I had the best week of skiing in my life at Sorcerer Lodge. They were more hands-on about where we were skiing and radio check-ins than I expected, but it was hardly a big deal considering what a...

My friend Todd snapped this photo of myself, Steve, and Adam Lawton (on the right), a few years back in Europe. Steve and Todd were trying their best to keep up with the crazy Euros at the...

Great pictures LeeLau! I had the best week of skiing of my life up there last January. What a special place, I need to get back!

I know Alecs and the guys he rode with were experienced, and I hope the rest of the party chooses to share their story at some point. Frankly trying West Kessler right now doesn't make sense to me,...

Yeah, I read that article today too, it's a great read. It was really jarring to be reading a story about people and places that couldn't seem further apart from me, and then to come across the line...

Some of us walk across rivers, some of us hump our way across, we all get there in the end. Clearly skiing 8000m peaks and not drinking water all day imparts log crossing abilities I fail to possess....

The skiing was fantastic yesterday and no one was out. It might have been the best conditions I've ever had on the summit line on S face of Superior. Effortless. It was so good we went back up and...

Isn't "backcountry ski patrol expert" an oxymoron? What the hell does that mean?

Your footage is awesome Jeff! I'm reliving some really nice memories as I watch that. That was the best week of skiing I've ever had. Fresh pow right before we showed up, 3 days of high pressure with...

There are still some spots we'd like to fill...

Awesome, thanks so much for the additional info/stokage.

We've got a self guided, self catered week at Sorcerer hut booked second week in January. It's looking like we need a few people to round out our group... Anyone interested? We're anticipating fixed...

Gorgeous tour and pictures! I'm going to Red Rocks to try to forget about missing out on this, waiting until today would have been a crime though when the snow is that good.

Crazy, like someone else said, I never hear about tree wells being too big of a deal around here.

Twas stupid deep today. I am mostly a lurker now, as mentioned, I don't see the point of posting anymore honestly, although this thread is fun to look at sometimes. No crowd on Argenta when I was...

Too early still, I'm finally getting into skiing. I think I may be a sledneck in the next little bit here, I'll be calling for beta... :smile:

Huh, whether it's posting TRs of illegal ski tours or pictures you had been told not to post, it seems like people are having a hard time balancing discretion vs. self promotion.

this has got to end sometime, one more winter storm cycle please? On the other hand I've had great skiing this past week, but we could use some freshening up...

Huh, I guess we were the only ones that thought Cardiff would be good skiing today, we had the whole drainage to ourselves. Trailbreaking was hip deep however, due to a casual start in the morning we...

Don't know what you mean by "affordable", but if you mean dirt cheap, we stayed at the Ski Station Hostel in Cham. It's right near the Brevent lift, 13 euro a night last year. It has a kitchen. I...

Plushest snow in recent memory today. 10/10 even on a powder snob's rating scale. Can't believe the winds are supposed to ruin it tonight.

Skiing was pretty good today across the street from Alta. Definitely a wet one though. There was a density inversion in the top inch or two of snow that was very sensitive and propagating extremely...

BD has QC / first year design problems. It's been like that for as long as I can remember, with a number of products I've heard about. Delamming skis, breaking ice axes, breaking tele bindings, now...

Looks like it's snowin.... Had a nice tour yesterday, avalanche conditions are really bad though, we heard a lot of collapsing, we kept our angles mellow. Watched some yahoo ride West Monitor, it...

bump, I'd mail 'em if anybody out of town is interested...

bump......

bizzump...

Make that $300 for my Karhu Jak setup, that's what I decided to post them at, it seems like a buyer's market around here...

I'm selling a pair of '04 190cm Karhu Jak BCs. I bought the skis a few years ago almost new off of someone. I mounted them up with Diamir/Fritschi Titanal 3s and never skied them, since I bought a...

Karhu Jak BC, 190cm 127-97-117
Diamir/Fritschi Titanal 3s, medium size

I was thinking of listing them on here for $350, I don't have skins for them. The skis are in almost new condition, they...

Today?

I'm glad I checked the thread to see that Derek tracked out N face of Sup, have to think of somewhere else to go today...

Trackhead beat me to it, tweaker. I'll be skiing Wednesday I think.

Another news report I read made it sound like he fell off the route altogether, I haven't heard anything detailed yet though.

Traverses I like:

High T - At least it's fast, and screaming "get the fuck out of my way!" Is good stress relief

Thirds - Sidestepping, but you get a lot more skiing.

The Shoulder - A short...

I've been up there twice, and I've gone Cherry Canyon both times, apparently it is like twice as long as Jacob's Ladder. I've gone for a couple of nights both times, so that spreads the hurt out a...

That's no exageration. He had a 1/2 size nalgene bottle for 4 or 5 kessler laps.

Yeah, Collins mid mountain plot is showing a grand total of .23" of water, with above freezing temps currently, so I'm not sure what everyone's getting excited about.

So if highboys's off limits,...

I was wondering why I hadn't heard any results from this comp, very sorry to hear about this. Nice write up, RIP.

There's probably a crust on the sunny slopes, there has been on all the ones I've been on the past couple of days. Even through clouds, the April sun cooks.

Yeah, it doesn't look that bad, I bet it's way soft at .13a. Here's some pussy with a rope freeing it. :wink: Sorry, for the thread drift, I'm still blown away by this.

Some 22 year old named Alex Honnold. He soloed Astroman and the Rostrum in a morning last year in yosemite, and was onsighting 13+ crack at the creek recently, that must be nice.

Nice, I can't wait to see more!

We were going to stop at the cathedral on my last trip down that way, but didn't because we went to some areas aorund Mesquite first, and I was totally worked after...

A couple friends and I are going to be out there for about three weeks starting Thursday. If anybody knows the area or wants to meet up, let me know. We mostly want to do tours versus resort style...

I'm heading out that way soon too. I'll be at the Portes du Soleil area in Switzerland starting on Feb. 27th for a few days, and then a few days somewhere else around there (Chamonix, we're not...

Hey Stoy, I'd be up for another attempt down there. We got a little too distracted by all those slot canyons last time, what was that, 3 years ago now? Don't know when you were thinking of going, I...

I can't really add much to the stack of nice pictures in here, but my lazyboy point and shoot did grab a couple decent ones.
...

such a sweet day, nice pics guys.

Awesome, thanks for all the pics and words, and congratulations!

Oh yeah, not trying to bad mouth the avy report, it's more of a joke from the tour today... Like when you're standing on a ridge with 30 mph winds loading one side, there's not a whole lot the avy...

Damn, the avalanche report says light winds and no danger of windslabs. :eek: If only we had called the report, we would have known to go for it! Not too shabby of a run anyway.
