I'm 48 and feeling the same about skiing. I struggled to go at all this season. I think I got 8 or 9 days in. Two were doing small tours with my daughter. I really enjoyed watching her ski as she's...

I was going through my Facebook friends list the other day to send out invites for an upcoming event and I went by dozens of old friends that are no longer here as a scrolled down. It was a little...

I think it was winter of 02 when it started to dump early and Thunder was open before Sub and the tram, patrol was scrambling to get things opened as fast as they could but it came in fast and...

I met Newt on that chair one sunny, bluebird powder morning in December or January of 98. We did a lap or two and then he talked me into doing my first run into Alta Zero.

What's her name?

_______'s Mom will.

That's what she said.

I've been following her now for a few months on the Instagram and ya know, I kind of like her. Sure she isn't the hottest skier out there but somehow has obtained the "pro" skier status and yeah,...

I can't agree with that. At least it has some depth beyond "check me out, look at my line, blah blah blah."

I think if we have learned anything from the last few years is that the expected, statistical norms in regards to weather patterns is kind of off the table now.

Oh F yeah! Private powder day with a ski nuggy? What's not to love about that?

Eagle Point has the goods for some high quality cultivating of the crops from a chair lift.

Seriously, I doubt there's hardly anyone ever there. I'm surprised I haven't seen any powder chasing...

Yes. It's ok. If someone accepts it being a risk in their activities there's nothing wrong with that. It's really no ones business. It's their life and their death.

I'm a firm believer that none...

Good article.

Taking chances is ok. Death is ok. Don't be a fucking pussy.

Beaver, Utah.

It's rural Mormon Utah as it gets, the ski area isn't real big but they get a shit ton of snow and there's fantastic touring all around the ski area and along the access road and...

If Foggy's post is TLDR for some I'll sum it all up with,

Don't be a fucking pussy.

Things are definitely getting interesting.

I wonder what's about to happen to gas prices.

Thinking is hard, judging people is easy. IMO empathy or the lack of says a lot about a person.

I'd think the lower Richfield stuff is in play by now. that's where I'd probably go if I were you. Cedar City might be a good option as well.

Cool bridge work. It's not often that you see land managers on board with wood work like that.

That was a test, I wasn't able to post here yesterday.

Blast Off? This trail is sick! I love the use of natural rock integrated into the big, jump features. I need to get there. Maybe this summer.

Walt financed Sugar Bowl Ski Areas development and helped Squaw secure it's Olympic bid in 1956.

I always thought the elevator lift to get into the tram at Squaw felt like a theatrical Disney...

Did she break her leg? I see that she was brought out on a a make shift toboggan.

Shock and fear hits everyone differently. No judgement on my end. She thought she was dead for a minute there....

I'm not asking you to agree with it or feel the same. We are all different and in different places. The changes, crowds, traffic, dangerously overcrowded slopes etc. is very real here and I'm not...

Same 150% for me. It's like I almost resent powder day hype BS.

My best days last season were in April during a week long MF corn event ripping empty groomers on my metal skis. It was like I could...

I had a handful of years where I predominantly ski toured. I found that during that time that my actual ski strength started to go to pot. I got back into lift skiing to get stronger again then all...

Yup. A simple bad choice or mistake can escalate into a monumental shit storm real quickly. A lot of folks don't really understand this.

That's an impressive, big ass day!

Can I nominate twelve dots for next year? I'm a poor trail builder that can't donate to the cause but it sounds like twelve dots would really appreciate seeing the Swiss Alps. I'm not sure I would...

This is why I prefer the midweek packed powder days over powder day skiing anymore. It's lost its value for me. With the thin SW skiing conditions we often have I like to let the hordes pack it in...

RAD! I'd love to be able to be there for a day like that. Hopefully in a few more years I'll be able to pull off a good long stint there to hopefully catch it proper.

YESSSS!!!

I did a couple of hitch hiking trips from Steamboat with Buddies to go ski A-Basin during mud season. We would start climbing at 7-8 and sit on top of Shit For Brains waiting for it to often up. Once...

Add something about diversity and being "all inclusive" for the big win.

As in the club in Steamboat from the 90's?

Good god those were some days.

Oh damn! Will there be a Colorado invasion?

Did you go into the down town historic district in Kingman? It's really nice but the outskirts and zones right off the exits are pretty rough. You should have hit me up. There's some new stuff out on...

So sick. What a dream to be there with conditions like that.

Three new trails volunteers helped us build in Kingman, Arizona that we finished over the last month or so.

Mars Attacks. Blue DH.

Land Of the Lost....

I just want to know where the F that skier in the third artist rendition image down is supposed to be landing? It looks like that homeboy is flying straight to the hospital or morgue.

I bet he is but good lawd! Skiing central like that is most definitely savage! :D

Yes!!!

So this is Santa Fe? I thought I saw some good rocks there for a bit of the ole carcass huckins!

Filthy.

Greasy.

Savage.

Hide yer daughters men.

Ewe! Too far Harry, too far! :biggrin:

Dreamland!

You all nailed it!

I'm 48 and I often feel the same. Life can be exhausting.

Tomorrow is a new day and there are things to look forward to.

Haha! Thanks for noticing. I honestly paused for a moment before hitting post on that one wondering if this could be taken as too far :D.

The kooks with the broken binders?
