Let 'er buck!

"Up here" meaning Santa Cruz? At some point I need to look at shark danger. There was one attack on Maui the whole summer so I really didn't even think about it. All those sea lions and seals in...

Thanks for the link. Really enjoyed the surfing. The music, not so much. Well, I liked the homo music. :tongue:

It took me back in time to when we would cut up those Benjamin stickers "I Been...

This thread has so much win.

Fighting the man for use of the wilderness.
Using the outdoors for therapy/personal happiness/fulfillment.
Braving the elements.
Surfing.

Taking that surfboard...

Given that the rose is not red, respectfully have to disagree with this one. If you know a place very well, it's not that hard to stay out from under a known avalanche path if you choose to. Where...

Condolences.

Thanks for posting those fine words and pictures. :)

I agree completely with the getting in your car business. I had a random car spin a 360 right in front of me on Swan Mountain Road this winter, and it was dry! People take it for granted. I need to...

Are you on the rescue? Thank you. So hard. So sad.

Ok, that was about Porcupine, thanks from reminding me of that day. So many years ago.

Glad the relevent part about sheep creek got pulled up into this thread.

I have been starting to itch for...

so sad

............

In any case, I consider sheep creek to be very tricky. Like idiots or kitchen wall, to be respected and not skied with a ton of new snow on it.

No I forgot about that completely. Thanks for the link. I reread page one. Will read the rest too.

Well I haven't been in the backcountry really this season. Having a ton of fun in bounds....

Yeah, that's the sheep creek spot for sure. Very prone to slide actually.

edit - not gonna make jokes in this thread.

Where was this slide exactly?

Hmmm interesting, they were saying on the radio that an avalanche caused the pass to close. I was wondering what could have slid that would close the road. Tracks on the prof nice and clean. No...

East wall was pretty sickety today. No notches though.

Haha, I ski with the Mexicans plenty at Breck. Sometimes seems like they act a little more entitled than most...the kids are great and often ski well. Sigame!

Brennan do you honestly think tomorrow at Loveland will be any kind of encore to your day today at Breck? Well my day was freaking unbelievable and I can only hope that yours was even close. I'm...

Cool, cool. I am the proud owner of the small tall. Hehe, working on an angle to get paid for wearing it. Stay tuned...

One of these days...I need to replace my truck this year so will stick round CO til mid May...but one of these I will attend.

It's a such privilege. When I was a kid, my various coaches were the people I looked up to the most. :)

1. And waltzing into the bar with your beacon all conspicuous - priceless :D
2. Candystore!
2. Slopestyle with a polemount of course! (actually take care cause this one rips out big)
3. Hiya....

Cool. You're lucky, first year people can live in housing. Let me know which base area - I teach 7-13 out of the Village. PM me if you need anything. :)

Is line is worth a TR? Jeez. Walk up, ski down, have drinks at A Basin. Everyone that lives around here should do it, but not all at once. I walked up the ridge on the side and over and that was...

I dunno, seems like about $700 - on top of the season pass price.

Here's one of my kids, started skiing with me when he was 2. So into racing now.

Don't worry, if you request me by name on a pow day I will ski with you. :)

I guess Vail Resorts has a long term plan for Kirkwood. Must be plenty of people that know all about it here on the forum. Aren't they addressing the power supply right now? My guess from what I've...

:D

I just wanted to give you guys a link since signup starts today for next season: http://www.breckenridge.com/ski-and-ride-school/specialty-programs/ski-and-snowboard-specialty-programs.aspx

I was...

Second the spring skiing. I spent 3 days at Beaver Creek this past week. So awesome. Well, not first thing in the morning on the day after the powder settled. Chomping to get above treeline at Breck,...

Are you Chris Roussy? If so, best wishes to a Colorado boy on your endeavors. :)

I love the idea of retro ski furniture for kids.

But the myplate thing? Eeeeew. Personally I eat paleo+dairy and...

I gotta second the bamboo forests. My absolute favorite thing about the Hana side was being buried deep in the bamboo. The seven sacred pools has a hike up and up to a waterfall and the path up is...

I've been throwing down pushups whenever it occurs to me. No gym time required. I'm also doing handstands against the wall and trying to do those pushups. So hard - started with maybe just an inch...

Enjoyed the read. Weird thing was that I agreed with so much of what he said. And I thought I was such a unique little snowflake. :tongue:

Oooooh nooooo, the cool kids won't like me? :rolleyes: :D

I have a strange way to console myself about wearing the wetsuit this summer. You know all the cool marine mammals in CA, well I kinda...

Ha, that's what I need. Is it completely retarded to put the suit on at home and then drive around?

In my opinion, San Diego is frigid. I checked temps and you gotta go waaaay down Baja before it...

Just read through all this...Mike, you are fighting the good fight here. I wonder if you actually can make a change. In years past I know some patrollers kept up on TGR, lurking of course. Not Pip...

Um, yeah, cause everybody in San Diego has a woodstove. :tongue:

I read about rolling the suit in a couple of towels to squeegee out the excess moisture, then hang. Will try that.

Did it all slide? All that work for nothing! It was a pretty day though...

Not ready to dabble yet, but will keep in mind. Thanks. :)



Haha, yeah, I feel that.

Dibs on the Xcel! Wow, can't believe a maggot is selling exactly what I need. I'm 5'8" and about 135 lbs. I always wear tall sizes and have broader shoulders and narrower hips than most girls.

So...

Ok I understand, that is cool. I'll practice. It'll be nice to surf somewhere that I can kick around and not worry about wrecking myself on coral. I can push a big board under the white and get my...

OMG, yeah I read about that when I was googling for lefts. New surf camp running off long time locals and visitors and using violence. Really sad. And it sounded like those breaks were pretty remote...

So what is the shortest, oops I mean longest, length and type of board that you can duck dive? Maybe not a good reason to want to surf a shorter board, but it would be cool to just go under the wave....

Hehe, I thought he looked pretty good. ;)

Very interesting. Not my board. We went kayaking one day from the harbor over to Launiupoko and there were a couple on the beach so we traded toys. I got my best ride ever on that board. Magical. I...

OMG, shut up!!!!!!!!!!! :D

If that kid would just ride the freaking wave already. He knows how to surf. Or just go to the other side with all the shortboarder groms. Then he would be out of the...

You're making the ice coast sound tasty. :tongue:

As far as our snowpack goes, you just gotta learn how it works and then flow with it. If you fight it or try to dominate it, you risk the mighty...

Haha, yeah Maui is freaking crowded on the water. I didn't learn anything about lineups really, but I was just at the rock wall in Lahaina. I'm really thinking about checking out the south shore of...

Here's a look in real life of the board. I'm 5'8".
