That's still great coverage. Sorry to see how devastated Cold Springs is. It was a cool spot when I was there a few years ago.

This is going up Suksdorf (same approach) when I did it a few years...

Heh..... I've been doing my 'once in a lifetime' trip (as I told my wife) for the past 12-13 years, sometimes twice or three times in a year. Funny how those tend to creep up on you.

Nicely done tribute and fitting memorial TR. All the boys were looking down on you in order to give you conditions fitting of your theme. Well done.

I really like Lost Trail. Lots of nice, cold powder, bluebird and hardly any people when I've been there. Nice edit!

Is he from Sandpoint? He looks really familiar, like recently familiar. I think I ran into him at SV this year.

RIP and condolences to his family and friends.

^^ Damn! Missed that.

That was meant for Chiller's post but...applies to milmac, too.

One of those that I have on a bucket list but have serious doubts that I'll ever get it done (wife issues). At least I get to ski it vicariously through TR's that some of you guys put up. Nice...

One of the worst flights in my life was from Denver to Durango this year on Great Lakes. It wasn't their fault; bad weather but it had a couple of kids on the plane shrieking and was rough as hell....

There were four of us in the same situation. Yes, I'm aware of the federally forced penalties imposed on airlines for delays. I don't care about the facts of that as it's a case of government...

That's good to know. Since I was bumped, US Airways left DC 45 minutes late, stuck on the tarmac another 20 minutes, and therefore 45 minutes late into Phoenix. I had to run from B14 to A10 for my...

Bumping a four year old thread because they did it again. Came to DC on Tuesday via Frontier. No problems, all went well. Right now, I'm sitting in Reagan National for six hours because they bumped...

Schweitzer was awesome on Saturday and today, both. Yesterday, though, was probably the best day of the year for me, at least for not being on a helicopter. It was deep and light! Big Timber was off...

At first, I was thinking Highway Star alias....so...."I'm so HAWT" skier.

Now, with this latest spew, I'm thinking this is Kim Jung Un's alias. The real one, not some alias', alias.

What is it about DD that reminds me of.....of.....hmmmm........Highway Star?

A couple of weekends ago, touring on private land that's posted as no snowmobiles, there were five guys ripping the shit out of what's generally a BC ski playland. Aside from being noisy, they ripped...

Went off the back of the triple at Schweitzer on Saturday. 6" of sugar on top of a bit of a crust. It was pretty good up high but down at about 5500', the 'dust on crust' was more apparent. There had...

The figure 8 reputation for most heli ops comes from the old school of heli-skiing and the Euros who only want to ski pretty turns on the glaciers. There are tons of Germans, Austrians, and Swiss...

I wasn't in this (other commitments, couldn't make it happen) but here is a short vid from Lookout today that our crew got. Looks pretty damn good, considering how Schweitzer was yesterday. Lookout...

Yeah, I have a friend like that, too. He's 76, started skiing when he was 11, and has logged every day he's ever skied, what runs, the conditions, any noteworthy events (like injury or getting laid...

I missed this before. You and unemployed put up a couple of awesome TR's. Nice work and incredible photography. Really cool trip.

Awesome and downright proper TR! Those are some incredible photos. I am particularly favoring those night shots of Willis Wall. Beautiful!!

It wasn't. The wind was nuking and blew snow all over the place. We'd hit some nice pockets in the trees off Whiplash then hit a frozen clump that would just about take your ski off. Same thing in...

Maybe he's saying that it only counts as a half-day.

^^^Thanks.

Apparently you have one less appendage than Buster.

Gary - How is the drive from Terrace to Stewart in, say, March. Does that highway stay open most of the winter?

These are from about a month ago but here are a couple of videos from the San Juans. We came in at the tail end of the first storm that started the cycle that has hit the area over the past few...

It's March here in the PNW. Weather forecasts change about every 10 minutes and are rarely right. I think you're probably hitting it right as the forecasts for the mountains are now for cooler than...

^^ Thanks, guys. Yeah, I would want to do a good job of planning it out to take advantage of the road miles. Also, for the days that areas are closed, I would have touring gear with me so could make...

Cool video. Nice edit on that, Blurred. As fun as it probably is, it's not something I would be able to get myself to do. I'm fairly confident that I'd slam myself into a tree/cliff/wall or collapse...

Yeah, yeah, happy to be riff raff... I may have to fire up the Oldsmobile and make my way up there later in the spring. Need to figure out a workable schedule.

DD - So your point is that you see what you have determined to be gapers, wearing Arc'Teryx soft goods and skiing on expensive skis, wearing packs with shovels, transceivers, etc., in your trip to...

Okay, then explain the "near pro" thing.



Okay, you are aware this is TGR, right? Being a prick is just an environmental side effect.



Which is what makes your original post...

What you posted:



What I read:



I didn't see any questions posed. And, by the way, just what is a "near pro"?

I looked at it from Spokane and it's a choice of circuitous routes, takes a fair amount of time, and is around $1,000-1,100. If I did it, I'd probably prefer to drive it. The dealbreaker for this...

^^^ Heh, good point.

He didn't get me worked up. I really don't know him but liked him well enough from what I read of his. He was kind of a fun guy to have around. He hasn't posted here, at least under his original name...

Crikeys, mate! Nice shot and holy shit, as Scot Schmidt was famously known to say... "STEEP!"

First, let me give you the obligatory: Search Function, JONG!

Now that that's out of the way, here is his member page. Peruse at will.

Well, at least you admit to having a pussy... BTW FIFY

(geez, this guy sounds so much like a Blurred alias.....)

Mt. Spokane tomorrow, eh? Good luck with that. This is the forecast for the top of the mountain tonight and tomorrow...




Tonight
Rain likely, mainly after 11pm. Cloudy, with a low around...

Nice! And only about 5 hours from Spokane, closer than Revy.... Hmmmm....

Where is that; what operation? Looks pretty fun. I love nicely spaced trees like that.

No worries. If there's one thing in life I've learned it's how to be self-sufficient when it comes to beer. I'm a bit of a survivalist in that regard.

Won't happen this year but worth looking...

Yeah, we didn't get to Silverton due to some complications in setting up our schedule. At first it was in the program but got sidelined. We drove right by it going from TRide to Durango the last day...

We like food. Lots of food. And beer. Lots of beer. And powder. Lot and LOTS of powder.

Excellent TR! Nice that you hit the storm cycle right and got the goods. Wasn't anywhere NEAR as nice for us when we were there...ahh but for another couple of weeks wait...

Here are a couple of shows from two and three years ago, to give you an idea. Lots of the stuff that shows on NWCN and around the country are remixes of some of the original stuff so there's no...

We're on NWCN on Saturdays from 10:30-11:00 pm and Sundays 5:30-6:00 pm through the end of March. Also show on about 250 syndicated channels around the country at various times throughout the season....

Well, yeah, there too but more directly for the TV show.
