    Skiing's first crowd-sourced roadtrip?

    Hey mags,

    So we here at TGR are currently at the beginning of a bit of a three-week experiment we're calling the #Crowdtrip. Instead of your normal roadtrip, we're sending four guys from Vancouver on a three-week tour of all six Mountain Collective destinations (Jackson Hole, then Aspen/Snowmass, then AltaBird, then Mammoth, then Squaw/Alpine, then Whistler) during which these four guys will try and complete as many challenges "the internet" puts them up to as possible.

    They just got to Jackson late last night, and after a little introductory afternoon on Teton Pass today, we've accumulated a few challenges for them to complete with their remaining two days in town:
    1) Play SKI with Daniel Tisi (TGR film skier) down various lines at the resort.
    2) Ski Corbet's in a pink bunny suit
    3) Ski top-to-bottom off the tram switch while someone else skis top-to-bottom on one ski.
    4) Go commando at Huckleberry Hot Springs

    We're pushing a lot of the crowd-sourcing through our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and have set up a designated site for the trip at tetongravity.com/crowdtrip, but I also wanted to solicit ideas from you mags.

    While I expect most of you will offer only sarcastic and demeaning slander, given current implications from big data, I'd expect maybe 10% of you might be willing to posit some type of challenge for your favorite mountain along the way and even for the road tripping in between them all. To give you an idea of the kind of stuff we've been thinking up, here's a few of them:

    -Summit all four mountains at Aspen/Snowmass in one day
    -Sneak in the Caribou Club in Aspen, hit on a cougar
    -Eat the mac n cheese kids lunch with the Mighty Mites at Squaw Valley
    -Ski every lift at Whistler/Blackcomb in one day
    -High five ten bros with GoPros at any mountain
    -Snowblade KT-22
    -Find a celebrity at Mammoth, and buy the Jaded Local a drink

    So, go ahead and put up your own challenges in the thread, and I'll do my best to update this thread with the content that comes along the course of the trip, which goes from now until February 6th. For more info, check out the #crowdtrip site above.

    This is a mission you just do, document, then post the stoke.

    It is like finding out there is no Santa Claus, but you still get presents…. so because of this fact, of course people "will offer only sarcastic and demeaning slander".

    No chick on the team= fail.

    This guy on another forum nailed it:
    What? Where did Ryan ask for money? Dude is asking for ideas. It looks like they have BMW and Mountain Collective sponsoring the trip?

    Go to Teton Thai and order anything #5... and film it.
    "Stage dive" off the second floor balcony at the Moose... and film it.
    Lick the floor at the Coach... and film it.

    I can think of a bunch of other crappy things if you want.
