Glad you guys had a good day. I had a FUCKING AWESOME day on the hill today. No lift lines, and bottomless blower (if you knew where to look :D ).

I'll see you on the 27th. Have a good Christmas!

Finals are over, I'm heading north for the winter, and big, fucking FAT snowflakes have been falling from the sky in Whistler. I'm happier than a Catholic priest at choir practice.

FKNA, man! Good to see you back. Wanna know how long you've been gone? I'm in college now. Time flies, eh? Stick around, we need more people that remember what this place was.

What would you do if you put your kid down on Santa's 65-year-old raging megaboner? I'm sure the man realized that he had to do something to keep his job once he got a stiffy.

Alternatively, this...

yep. how'd you know that?


Back on topic, I hope that it snows so much tonight that they have to close Whistler until I get there on Thursday. ;)

Dude, you're in my GEOG 210 class. What do we have to know about the downtown eastside? I missed that field trip.

Dude, that's so weak. I pity you. Do you have any idea how much I've learned while you've been wasting your time skiing pow? I've learned so much, it's not even funny. I'm a walking encyclopedia now....

Back-to-back mother-in-laws? You didn't go all Mormon on us and get yourself a second wife, did you Toby? I know C's been after you to provide a second income, but I don't think she meant for you to...

Billy Poole goes fkn large.

Sweet movie for sure, thanks for the stoke.

I loaned this movie to someone and never got it back. I can't remember who I loaned it to, so I don't think I'll ever see it again. As far as I understand, it's sold out... Heath's ordering page...

Go to the Escape Route by the village IGA (grocery store) for the advanced guidebook and any backcountry maps/guides/info. The guidebook will not be sold out, it never is.

I don't know when I'll...

You guys who are ripping on this article need to stop taking it personally. The old guard from the powmag boards (and before) see this place differently than people like Story who showed up long...

Good choice man, Prior does GREAT work on their boards.

Their skis, however, could use some work...

I think that's a great write-up. Mr. Story, if you're reading this, congrats. You did a good job with a tough assignment. Nice writing.

He definitely captured the spirit of this place. I also...

Damn! Gosey, if that's you in the pic above, you're stepping it up huge! Way to go, man. Also, blurred, is that you in the big huck that I'm assuming is in East Vail? That's large and in charge...

You can, but you'd need to pack a lip, and the landing gets flat in a hurry.

But I'll see what I can do... just let me finish these fucking finals first. :D

I'm not a fan of YourSupremeExcellency at all, I think he's a grade-A douchebag for a variety of reasons (not least of all the Nazi Cartman in his avatar), so don't misconstrue this as me taking his...

Squads snap like toothpicks. I've seen more Squads (or their predecessors, the xXx series) break than any other ski by far.

I rode a pair of Gotamas for two days. Didn't hit a single rock, and...

yeah, I was wondering the very same thing. Is McCore okay?

I believe he's done with his school shit on the 15th. I'm done on the 19th. Then it will be a full-on assault. FKNA!

Nice pics phil! Looking good. You can't believe how jealous I am.

NO. The Recco whitebook is a piece of shit that makes me furious at its author(s). There are several quotes in it from sponsored riders that say things to the effect of "I'm stoked on my Recco...

I hear this kind of shit all the time. What you're suggesting is that someone might stumble across this thread and say to themselves, "Boy, these guys are onto something! That sounds like a fantastic...

Registered, stoked, praying for snow. Thanks for the heads up ryank.

I'm in too... that's one of the lines I have to tick off this season. Sounds like we're going to run a train on it.

Scott Gaffney, the people's champ.

Well played, sir. http://www.tetongravity.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

You haven't seen this year's skis. The pairs I've seen are indeed, perfectly clean. Beautiful production.

Damn, I gotta get to that factory. I want to see where the magic happens. Athan, we should stop by when we're down there for the Kirkwood comp.

By the way, I know I've said it before, but the new...

Maitre's line, no doubt. That's the best comp line ever skied in North America, in my opinion. The judges want to feel like they're watching a ski movie, and Maitre delivers.

I'd definitely like to echo these sentiments.

My only concern is the venue getting fucked up. At the Red comp a few years ago, the qualifiers were untracked powder before inspection. By the time...

I would like to call attention to the fact that THERE IS NOT A SINGLE SPELLING ERROR IN THE ABOVE POST. Patrick, that is fucking astounding. IT definitely makes your post easier to read than your...

It's that stuff your wife does every day while you go skiing or biking. ;)

Read this article.

My problem is a little different though. Basically, I am borrowing a flash drive from a friend, and the flash drive has a pc spyware program on it. I am trying to use the...

Google didn't turn anything up, and neither did searching here. Are there any free spyware scanners for macs? if not, are there any worth paying for?

Thanks.

This thread is so good there should be a cover charge to get in.

I heart the Great White North.

SICK photos.

I also have a brand new pair of 192s, and I am floored by the improvements from last year to this year. And last year's skis were not bad by any stretch of the imagination. I can't wait to put these...

FKNA! Nice work, Gunder. I can't wait to see it. Y'all best git to some whiskey drinkin' now!

Or make you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

I turn 21 on the 26th of this month. I think we should keep the law exactly the same so that all the bastards that are younger than I am have the same experiences that I did. It's valuable to have...

Cancer has taken too many of the best people I have ever been privileged to know.

Well, sure. He has what I believe lawyers call 'plausible deniability.' But it's him.

I'll vouch for this man. Toby is a great guy, and he respects people who deserve it. And even if you question his integrity, which you shouldn't, is there any doubt that it was Brett who made that...
