Thanks for sharing, l8r

Bring on the hate!
It's probably best you all hate on me not your girlfriends so feel free.
Also, the skier that collided with the chick wasn't my buddy just some random dude. I could olny wonder if she drives with the same lack of attention, she is a darwin award looking for a place to happen.

Last year, I'm taking my time getting ready to drop a line at rogers pass when 2 guys rock up and we get talking. they tell me this is the first day touring for guy #2. (hmmm, first time out of bounds and they choose rogers pass?) never even wore a tranciever before. He then gets all his down hill gear on and is wearing his tranciever on the outside of his jacket. We try to explain the correct way to wear it and he says
"how will it work thru all those layers of clothing?"
I was shocked, and tryed to explain that it will work under meters of snow. He clearly doesn't want to take off all the gear and says
"but its water proof, isn't it? can't just wear it here for 1 run?"
I only remembered this one on the flight over here.

Ah, true! That'd be all good, but they were getting off at Denver, and I was on my way through to Portland. However, with the rain at Hood last weekend, I really should have jumped off at Denver, too. Ah well.

Hilarious!

So no quote, but this idiot with all his fancy gear and high-mindedness is getting smoked by old dudes with butt warmers. It'll come back eventually I guess.

Patience. you're not the only one who thought his preseason routine was killer, only to be shocked at the results.

A convo w/ a friend coming from PA today to visit and ski in breckenridge for the next 4 days

Me "We have a storm moving in today, hopefully we get some good accumulation"
Friend "Uhh... I hope it doesnt snow too much, powder skiing is a pain in the ass"
Me "I guess we won't be skiing together then! (questioning our friendship)"

I figured there'd be some good reviews of ski resorts on tripadvisor.com. Sure enough I wasn't disappointed. Here's a review of Whistler/Blackcomb:

I just came back from Whistler on 2/18/09 and its true that it is the biggest and most varied ski area. But, the snow qualitity was horrible, NO POWDER and lots of ICE PATCHES, and the mountain lacks identification/directional signs on the trails! It's very easy to go off track and end up on a trail that you dont want to be on. Wether you are a Begginner Skier and suddenly end up on a Blue (Intermidiate) or Balck (Expert) Trail or an intermidiate skier, skiing Blues and Blacks and unexpectingly end up on a Green (Begginner) Trail. I have skiid almost every mountain in the U.S and a few in Canada and I must say that Breckenridge, Colorado is definately the best skking that I've ever done!!! The mountain/trails are Skier friendly, less expensive, more snow, and more powder!!! Breckenridge Village is Beutiful...

News Flash: This is a joke.
Sometimes I start asking questions like that to see what kind of reaction I get. It's amazing how many people don't get it.
Try it though. Walk up to the wheelhouse, and point asking "Is this where the moguls are stored?"

The obvious response is "no, that's where the bulls that turn the bullwheel are stabled."

Yeah, so many mountain reviews I've read go along the lines.

"This accomodation was <adjective>, the food and ambience was ....
A paragraph or two later....
The skiing was also good too.

"I find it easier to ski without poles."

At least the guy I quoted did comment on the terrain and the snow qualitity. I'm very interested in a mountain's snow qualitity.

Anything said in the "Big Sky - Hatin' the Pow!" thread/video by powdork.

...er yeh...that's the point of IR posting it...imagine that, a Maggot who can laugh at themselves.

Why are you stating the obvious?

not at all skiing related, but talking to this chick in a bar in NYC last night, telling her why I'd never make it here and how the West Coast is 1000x's better because of the rad mtns and all the open space, and she tells me she has a lot of personal space with her 450 sq ft studio apt that has a... wait for it...
