. No lines at 11am this morning, tomorrow will be a shitshow. I’d go late, after everyone has taken their 10 runs and gone home. Yeah, it’s man-made mank, but it skis fast and it’s fun
Again, the clincher was that Alta was going to cede Grizzly Gulch in exchange for the building of a train.
The train was not Alta's idea, they were just going along for the ride. The train is not...
Yeah, it’s not butthurt or entitlement. Alta never wanted a train in the first place. The knuckleheads at Save Our Canyons, et al, said if we get a train in, are you willing to give up that land? ...
Hold my beer...

Well yeah, but this was predictable. As was pointed out, the Mountain Accord called for a train and tunnels to connect to Big Cottonwood. If that were to occur, then all of the Grizzly Gulch land...
The unlimited Solitude aspect brings with it a massive development in the touring possibilities for us Park City folk, euro style. The cost of the IKON AND EPIC combined equals what a season pass to...
Yeah, I know I'm a broken record, but One Wasatch just got one step closer to happening. We used to have 7 separate central Wasatch ski areas on 7 season passes, now it's being whittled down to the...
If anyone had been questioning the resolve of the Wasatch resorts wanting to play together, here's your answer; the Ikon pass. Now seven resorts can be skied with only three season passes, if that's...

The cog railways I've been on go 40-50 mph up some decent grades. They don't crawl, as some are saying. I'm sure there are some that crawl up very steep grades, a...
Dude. Put the crack pipe down. Bikes are faster than pedestrians due to mechanical advantage. Ever seen someone run 30 mph? Me neither. A good biker can sustain that for quite some time. ...
Why thank you. At least someone's paying attention!
Umm...I was thinking specifically of horses. If the climbers start hating on the horse folk, then the horse folk start hating on the climbers, & so on and so forth. A slippery slope.
Ossified?...
Call me a simpleton, but I consider the old-school wilderness areas sacrosanct. I don't want to be on an approach and hear someone grinding gears or the squealing of brakes.
For newer wilderness...
Maybe.
Umm..not really. They are going to put buildings up where there's parking lots. I don't think there are any songs decrying the LOSS of a parking lot. I do like the Kink's Come Dancing, but again,...
Did you have a question? Thanks for thinking of me, lol.
Pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.

If you can't ski bumps well, you suck! Ha ha! Gaper!
Do you know the engineering philosophy as to why they would come apart by design? That sounds like an awful idea. Was exploding supposed to be a back-up redundant system?
I was racing pretty...
Sorry. Pre-releasing is one of my worst fears. In the '80's we used to call the Marker Rotomat the Explodamat because they had a reputation for pre-releasing and disintegrating. I never had the...
Yeah, but how can you tell who's who? By looking at me and my up-till-last-week 100% stock rubi, you'd guess I'd be driving a mall crawler. But no, my rig has seen some serious action. I feel your...
90%?! I guess it's time for me to quit the herp-dog jokes.
OK, show us what you've done lately. I believe it takes skill. And cat-like reflexes to deal with the inevitable...not optimum situation.
In my 40+ years of skiing, every resort -big or small- has always been an insufferable hellhole nightmare on Presidents Day weekend in terms of lifelines and parking. Even before it was called...
I had the same concern with my large size. Wear 'em a bit. They're awesome.
The vibe & terrain in BCC are indeed awesome. More likely than not however, you'll end up living and working in the endless strip mall, inversion-polluted Salt Lake City.
Park City on the other...
Truth.
No, your question was fine. This is a tough crowd. Trust me, I feel your pain.
You're going to want those sun cups warm and a bit softened-up before your speed run.
Absolutely. But I'm surprised that someone who owns 218 DH boards would even think to ask.
Today did not suck. Up until about 1300 there were lift served untracked laps on 9990. Then elsewhere. Where's elsewhere? I'm not telling!
I didn't know him, but a lot of people were pulling for a favorable outcome once he went missing. He was well liked. Huge bummer. Sorry for your loss.
Trolling or kidding?
Winter Solstice, say hello to my friend the Atmospheric River, oh yeah!

Republican deflection? That's pretty damn funny. But see? This is like religion. I questioned your "faith" with specific examples, your response was to blather, unable to address any of my points...
Climate change is a new religion. Get people all fired up and scared so they will willingly hand their money over. We should always strive to be better stewards of the planet. But last I checked,...
Ha ha. And all of this time I thought I was just a garden-variety asshole. I believe a dipshit is below the level of Asshole, according to Maslow. I am honored, Sir.
Pretty much...
Different casino, same game.

Just awful, bitter news. The kid was a genuinely nice guy and overflowing with talent and ski stoke.
RIP young man. So sorry the journey wasn't longer.
First I've heard of this. A Tahoe legend, and great alpinist.
Hey, I'm just reiterating what Mountain Trails put out. This isn't my fight, and I doubt that a bunch of Colony owners come on to TGR to be personally offended. We could talk about a constructive...
Hey Einstein, I didn't imply a wholesale closure of the mid-mountain trail. Get your head out of your ass.
On post #24 on this very thread, I disseminated information that Mountain Trails wanted...
[QUOTE=Dantheman;4553322]That's not it. His trail is some truly epic subdivision riding though./QUOTE]
You're just jealous.
The only reason I mentioned it was to establish that I know a thing...
Yeah, there's tons of trails that are horrible for mountain bikers. The last time I rode my bike up the Pffierhorn was a bitch. You missed the entire point. "...and others like you" is you.
Sam...
Yes. Absolutely. Right up to the point where your ignorance and stupidity outdo my insufferable twattiness because the Mid Mountain and Wasatch Crest are no longer rideable because of your...
