I find this phenomenon comical and needed to update the chart I made a few years back.

Interesting to see 2014/2015 as an outlier season, must have...

I think this has more to do with a function of available terrain... Last time I checked it was a lot easier to be a good tech skier at a Buck Hill, cause well, that's the only option.



Take a...

It was not that often but you could still do it on certain days. I had still been able to catch every box for at least one day a season up until last year. Two and three seasons ago this was after...

UU, MSU, WS (gunnison) and Reno are probably the best options in the US if skiing is the only priority. But living in SLC and Reno isn't all that attractive for many reasons, and Bozeman/Gunni are...

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out here...

My comments were certainly not directed at yours Peacecoast. Sorry if they were recieved that way.

There were a few comments on the last page about the forcast, and I've heard the same sentiments...

Thanks!

Any tips for Google keyword searches. I had tried this prior to posting with no luck:

"the avalanche review alpine meadows avalanche 1982"

Vibes to everyone involved here. Always heartbreaking when anyone is lost to accidents like these.

I just wanted to echo what Haysman said, BTAC wasn't out of line here IMO. They called Moderate...

I seem to remember a great article in some TAR about this event. Anyone know which issue..? I wish the TAR archives still had the ability of keyword searching.

The "low hanging fruit" is pretty much always hammered, but not difficult to escape the masses and walk a little farther.

As for conditions, the skiing right now lingering somewhere between...

This looks great, and I look forward to reading it. Thanks for sharing

I have probably 200+ days on my pair, they make me happy on groomers, skiing pow, and in chamonix each spring. I'll buy another pair once they get retired

Yea those days are loooong gone. Granite has been hammered recently.

The bridge on the DPS can be "trusted" in some places but not quite everywhere yet. Last big slide on any sort of basal facets...

This page made me laugh. This is the internet, so I'm obligated to give my opinion

I lived in CO for 20 some odd years, and spent tons of days at CB and Telluride (Abasin as well, but it doesn't...

I would love to but don't have a ticket currently. Who's got my extra??

Didn't think I'd be around these parts this week, but alas, here I am, and ITS SOLD OUT!

The talks look great, any leads...

Long shot, but anybody out there with a backcountry code...?

Ridge to road is roughly 26 degrees. (2800' drop over 5700' run).

Which isn't a really low alpha angle for 50-100 year type slide, at least compared to slide paths with actual runouts

Thanks for posting woodsy

Thanks Bruce!

"succeeded" ?? or got lucky...

Absolute best case scenario out there today was a 30"+ soft slab that accumulated in roughly 36hrs, which already constitutes "high" danger and a likelyhood of skier...

Sure I can, this is the fucking internet

Today's situation might be a bit of an outlier as endless on a day like today is borderline passive suicide. However, I'm with Pancho on this one, people 100% push it pretty hard here and more often...

Thanks for sharing this

Vibes to all those involved.

It's the F20M. It's nice for what it is (a very small little flash that is great compared to the in camera option) but I think it's sony's cheapest flash.

I've got some Sony gear that I'm ready to get rid of.

You know what they say, if you want it to snow then just schedule a World Cup downhill race.

That being said I really hope they get the DH off without issue

I'm glad this has been brought up again this fall. Some context for the jongs:

Adrenalated, keep in mind your perception of shitshow on winter roads is skewed from our beloved I70. You'll giggle at how easy that drive is.

Also, this trip is a great decision.

150+ a few years back. I don't think I've had a season below 100 since I was 14

As a young ski racer while he was in his prime I was always looking up to him. The world cup circuit won't be the same. Dude was a badass...
