Leaf peeping traffic is worse than the worst of ski traffic. Even during a giant snowstorm.

Lots of liners are almost 50% off, not just the power wrap.

I’ve never seen a deal like this on the intuition website. Hopefully this is not a sign of the company struggling.

I skied some cold snow on north pole proper on Friday. It was glorious.

It is a shame that they rope the shit out of the place the first time it gets warm. It would be nice if they could at...

What an incredible closing day today was.

Ridge was wall to wall.

Super cool to get up on porcupine ridge in Pow. Kudos to Patrol for making it happen.

They are still extremely conservative compared to most ski areas that stay open late. They typically close Pali on or before Loveland's closing day. By mid-May, they rope the shit out of the place...

Sounds like the next installment of the jaded local

Upslopes are cool and deliver impressive totals to the foothills but usually don’t really deliver great snow conditions for ski areas due to limited moisture making it up high and unfavorable wind...

yeah, that was me. https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php/317973-Humbling-experience-on-the-Steep-Gullies-Props-to-A-Basin-Patrol!

They did name the side gully after me though, which...

A-Basin is currently still limited to 5 or 7 days depending on the pass. We will see if that changes after the deal closes.

is that #3? Is the only practical way to get into that one the traverse from 4?

That's wild. It was open last week.

Condolences to all who knew him. From the sounds of it, he was an exceptional human being.

One of my favorite rides I've done is Keystone-->ABasin (hwy6) --> lenawee-->argentine pass out and back --> as much single-track as possible back to keystone. That was pretty much a full day of...

Ill agree to disagree. I love the beavers trail and think that it is super unique to have something like that in an alpine environment.

I also love the Lenawee trail, but for different reasons. ...

🤔

I can have a lot of fun at Monarch. It is all about expectations.

Loveland had Chet’s, ptarmigan and 6 running by 11 am. It was a pretty nice day. Relatively warm and the wind was actually pretty typical by loveland standards after mid-morning.

Regardless, that video is some of the best, most informed coverage of an avalanche from a news source I have seen. Props to that station for actually having someone report on it who is at least...

This doesn't sound good at all. Hoping no one is buried.

Correction: Resorts with lots of high elevation, north and east facing terrain rarely suck, i.e., CB, A-Basin, Loveland, Highlands, Breck.

Lower elevation resorts like Vail, BC, and Steamboat...

Loveland opened Nix at around 3pm yesterday for directed skiing. Felt good to get some soft snow under the skis.

From the manufacturer perspective, their margins from Expert Voice are as good if not better than selling to retailers. Its a win-win for them.

Nice, thanks for the link. STOKED!

I used code WELCOME15 - which brought it down to 11.89 shipped.

Not going to lie, I use expertvoice all the time. I am a ski coach and used to get access from my USSA (USSS) coaches membership. Some of the deals are not great (<30% or so), but some are in the...

Hey, there is a storm-a-brewing! Here's to hoping it's big enough to open some non-snowmaking terrain and get the season truly rolling.

How do I give them my money and get powder back?

You rock Shera!

You were always kind back when I was a dumb college kid.

Have a great birthday!

How is the mountain skiing? Website says 60% open and thinking of making a trip to get off the groomers.

That really is a fantastic deal. You couldn't Heli ski anywhere in the world for less than that.

Maybe these new owners aren't trying to price out the ski bum after all.

I am 35. Found TGR my freshman year of college in 2006 (coming from PA to Boulder) and the damn place truly changed my life. Before I found TGR, I thought nobody in Colorado actually skied more...

opening Friday!

Not sure I understand. Lenawee accesses the east wall, so yeah. I like Lenawee.

The beavers is another story. I can't for the life of me figure out why people love skiing Volkswagens in low...

I'll be contrary and state: I like Loveland. Hot laps on the steeps and putzing around on the ridge on a blue day is pretty special. The place also has a sense of community that I haven't...

Got there about 12:30. Lines were about 15 minutes that waned to 5 minutes after 2. After 3, it was ski right onto the lift.

Fun first day. Pass lap on the way out was pretty fun as well!

Anyone ever dealt with ON3P on a warranty repair? The tails on my 2022 wrens started to delam near the end last season and ON3P had be send them in for repair. They sent me one email saying they...

Snowcats on the hill today. I am going with a Sunday opening. If they don't make Sunday, they will probably wait for Halloween on Tuesday, which would be cool.

I totally get what you mean with the management of the place, but in my experience the snow is often good and the terrain is unique for inbounds anyway (2000'+ sustained avalanche gullies). It is...

I wouldn't mid if they just bumped up the price for unguided, maintain the limit on skier numbers and made guides optional (and for an added fee) throughout the main season. It sure would be nice to...

Keystone does indeed suck. Breck is actually pretty rad (except for the crowds).

Beaver Creek to too low to ski in late march. Prepare for either ice or mush if you go there.

the new BG 118 looks like a slightly more aggressive version of the old Caylor to me. I am pretty excited about it and will probably pick up a pair (as my 2011 Caylors are getting pretty tired).

My 16 year old son and I skied Sayres Benchmark on Sunday near La Plata. Perfect corn around 1PM (north facing)

This is exactly how I feel about the place said in a much more diplomatic manner. Unguided is pretty fun, but guided there is not my cup of tea at all.

Silverton also has a lot of SMUG. Both CB and Telluride have significantly more challenging and complex terrain, but all the dentists flock to Silverton for the marketing of death defying terrain.

An aspect problem (predominantly southeast exposure) that results in terrible, bulletproof skiing in bounds most of the time aside from a few fleeting moments of bliss?

Bumping this one up again because it is an interesting topic to me this time of year.

I thought it was interesting that the CAIC has dropped the "wet loose" problem from the avalanche forecast...

I am 6'3 and 240#. They felt a bit short for about 2 days of skiing, but once I got used to them, they started kicking all kinds of ass and inspiring a ridiculous level of confidence :)

usually about 200-250 dicks per season, depending on the dick cultivating weather.
