I suffered a bilateral type VI TPF on Feb 10th of this year at Brighton. I posted about it in the thread above a few weeks after while awaiting surgeries at Duke here in Durham. BTW THANKS to the...

I do have a hospital bed and a lot of other things to make things more manageable at home. We had about a weak between flying home and being admitted here too work out logistics. Apparently only...

Well here I am, guess I always knew it was a matter of time before I would join the ranks of the fallen here in Gimp central. Actually I did make a visit 15 yrs ago with a busted up shoulder and...

I think this is a genuine sighting of our one true Lord---I was sore afraid he had ascended and left us all behind but you cannot mistake the aggressive set of that godlike chin. Praise be and how...

Thanks all!

Guess I knew I'd end up in Gimp Central eventually

Didn't come off as judgemental at all! I have been beating myself up about that very point. I have specifically heard Cody and others discussing this issue and always justified my equipment choice...

well..after a great beginning of this trip with my sons, plan was Solitude,Brighton, Snowbird, then I was going to scoot to points further afield but it came to an abrupt halt Tuesday...

Amazing shots from everyone, the stoke is high in this one

I have the ways of a gentleman, so I've been told.....

I at least don't intend to be part of the traffic problem for what that's worth, despite it's challenges I plan for us to use the UTA or...

so i will be arriving in SLC this Thursday, just love the spooky bipolar vibe of that city, I've stayed at the Avenues in the past but I'm all grown up now.

My sons and I have the IKON!

Shall...

its so good, and as said above, also check out Red Creek Sessions

yeah, I'm looking too

on a lesser note, I had a great day today at Stratton, top to bottom and along two upper lifts, just endless fast and firm often with no one else in sight

Does anyone know if when Pico reopens...

jesus christ they were still on the fucking loading zone... " as they were loading, the chair detached from the haul rope, and both hit the hard, snow-packed ground." oh dear, oh dear

thanks crankplank! solid info., glad your season is about to commence

I've found similar info in other places. Don't exactly get the logistics of why getting the bus back down is so much worse than the bus up. BTW we will probably do Brighton and Soli on the actual...

just listened to the previously linked saltlakecitycast podcast. "ghost buses" was my take away, all in favor of paranormal activity but sounds like a dubious solution

Hey kind folk (i just know you'll be kind) I'm much more familiar with Colorado as a solo usually last minute storm chasing traveler; familiar with the nauseating mess of I-70, best way to avoid...

nevermind, see now thats beyond wishful thinking

I am buying a new skis, cannot afford the salomon shifts so was going to mount Wardens to work with my Scarpa boots.... is the Shift and warden hole pattern the same?, cause that would be awesome for...

Boulder creek inn and suites in Donnelly is fkng excellent

Good snow at Tamarack today,,, and of course all the powder hunting termites were not seeking this

Brundage tomorrow, first time, entirely excited

Inland PNW thread suggested I ask here
.....
Any recomm.s for a cheap hotel in Boise?

And Tamarack and Brundage are looking good with this storm, anyone been out yet?

Oh yeah, and is Anthony...

i just think you people are missing the point of this thread-- this is a place for sneering superiority, NOT of positive experience and growth... jesus christ, stay focused

well said

Is it too late to pretend irony?

Hold on, I'll call

just a heads up, this Indy Pass is going to bring in a lot of fucking idiots ---

oh dear, my tourist status is really showing --- but excellent to know I was worried

yeah I'll just listen and learn for a while

OK, that would definitely suck,,,,, however I just got off the phone with someone in the office at Whte pass and she said that is NOT the case. She said whether the paradise basin and lifts were...

Once they actually have lifts spinning how good is White Pass about opening terrain? esp the lifts on the backside, paradise basin I guess

Yes, at $50 day ticket I could go off the Indy pass for that one! I have heard about that place for years, now may be the time

That makes sense and is my general plan now. I will keep it to Indy resorts and may do some driving but only to one subset, trying for more than 2 or 3 mountains as you say is just a fever thing. ...

Great info,

Being on the indy pass is an essential, car rental and lodging, even shitty lodging, means I won't pay for tickets and really there is so much just on the indy pass.

If were...

I'm copying this onto both the PNW and and the Inland PNW thread, bad manners I suspect

oh.... and apparently just a little windy too

well however I work it, I gotta make it -- get my pass for a snowy afternoon at Loveland tomorrow, and head west thurs for more powder

catching a bus or hitching a ride and helping with gas has certain advantages for apres -- is I recall Pow Mow has a pretty decent bar

Anyway good info all, thanks Was glad to see that Powder...

Thanks, the air bnbs look sweet but pricey for me traveling solo, generally speaking I'm ok with shitty motels, at least for a night ... carry your own towel and pillow case and keep your socks and...

Using the partner days from my Loveland Pass at Powder mountain, been years since I was there and can't wait. Now in the time of Covid it seems the ski buses are limited to 20 passengers which sounds...

In honor of page 1600 let me say, THEY look fun!

Monarch has been spectacular, they opened Mirkwood Thurs before the storm cycle had even arrived, and by today? fucking awesome.

I used my three free days at Monarch that I get with the Loveland...

I stay at hostels some during most of my trips -- Fireside is in Breck I thought ? been years though and I was only there once, for a bunkroom style bed it was overpriced. There are two hostels in...

Very good indeed! You there?



Thanks, judging from the CDOT cam it looked active. Since I'm out of state and often solo hanging meadow zone is where I often am anyway

Did you make it there and back (frostbite free) and how was it, which zone?

also nice touring off the pass or from the area

It's going to be interesting to see the effects of all the trees they had to thin -- hoping they cut the stumps down close to the ground

love Monarch but never been there early season -- anyway that's great cause they are ion my loveland pass

Is that just due to the natural or have they been snowmaking?
