Hard to believe that is still true- that was the smart move 27 years ago when I left- some of my best days in the Sierra were at Homewood. Always thought that place was way under rated.

I wouldn’t count on ground transport options in all cases. In many places, there isn’t a ground crew available and appropriate for critical transport. That’s very often the case in most of Wyoming....

Google Earth? Drive out there and look up?

Two snowmobilers caught, 1 burried, located & extracted but unresponsive, pronounced on scene. Pretty much all the detail I've seen.

Took the dogs for a walk up red creek, not much activity on Deadhorse/sphinx/little red. Lots of east facing low elevation stuff ran around Hoback junction, some pretty large faces.

Glad to see the hoards have been scared off by the temps in town (maybe a little less so this afternoon)- it has been fucking glorious on the pass the last couple days. I usually spend most of my...

Lots of people at the hospital on the ID side. Yeah it's a pain and they do expect you to make it to work, but on time isn't always the reality if the pass is closed. I was on the pass for a quick...

But no one died! That means we're all making good decisions, right? And all our beacon/probe/shovel/airbag/avalung/spot gadgets worked to make us safe! Bring on another 30", and a bunch more wind,...

When given for chest pain, dont have them swallow it, have them chew it up (yes, it does taste like shit, but it absorbs much faster). Can also carry the 81mg chewables (baby aspirin), and give 3.

The Red Iguana is pretty legit. I currently have no stoke to offer, other than that the weather is making all the hassle of home buying in Teton County seem even more worth it- keep it coming, we...

The body produces extra RBC's to accommodate reduced oxygenation of tissues (what happens at altitude). There isn't really a built in mechanism to get rid of excess, aside from the natural life cycle...

Not sure this is a good time to brag about the deep in UT.

Didn't get down there much this year, have 6 left from my powder pack. $45 a piece

Ahh, the fun of the WROD. I especially like it when they start doing weird things that involve poles being swung in all directions. If you can reach a pole, grab it and pull. One legged drills build...

Never miss an opportunity to give em a whack with the ski pole. Not a hard belt, just remind them that if you can reach, they are too close, whether they are in front or back. Same goes for the MTB,...

I think that might be a stretch. If by benefit you mean easier access to skied out terrain, then yes. Many like the back country for un-tracked snow and solitude, not just because there doesn't...

You're right. Skip the skiing, study their, they're, & there.

The Alpina climbs better, the Guide (or Madshus whatever its called now) is much faster. My wife skis the Alpina, myself and a bunch of friends ski the Guides. When we tour, she can climb a steeper...

Park City is even better- since I'm coming from WY, that shortens my drive.

Thanks for the info, just what I was looking for- gives me a name to further research, much appreciated. Now if the thing would just heal so I don't have to go see him. Oh well, winter is coming, and...

Moving from SE WY to SW WY, so I guess SLC is the new Denver. Currently have a nagging wrist injury from getting hit by car on my bike. Current doc in Laramie thinks it will probably require surgery,...

One day last winter, my (then) 8 year old skied pretty much open to close at Steamboat. She's got some trouble with her eyes that has always held her back a little physically due to lack of depth...

2nd this- If you're looking for a big city, it is going to be tough to fill the bill. But there are a whole host of mountain towns that fit just fine- I was surprised it went this far before someone...

Sorry that came off that way, the little "fuck you " guy implies sarcasm in most places, or maybe that is why you guys are pissed. Whatever, seems easier to post a little useful info, instead of...

Saw that thread. I figured there was still snow- question was GOOD touring. Like if someone had asked how the skiing is in my little corner of the state, I'd have said by Sunday it might be good...

Coming to town to look at some rentals, any good touring to be had? Mountain biking?

One issue with any sort of regulation that hasn't been brought up is where does the "back country" start? Where is the line where one has to have training and equipment? Does every snowshoer and...

I think it is a foolish behavior- unless it is a really large kid, there is no way it is enough to judge stability of a slope. If it takes a refrigerator size chunk of cornice, then it would seem...

I tour alone all the time, in fact I just got back from a solo tour. The way I see it, I would certainly hope that anyone that goes in small groups (like 2) is fully confident in their ability to do...

No- she came down skiers left/lookers right outside the slide path. There is some old tracks that show up under what slid on lookers left. Some compacted snow in the pack from earlier in the season...

Interesting, but still skeptical. Any hope for something to get flailing boarders out of the way at the other end?
