Umm… did I miss an important thread?

Give it 10 years…

Not the line, but I've started occasionally spraying people who are just standing there blocking the lift line entrances / ropes, in particular if there's a crux and it's extremely obvious. This...

Stevie D? Steve-a-reno?

^^ Gaper quote?

This isn't really a gaper quote, more of an odd sighting. This past weekend a guy was riding the magic carpet with his daughter. She fell after about two feet and her ski popped off to the side and...

That's nice and all, but was the beer full to the absolute rim of the glass? Otherwise it doesn't count.

I hear people use this all the time. What's the issue?

The goofy ski costume thing has definitely jumped the shark after this season (aside from specific events like Pain McSchlonkey, gaper day, etc.).

Heh. That's pretty good.

Man, it seems like the gold / silver suits are absolutely everywhere now. I've seen a ton of them around Tahoe this season. Worth noting that he has his pant legs tucked in his ski boots.

Because 45 degrees is exactly one foot out for every foot down. So it's equal aka 100%

I don’t know, it’s a fine line. Again, there’s plenty of stuff you can die on at any given time. Patrol usually has a good handle on it.

I’ve mostly heard velvet used in reference to snow in Alaska.

Ha, not sure if you follow the Tahoe thread but I just posted yesterday about my friend and I having to side slip down the top portion of light towers earlier this week. Late afternoon and we...

I’ll take the bait and point out that there is nothing on the east coast (inbounds) like chute 75 when it’s slick. We get plenty of shit fuck conditions out here too… unfortunately more frequently...

Ha! I like this...

It’s not that cut and dry. Some of the steep stuff softens up as the day goes on and has been really fun lately. But people get in over their heads or ski too fast when they should dial it back. Same...

Well, we've had a few fatalities and severe injuries around these parts over the last few weeks. That sign is right when you get off KT-22 but basically all of the runs on the west face are closed...

Left my boots at home once! That was... uh... kind of a deal breaker and had to go back.

Added context: the forecast for Tahoe has been bone dry for weeks now (ever since the huge December dump), so that makes this particularly absurd.

^^ The rig making the ski box more accessible (with less wind resistance) actually makes sense and seems pretty clever. One question though, I guess you just have to leave the bar holding the box in...

I got taken out by a slough train in AK last season and was very thankful my guide had decided to wait up top and let us go first. One of my skis was about 400 feet above where I ended up. If I had...

^^ Is that an old school leather water bag your husband is carrying there? (I assume that’s him, hard to tell from the photo)

He's either a gaper or a total bad-ass. There's no in-between.

Reminds me of that Jaded Local story several years back about "beatering" and seeing this guy with snowblades on the Midi in Cham...

I’m down for some groomer hot laps when conditions make off piste not fun. Sure thing. Heading to Montana first week of December and plan to hit Sun Valley on the way home.

Hey, everyone talks...

It was my post. The lap is all yours.

So… like, Sun Valley is fun for sure, but to circle back… to say the terrain there is “much more difficult” than anything in Tahoe is ridiculous. I mean, come on. GTFO of here. One of the dumber...

Some guy on Facebook: “obviously you never skied here, the runs are much more difficult than anything in the Tahoe area.”

He’s referring to Sun Valley. Lol…

(For the record I quite enjoyed SV...

Saw them today too. We should make some turns sometime old goat. I bet we’ve already met on a chair at some point.

^^ Isn’t that a legit question right now?

I have friends who use a little rug or floor mat and every time I keep telling myself I need to get one for those icy parking lot mornings. Was at the hardware store the other day and some old guy...

My buddy has a porsche with ski racks and I kind of teased him about it, until we jetted down to Mammoth for some spring skiing with our skis in the rack up top. Driving 395 in a car like that can...

Fortunately we store the mud in the shed with the moguls.

Nah there’s always mud out front when I try to park there. ;-)

Co-signed.

No... think Dolphin turns.

We haven't had a new TGR meme in quite a while ($37 is probably the most recent), but this has potential.

The weird lift maze struggle this season is real. A couple times I’ve almost skied right into the spacing / Divider lane.

^^ That must have been enjoyable. Lol...

Ha. But seriously props to Truckee’s own Ross Tester who won his first ever FWT event.

Those Sugar Bowl and Squaw freeride kids absolutely shred. Two of them competing on the FWT right now, placed 1st and 4th in yesterday's Andorra event.

I had this same experience just last week (first time I'd seen it in the wild) but instead of looking elsewhere I pointed down at my own skis also mounted with shifts! lol...

I always beep on deeper days. I've been caught twice inbounds. First was on Headwall Face at Squaw on April 1, 2014 after 2+ feet of snow overnight. Slow, heavier, spring snow so it wasn't a big...

By far my worst ski crash so far this season was in the parking lot at Squaw. Full yard sale. Always embarrassing even though we've all done it.

Alpine does have open gates so he could have theoretically been up to something. The other answer is he’s preparing for a trip where that will be what he’s skiing with so he wants to get used to it...

Jerry Jam! I love it...

No, there are less lanes available due to covid spacing so people blocking one or two of them is far more noticeable and annoying now.

Yeah I’ve noticed this as well. Especially blocking the lift maze entry.
