    Playing the game of GNAR at keystone, brek, and abasin

    So I'm starting up a gnar club at my college, and having never skiied most of the mountains on the epic pass before I don't really know how to create the scoresheet for brek, keystone and abasin. What are some of the toughest lines, or things that only locals would know about that could earn you gnar points? I usually ski at snowbird or alta so a line that would work on the score sheet could be "great scott" or "hit x cliff in devil's castle" or "ride up peruvian with a porcupine".

    Any ideas? What are some of the best cliffs, the best places to polewhack, etc.

    Molly Hogan Bowl in low snow is about as real as it gets.

    I'd suggest the lodge bathroom for pole whacking.

    At Vail it's more about riding the chair naked than skiing naked.

    I think you are missing the point of the game; however i get you are asking for some mountain beta.

    Just make the sh*t up with you and your crew of friends. It's not monopoly and the points don't mean anything to anyone but you.

    Shane disagrees, Vail is all about naked skiing.

    Sounds like you're trying too hard to have fun. Gnar has been played out. If you just want to ski some sick lines stay away from Key, they are all super easy to find at a-basin and you'll need to do some exploring at Breck. The big ones at Breck are obvious once you get above tree line, there's some nice little stashes tucked away but it's up to you to find them.

    And if you try to pull some gnar shit on me like claiming you're the best skier on the mountain I'm going to head butt your face and kick you in the balls. You'll know it's me.

    It's only Gnar in California, in Co. it's the game of EPIC.

    • Ski super crowded areas
    • Get first tracks
    • First Chair
    • Know all stashes and shortcuts
    • Find pow when there is no pow
    • Post POV shit that looks like the mountain is empty when there are 35,000 gapers and 1200 good skiers out
    • Dress like Hitler

    I laugh every time I watch this video. Wind hold is the bane of the handful of "powder days" I get in Southern Vermont.

    This video is hilarious.

    Fuckin' A that is hilarious! Not sure how I haven't seen that before but g'damn that is funny.

    I think you get 80,000 gnar points for finding anything to ski at Copper that's not a boring groomer, 50,000 for double flipping the big jumps line at Key and Breck, and 600,000 for putting the hit out on those dumbasses who let a gaping camera crew follow them around Breck high while they crashed into each other so they could make every mother in the country think weed was the devil a la Reefer Madness. Then getting the forest service to blow up a sweet smoke shack.

    Zero points for riding QS chair 15x back down, naked, and inverted a la photo. 15 runs on Quicksilver, if you can stomach all the Joeys going up, is so fking boring that a depantsed chair ride down would be a relief. Hell is that run on repeat.

    One more thing. Disqualified if your name is Joey, from any state.
