We had to stow our airbag packs in the basket.

So he's the MasterGaper? Say MasterGaper quickly three times...

Never have been to the resort in question (with Mr. GoPro) and I'm wondering about all that gear. A climbing harness? Must be seriously badass terrain you guys have there.

Epic convergence of...

Word. My wife and I had a guy from the singles line today want to take seat #3 with us. Jeans tucked into his boots, no helmet/goggles, coat wide open, no poles and rental skis. "Hell, buddy,...

In case you have nothing better to do...

I totally get that everyone is a beginner skier at some point, but the helmet cam & youtube...

"That's a snowboard run, not a ski run."

priceless

We've had a few threads around here that weren't far off that...!

1. Where is the powder? Pow pow means powder?
2. What is the large belay locker for? Expecting a rappel? (see #3)
3. A SPOT on a green groomer?
4. POV means from your point of view, not of an...

Thanks for the Coke that just came out my nose.

Last week I took my family to Marmot Basin near Jasper for some skiing. My daughter is a strong intermediate aspiring-advanced skier, but my wife is a first-year skier and having some difficulty in...

Oh, she knew the same as you. She's stuck in the ticket window and is hoping that SOME of that snow is saved for her...

Keep them thinking that. If you hear that, jump in and get all excited and explain how powder is avalanche prone, causes weak bridges over the glacier crevasses (of course we're on a glacier, fool)...

And here I always thought the probe was an "apres ski" device...

How else will be you be able to tell your buddies where you're buried...?

When I was young I saw dogs turn into foxes, but it had nothing to do with altitude, but instead number of beers...

Wow, some things never change. 25 years ago we'd be "gettin' ripped" at the Riptide in Haines or at varying establishments in Skagway and the cruise ship tourons would ask the same friggin'...

Did you have that pre-approved by Brock to ensure it was to his standard of "not cunting up his thread?" 'Cause I'll be honest with you, it's funny, but it's one of those moments that is MUCH...

If one were to peruse the annals (WHOA! I said "annal" NOT "ANAL," so zip it back up, didn't mean to get you so excited) of this thread you'd find a series of common themes...

Not a skiing story, but still amusing. My partner Malcolm and I were preparing to climb Murchison Falls as this other pair was racking up. The guy with the screws was going on and on about being an...

Sorry, just of yours...

I don't have a lot of experience at resorts, but find them interesting for the people that I see there. My observation is that the majority of the skiers are not "mountain loving" people, in that...
