Skied pretty much this exact line on Sunday.... not nearly up to this caliber... damn.

I'm very keen to get going on some touring, I need more experience under my belt and figure going with people who have it is a good way to do that. I have the gear, and some course knowledge. Let me...

My hip and ski base can agree with this.... lesson learned last year. Not heading up for opening, and not venturing into the alpine for a while yet.

I'm in Palm Springs this weekend too! (same as Palm Desert right?) What you heading down there for?

I think it's going to be a balmy 27 degrees down there... Not conducive to ski stoke.

I think this is a great idea. I do a lot of skiing, but I want to start doing more touring, have all my gear, and have already done a fair amount. Just want to leanr more places, and more knowledge...

How much for the Zetts jersey!!??

Well I just forwarded that link for a few laughs. Good one. Craigslist humour is some of the best, and also a great waste of office time.

Dreaming of turns in snow. Keep the pre-season stoke up!

Lost your keys!? Damn dude... at least you still got a super up beat attitude for it all. Wish I could have been there for the festivities.

This might help push a sale... Wish I had room for them.

GoNads!!! Good post, sick photos to boot!!

YUP!!! Very sick edit, well done. It's been pretty damn all time this last little while.

That's f'in great. Glad to see people bringing their game face to the game of g.n.a.r. Good work.

I grabbed this off SAC. Smokin' deal. Probably the largest value single item I've bought off that site so far too. Stoked for the new beacon though.

Thanks Wunderkind for the head's up!!

Still beats a day in the office.

Anybody looking to run some slackcountry laps tomorrow?? Likely going to be up around there, possibly looking for some other people to head out with. Let me know. E-mail is best mrocksmith at...

Wow... jesus that's scary. Unbelievably lucky nobody was taken down in that.

I missed all the weekend stoke contribution, but mine echoes what everybody else was saying anyway. Whistler, was mostly un crowded for the most part (by weekend standards). McC's was tits deep,...

Hmmm... Ya I guess it's not that bad up there right now....................

Will be up tomorrow for whoever wants to get in on some laps. mrocksmith at gmail.com

Geeeez... That just sounds terrible............ fml

Who's heading up for the weekend?

So... there's problems in the backcountry, and it's becoming more and more popular to head out there, these things will iron out over time, not to worry at the moment. I'm sure we will see...

Ya, Decker is on my to-do list. Hopefully in the next few weeks here, if things line up right. Where is 19th with respect to 9th?

yup... well executed backflip for sure. Good work!!

VERY nice. That ridge in the foreground there has some sick looking terrain possibilities. Nice zone for throwing some laps.

Really?? Guess it improved nicely since Saturday then. I found it had a bit of a wind affected layer near the top, after that it was just deep perfection. Beautiful.

Awesome... very good clip. The last little bit has been insane indeed. Good work.

Sick little pointer!! Hence your name I guess, haha.

great looking time you guys had too. Good on ya. Mind PM'ing me where in the Duffy area you were?

eeeeesh. That fissile one looks scary. Close to home for lots of us too. Pretty thick crown on it. Glad nobody was taken down with it.

Is some of that instability due to the sun pounding on those...

Yep... That was great stoke. Good pictures and all. Looks like everybody had a blast. What a way to spend your 40th birthday, can you really ask for anything more?

Sick sick vid man. Glad it turned out, and stoked to watch it. Makes me want to try it next time. Good day though, and we'll have to catch up again soon. You can show me the rope line.

Heading up in about 6 hours here. See you all there, hopefully I can still scrape up some goods. I'm looking to hit up some touring, if anyone can meet up, e-mail me your phone numbers, I'll likely...

Nice.... very sick line. Classic big mountain cojones line.

This is an official calling for any job openings currently in Whistler. Enough of this teasing, I'm ready to move now! Motivated...

That's a creepy thing to report. I could totally see that being a tough one to ski away from, geeez. In conditions like that though, and not having any sort of touring gear, you'd be hard pressed to...

This whole work Mon-Fri thing is really eating away at my soul.

I guess incessantly coming back to this "stoke" thread isn't helping either.

Yup, I definitely second these thoughts. Definitely one of the better zones for that day. We were throwing down hero laps through Million Dollar, Khyber, McConkey's all day. Great times.

That depends entirely on what club it is... It could be an amazing idea.

Picture of this gem???

I hear ya... I need to get out more and learn the ropes of the terrain out there. care to share???


@Lani.... That slide photo is nuts!!! Holy crap that would have been a spectacle and a half....

Very nice.... good write-up and photos too. Looks like a blast.

Oh man... you've got me itching even more for this.

I'll make it happen.

Yellow Arc Teryx jacket, black G10 MX, and Elan Boomerangs, oh and green scott poles with big orange baskets, can't be...

I'm going to pull every string I can to try and get up there for Friday.These conditions just can't be passed up. Will advise on my success or failure.

Is that a teletubbie head piece on the one monoskier there!!??

Gapers!!!

Yes.... I thouroughly appreciated this video. Keep it up.

Makes my days in the office here that much more entertaining.

I'd say right now.... be there right now, and it will be good.

Just a good aluminum one piece pole (ie. Scott series 4 alum.) is what I use, and after reading this, I'm going to bust out the hockey tape when I get home. Maybe buy some 2 piece pole in the future,...

That kid is nuts... props to him for having absolutely no fear, and the skills to pull this shit off. It's stuff like that that makes life interesting, knowing that there are people out there that...

Eeeeesh, sounds dicey. Glad I stuck to bcomb this weekend.

Looks like there should be some good snowfall this week though, lets hope forecasts hold up, and the white stuff keeps coming.
...

S7's is the quivalent of the Cove Shocker in the bike park circa 1 or 2 summers ago. Oh, and 90% of the time with a rock shox boxxer on the front.

As far as stoke goes... CANNOT wait for this...

I totally know what you mean, I remember exactly too.

Also, the North Stars Avatar..... Keep it real man. Jon Casey, Mike Modano, those were the years. Never forget.
