I guess I didn't specify where, but no, I didn't envision it in the middle of the new carpet area. Plenty of space outside the never ever slopes for a 300 person alcove up there

I went the second night, it was a blast. It was a classic SK, loose operation but it got the job done.

If I were running the show there, I'd find a way to make a more permanent mini amphitheater....

Thanks, and yes. Risk tolerance (while intertwined) can be unrelated to both experience and/or prowess

I edited my post a few minutes before your comment to add that the slope angle discussion was what reminded me of the Silverton accident. Regardless, I didn't say they were similar. Simply reminded...

The caltopo slope shading is great. But my sense is that it's being used inapropriately quite often, myself included. Jeff Deems wrote an article this topic for The Avalanche Review a few years ago....

All this stuff was brand new this fall, I just have gone a different direction with everything. Skis rip but are overkill for my purposes. I've opted for a softer touring boot since I have a...

This was great, thanks for sharing

Reminds me UAN shouldn't be the only one posting pics! Here's a few from a time long long ago (January) when soft snow was readily available

Looks like the west side to me. Up Fox Cr maybe off the flanks of Housetop. Fossil in the background there

Models seem to be in agreement with 8-12" in the Tetons by Friday midday. West flow too, $$ for the ghee.

Aside from closing that zone for weeks prior to the event, it's a pretty low-key scene. Not a big spectator event, and if you didn't ski on teton lift, you might not know it's going on.

Thanks for the pic, brought me right back! Some of my absolute best memories on skis, and some downright terrifying ones. I'll look forward to watching on TV later in the week.

The post is holding up a bed in a ski bum cabin.



This was the answer I was hoping for, but I'm fearful it's still too risky. The rest of the cabin is a fucking tinderbox




Honestly...

Long story, but how dangerous is this??

Any ideas to mediate

I don't know what year it started. Comey and the guys who run BTAC compile all the data from the wx stations on the hill and JHMR marketing just uses that for their snow report. They'll also bounce...

Awesome deal, you got a new subscriber. Last one I bought off the shelves was the dead cover issue which I really enjoyed.

Thanks!
