We used to call that line the ramp, is there another name?
Agreed! Cascade was worth the trip today. Only minor shark encounters.Quote:

My youngest was 6 when she started, she is 10 now, so a little older. I am pretty sure she thought skiing was code for French fries and cocoa for the first few years. Needless to say, not a lot of skiing when she went but we always had fun and it was good exercise for her fine motor skills, core strength, and confidence.Quote:

It obvious but I respect not blowing up the spot.
Interlopers.

Honestly I hate sleds to death. They're a pain in the ass, loud, and always break. But at this time in my life I'm trying to get on as much terrain as possible and improve my skillset, so I'm using one to facilitate that. Hopefully in my Jeremy Jones days I will have ditched the sled long ago.
Would a fat e bike work for approaches?Quote:

I don't hate sleds by any means, I just don't really have access to one. Actually would love to get one due to the amount of terrain it would open up for me. I'm all about getting as many turns in as possible, preferably untapped. Where that's at a resort, touring by foot, or a sled if that's what it takes.Quote:

Oh I hear ya man the terrain a sled has opened up for me is great. I just have a love hate relationship because 1. I suck at riding them and 2. they're a money pit haha. The new ones look so nice but damn they cost as much a car now!Quote:

Do you youngsters still call it the ramp?
Totally get it. People ruin everything and social media as only hastened it, especially in regions that are experiencing insane growth.Quote:

Lol at this list that includes both the Rat and Charlies. Guess I don't have to leave my back yard.
+ 1 on optimism about the storm but that is a long ways out so we will just have to keep refilling our coffee and see.
Palmer lapz up for whoever can get up there in the meantime.
^ I'm looking to get out there for more fun b/c adventures this year too. I have my Avy 1 and I like to have fun and be safe.
