All great info! I’m taking notes for sure and gonna keep it as open as possible. I’m all for renting a car, but I can’t find anywhere that I can rent in Spokane and drop in Calgary. I’m gonna call...

Peeeeeeps,

Been a long ass time since I've been on here, but I'm back! Went through a stint of bad marriage, great kids and a touch of depression but skiing brought me back over the past 2 years....

So 2+ weeks ago I was skiing over at Elk Mountain in PA. I was bombing one of their larger runs, all hardpack and I threw a really hard speedcheck. :nonono2::nonono2::nonono2: Caught an edge and...

Sadly there's only snowmen to be made with a Vertical Drop of 230 Ft.

Hum, I don't remember having any trouble getting drunk around Park City. Something major change in the past 4 years?

Not from what I've been hearing, and shit... there's still 3 weeks before we leave. Giving that Feb is one of Utahs best snow months we could still be looking at over 100" of pow dropping in the...

Ya, I goto CO every year, and most likely I'll still be going this year. Just changing it up.

Hey Mags and Maggettes,

So there's about 10 of us East Coasters heading out to Utah Feb. 23-28 (5 nights). Last time I was out there I only hit the Canyons and Snow Basin. This year, I'm trying...

Awesome video. One of the best Apre Ski dinners I ever had was at White Grass.

Keep it up!

yooper, few friends of mine went to Jackson last year and met up with Tye1On (accidently, mind you) and he's good peoples. Buy him a beer or 2!

Just drove back (away from the snow) from Gore Mountain yesterday. Last two days were awesome, but driving away from the storm must have been the most retarded thing I've ever done.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

I should really start reading TGR before mid October. Have fun guys!

Great vid! Snow, Guns, Booze... All it's missing was some women!

If those do 1/4 of what the video states, I'll...

Haha! You guys are awesome. Just reminded me of the time we were on the shuttle from Ghee heading back to JH and we stopped at the four seasons, and my pal said, "Who the fuck is staying here?",...

My shop refused to mount and DIN test them, so I'll do it myself, I have my marker cert.

Chugachjed, What shop do you work at? The pay off might be worth the flight out there and broken...

Sadly, nobody over here in philly knows jack shit about AT. Hence me asking in here.

Tye 1on... Thanks... found it just minutes before you sent it.

Shirk... Ya, that's pretty much what I was wondering, from the link I posted and a few other details about the standard I read. I just never found anything that said the Dukes were ISO 9523 (in...

*backing away slowly...* shheesh, That's what I figured, but I was just making sure before I went and dropped $700 for a boot.

Ya, I was just looking at a video of the Dynaduke setup. Where does one find more info about these plates and inserts?

Oh, and straight from their website...

I'm in line for a new set of mudstompers, and something about the Dalbello Virus is getting to me. Ever since I put one on back in October.

So I'm reading up on their site and I took note of...

Shouldn't drink soda...

If it was beer I bet you'da been more careful.

I'm buying that helmet and telling all my friends that was me! :the_finge

But seriously, WOW. Awesome shots!

I couldn't resist posting this in here. Fucking classic!

I strap on my boots and watch me go.
But I can's ski, until...

That'll be next year, and hopefully we can meet ya there. But the next one is Breck/Arapahoe... Or is it Aslapahoe Basin?

There was only one camera, and when I wasn't stopped taking pics of the landscapes, I was busy pointing downhill. Not to mention, there wasn't much pow to be found. Hell, it felt just like the EC...

Hope I didn't just blow his cover. Heh

After a hell of a bad American Airlines flight, and a 7 hour drive from SLC we finally made it out to the Tetons. Many thanks to Tye 1on for the levels of help.

EC Lamers...

I was in Tahoe (Heavenly/KWood) last January, and it was icey hardpack and 70 degrees. I went to JH last week and it's their worst season in nearly 60 years.

Moral is, don't follow me around,...

Have we moved this thread elsewhere? Reports on Grand Targhee says they got over 3 feet this week. Is that true? I'm flying out in < 36 hours and just wanna hear the inside.

If I should be...

So it's sounding like I should take my bridges instead of my shamans... I was really hoping for the greatest powder I've ever stomped. poo

Thanks Bro, totally missed that.

Diggin up an old ass thread, but it doesn't seem like JH is doing so well thus far in the year? I'm heading out there Jan 5th, and would love to catch some pow pow.

I asked in the semi-dead...

Anything new? I'm heading up on Jan 5th, and it's not looking too promising.

We just got off the phone with the agent and we're settled in for Jan 5th - 12th. We didn't reserve any lifts yet, I wanna see if there are any hook ups with the shop I work for.

I'm starting to...

No one said I was a census collector, I was just speaking from what kinda makes sense. Actual data could def shoot my theory down. I just think money is just money, and fun and priceless, until...

Not so true... during a state of depression, people will spend the money for "FUN" and take their family out on a vacation to forget about the hard times, even though it makes their times harder. ...

I shave them, that's the way your mom likes it!:FIREdevil
