Yeah - that's a smart plan, though I kinda want to get up earlier even if just to hang out and enjoy the view.
By the way, my wife has been meaning to pay you a visit...never quite finished her boot...

Hey Fellas,

Been rehabbing my knee/leg for the past year. It’s been a rough time. A winter (and summer/fall) in Edmonton with no mountain time has driven me bat-shit crazy. But watching the stoke...

Ha! Grabbed a pair of these as well. - been wanting these blue ones for a while. Told my wife afterwards - she wasn't happy, especially considering I'm out for the season with an injury. Not looking...

Oh shit, this really sucks for Pollard!
Anyone know the type and severity of his fracture?
I had a similar crash last year -blind roll over to cat track splat that left me with a completely...

Awesome piece - as usual. You guys are setting a high bar.
Is there some special technique to survive face-planting humongous back flips?

This whole thread is awesome to read. Splat - great to hear how well you're recovering. I just heard about PRP recently (heard about a red sox pitcher having the procedure, but no idea if it was...

By DO, you're referring to an osteopath, right? I know that osteopaths have much of the same training and rights as an MD, and granted I don't have the experience or knowledge to judge osteopathy,...

oops. That last one was meant for Aunt Tete.

Is your doctor not an orthopedic surgeon? I'm kind of surprised you would not already be discussing the problem with a surgeon by this point.
In my experience, a lot of doctors, especially those...

Spooky, did you really have to make me crap by pants?
What a crazy f'n line! I knew you made it down, but watching that still got my heart rate up. Didn't even know it was skiable before looking at...

Is anyone interested in compiling all the PT exercises they are doing? I know all our injuries are a bit different in type and severity, but I'm really curious what else you all are doing. And a...

A little update from me. I'm 13 weeks post op (from a pretty nasty schatzker 6). Doctor said everything looked great at 12 weeks and I'm now weight bearing. I'm still using the crutches, but I can...

Is it possible to have stuff sent to someone in the US and then have them ship it to you and claim it's worth less than 20$ to avoid the fees? Is UPS, etc. actually checking packages and assessing...

yeah, meant 'jaws' not 'draws'. Not sure i'd want to see my mother-in-law with her panties down...and a threesome with her would be pretty weird. But then again, that could be interesting.

it would be pretty cool if we compiled a whole list of little tips and techniques. Here's a couple I just figured out:
I got rid of my ace bandage and cotton stocking and found a really soft...

You should check out the knives made by Dave Beck:

He's a master craftsman and been making knives for a long long time. Got a...

This thread is awesome. i got a baby on the way due in mid july and feel pretty clueless (been pretty self absorbed with a shattered leg -and hoping I can walk by the time the baby is born).
My...

I rarely checked out gimp central before, until this week after joining the tib plateau club. I was pretty surprised to see a whole long thread up here. And its like a whole different world here...

Spooky - damn that looks scary and ridiculously steep even with the fish eye gopro flattening effect. Congrats on pulling that off.

Thanks fellas! And I'm not giving up one bit! Surgeon here in seattle is way more positive too. I'll be back out there one of these days. had another surgery today - so weird to see more fat pins...

My surgeon told me this morning that I'd never ski again, or hike for that matter. But that I could take up golf. I was really tempted to tell him to "go fuck your self and never say 'never' to me."...

Thanks for the advice mntlion. I think i have a couple surgeries to get through. But then I'm gonna kick some ass in rehab. Good to remember not to overdo it though. And then one of these days I'll...

Sorry to hear about you guys having season enders.
Mine last friday at marmot basin might be a perpetual ender. Had a pretty epic morning with sun and pow and fun lines. Was pretty beat by two....

Mustang - I just took the AST1 course the other week in Canmore with Yamnuska (thanks to T2C's suggestion). Instructors were great and the course was priced well. One day classroom and one day in...

Going to be at LL tomorrow morning and maybe Sat if anyone wants to make some turns. Blue jacket, brown pants, black variant brim...

Wow - that was bad ass! All that stoke put a smile on my face

Crap. I picked the wrong weekend/week to work. Cursing the false oracle of snowforecast.com as I obsessively check web cams all day long and kick my self... Should have known better. Must repent...

Any reports out of sunshine today beyond DD? - how's goats eye doing? Are the chutes skiable or super crusty? And anyone been out to marmot this week?
I'm getting pretty grumpy with my lack of...

I'm awed watching the pros rip pillow lines like they're zippering through some bumps (Mike D, etc. comes to mind) with incredibly calm upper bodies. It's inspired me to try (key word) skiing bumps...

Why don't ya just buy the EHPs on Sierra trading post? They'll probably be about the same SAC price with one of their discount codes...

Oh no! So so sad. Despite knowing the severity of her injury, this news is a total shock. We lost a really wonderful person...
Condolences to her family and friends.

pretty sure he means -1/-2 from the team line.

Safety meetings sound like a legit reason to put goggles up - but with some practice you don't need to.
The silicon works well - one of my smith phenoms came with it and another didnt.-don't know...

You fellas should give a call to the Palliser Lodge up at KH. I got a super sweet deal there the week before last on a 1-bedroom suite (with a pull out couch in the living room and a kitchen much...

Bumping this old thread...
Any recommendations on where to mount this years sir francis bacon? Its a completely new ski from last year.
This is for my wife -5-8, 125lb, solid skier chick on bacon...

Marmot basin was fun yesterday. They opened up the upper mountain. Had third chair on the quad and first on the new paradise lift (other than the 2 patrollers in front of me). Snow was a little...

Wait a second, three days gone by and no one has reamed out 24 seven for being a total fucktard and making stupid assumptions? I guess you guys need another low post jong to step up...?
Don't most...

Just came across some pretty cheap new 195 motherships on the evo outlet ('specially with the extra 20% discount they'll probably come out to 350$ or so) if any big dudes are interested...

Cool, thanks. I'm gonna book a course with them. -stoked to absorb some snow wisdom

Hey folks
Did a quick forum search with no luck... Any recommendations on where/who to take an AST 1 course with in banff (or maybe jasper)?

Pretty sweet that Revy is included in the LL card. That makes things simpler for me. Didn't the revy card have the first two days free last year? That made it worth it even if you only got there one...

If you want to go slightly wider - my wife, who's about the same size, has been eying this years line sir francis bacon in 172. Though she's strongly motivated by the top sheet graphics...

Anyone know if these mount up the same hole pattern as STH 12s (non-driver toe)?
Thinking of remounting a pair of skis with the 14s and switching the 12s to my wife's new skis...but don't want add...

I haven't skied both (really want to compare though) but thought I'd chime in considering you helped me out with my bents. I'm 5-10 160. I feel like my 183s are just border line too...

Alaska trekking (central range) in the summer of '94. Some of the best 31 days ever and definitely an awesome impact. Learned a lot and our group went where no nols group had gone before. Can't...

I spent a lot of nights skiing at Wachusett back in the late 80's. I was all too aware of how much it sucked having been out west a few times. On the weekends I'd usually be up at Okemo or...

I totally understand that ipad/iphone time makes things a lot easier as a parent, but it strikes me as a big social experiment especially with toddlers. It probably does enhance learning of some...

Wow. That was definitely sobering and tough to watch, but a lot to learn from it as well.
I hope Sam and Blake's family are doing well.
Thanks for the bump.

Sweet edit T2C. Way to get after it!
That just earned my vote...
