information on why a beacon on my dog will screw up a rescue. And if the only thing you offer up is that my dog will be running around all crazy and won't listen when I...

Damn!!! You are right again. Your assumptions and advice are spot on and so relevant. "My beacon gives an error" and you suggest divorce. That is a big help. I wish I had known that E22 means...

You bet I would find my dog first. He actually has a soul and doesn't cunt up threads.

Because I ask a question about a beacon it is assumed that I must have no clue how one works? And why do you give a shit if I put one on my dog when he and I go touring together? It's my dog, its...

Anyone else using a PIEPS DSP that has seen E22 or E23 appear on the screen during startup? I just recently started seeing this. A quick google search told me that E22 means "all the antennae are...

^^The ring on her finger prevents that.

But how is writing about it in the Westword "keeping it a secret"? :nonono2:

Just leave it alone or eventually Intrawest or Vail resorts will put down some sort of BS rule oulawing the use of any...

I don't completely disagree, but you gotta learn some of this stuff as you go. It's tough to get experience in general home maintenance and being a responsible home owner until you actual have to...

First congrats on the pup. He is handsome and gonna be tons of fun. But keep in mind he was bread to have tons of energy in the field so that he can hunt for multiple days at a time. In other...

Was up today, and it certainly is not champagne powder anymore. Hopefully we get another day like 2/20/12.

I'm still smiling from yesterday and I doubt it will go away any time soon. That was a special day, and I'll always have a unique bond with the peeps I skied with on 2/20/12 at Steamboat.

"Super Epic January"... I'm not much of a snowfall historian. I'm sure it was great, but I'm talking about today. It was DEEP.

And yes, SB is flat in areas. But to get to ride a lift up to 30+...

Pffffft... Whatever... Tits deep all day, and if you had a clue, you never waited more than a few minutes once you got out of the gondy.

If you weren't there in person, than you just don't...

"Epic" is now defined by 2/20/12 at Steamboat!!!!

Choking on snow... White Room all morning... Sending 20 footers out of No Name and St Pats... Just plain ridiculous today!!!

...and it was...

++++Vibes++++

It will get better. Keep in mind that your pup would never want to make you as sad as you are right now, and if he could have, he would have lived exactly 1 second longer than you. ...

Very sad. ++++Vibes++++ to family.

Was in the trees over near trestle yesterday and it was thin. Just not worth it right now.

edit: Just confirmed with a buddy that we actually went to the...

^^^ 8"-10"? Snotel is only reporting 3".

In other news, there was a lot of natural activity I saw from a distance on Tues. Whatever the bowls are behind and north of Stanely were sliding big. ...

IMHO, there are 2 options at BP right now...

1) Ski fast and risk hitting those big rocks, stumps, and logs that are barely covered (very painful)
2) Ski cautiously and sink into the facets which...

My buddy's Vizsla lost an eye as a pup. He never missed a beat, is an awesome bird dog and a kick ass best friend. We call him the pirate and everyone usually greets him with an,...

Dogs are awesome.

Never seen a corgi in the b/c, but that is awesome to know that such a little dog still hangs in there during b/c touring.

I'm at about 2.5 x pre-tax salary. But keep in mind that your credit scores and current interest rates can make a difference in these situations. My wife and I are both 780+ so we get the goods on...

DId this thread jinx us? Speaking of a 1000" winter before winter has started does not excite Ullr. :nonono2:

Go to Padded Room and post nekkids of gf's, wives, or f-buddies right now to save us.

As for the question about moving all that snow to save your friend... Adreniline will mask all of the pain your brain knows is in your shoulder. If you don't get that major rush when the shit hits...

Ummmmm... Yup it's officially official... This place has gone to shit.

"failed to the ground"... That sounds nasty. I haven't been up since early December, and even then the conditions were crappy at best. I can't imagine the risk is even remotely worth the reward...

^^^ Seconded. Still available?

Just saw a double ejection... once he regained his composure from such a high impact, life altering crash, he packed it up and walked the rest of the way right down the middle of the madness.
...

That rink is awesome! Love the fact that it was "for the kids".

Very valuable points from all parties on this one (along with some name calling).

My opinion is that this class is a great thing to offer. The real education of the class comes from the...

I like it.

But how long until there are multiple colors? It's Asspen right?...

Go the Silverton/Telluride/Ouray trip.

Make sure to hit Orvis Hot Springs (www.orvishotsprings.com), not the Ouray town pool. And as far as night life in Silverton, who cares you are married and...

As long as he's still eating and drinking, he should be OK. But if it lasts longer than 2 days, I'd bring him to the vet immediately.

My German Shorthaired Pointer had a similar problem, only he...

Save the Costco jewlery for presants and anniversary stuff.

The ring should have more meaning behind it in my opinion. Buying the stone online and getting a one of a kind setting for it is a...

e-collar is the way to go. But before you go out and spend $200 on a kick ass Dogtra collar (www.dogtra.com), you gotta learn how to train your dog and how to use the e-collar...

Why do you give a shit what's going on there if your goal is to not ski there any more? I had fun on Wed. and so did my dog. No, the snow isn't waist deep, and you can't ski much yet, but you can...
