Yeah, that was fun! Nicely done, you guys. DH hit 80MPH on stock Bro's on our last run (which is prolly the biggest reason it became the last run). Claymond achieved the highest snowboarder speed...

Thanks gary, slaag, mofro, flowing.
I'll look for you deephelmet, marshalolson, claymond.
Tomcrac, I haven't ever checked that and no, it's not a closed course. In fact, depending on conditions, we...

Yup, yep, it's hard to believe it's been another year since the last one. Even more boggling that the 11th one is about to begin. But, hey, mangs/maggs...it's time again for THE ROCKIN RADAR SPEED...

Yes I was aware Monterreal has a plastic training ramp like those seen at some of the large US shopping malls, and even in Saudi Arabia. It still doesn't change the fact it's a country without a...

It does make one wonder. Oh, and prolly a really good call on the novia chica sin ganas de esquiar. Heh

Bwahahaahahaahaha! THAT IS FRIGGIN AWESOME!

I never cease to be amazed by incredibly talented (and creative) people!

Few would dispute skiing can be difficult. Getting ready, gassing up, gearing up, getting there, high prices, endless practice with little progress, constantly adjusting so as to not freeze nor...

In total agreement with you on that, sfb. In fact, if you'll remember, we finally got a little storm momentum going the first week of March last year. A few consecutive storms added up to 63" in 11...

The difference between this season and last is a Gandalf and a half. Well, for us in the SLC area anyway. Last month's Gandalf, or Gandolf (if using the weather channel spelling), or Gad-olf (if...

Iraq....

I didn't. I've certainly experienced the holds, delays, and shut-outs, during my trips there but had no idea about those behind-the-scene details.
Thanks for posting that. Seriously.

Hey mangs/maggs... ya'll might've heard about Radar Speed Trap Day before last. Stroup Skier reached 80MPH! Yes, it was very gratifying to finally document 80, since we've known for years it could be...

I guess I could be reading more into these recent decisions than is warranted, but then again, maybe not.
A week and a half ago, the bird did four things they've NEVER done in the 28 yrs I've been...

Not that I was expecting anything too exciting, but for the first time in memory I'm sitting in my car, 30 ft from a ski run, typing a post on the internet instead of opening up the door to ski.
One...

That IS Alta's total and no, it is not a Utah record. Alta's had snow seasons exceeding 800" at least 4 times in recent memory: '84, '93, '95, and '05. Alta's numbers are reliable because they've...

FTW! LOL! Bahahaaahahahaahahaaaaaa!

Nice job, AKPM! That represents a lot of hard work. Way to see it through!

Holy Alla, Alabama Mama! Obama offed Osama! ! ! !

How cool is this?!! Wow, very impressive for MLB to do this. Unfortunately I just saw this thread for the first time or I would have driven up there to ski this weekend. Instead, I'm working in NM,...

Alta closing in May has never happened before in the 30+ years I've been keeping track. This will truly be an historic occasion!
Kudos to Alta for forward thinking!! I'll be supporting this for sure.

Hey mangs... ya'll might've heard about last year's Radar Speed Trap Day. Stroup Skier reached 80MPH! Yes, it was very gratifying to finally document 80, since we've known for years it could be done....

Snowbird's reported season total this morning (4/7/11) was 584". Last year it wasn't until May 11th that the bird reported 584.

But, it's not that the bird is having such a great season so much as...

This morning's foot and a half of new pow was the lightest and driest I've skied all season. Great day.

As far as posting Peruvian's vert- it consistently measured between 2428'-2430' from ski...

Dat be kew. I'm gonna try and check on Friday and post the findings if I can.

Hey! No hating on the stats!
Search function, my friend. I'm positive you will find the stats-hating thread you seek.

Nope. The tram was only used to take the appx 100 participants to the top at 7P for a "pace" run to the bottom. They ran Gadzoom for us from 7 to midnight, then we had to switch over to Peruvian...

Bahahahahaahahahaahahaaaaaa ! ! ! ! !

Aha. I'd say that should be a pretty reliable source. And, thanks for reminding me about the 1,620' vertical from Zoom to Perv. That actually solves the mystery of the 62nd run shown on my Casio...

Matt,
Good to see additional confirmation of the glitch, but I think you could be short-changing yourself using a 2,408 vertical for Peruvian. Several published sources list it at 2,573.
For the...

The event was a blast! Everyone I talked to had fun, we can’t thank snowbird enough, and all agreed what a perfect night it turned out to be. All night I could not get over how eerie cool it was to...

Bwahahahaaahahahahahahahaahahaaaaa!!!!!

If you're going to spend money on a ski trip and then try to quarterback the weather, perhaps you live a life otherwise free of serious stress. If so, then, good on you.

However, if the condition...

I skied Apache last season and was pleasantly surprised. Quite a nice little place if you decide part way through your marathon drive that 18 hours hain't worth it.
That said, it might've sucked had...

The Duke of Hurl is still waiting to hear the sound of one hand clapping.

Last February, on the 12th, a similar, extremely rare weather day was reported, also with 49 of 50 states documenting MEASUREABLE snow on the ground. This year, just as with last year, Florida was...

Woodsy got chucked by a woodchuck.

Hey mang! I'm psyched for yet another safari season. I'm thinking this'll be a better year for hookin up w/u. Wish it would've worked out last season for you in Canuckia w/Scully, Crash55, and me. ...

I don't know if I'd call skiing my golf, but it has more than taken the place of golf in my space/time continuum. But, initially, it wasn't by choice.

For a couple of magical years in the late...

I second the '03 Atomic Big Daddy with the hostage bindings. My scale shows them at 20 pounds for the pair. I hiked with them once & never will again. I don't even think about skiing them until the...

Thanks for the heads up. Here's hoping they'll be able to get it open in the next 4 1/2 hours. Although the Gad plot shows about 11 new in the last 12 hours there's gotta be some pretty weird loading...

The problem usually isn't AT the destination--not that many make it. Just like with Bookends, it's in trying to get there through the shizshow; the endless stream of newbies, look-i-loo's and...

Yeeeah, I guess if by "all the kinks worked out" you mean like the new snowboards with a motor-driven edge tread that digs into the mountainside for a couple inches of grip and then self-propels an...

This debate's been going on since the big Remarq, Deja, and R.S.A. ski forums of the 90's (Fiddler remembers those BB's because that's how he and I first met).

I'll go ahead and post here what I...

Apparently you just skimmed my comments, ché. The story starts out a little chippy but quickly turned stellar. Don't worry; the bird still comes out lookin good. :-D

If you hear mixed reports about the bird today there's good reason. I have to admit I was none too thrilled when the mid-gad time lapse stake showed no new snow from yesterday afternoon to 10:30 this...

You know me better than that. I've never implied he's an altruist. I'm not proclaiming he's the best thing that ever happened to Utah skiing (though some can convincingly make that argument). I don't...

Say what you will about Mr. Bass, but, currently, four generations of our family thank his vision, tenacity, business acumen, pure love of the mountains, and his willingness to listen to Ted Johnson...
