I think this is a different chopper, but that IG superstar can still be seen buzzing around timp. At least, he was up there when I skied cold fusion last spring. I guess a $500 fine when you own a...

It was alright on Saturday. I haven't really skied off piste since....

The Forest Service has an open investigation into the Yurt that has popped up on Mineral Hill and the cat ski operation. I called the ranger station this morning and they asked me to send them any...

My years were mixed up as were my crust events. But I stand by my statement that the 2011-2012 season sucked. my bad

it was drizzling going over parley's yesterday morning as well

AND FUCK THE 2011 MLK RAIN CRUST. 2011-2012 wasn't that good of a snow year, it was a dry fall and start to winter and then when it...

I agree there is a lot of volatility with VSTO. but betting on guns as a democrat takes office was too easy not to jump on it. Plus it seems like it has room to grow according to its 5 yr...

I've been watching bullet and gun stocks since the presidental election. Wish I would have jumped on this one last week, but RGR and VSTO have been treating me well since I bought them before the...

Never pretty to air your dirty laundry out in the public for all to see and it's sad to see Mark White take a shot at the avalanche center like that. Equally sad that he won't be contributing...

Seemed like a poorly researched article where the author just took Lesh's word for most of the events and didn't bother to call anyone else involved in the story or fact check. Oh well fuck that guy...

anyone thinking about buying AAPL, FB, or TWTR?

I suspect it will bounce back, anyone disagree?

glademaster knows. It's not bad until it is and then it can get real bad real quick. I'd rather ski brakeless than ski on brakes that are too wide. hooking a brake at 25-60 mph hurts and I have a...

wow! thanks for the mind surf this monday afternoon.

Whats access like to the Ranquil valley? can't tell if that's a road running west-east above the names on the map you posted.

monday morning bump

Why not just remove the 9990 chairlift? The problem is that lift basically puts people on the most deadly ridge line in UT.

I bet there would be a decrease in avalanche fatilities if that lift...

Don't recall a ski tour where I felt and heard more collapsing, whompfing and saw shooting cracks. Seems like everyone hit a lot of rocks too. Views were nice and heard a good story about jimmy. I...

That's gold, Jerry, gold!

RIP to the victim. Always tragic and hopefully people will learn but that seems unlikely.



I'm not for closing the gate or regulating it. I also dont like the expansion talk from multiple...

I ran dynafit toes with plum toes after my plum toes cracked. It worked fine and I probably used this set up for 1-2 years before I sold it.

It works fine with most low tech pin bindings, but you...

This ski delivers the best of both worlds when it comes to uphill and downhill performance. DPS created this ski specifically for Backcountry and made it with Wasatch skiers in mind, adding a little...

new voile strapXdynafit collab binding! Lightest in the game, skis better than your look pivots. The revolution is here!

This happened to me yesterday morning, hadn't seen this happen on ATK bindings before. Is this a common occurrence?

I've noticed that. There was a snowboarder that posted a photo of him jumping off the berthoud shack roof that got the people going..... Not too surprising that he's a sponsored rider for Virduka

Personally, I find that group to be extremely judgmental and somewhat entertaining. one guy posts a pic of their ski track and people demand pit results and shame the skier for not providing that...

Somehow I'm not surprised that was your experience

This tread is dog gone awesome!

Wish I could have left work soonerhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210106/20c650f69b41001afeeb4376b9ebaa71.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210106/006fd66b1a0e80d3a8db9a5fa92ed4d8.jpg

Those look like the grips that come on a lot of bamboo poles. You could try to contact one of them and see if they'd sell you just the grips.......

Exactly, I wasn't banking on the refund, but the ability to roll it over which is looking pretty likely for me and my wife. Now, I just gotta figure out what date is the point of no return aka when I...

I'd chalk it up to the [projected/current] bad snow year more than the avy conditions.

I think it was the 4 mm horizontal travel of the heel piece so somewhat by markers design. But it didn't start out moving and progressed to moving after touring on it a dozen times.

I've also...

Eldora doesn't get snow, is shorter on vert and has a lot of double fall line terrain from what I remember from skiing there 15ish years ago

Yep, just make sure it's an alterra resort. So you'll need to go to crystal first to get a hard pass before alpental. Or if you go to Utah, DV or solitude before LCC, etc.

Had to get my wife's...

Exactly, steamboat is fun enough. Challenging it's not, but it's fun and all those intermediate midwesterners get a nice ego boost and true expert skiers have a mountain to feel superior to. Win-win....

If you go to an alterra owned resort, they can print your pass at the ticket window.

Mine stopped rotating completely after about 20-30 tours on em.

I also didn't like that the heel moved back and forth a little and could feel the heel piece move when I had risers up and I stepped...

I'm in steamboat and it feels crowded. Like normal xmas crowded.

I also haven't gone skiing since we got here because I'm nursing an injury but I was up at the base today and it seemed pretty...

We've been playing splendor lately. It's fun and over relatively quickly

Patagonia missed the opportunity.....

That shits gonna sell. My wife, a bunch of co-workers and y'all are talking about it. Don't worry, I bet it sells out in hours like a supreme drop

I've noticed the inconsistency in alta's snowfall reporting since the marketing department took over those duties from patrol. It kind of annoys me since Alta's snowfall has historically been...

Nice humble brag on the time and the swag, looking like a wasatch pro out there pops! Stoked to hear fatherhood hasn't slowed ya down and that you've put the bike away for the year

Glad you...

Hot air balloon is the best way to beat the traffic these days. Much safer than flying a helicopter. Just make sure you live somewhere you can catch the NW flow to the resorts. My dumbass buddy...

Never seen a red snake at 6 am. crazy busy up there this morning. Alta was turning people around by 915.

Still need a lot more snow but the low angle noodling was fun.

I'm on team skier compaction, but you're comparing apples to oranges. Highlands is way different in terms of terrain than Steamboat. Steamboat doesn't have a single slide path that compares with...

that's the dream tbh

Denis Johnson is a master of short stories in my opinion.

Jesus' Son is a great collection of his shirt stories. He's got one where it's basically this guy's last thoughts as he's shot in the head...

I've always done it over 3-4 days with a truck or two. Makes the ride a blast, sorta like a raft trip on bikes. I've always gotten to ride the whole thing as others typically wanted a break. Doing it...

Fuck ya! That got me pumped adrenalated!

Oh and I agree love me a slow burn December sunrise/sunset. Been the motivating factor to get out for me lately
